The following interpretations will apply for Sun in the first house (H1) of the astrological chart, based on the “whole-sign” (WS) or “equal-house”(EH) systems, more so if Sun is in H1 for both WS and EH. 

These interpretations will be altered by Sun’s overall condition, sign placement, conjoining planets and aspects. Some of these effects may be noted (to a lesser degree and with more altered meanings) when Sun tightly aspects the ascendant or first house traditional lord (especially conjunct), or when the ascendant or its lord are in Leo (Sun ruled).

• One’s core energetic and spiritual qualities seek a more direct expression in the physical. One’s inner self is more visibly manifested through one’s physical self, often in a boastful, unapologetic, ostentatious way.
