Now that we've talked a little about the Houses, we can start understanding the planets that are in the Houses.
In any astrology chart, there are themes that repeat. The more important or stronger the theme, the more often you will find it repeated in the chart.
There are groups of astrological factors that all mean pretty much the same thing. We will study them all together, to make them easier to remember. This is also how the themes repeat, because there are several things that mean the same thing (almost).
The first group we will look at is the Sun, Leo, and the Fifth House. These three all mean similar things.
The Sun "rules" the Fifth House. When we say that something is "ruled by" something else, we are just saying that the energy of it is in that thing in a greater proportion than anything else.
So, we could also say that Leo "rules" the Fifth House. Or that the Sun "rules" Leo.
I asked you to make a notebook or index cards. Now we are really going to start working with your notebook pages and start adding to them. For this Lesson, I'll do a lot of the pages for you. But, after this lesson, we will talk about each thing, so you can add to your pages the things we discuss so you can use it as a reference later on.
The First page, below, is about the Sun. I like to work in keywords, or concepts. If you can collect the keywords, it will be very useful when you begin to do Horary charts, or other kinds of charts, because you will know what places and things are "ruled by" the planets, houses, and sun signs. The list below are all things that are ruled by the Sun. They are also things that "mean" The Sun.
According to wikipedia.org,
The sun is considered a very important part of astrology. It, as well as the Moon, are the most important of the astrological planets. In Roman mythology the sun was represented by Apollo, the god of light and Helios the god of the sun. The Sun is the star at the centre of our solar system, around which the Earth and other planets revolve, and which provides us with heat and light.
Astrologically the sun is usually thought to represent the conscious ego, the self and its expression, personal power, pride and authority; leadership qualities; and the principles of creativity, spontaneity, health and vitality; the life force. The sun also involves creative enterprises that are a projection of the person, from art and business to having children and parenthood (especially fatherhood). It also rules the fun side of life from sport and recreation to holidays and social events. In short, any occasion that 'allows us to shine'. The first-century poet Marcus Manilius in his epic, 8000-verse poem, Astronomica, described the Sun, or Sol, as benign and favorable. In medicine the sun is associated with the heart, circulatory system and the thymus. The sun is the ruler of the 5th house. The Sun is the planetary ruler of the zodiac sign Leo.
The Sun is associated with Sunday. Dante Alighieri associated the Sun with the liberal art of geometry.
