The Sun

According to Marcus Manilius (1st century AD) in his epic (8000 verses) poem Astronomica, the Sun is benign and favourable, and presides over the head. It is usually thought to represent the conscious ego, the self, and the principles of creativity, spontaneousness, health and vitality - the life force. The Sun is the planetary ruler of Leo. In Chinese astrology, it represents Yang.
