Sun signs through the Western zodiac, part 1

In Hermetic Astrology, the Sun represents the first thing a person tends to do in reaction to real-life variables. It empowers and flavors a person’s virtues and relationship with virtue (it may be helpful to note here that the Moon, often seen as the Sun’s counterpart because of their similar prominence in our sky, is involved with virtue blossoming in a complementary way, through a person’s natural empathy and desire for comfort and a happy society). The Sun is nice. Our solar system’s physical sun gives Earth essential raw material for elaborated matter in many ways, and does so predictably and consistently. People’s kindliness and personal decency is championed by their natal Sun in whatever position it’s found in, whatever aspects it forms. It also represents one side of someone’s creativity, that of initiation and of virtuosity.

In a birth chart, a person’s Sun is sometimes a dominant theme in how they relate to others. In other cases the Moon is more dominant. And these can be very balanced in an individual as well. Sometimes the actual birth time is an indicator of which type one tends toward, with people being born in the daytime often picking up more solar dominance, and people born at night often picking up more lunar dominance, etc. but there are numerous factors.

The Sun in the first six signs:
And everyone has all the signs up in the sky…

Aries: Sun in Aries is in its exaltation, meaning that it can potentially feel very free and extravagant in its expression while it occupies that sign. This makes a certain sense, as here on Earth the astrological Sun is experiencing a naturally exciting beginning of yet another spring in the Northern Hemisphere, where Western Astrology and its zodiac were mostly born. Mars is the exoteric ruler of Aries, and its esoteric ruler is Mercury. Solar Aries is known for having an honest, bold, straightforward nature, and quickly becomes practiced at taking the initiative in situations. They are not too afraid to learn from failures. They prefer to be friendly whenever it’s reasonably justifiable to be so, and cannot tolerate their own sour moods well. They must learn introspection, no matter what. Quirk: Aries wants to believe in God.

Taurus: The Sun is gaining confidence in Taurus season, carefully building toward its summer expression on Earth. The richness and fecundity of that time of year is suggestive of its exoteric ruler Venus. Vulcan, an extinct esoteric planet that was reputed to break up etheric nonsense (a task still covered by Mars, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, and Pluto, fortunately), has been suggested as the esoteric ruler of Taurus, but some people believe its esoteric ruler to be the asteroid Chiron, which spends a lot of extra time in Taurus due to having an irregular orbit. Solar Taurus quickly becomes practiced in sorting out what it likes and dislikes, and has a task in life to make sure its tastes stay tasteful. They have a natural affinity for what is appropriate, if they do not distort it in themselves. They have a particular interest in being genteel and experiencing general gentility. Quirk: Taurus hates being confused, but they’re often good at dealing with it.

Gemini: During Gemini season, the sun is climbing to its summer height, the Summer Solstice. On Earth (Northern Hemisphere), much is blooming and moving during this time of year. Outdoor paradises have erupted. Gemini is a natural child of paradise, perhaps. Mercury, named after a young prodigy god, is its exoteric ruler, and its esoteric ruler is Venus. Gemini likes to do everything, in the sense of being busy. Gemini loves to talk. Gemini loves encouragement, and often gets fairly good over time at taking things as encouragement. Quirk: Gemini overthinks the Gemini twin motif.

Cancer: Cancer is the season that starts just at the apex of the physical sun’s ascent. Perhaps this is why Cancer is so prone to reminisce, having the vague idea that the big buildup is what happened in the past. It’s just a year, guys. The Moon rules Cancer exoterically, while its esoteric ruler is an advanced Neptune. Cancer season (Northern Hemisphere) tends to be uniformly fine and pleasant. Solar Cancers do well when they notice the ways that their lives are fine and pleasant for them, and keep in mind that any additional angst is often a choice. Cancer loves to affect people emotionally, but feels things have gone terribly wrong when they notice themselves having a negative effect. They must mature emotionally to make sure they have a firm grasp of cause and effect in the human world. Quirk: Cancer always cares who’s in a leadership position. They want leaders to be good and competent, and don’t like the idea of people having to work around a leadership deficit.

Leo: We feel the heat of the sun most in Leo season. The Sun is comfortable, ruling Leo both exoterically and esoterically. Solar Leo wants to notice what it’s doing. They often feel like noticing what they are doing will help them notice themselves better. They do understand that the world should not revolve around them as it does our solar cynosure, but that they must work to mature while meanwhile the sun marks time for us. Leo wants to feel normal, in a lot of ways, but sometimes panics and insists on people making them feel special instead. It doesn’t work. Leo prefers for things to be aboveboard. Quirk: Most Leos started liking astrology because they found out they were Leos.

Virgo: In Virgo, the solar year is building toward an equinox, and the weather is gracious and galvanizing. Virgo’s exoteric ruler is Mercury, and its esoteric ruler is the Moon. Solar Virgo has a tendency to set goals to become things, rather than setting goals to do things, which is known to convolute things sometimes. They usually understand that they still have to do things, though. They can be deep, and that goes well, but being shallow might become a bad and insidious habit. Sometimes Virgo focuses so much on looks that they forget about the concept of overall attractiveness. Yes, people will buy something just because it’s pretty, but people are people. Virgos tend to be better at organizing than prioritizing, so they must take care to think about the big picture often, and on purpose. They want to relax the relaxation of the just. They fear losing themselves and becoming one of the world’s problems. Quirk: Sometimes Virgo wishes the Virgo symbol was something symmetrical.

Body mysteries

In late 2020 I noticed the beginning of what seemed to be swelling or possibly weight gain (weirdly less likely, which I’ll cover). I was definitely thin until December of that year. I’d gained some muscle during that time, and was overall eating rather sparsely (sensitive stomach). At around that time, I’d been having strange medical episodes that had a lot of features in common with dying. My organs would go cold, for instance, or an organ would feel especially light inside my body somehow.

In late 2020 and early 2021 I realize that there were signs that I had extra air accumulating in my body, under the skin. My thyroid numbers appeared normal when this started happening. By March of 2021 I was looking quite large, up from being a noticeably small-bodied person two or three months before.

When my neck started looking larger than it ever had before (very strange for me, as I generally do not gain much weight in my neck) with my body seemingly bloated but not very much bigger yet, I started thinking it was very unlikely I was dealing with normal weight gain. It was very rapid, and each enlargement coincided with the episodes that seemed to have strange things in common with dying (these having started after a violent attack). I’d been quite lean when the episodes started happening, and I was having trouble off and on keeping up with eating.

Now it’s early 2022. I am still very bloated and swollen to a much larger size than I’m used to. I weigh less than I look. There is strange distortion in some of the lines my body makes. It’s been going down slowly, but there’s a weird pattern where I bloat up and then go down noticeably while staying about the same size. It’s easiest to see the change in my face, perhaps. It is fair to wonder whether I’ve gained extra fat, yes, but I definitely don’t think I ate so much in the span of six months or so (I was probably at my biggest point six months in) that I’d end up twice my size or more in such a short time (which is what I looked like at my most swollen), and certainly not during the two months when I went from normal to unrealistically larger and odd looking.

There are telltale signs that I might have actually lost both some muscle and some of what fat I had on me in the last year, and am much, much leaner than I appear: I can easily feel the sharp edge of my radius bone in my arm through the swelling, and my shoulder feels delicate inside a swollen shell. My fingers have those bony bumps that very thin people sometimes get above their knuckles; they look a little like mosquito bites, and they indicate low overall body fat. So do the tendons visible just under a thin layer of skin on both my thumb knuckles.

Extreme amounts of air sometimes issue from my pores, and I can feel the air rushing out in a stream. At many times it’s whooshed out my eyes and ears, poured from my palms, etc. I do look strange and uncanny this way. I persist in thinking this is temporary.

It’s okay if I think I’m pretty either way, right?

My Moonchild confirmation

In an astral ceremony today, I received confirmation of my being accepted as the official Moonchild (per an organization that has long been interested in one appearing), in a communication from [redacted] and [redacted]. Around 80 people were patched into the ceremony.

My name is Carolyn Dalton. I am the third daughter of a third daughter and a third son.

Mind games

As World Shaman, I had an astral meeting/ceremony with over 800 people today. The oversoul of cheetah was present. The oversoul of bat was present. The oversoul of flowers was present. The oversoul of rain was present. The oversoul of apple tree was present.

It was a meeting about mind games, and how they need to stop. We also discussed in-production mind games in entertainment in particular, and how they don’t seem to help anyone with the artistic process, and how they’re hurting people and hurting people’s habits. There was some spiritual healing and the Earth expects spiritual progress.

We all agreed unanimously that the mind games have to stop.

Temperaments

The four temperaments are based on theories connected with an old medical system of theoretics called humorism. Observations about the four temperaments ended up having more credibility than medical humorism, was the general consensus after a certain point. They developed over time as a personality system based on symbolic elemental correspondences more than on medical theory, with melancholic being associated with earth, choleric being associated with fire, phlegmatic being associated with water, and sanguine being associated with air.

Theoretically, temperaments are most analogous to the Ascendant point (cusp of the first house) in astrology. They are seldom of the same element as the Ascendant sign.

In observing a person, there are many things you can notice about them. Character is very important. That’s whether they are honorable and decent enough. Conduct is very important. That’s what they do and cause to be done. Disposition is important. That’s how pleasant or unpleasant they generally are to encounter. Temperament is more innate, indicating certain tendencies toward certain moods and patterns, which in turn can feed into a person’s disposition.

Then there are looks, of course. Looks are important for some of the jobs. They might help a person with mate selection, but that might actually be more of an unsubstantiated rumor in most of the population. Then, like four hundred other things one might notice.

The four temperaments are a relatively safe and useful way to talk about human diversity. All four temperaments have their tendencies and can complement a person’s natural and developed strengths and interests in ways that end up making them themselves, in a sense.

Melancholic is the most sentimental temperament. They have a tendency to sensationalize things and complicate other things. They want to have high ideals, and enjoy living by them. This is not necessarily such a melancholy personality, and they don’t necessarily experience extra sadness. Rather, melancholic temperaments often think how much they want people to know that they have feelings. They should avoid getting emotionally grabby with other people and losing track of admirable ideals of conduct.

Choleric temperament is at their happiest if they can become a highly effective tour de force, with the chops to back that up. They must learn to handle frustration graciously. Graciousness is foundational to their concept as an effective personality. Bullying people tends to confuse them because deep down they understand that they should very much be doing something more worthwhile and worthy.

Phlegmatic temperament carries a noticeable sense of calm, and if they cannot muster calm at times, then of balance. They want things to work well. They can leave things behind in life, but tend not to like to if those things work well and seem like they’re likely to keep working well. Everyone enjoys the feeling of being really reasonable, but phlegmatic temperaments are more likely to notice that they are enjoying it.

Sanguine temperament is almost assured of being more cheerful than people generally are on average if they can manage to be dynamic in positive ways. They tend toward having a keen interest in things going forward in beneficial ways, so much so that they are often highly skilled at refusing to sweat the small stuff. Every group is better off if it contains at least one sanguine personality.

Now, this next part comes from fairy legends. It’s said that many fairies are highly educated and practiced in reducing human beings to their temperament categories. Goodness knows why. They have a fifth temperament that they recognize. It’s called fang.

Fang indicates the temperament of a bad person, as in an evil person. If someone is disposed toward being too mean and destructive, they are said to be fang. Those who are fang are none of the other temperaments so long as they remain fang.

Social Contract

There is something called a social contract. When you’re born into a society that’s a civilization with adequate governance, you are immediately awarded with your society’s social contract. Each person has a set of responsibilities to uphold to be part of the society, while at the same time being automatically assured that they will have available to them the features of a society to live in that is tolerable. When that breaks, chaos begins to break things up, and they usually end up coalescing into a somewhat different society with a different government that must offer a sufficient social contract to stave off being broken up by chaos.
