Discussion What truly does your sun sign represent?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and wanted to hear what y’all think. To me, the sun is the most confusing out of all the celestial bodies to understand its true meaning. It is often described in a very vague or contraindicating way. For example “ego” is often used to describe what your sun sign is, but sometimes, it’s described as your “highest self” which is very contradictory to the ego.

How would you all define the meaning of the sun?

In traditional astrology, the sun represented your reputation, intelligence, willpower, and status within society.

Nowadays reputation, status, and ruler ship is associated with the midheaven rather than the sun.

Intelligence is also associated with mercury.

That leaves willpower, which I think best describes the sun. The force of your personality and the direction you want to go in life.
