“The situtation of the Sun in the birthchart often relates to the individual’s experience of the father- not necessarily the actual father, but all the people who played that role. Often the mother will actually play the father role, in which case it is that relationship which will be symbolized by the Sun. A key concept is that the Sun represents the experience of being fathered, not the objective truth about one’s father.In fact, the relationship with all authority figures will be shown by the sun.”
