Symbolism

The Sun in our astrological lives represents our ego and life force

Just as the physical sun represents the greatest life-sustaining force, so, in astrology, the sun personifies our life force, the main ego focus of our lives and how we accomplish what we set out to do. It describes basic drives, behaviour patterns and the kind of activities we prefer.

The moon in our astrological lives reveals our emotions and instincts

Science acknowledges the physical effects of the moon on our planet earth, particularly on water. In astrology, the Moon represents emotional needs: how we feel about ourselves and our sensitivity to situations and experiences.
