Sun in Sagittarius in the First House

Ruled by Jupiter, planet of fortune, with your Sun in Sagittarius you appear to breeze through life. You are Lady Luck’s companion who seems always to be in the right place at the right time. In work, friendships, career, and money – a door opens just when you need it. Naturally, this makes for a cheerful and ebullient disposition. You have your dark moments, but clouds roll over quickly. You are too interested in what is going to happen tomorrow to fret long about what went wrong today. You are always sure that around the next bend of the road something wonderful is about to happen.

Having your Sun in Sagittarius, you are hard to pin down emotionally. You don’t want to get bogged down in messy entanglements or anything that ties you down. You’ve got places to go and you’re not about to sign up for anything that keeps you in one spot. The way to stay unfettered is to shy away from emotion. Individuals with their Sun in Sagittarius rarely talk about their feelings – they talk about what they think about their feelings. Time and again Sagittarians are bewildered when their romantic partners ask for more passion and feeling. Because you keep one eye on the exit door and don’t welcome enduring, profound relationships, sooner or later, you’ll unknot the tie that binds.

With your Sun in Sagittarius, you are kind, openhearted, jovial, completely free of malice, you are always doing favors for others. Your way of helping doesn’t put the recipient under heavy obligation. “No strings” is a guiding Sagittarian motto. Freedom is your most valuable possession. If it comes to a choice you’ll take a difficult path, accept less money, dispense with security, do anything as long as you have to answer only to yourself. Your passion for liberty underlies all your other qualities. Prizing it as you do, you also willingly grant it to others. You don’t meddle in other people’s plans or interfere with what they think best for themselves, and you aren’t possessive or jealous.

For the Sun in Sagittarius individual, to be restricted or feel your choices are diminished is very depressing for you. You tend not to look at life as it is but as you want it to be. In many ways, you rebel against being a grownup. Certainly, you know how to take on responsibility and you’ve proven yourself strong in the face of setback. Crisis brings out the best in you. You have grand and wonderful ideas for an adventurous career or carving out a utopian life or helping the world become a better place. Then you procrastinate, let others deal with the details, lose interest in a plan – and wonder why you’re stuck in the same place.

The Inner You with your Sun in Sagittarius

With your Sun in Sagittarius, your motto is, “Tomorrow is another day.” Even in your darkest moods, you believe there’s a light shining around the corner. Your confidence in the future is genuine, but you hate anything interfering with your plans. You have a hunger to experience life to its fullest—to travel, meet interesting people, and see things you’ve never seen before. As an individual with your Sun in Sagittarius, anything new sparks your interest. In fact, you’ll usually say yes to a suggestion without weighing its merits simply because it lifts your spirits. And while you’re not exactly a moody person, you are high-strung and can become irritable when you start to get bored. You may think no one cares about you or understands you when you’re feeling this way, but luckily your belief that you’re someone special always sees you through.

The sign position of the Sun indicates how we seek to express ourselves, develop ourselves, fulfill ourselves, and assert our will and power to shape our environment. The house position indicates the area of life in which we choose to focus the energy of our Sun sign and fulfill the purpose which it represents.

Sun in the 1st House

The Sun in the 1st House is a strong placement for the Sun, indicating considerable focus on your self-identity. Both the Sun and the 1st House are associated with identity— who you feel you are. Normally, this placement suggests that you have a strong personality, unless the Sun has difficult aspects or is in a weak sign. Confidence, self-esteem and self-identity are likely to be issues that concern you but—unless there are indications in your chart to the contrary—you will generally deal with these issues positively. With the Sun in the 1st House, you may be given lessons, especially in early life, that challenge your self-confidence or provoke an identity crisis. Meeting these challenges is likely to result in you developing a stronger personality.

Insecurities

With your Sun in the 1st House you are vulnerable to two extremes if your psyche is unbalanced. At one extreme, you may have an overabundance of ego or self-interest resulting in you being too concerned with yourself. If this energy is introverted, you will be self-absorbed. If the energy is extroverted, you may manifest your personality too much. At the other extreme, you may suffer from a severe lack of self-esteem. In this case, it is the identity and the ego which are problematic for you. As an individual with your Sun in the 1st House, you do not know how to express your personality and identity in a healthy manner. The resulting personality is dysfunctional. Alternatively, working out this problem may become a life-goal. If this is the case, a more complete self will be the result.

Focus of Your Self-Identity

Having your Sun in the 1st House denotes a strong focus on self-identity. A central question, faced consciously or unconsciously by you is, Who am I? Throughout your life, you are likely to deal with issues involving the place of self, the meaning of identity and the development of persona. Depending on the aspects to the Sun in your chart, the overall composition of the chart, your stage of consciousness and your “inherited” tendencies, these issues may be dealt with in a confident manner or from an insecure or questioning place.
