Sun in 1st house
Your mundane birthday is when the Sun crosses your ascendant and enters your first house. This represents the completion of your personal cycle and some consider it more important than your actual birthday. The following month is a very important time of growth and personal renewal. It may take a little while for you to wake up from the hypnosis stimulated by the previous transit of the twelfth house and results will be different from year to year. Remember that life is an up and down cycle. A lot will depend on how you individually respond to the difficulties. If you’re not responsible and make positive decisions then don’t expect to see positive results. Mars and Aries rule this house and neither will tolerate any slacking. Play your cards right and work hard during this transit and your second house progression will be when you taste the fruits of your labor. For now, it’s time to focus on yourself and developing your personal character and inner spirit. The trauma you went through when the Sun was in your twelfth house was to prepare you for the first. Picture your twelfth house as the cocoon period similar to a butterfly. Your first house transit is when you spread your wings and start to fly. Sometimes you will crash and burn. What matters is how many times you pick yourself back up. The impression you leave on others becomes more vital because if you enforce your opinion too aggressively you might burn some bridges and cause unnecessary riffs. Your family and close friends might be the only ones who can stand you for a while and you can expect to hash out a major indifference during this progression. It will be because you picked the fight. If you can keep your ego in check then your newly formed alliances will become more beneficial further down the road. Planets positioned in this house natally usually indicate lots of activity and a very interesting month. Their condition in your natal chart will also provide an idea of the month to come.
Sun in 2nd house
The second house represents your home, personal values, and individual material possessions. When the Sun is stimulating this area of your chart During this progression you’ll need to reflect on what you own and how it plays a role in your life. It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor you’re going to find out just what you need to survive in this world and what you simply want. Many times, when other planets are negatively involved, this indicates the loss of something you love. Remember personal philosophies and habits can be the item you’re clinging to. If you have planets in this house natally their condition will be a good indicator of how this month long period will end up. This is a good time to consider a new house, or car. Real estate with the intention of profit can be quite lucrative now as well. If you made poor decisions during the Sun’s progression through the tenth house now is when you’re going to find out how sound they’re going to influence you on a material level. Individuals involved in big business should consider expanding it at this time. Possibly involving more office space and personnel. Saturn and Jupiter will show you whether it will be boom or bust. If the answer is bust then don’t try and grow, simply refine your technique. Unless Jupiter is positioned here natally gambling and speculative endeavors aren’t as favorable as they may seem. Venus is the planet ruling this house making social gatherings or large events will also seem more pleasing. Because your ego is identifying with your possessions now would be a good time to throw a big party at your house. Be wise on things you anticipate to buy and sell quickly. Any purchases you make you’re going to end up wanting to keep.
Sun in 3rd house
The Sun’s transition from the second house to third house can be quite invigorating and intellectually uplifting. You may not have noticed feeling a little sluggish or slow, but over the next few weeks you have some new found energy. At this time of year the pace of your immediate surroundings starts to pick up and you feel much more talkative, especially to random strangers. For some reason emails will come pouring in and your phone will start ringing off the hook. On a personal level this is a good time to analyze your casual relationships and how they play a role in your life. Your siblings, cousins, or sometimes distant relatives randomly show their presence and you may get sporadic messages from people you don’t expect to hear from. You may decide to take a quick trip or weekend getaway to go see them. Make sure your phone is charged and you know where it is. Mercury is the ruling planet of this house and if he goes retrograde during this transit then expect to lose or smash it. Watch out for transportation problems as well. Even if you don’t own a vehicle your mode for getting around might break down. This is a much better time for short distance travel as opposed to vacations that will require significant time and effort. Try to avoid trips longer than a week. This house represents communications making reading and writing very productive. At the tail end of this transit your energy seems to disappear instantly and you become fatigued much more easily. This is because you’re preparing for the Sun’s fourth house transit which will be much more emotional.
Sun in 4th house
When the Sun enters the fourth house your attention shifts from your everyday casual surroundings to your immediate home life. The place where you go to feel the most comfortable is going to feel the most comfortable at this time. Especially important will be your parents and children. If there are other planets involved this can indicate when you or your partner becomes pregnant, especially if Venus is positioned here natally. This is one of the more emotional progressions for the Sun so don’t be surprised when you burst out and cry or go bitching to someone else about your problems. If you’ve buried something deep inside and really need to get it out you’re very likely to become a sobbing basket case. Be careful how much alcohol you consume or you may become a bumbling buffoon. If you have a significant alcohol problem this may be a time when your issues reach a boiling point and you decide to seek treatment. Other than the progression through your twelfth house, no other house has roots buried deeper in your unconscious. Possibly the eighth can compare but only if you have more planets there natally. The busy times of the last few weeks are ending and now you need to take a rest. You’re going to want to just stay at home and do a whole bunch of nothing. This is only acceptable if you can still tend to your social and professional obligations. Now is a time which you must feel loved and secure. If you are depressed and lonely this will be one of the most difficult months of the year. Establishing strong roots and emotional bonds will be important for you during these few weeks.
Sun in 5th house
The Sun is the ruler of the fifth house and is happiest in this domain. Over the next month or so you must be allowed to creatively express yourself in every way you choose. Your foremost goal is having as much fun, doing whatever you want. It’s going to be very difficult to remain focused on anything too serious. Now is a wonderful time for a long distance vacation or expensive get away. This is the house of amusement, recreation, and children, and despite all the positive energies here there will be problems. If you have unruly kids, chances are you and one of your children will have a serious blow up. This is because your ego drive will be heightened and you picked the fight. It will probably occur when the Sun makes an aspect to Mars. Remember that arguments can be very productive because it allows both parties to express negative feelings and opinions. This may also indicate that a child comes into your life right now. Be very careful of your spending under this transit. Don’t be too shy about speculation during this transit though. If you can be a reasonable gambler this transit can prove quite lucky. Although your desires for pleasure may cloud your perception and judgment and you lose everything you made. Remember it’s a good idea to take your casino winnings and pay your rent or car insurance with it. This is most definitely not a good time for large purchases in which you intend to profit from. You will find that you want to keep whatever you buy.
Sun in 6th house
The Sun entering your sixth house is entirely different from the one before. Now is the time to shift your focus from the playful self fulfilling endeavors produced by your fifth house transit, to the projects you’re involved with in serving others. How you function in all your relationships needs to be analyzed and sometimes this means ending the friendship with someone deemed useless. The ruling sign of Virgo is known for change and organization. Figure out how to do both right now. Again, CHANGE and ORGANIZE!!! Whether this transformation is physical or psychological is undetermined and sometimes this can indicate the flu or an actual injury. The condition of your sixth house will be an indicator of what will occur. If there are negative afflictions to planets positioned here then chances are your experience will not be pleasant. This doesn’t mean you’re going to break your arm every time the Sun progresses through this house. Along with change and organization your focus should be directed towards efficiency and effectiveness. Try to make every move and possession as productive as possible, getting directly to the point. Remember it can be the little intricacies that are the difference between good or poor. Your ego is less inclined to do battle unless significantly provoked. The sixth house is definitely a work related house, and it’s dedicated to someone else. It can also indicate when a loved one needs special attention or extra care. Now would be a great month to become involved in a charity or non-profit organization. This is the second of the Mercury ruled houses and his condition is more important than any. His retrograde motion won’t be pretty, and your car or computer will probably be the victim.
Sun in 7th house
Your seventh house is the beginning of your southern hemisphere. This section of your chart is your outwardly expression of who you are to the public. The personal relationships you have with others is the first area the Sun is influencing. Every area of your life is vulnerable because at this time of year you slowly learn more about yourself through your interaction with others. It can be professional, romantic, or plutonic but everyone is showing you a little more about your character and it’s up to you to pay attention and see. Unfortunately oblivious Venus is the ruling planet and self criticism isn’t her strong suit. It may hit you like an epiphany where you suddenly realize your fault. The Sun’s movement through this house connects you to others outside your immediate family. Pay attention and the public engagements you create this month because they become more lucrative and fruitful during the Sun’s tenth house progression. Relationships you have already formed will also be under intense scrutiny during this transit. One of the most important relationships we form is a marriage. If you are married these following few weeks will be a period of discovery and recognition. When you simply bury the issues you have with others then the negative energy doesn’t go away. Any suppressed emotions during this time will simply resurface themselves in about six months when the Sun is in your twelfth house and about to cross your ascendant. In no reason should you try to go things alone at this time. In business it would be a good time to consult an expert or specialist if you are in need. If your one on one encounter comes in the form of a conflict use it to grow and mature yourself. Chances are you played a role in it as well and just don’t want to admit it. If Venus is positioned here natally your romantic life will speed up as well.
Sun transiting 8th house
Unfortunately, the Sun’s progression through your eighth house can be one of the darkest and most depressing times of the year. This is the area of life dealing with death, destruction, and resurrection. Along with the fourth and twelfth the eighth house is one of psychological roots, and these roots are jealous and obsessive. The passions of ruling sign Scorpio are matched by none. Your intentions now are directed more toward what you own with other people. This is a vital period for married couples. You and your partner are going to see just how strong your relationship is and if it isn’t sound there’s a good chance it will fail. At this time the encounters you experience will leave a much more profound impact on your psyche. You may become obsessive about an issue, or you may become jealous over someone else’s possession. Loosen the grip on out dated behavior patterns and the rest of your life will start to flow smoothly. Similar to the opposing second house, this is a very materialistic part of your chart. If you are having marital issues now is the time you’re going to realize the personal differences. If by chance you’re successful in suppressing the negative emotions they will only get worse during the Sun’s progression through your twelfth house. If you are emotionally stable then this passing will not be nearly as upsetting as for those who are not. The eighth house is directly associated with death and regeneration. Only under extreme conditions will this transit suggest the actual death of someone, although it is possible.
Sun in 9th house
While the Sun is traveling through your ninth house you need to take every opportunity available to broaden your philosophical horizons. Whether it’s through study, travel, or just opening your mind to the surrounding environment this yearly phase is determined to expand your mind, and possibly change your life. You will learn much from foreigners, and others from significantly different backgrounds than yours. Everyone you encounter can teach you something about life. This is an opportune time to begin new hobbies or studies. It doesn’t necessarily matter if they are for practical reasons or simply for personal enjoyment. As long as you’re stimulating your mind and expanding your perceptions. Getting away from your daily routine and breaking the barriers of normalcy will be pertinent during this time. The only reason you will have to seclude yourself is for meditation and study. Even the most trivial of encounters can provide you with and insightful and enlightening experience. The Sun is preparing for its transit through your tenth house in which you are going to take what you have learned over the last month or so and start broadcasting it towards the public. For the few weeks the Sun is traveling through this part of your chart you are going to be shown realms of the universe you have never imagined. Even the little frog jumping across the street can give you a greater glimpse of the universe.
Sun in 10th house
During the tenth house progression the Sun is at the pinnacle of your ego’s expression. Meaning you want as much attention as possible. Your career and higher aspirations in life are at full throttle, and you desire as much of everything as you can get. The position you have developed within your community is brought into the forefront over the next few weeks. Use this time to develop relationships that can be useful in the future. This is not the strongest of personal houses for the Sun. This one will directly deal with your larger role in society. Your professional and business affairs will be brought into the limelight as well. This is a great time to get actively involved in community politics and projects. You may get asked to complete a project that someone else had started. Don’t accept any responsibilities without considering the duties required. If you act too hastily the project will end up lackluster and your reputation will be blemished. Remember that you don’t have to be the strongest and most competent to succeed. By knowing the limitation of your capabilities if you can remain within your skill set failure can be avoided. Difficulties experienced with others, especially business associates is directly related to your inability to budge and your unwillingness to cooperate.
Sun transiting 11th house
As the Sun continues to progress and crosses into your 11th house the pace of life quickens up with your friends and associates who are on the verge of being friends playing a more vital role. Now is the time when you expand and contract your social circle. When things get rocky during this transit it’s because there are times when ties need to be cut and emotional bonds might have to be broken. Remember that during an average thirty day span seven will be good, seven will be bad, and the rest will be rather blah. Some years this transit will indicate a few three or four day stints of chaos followed by a two or three week lull. Other years the whole month will seem to be out of hand with the Sun’s transit through the twelfth house intended to be your recovery period. For the most part, you’re growing as a person through the people you surround yourself with by choice. The acquaintances you made while in groups or independently are either discarded or considered for further development. If you have been cooperating well with others then this transit can prove very productive. When the Sun was transiting your 10th house education and work became very important and now is when you need to do something with whatever inspired you a month ago. If Venus is in good aspect during this time then personal friends become further connected and you feel much more comfortable around large groups of people. Mars and Saturn aspects will indicate the relationships with men and father figures while the Moon and Venus will indicate your feminine affiliations. Even if you’re a natural at social distancing you’re more compelled to get out and about. When you do, you realize you hate the world and why you shy away from society in the first place. Along with the ups, the downs of this transit may cause you to sever ties with friends which have grown unnecessary. Despite any effort to maintain relationships with the buddies you grew up with, sometimes you need to split ways and go separate paths. This is a great way to end childish habits which are restricting your growth. This doesn’t mean you have to ignore them entirely, but it might be the only way to do so. If you can remain polite the separation may go over smoothly. Remember it’s possible that you’re the friend with bad behaviors who needs to be cast aside by someone else. These few weeks are a time to get out and about, promoting yourself amongst your community. If you’re interested in politics or business this period is key in advancing your agenda. It’s certainly not the time to try and go it alone. Seclude yourself only for study and small periods of reflection and meditation. If you can find a group associated with your newly found interests then this is the time to run with it. You may just find that an old friend may have taken up the same liking and you rekindle your friendship. Be very cautious though, as the Sun progresses through your twelfth house life will become entirely different. Rough circumstances are setting you up for monumental changes even if it takes a couple months to develop.
Sun transiting 12th house
The Sun’s transit through your twelfth house is generally a period of seclusion and inner reflection. Part of the problem is that you had so much fun during the Sun’s eleventh house transit that the return to normalcy seems to be a period of depression. Your personal cycle is at the beginning of the end and this is very much like a caterpillar morphing into a butterfly. As you develop a psychic and spiritual cocoon you feel the problems of life are greater than they are and you feel an unidentifiable sadness that won’t go away. Remember that this is the house of unknown enemies and self undoing. Many times the issues you experience are created in your mind and manifested into being by your own dysfunctional handywork. Despite your best efforts adversaries will spring up from the bottom of the blue and everything will feel like it’s working against you. Deep sleep will produce vivid dreams which will be difficult to distinguish from reality. You’re psychically preparing for revolutions and revelations which will allow you to develop your inner spirit. Because you’re getting tuned into your subconscious mind you will need significant amounts of time alone. If you aren’t allowed to go off by yourself you will get extremely agitated and lash out inappropriately. When your actions are running counterproductive to your intentions now is the time you will recognize it. You might not admit it at first but the eye opener will eventually come around. The few weeks in which the Sun is transiting this section of your chart can be very confusing at times. Your physical energy levels are low and basic chores take much more out of you. Don’t be surprised when you restart the dryer or dishwasher simply because you don’t want to put anything away. Consider this like the resting period after running a marathon. Another difficulty is that you project unconscious signals that you don’t intend to send. You’re mouth ways one thing while your behavior says another. People you thought were friends turn against you and unexpected allies come to the rescue. Because this house is the house of our deepest and innermost habits the shit you hide in the closet might be coming out. Just because you don’t want what you’re getting doesn’t mean you don’t need it. Especially dangerous are the immature and childish habits that have been restricting your growth into adulthood. They began as natural responses you developed as a youth but have now long outgrown their use. A wise man once told me that your actions are determined by your dominant thoughts. Take your dilemmas as an opportunity to prune the metaphorical branches sprouting off of you. Remember that significant changes are going to be needed and won’t happen overnight. Despite your most passionate resistance, if nothing changes in your behavior patterns then nothing will change in your actual life. If you are involved with drugs and alcohol your habit can prove deadly at this time. Don’t submerge yourself with horrible vices even if you don’t have problems with contraband. If you suffer from anxiety, nervousness, or other mental disorders this is one of the most difficult months of your year. You may need to seek professional help or counseling at this time. Don’t be afraid to seek help if your troubles seem
