The Sun has been revered across cultures and spiritual traditions as a powerful symbol of life, divine wisdom, and cosmic order. It represents illumination, vitality, and the eternal cycle of death and rebirth. As the center of our solar system, the Sun is often associated with divine consciousness, personal power, and the radiant energy that fuels all existence.
In many traditions the Sun is seen as masculine (corresponding with the Moon as female). Gods associated with the sun include the Egyptian god Ra-creator the Universe and ruler of the sky, the Greek/Roman god Apollo-bringer of truth and enlightenment, the Hindu god Surya-life-giver, and the Incan god Inti-the giver of warmth, light, and prosperity. In some traditions the Sun is represented by a goddess such as Söl in Norse mythology.
The Sun is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra, which governs our confidence and willpower. It pulses with divine energy that fuels life itself, representing personal power, courage, and self-realization. The Sun governs the zodiac sign Leo, said to give those born under its influence qualities such as courage and leadership skills.
