Sun In The Houses: Your Ego & How You Identify Yourself



Sun in the 1st: You often find yourself wondering “Who am I?”. Your sense of self-identity is very very important to you, and if you don’t feel that you have a good idea of who you are, where you belong, and what you’re worth, you’ll feel lost and hopeless. You have the ability to be confident without being arrogant. If you’re undeveloped, you may have an over-developed ego, and an abrasive personality. On the opposite end, you may have low self-esteem, identity crises, insecurity, feeling worthless or powerless.

Sun in the 2nd: You identify yourself by the things you value and the things you HAVE. This can mean attaching your identity to your possessions and money, but it doesn’t have to! If you value happiness, honesty and loyalty, you’ll identify yourself as those things. You DO have the ability to identify yourself by more important things than wealth. Tying your identity to materials often leads to feeling like you never have enough, no matter how much you gain, and taking a financial/material loss as a blow to your ego.

Sun in the 3rd: You identify yourself by your ability to learn, communicate, and work effectively in your environment. You’re always looking for things to learn about, and share that information via writing, teaching, etc. You NEED a proper outlet to let your thoughts out. Your need to communicate can help you form easy connections with people. If this placement is unbalanced, you may believe that your ideas are the ONLY right ones so you reject others’ ideas, or you may hold back your own ideas out of fear of being criticized.

Sun in the 4th: You identify and express yourself through whatever things, places, or people make you feel safe and protected from harm to your ego. This usually ends up being certain people or your home, so you are very tightly bound to your home & whoever you call family. It’s easy for you to lock yourself up at home, and cling to the support that the people there give you instead of getting yourself out there. You have to learn to be yourself without relying on your home safety net and find security in yourself instead.

Sun in the 5th: You find your identity in your creations. You feel your best expressing yourself without anything restricting you from throwing your entire self into your creative outlets. This can range from art, performances, hobbies, and your children (if you have them). If overdeveloped, you may become cocky, prideful, and boastful when it comes to your creations. On the other hand, you may be insecure in your own creativity, so you seek recognition of your talents from others, and you crash when you’re not acknowledged.

Sun in the 6th: You find your identity in your work and the service you can provide. You make it a big personal goal to continuously improve yourself and your quality of work, and you feel most fulfilled when you’re using your abilities to somehow make things better. You might not be totally secure in your abilities, so you overextend and tire yourself out striving for perfection. On the other hand, you might be so confident in your abilities that you believe you’re superior and the ONLY one who can get things done.

Sun in the 7th: You identify yourself by the company you keep. You have a strong attachment to the relationships you have with people, whether it’s friends or partner(s), or even acquaintances. You feel most fulfilled when you’re around people and forming connections. You can be very cooperative and inclusive when you’re at your best. When at your not-so best, you have trouble separating your identity from your relationships. You may lose your sense of individuality & become a copy of the people you know, admire, and love.

Sun in 8th: You pride yourself on your great capacity for depth, & awareness of things that go beyond surface level. You feel most fulfilled when you’ve gained a sense of control, & understanding of things that are deeper than the mundane, superficial things we deal with every day. You have the potential to understand the hidden parts of yourself and others. You may obsess over the idea of completely losing yourself in an intimate relationship, or you may overuse your ego to control and have power over others.

Sun in the 9th: You identify yourself by the things you’ve experienced and the things you understand. You feel most yourself when you’re doing things that expand your horizons, things like traveling, learning about cultures, religions, justice, structures of societies, etc. Your drive to explore things outside of your personal life can give you a lot of insight and flexibility. You may deal with feeling insecure and insignificant in the bigger picture, or an overdeveloped ego may reject beliefs that challenge your own beliefs.

Sun in the 10th: You identify yourself by your achievements and goals you’ve accomplished. You  feel good when you’ve reached a goal, a certain level or status, or done a good job, and you probably don’t feel that great when you haven’t met your own or others’ expectations. Your drive and productivity can take a dip if your ego is bruised or self-esteem is low. You may ONLY feel good about yourself if you’re successful in something, which can mean that you constantly push and overwork yourself, never satisfied with your success.

Sun in the 11th: You identify yourself by the communities or social groups you belong to. You feel fulfilled when you’re involved in some sort of project, organization, or social movement that you can make a difference in and feel like you’re serving a purpose to better society. You want to belong to a community and use your ideas to make big changes. But you might end up letting the group absorb your entire identity and losing yourself, or you may be uncooperative and take all of the credit for group work so you can feed your ego.

Sun in the 12th: Your identity doesn’t come easily to you. You often find yourself reflecting, thinking things over to try and figure it out. You may see yourself as one tiny piece in the enormous puzzle of life, and you feel like you’re wandering without a solid sense of yourself. On the bright side, it’s not likely for you to be prideful! You have the ability to serve a greater purpose without your ego getting in the way. It is very important for you to get a sense of your identity instead of withdrawing and never asserting yourself.
