The long-form reference for Sun is being written.
The skeleton above is the reference: archetype, dignity table, rhythm, and keywords. Deeper sections — Sunthrough each sign, through each house, in aspect, in retrograde, and the common misreadings — are hand-written, not generated. They layer in as they’re finished.
In the meantime — your chart doesn’t wait. Run your birth chart and see where Sun lives in your sky.
