Essential Dignities

☉︎Dignities of the Sun

Rules Leo · exalted in Aries · detriment Aquarius · fall Libra

The Sun's places of strength and weakness — at home in Leo, exalted in Aries, in detriment in Aquarius, in fall in Libra.

The Sun is most itself in Leo and honored in Aries, where identity and will can shine without apology; in Aquarius and Libra its light bends toward the group or the other, and it has to work harder to stay centered. None of this dims your core — it only tells you where self-expression comes freely and where it asks for conscious tending.
