Also known as: Solar Star · 日
Sun Star (太陽) embodies the daytime celestial luminary — generosity, warmth, and outward energy. It governs the principle of yang in the chart and is associated with male relatives (especially the father), public reputation, fame, and any role that requires being visible to others.
When the Sun is bright (in palaces from 寅 to 午, the daytime hours), the native tends to be straightforward, charitable, and naturally trusted. When the Sun falls in dim positions (戌 to 丑), it suggests internal struggle, exhausted vitality, or strain in relationships with male figures.
The Sun pairs commonly with the Moon Star (太陰) — together they form the yang-yin luminary axis. Sun + Heavenly Beam (太陽·天梁), Sun + Big Dipper (太陽·巨門), and Sun + Right Support (太陽·右弼) are notable classical combinations.
