The Direction Your Sun Should Take in Life: The 12 Zodiac Signs
Now,
this is where we get to the main point.
Once you know which sign your Sun is in,
take a look at the table below.
☉ The Direction Your Sun Should Take in Life: The 12 Zodiac Signs
Sun | ① The Sun-like way of life you should step into | ② A life where you lose sight of your Sun by focusing too much on appearance | ③ What kind of life can you create by using your Sun? |
♈ Aries | Instead of following behind someone else, take the lead and start something new. The moment you think, “This is what I want to do,” take the first step according to your own will. | You become obsessed with creating a version of yourself that won't fail because you are constantly worried about how you are perceived and evaluated. Your life becomes about being acknowledged by others, until you no longer know what you actually want to start. | You become someone who can begin your own life without waiting for permission from others. You step onto paths no one has walked before and carve out your own life by saying, “I will do it.” |
♉ Taurus | Trust your own senses and take the time to cultivate what is truly valuable to you. Instead of following other people's standards, cherish what you genuinely feel is worth having. | You keep collecting things that appear valuable—luxury goods, brands, beauty, income, and so on. But you lose sight of what you actually value, leaving you unsatisfied no matter how much you acquire. | You establish your own values and take the time to build something solid. You stop being controlled by trends and other people's opinions and become someone who can say, “This is what I value.” |
♊ Gemini | Follow your curiosity. Learn, think, put your thoughts into words, and expand your world by connecting people and information. Never stop asking, “I want to know more.” | You try to create an image of yourself as intelligent or knowledgeable because you want to look smart or appear intelligent on social media. You gather information, but eventually lose your own voice. | You freely move between knowledge and information and communicate with the world in your own words. You connect people with people and information with information, becoming someone who brings others into worlds they never knew existed. |
♋ Cancer | Find the people and places you genuinely want to cherish, pour your love into them, and create a safe place with your own hands. | You become obsessed with appearing loved or having a happy family, trying to create a picture-perfect romance or family life for social media. Instead of seeking a place where you truly feel safe, you seek a place that others will envy. | You become someone who can protect and nurture the people and places that truly matter to you. You create a world where you can genuinely say, “This is where I belong.” |
♌ Leo | Express yourself boldly and become the protagonist of your own life by proudly saying, “This is what I want to do.” Pursue forms of expression that you can be proud of, rather than worrying about how others see you. | You become obsessed with being seen as beautiful, receiving attention, and being admired. The moment the applause stops, you feel as though there is nothing left of you. | You openly affirm your own existence and bring what you create into the world. Rather than seeking approval, you become someone who proudly expresses your life by saying, “This is who I am.” |
♍ Virgo | Develop your abilities, carefully refine the details, and put what you can do to practical use in the real world. Pursue the question, “How can I make this better?” | You can no longer stop looking for flaws in your skin, body, face, clothes, and so on. You keep pursuing a perfect appearance and constantly try to “fix” yourself because you always feel that you are not enough. | You develop your abilities and use them for other people and society. Instead of cultivating a version of yourself that merely looks perfect, you develop yourself into someone who can actually create value. |
♎ Libra | Refine your relationships and your sense of beauty, creating harmony where both you and the other person can feel comfortable. Express your aesthetic sense within society. | You constantly change yourself according to other people's opinions because you want to be seen as beautiful and liked by everyone. You prioritize not being disliked and eventually lose sight of what you truly want. | You balance your own sense of beauty with your relationships with others and become someone who can create beautiful balance between people. You become more than simply popular—you become a source of harmony around you. |
♏ Scorpio | Dive deeply into one subject and pursue the essence beneath the surface. Do not give up easily, and deeply engage with what you have chosen. | You try to prove your worth from the outside because you want to be loved or seen as someone special. Instead of pursuing what you truly want, you become obsessed with being recognized by others as “special.” | You devote yourself completely to what you have chosen and pursue its essence throughout your life. Rather than settling for superficial success, you gain something so deep that you can say, “This was truly my life.” |
♐ Sagittarius | Leave your familiar world behind and venture into the unknown. Learn, travel, expand your philosophy, and follow the urge to know more as you continually expand your world. | You perform an image of freedom because you want to be seen as a free person or look cool for traveling abroad. You end up narrowing your own world for the sake of appearance and approval. | You continually expand your world and transform what you discover in the unknown into your own philosophy of life. You live as an adventurer who continues exploring because you know there is always another world you have yet to discover. |
♑ Capricorn | Take responsibility for yourself within society and spend time building solid achievements and a position of your own. Aim for long-term results rather than immediate recognition. | You become focused on collecting titles and external status because you want to be seen as successful, wealthy, or connected to high-status people. | You build social achievements through your own strength and leave behind something you can say, “I accomplished this.” You use time to your advantage and become someone capable of carrying great responsibility. |
♒ Aquarius | Instead of simply following convention, question it: “Is this really the right way?” Establish your own unique way of thinking and living rather than fitting into existing frameworks. | You escape into a “unique-looking” appearance because you want to be seen as individualistic or different from everyone else. In the end, you are still concerned with how others perceive you. | You turn ideas no one else has thought of into reality and bring new possibilities into existing conventions. You stop fearing being different and carve out a future that belongs only to you. |
♓ Pisces | Trust your sensitivity, imagination, and empathy. Sense what cannot be understood through visible reality alone, and express what you perceive. | You become intoxicated by an idealized image of yourself because you want to appear kind, lovable, or ideal. You keep escaping from the gap between your ideal self and your actual self. | You connect with people and the world beyond boundaries and create something through your sensitivity and imagination. You bring your own inner world into reality and leave behind something that reaches the hearts of others. |
How does it feel?
Can you now see the
“direction of your life”
indicated by your Sun?
What matters here is that you don't think,
“My Sun is in ○○, so this is simply my personality!”
Instead, think:
“This is the direction I should take my life!”
It isn't something you simply already have.
It is something you develop and bring into reality from this point forward.
Live by Saying, “This Is My Central Axis”
The most important thing when working with your Sun is:
No matter what anyone says, stay true to this central axis.
Of course,
I'm not saying you should never listen to other people's opinions.
But even if people around you say,
“That's not the right way to live.”
“That's not how normal people do things.”
“What are you even going to gain from doing that?”
you should never simply abandon the direction indicated by your Sun.
Because
this is the axis of your own life,
and one of the greatest keys to experiencing a fulfilling life and a sense of accomplishment.
Live your own life, by your own will.
The Sun exists as the central axis that allows you to do exactly that.
This is
how you work with your Sun.
And this is
the first step toward happiness.
Why You Couldn't Become Happy Even After Getting the Appearance You Wanted
Now,
let's return to what we have discussed in the previous articles.
You worked incredibly hard
and obtained the beautiful appearance you wanted.
You had plastic surgery
and got the face you had always wanted.
You dressed beautifully
and began receiving compliments from everyone around you.
You became popular.
And yet,
for some reason,
you still aren't happy.
Why?
Because
you were simply so focused on your appearance that you never took this first step.
That means:
Move in the direction indicated by your Sun.
Say,
“This is how I am going to live,”
and begin living your own life.
That is the first step.
No matter how beautifully you perfect your outer appearance,
if you are not living your own life,
somewhere inside you may still feel:
“That's not really what I was looking for…”
That is why,
once you have obtained the appearance you wanted,
I want you to go beyond it.
Use your own Sun,
and live your own life.
The 12 Zodiac Signs Alone Still Cannot Reveal the “Real You”
However,
what we have done this time
is only the first step.
We have looked at
the Sun only through the lens of the 12 zodiac signs.
Even this can show you a general sense of
“Which direction should I take my life?”
But
a birth chart
is not that simple.
Simply knowing which sign your Sun is in
cannot completely reveal
your personal central axis in life.
To go deeper,
we also need to add information from
the Sabian Symbol
and
the House.
By combining these,
we can move beyond a simple
“12 zodiac signs and their life lessons”
and dig deeper into
the solid, personal axis of your own life.
To Claim the Life That Belongs Only to You
If you want to understand yourself
more accurately,
more deeply,
and
claim the life that belongs only to you,
then in the next article,
we will add
the Sabian Symbol and House
to your Sun
and uncover the central axis of your life that is unique to you.
