hat you see is what you get. I am who I say I am. Full-frontal. Out in the open ― like it or not. No place to hide. No rest for the wicked. The Sun Also Rises. 24 hours of daylight. Breaking dawn. Daybreak. The night is past. It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day. Tomorrow is another day. Wake up. Waking up is hard to do. Full presence. Lighting up the room. Baby, baby light my way. Flashlight. Self-propelled. Guiding light.
Tendency to get offended when people doubt or question you. No protective covering. People see you. You make an entrance. No veil. Your day in the sun. Shining bright. Here I am! No hide and seek. Here Comes the Sun. Oh no, here comes so and so. Front and center. I can see clearly now. Bright outlook. Radiant perspective. Life’s a stage. Embodying a role. The actor on stage. Burnout. An artist. A performer. Taking life by the reins. Rising star.
You may get real tired watching me, but I’m not going to quit.
― Harrison Ford
Outrageous. Outlandish. More of the same. Overwhelming. Overbearing. Scorching everyone in sight. Burned out retinas. I need sunglasses. Ow, my eyes! You’re too much! Get down with your bad self. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. People better find out what it means to you! Pride before the fall. Ready or not, here you come. You can’t hide from your mistakes. You can’t hide from embarrassment. You hate to be embarrassed. You don’t want to show your face, but you have to. You like to bask in admiration. You attract a crowd of admirers. People like to sidle up to your warm glow. You outshine everyone around you – for better or worse. Remember to let others have their day in the sun too.
You look just like Dad. Daddy’s twin. Living a life under your father’s influence. Dad leads the way. Dad shows you your path. You follow in your father’s footsteps. Looking for a father figure. In search of a positive male influence. Personal renewable energy. You’re awake! You call others to action. You lead by example. You walk your talk. Your authority is unquestionable. People can’t question who you are. You have the precedence. You have the authority. You have the jurisdiction. You have the autonomy. Your Sun shines bright. You are born into prominence. Don’t let yourself live in another’s shadow.
Sun / Ascendant aspects
1st Harmonic (The Fusion Point — Identity Meets Identity): The merging of two emotional systems; a catalytic blending of instincts, wounds, and memory.
The aspect: 1st harmonic, 1/1. This aspect comes from taking the 360 degrees of a circle and dividing by 1, then multiply by 1.
Like this, 360 / 1 = 360 x 1 = 360
Basic influence: Intensity and emphasis; focus/focal point; impact. Lack of awareness. Concentration of energy. Fusion. The coming together of unrelated energy. When there are no oppositions, there is a lack of balance in the chart. Skewed viewpoint. Lop-sided emphasis. One-sidedness.

(The Heart of the Sun — Sacred Fusion & Exact Illumination) Cazimi is the moment a planet sits in the very heart of the Sun — drawn into the solar core but not scorched. This is the condition of exactness, purity, and radiant amplification. The planet’s symbolism becomes laser‑focused, clarified, and empowered. The expression that might normally be overwhelmed by the solar force becomes temporarily fused, illuminated from within, and granted a kind of mythic precision. This is the moment when the planet speaks with the Sun’s voice.
The aspect: A planet within 0°17′ of the Sun. This condition comes from the medieval idea that a planet “in the heart of the Sun” is strengthened rather than weakened.
(The Burning Path — Overexposure, Purification & Loss of Autonomy) Combustion occurs when a planet is swallowed by the Sun’s light — overwhelmed, overexposed, and stripped of its independent expression. The planet’s symbolism becomes fused with the Sun’s will, often creating emotional intensity, urgency, or invisibility. This is the condition of purification through fire: the planet is active, but its ability to act is compromised. What the planet represents must pass through the Sun’s furnace before it can emerge renewed.
The aspect: A planet within 8°30′ of the Sun. This condition comes from traditional astrology, where proximity to the Sun indicates symbolic “burning” or loss of visibility.
(The Fading Signal — Weakening, Withdrawal & Hidden Processes) A planet under the sun's beams is dimmed, muted, or operating behind the scenes. Its expression becomes subtle, internalized, or obscured. This is the condition of working in the shadows — the planet is still active, but its influence is harder to see or articulate. It often indicates processes that unfold privately, unconsciously, or in preparation for later emergence.
The aspect: A planet within 17° of the Sun. This condition comes from the idea that a planet too close to the Sun becomes invisible to the naked eye, symbolizing diminished outward expression.
20th Harmonic (The Fine Thread — Micro‑Adjustments & Subtle Emotional Weaving): The 20th harmonic operates like a tiny tuning fork inside the emotional system — subtle, precise, and easily overlooked unless you’re listening closely. It reveals the micro‑shifts, delicate recalibrations, and almost imperceptible emotional adjustments that help integrate larger wounds or patterns. This is the harmonic of emotional finesse, where healing happens through nuance, sensitivity, and the smallest possible shift in awareness.

What all your hard work and preparation are for. The next big thing. Natural direction.
What you might be blind to. Something just over your shoulder, out of sight, and beyond the periphery of your vision. A blind spot. The thing that came immediately before and is already nearly forgotten. Efforts at memory. Reclaiming. People who don’t have your best interests at heart. Better work on some yoga moves to look over your shoulder, and behind your back.
10th Harmonic (The Subtle Craft — Precision, Calibration & Emotional Technique): Fine‑tuned emotional adjustments, micro‑skills, and delicate recalibrations; healing through nuance, timing, and the smallest possible shift in awareness.
