What is a Sun Sign?

In simple terms, a Sun sign is where in the zodiac the Sun was located at the time of your birth.

Routinely a Sun sign is also called a star sign because the Sun is a star. Several classify the Sun as a planet because it rotates just like the other celestial bodies in the universe. But many forget that just like the earth, all of the planets, comets, asteroids, etc. are constantly moving—even we are in orbit at this very moment. The Sun’s potent presence is powerful, and it has the ability to infuse energy simultaneously in all directions. When the Sun is in a particular zodiac, certain aspects of our lives are enhanced so that we can function with purpose on our earth journey.

Sun Sign and Zodiac Sign Are Different

Both the Sun sign and zodiac sign are mutually important, but it is beneficial to know that they are very much different. Many people confuse a Sun sign as being the same as a zodiac sign because the zodiac is a general place to where the Sun was when you were born.

It takes the Sun about 25 plus days to rotate completely. The time frame of when the equator and when the north and south poles rotate are different by just a few days. There are many who are born on the same or just about the same date and time, but in a different region and/or year.

This is precisely what causes one to have a different Sun sign and zodiac sign.

To get an accurate assessment of your Sun sign, you must know the exact time and location of your birth. This is what’s key to the accuracy of your personal astrological predictions. I am sure you can look online and enter this information to find what exactly your personal Sun sign is. If you decide not to and just want a general outlook, then you can always use your zodiac sign since it can also give you accurate insight about your life.

If for some reason you are unable to find your personal Sun sign, don’t worry. Take a different approach and consider building a relationship with the Sun. The Sun within itself has many beneficial qualities that is said to include curing depression, fortifying your immune system, cleansing the blood and blood vessels, and much more. You have the ability to connect to this star. Set your intention and let it guide you.
