All about your sun sign

Originally referred to as your Star Sign, your Sun Sign represents the Sign of the Zodiac that the Sun was in at the time of your birth. The Sun rules willpower and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual; who you are and what you are about.

Your Sun Sign represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take, and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It represents your personal honesty and integrity, your ability to command respect and authority, and your capacity to impress and influence others.

The beginning and end dates for each of the signs can vary from year to year. If you were born on a cusp, we suggest you take a look at our cusp page for greater information.
