Sun- Mar.21- Apr.19
Bold and assertive, rushing in where others fear to tread. Ruling planet: Mars
These are the characteristics of the Sun in Aries. If you were born with a Sun in Aries, you were meant to make a completely fresh start in this incarnation. In your last incarnation, you may have mastered a lesson that you do not need to work on any longer. Therefore you were born with a fresh start, with that leader like quality. This does not mean you don't have other karma to balance. But you are basically on a fresh start and have new lessons to achieve. The danger is, since Arians intuitively know they achieved a lot in their prior life, they may abuse their leadership skills and assertiveness.

If you have the Sun in Taurus you will carry those traits. You also have a connection to nature. In a prior life you understood and appreciated the basics of survival and security which is food, shelter and clothing. Your mission is to teach others to appreciate what they have.

It is quite possible that if you have a Leo Sun, you will have gotten into trouble with immature use of power in a prior life. In this life, your job is to use your power correctly.

Your lesson is to help create a new future for society, one example being helping make the government provide accessibility to the disabled community.

You intuitively realize that, and therefore you tend to get caught up in the past and have a difficult time living in “the now.” Your life is associated with unfinished business. However they are known to be compassionate. They are known to be irrational because they intuitively know they have a lot of unfinished business from their prior lives that is weighing them down in their current incarnations. The danger with those with this sign is that they are likely to get completely lost in touch with reality.
