Sun in Sagittarius: The Sun, as Nous, represents the power of enlightenment,

especially here. It represents those who want to experience as much of life as

possible first hand and as a result of this it is indicative of those who love
travel and foreign cultures. The question of the meaning or purpose of life is one
that holds great interest for them. Because Jupiter rules the Sun in this sign, it
also tends to create a jovial and optimistic attitude in these natives. Temperance
and perspective are important issues and if neglected there is also a tendency for
these individuals to overdo it, become reckless or extravagant. They are sometimes
accused of a lack of sensitivity or consideration for other's feelings. This is
because feelings and emotions are represented by the Moon, whose zoidion is in
aversion (can't see) to Sagittarius. From their perspective, the broadness of their
views and perspectives makes it difficult for them to keep all of the different
social customs straight. Under negative aspects there may be a tendency to think
they know it all, creating an arrogant streak.

In a diurnal chart, the Sun is essentially dignified by being in its own trigon.
This means the Sun determines whether the standards set by the bound lord of the
Sun are being adhered to. Because the Sun is translucent, this may indicate greater
clarity of understanding and hence fairness in the character of the native unless
there are afflictions. In the case of affliction there is a greater propensity for
arrogance and lack of sympathy and understanding. The excess heat of the day
rarifies, creating in the native an air of nobility. There is a greater degree of
extroversion. The truth when they seek it is more easily grasped and the native
feels less doubt about their own capabilities or what path they should follow in
life.

In a nocturnal chart, the cool and moist of night go against the hot nature of the
Sun. This has the effect of tempering the propensity for arrogance and overdoing it
to some degree. By definition the Sun is also below the horizon, therefore
indicating a more introverted disposition. These natives are sympathetic and tend
to be more family oriented than their diurnal counterparts. Because Jupiter is the
trigon lord (as well as the house lord) of the Sun by night, they tend to be
fortunate in matters of love, romance and children.
