Sun: general information
The Sun has multiple roles in esoteric astrology, as:
- the conduit for for the universal Ray 2 in general, which is the origin of the seven sub-rays embodied by the planets in our solar system
- one of the “big three” of any horoscope: Ascendant, Sun, Moon
- with the Moon, one of the two “veiling planets” in esoteric astrology

Esoteric: Leo ⇧
The Sun veils one of 3 planets: in this case either Neptune or Uranus, but Vulcan is also possible, especially if Virgo or Taurus are also strong, of there’s a prominent Ray 1 emphasis.
Hierarchical: Leo ⇧
The Sun veils one of 3 planets: here it will likely be Uranus if the area of development is predominantly Cardinal or in a chart that favours odd-numbered Rays, or possibly Neptune in a chart that has a Fixed Cross emphasis, or predominantly even-numbered Rays.
Sun decanates
In conventional astrology, decanates simply follow the rulerships of each elemental triad, but the information in Esoteric Astrology is inconsistent. For more information, see notes about the decanates, and the “decans” tab under each sign.
