The Sun

The Planet Sun in Astrology Meaning

The Sun is considered the first planet in Astrology, and is therefore connected to the number one in numerology. Being the center and connector of all things in the solar system, it also has ties to the number fourteen. It is associated with the Zodiac sign Aries and the element of fire, and therefore also with the minor arcana suit of Wands. Like the birthstone Ruby, it is full of heat and power.
