katsuki bakugo is my intrusive thoughts incarnate and I’m not sure what that says about me

[oceanherbalist]

You ever watch a show and the basicness of a character makes you so angry that you want to be something great? Like maybe I should become more fit and learn more science? Maybe I should become an expert in something that could save a life lol

But I’m an Aries! Why am I not Assertive?

Ah, the Sun in Aries. Bold. Fiery. Leaping to the rescue with brazen courage. Well, at least that’s the stereotype going around the internet. While it is true that Sun in Aries people often exhibit leadership qualities because of Aries natural ability to blaze a new path, assertiveness and aggression are traits that have more to do with Mars, the ruling planet of Aries, and the first house, the ruling house of Aries.

The Sun is one of two astrological “lights” and unlike the other inner bodies (Mercury, Mars, Venus, Ceres*) the Sun is something we do passively, not actively. In fact, many people don’t identify with their Sun sign because the Sun has become a stereotype machine so mutated from its original form that nobody would recognize it. The Sun in Aries is about taking a direction as far as you want it to go. As a Sun in Aries, you are going to feel the most energized when you’re doing your own thing. This can translate to being assertive, but the Aries Sun energy will only come out when the house it’s in is activated or a planet it’s aspected by is activated.

For example, somebody’s fiery Aries Sun energy may not manifest with their friends (like an 11th house Sun) because it manifests when they’re at home (4th House Sun). As a Sun in Aries, you WILL be able to feel it’s energy in one of the twelve houses below, but it may not be like the stereotype. It is also very possible, and this is covered below the house list, that your sun has a harsh aspect to it.

1st House Aries Sun: The Sun in Aries in the first house answers to nobody. It leads itself and is perfectly ok, sometimes to both the delight and chagrin of others, with how it is. It does not need anyone to tell it who it is because it already knows and is on its way in that direction. The solar energy is felt in when Aries is just being itself.

2nd House Aries Sun: You know what to do with the stuff you’ve got. Or maybe you don’t. But you don’t care because you’re going to do it anyways, right? Aries second housers tend to feel that Aries Sun tend to use their forward energy to get what it is that they want, in their own way of course, whether that be money or something else they physically need. Sometimes they may knock others out of the way, but hey, that’s what a prize is for, isn’t it? Being won?

3rd House Aries Sun: Almost impossible to ignore, Aries Sun is often oblivious to how easily it is seen. Unafraid to approach somebody without anything in mind to say, Aries Sun in the third is always the first to let you know if they do or don’t want to talk to you. They also tend to express quite obviously how something makes them feel even if they don’t say anything.

4th House Aries Sun: Happy to be from wherever they’re from, Aries Sun is not shy about its pride its home. In the fourth house, Aries Sun is happiest being an example of its upbringing but isn’t afraid to add its own flavor to what it means to be from your home town/culture/city/family.

5th House Aries Sun: Life is a party, or at least when it is, that’s when it’s worth living, right? So maybe it’s not a party all the time, but the good times just goofing off with the squad is what really brings out the liveliness in Sun in Aries when it’s in the fifth house.

6th House Aries Sun: Taking life as it comes is the name of the game. If it has an issue, it can handle it. If it can’t, whatever, it’ll try later if it’s a problem later too. Aries Sun is happiest when everything can be handled quickly and it doesn’t have to wait because it already knows what has to be done and how to do it.

7th House Aries Sun: Sometimes, this placement may feel like the only time it’s ever itself is when somebody else is around showing it who it isn’t. As a result, seventh house Aries sun tends to be happiest when it has something to proclaim that it is very against or very for.

8th House Aries Sun: Fearless, but also often unnoticed unlike many other Aries placement, this Sun tends to come out in the dark. When others are scared, eighth house Aries Sun lights up and dispels the darkness. Sometimes this can also translate as not feeling the subtleties of fear, but hey, at least there’s no monster in the closet with Aries Sun in the eighth around, right?

9th House Aries Sun: On a journey with no destination, that’s the way this placement feels freest. Likely to be constantly on the move (or at least wishing it was) it’s very hard to pin down what this Sun placement wants because it’s always looking forward to something new. They may feel lost, but that feeling doesn’t last long because they’re off on their next journey so quickly.

10th House Aries Sun: This placement wants to be a leader by doing something really difficult that often requires a lot of sheer will to accomplish. It makes its mark by doing something nobody else has done so, therefore, there is nothing to compare it to because it’s the only one of its kind. Sometimes they may not understand why what they’ve done is either big or not big because they have no point of reference.

11th House Aries Sun: This person will tend to be the pack leader by default. People often find this placement charming but they can’t quite figure out why and eleventh house Aries Sun often develops a following simply for doing whatever it does.

12th House Aries Sun: This placement tends to feel most at home being lost. It feels like it’s going somewhere when it’s going nowhere and needs very little to be happy. Often times, it doesn’t even recognize that it’s happy or sad because it can’t describe or see a reason why it would be.

Ok, so maybe that nailed your Sun and maybe it didn’t, the House a Sun is in isn’t the only factor to how it manifests. Those interpretations are true for people who have an easy time manifesting their Sun with easy blue (trines, sextiles, conjunctions) or a neutral time with neutral green aspects (semi-sextiles, quincuxes) but people who have harder time with hard red aspects (squares, semi-squares, oppositions) might feel a little left out.  If you have a hard aspect to your Sun, it might feel a little more like these descriptions below:

Cancer Planet Square Sun in Aries: With Cancer’s equally ferocious but much more emotional energy, a planet in Cancer can stifle Aries’ “I’m gonna go my own way” vibe with a bit of *gasp* feeling. Caring is not something that helps light up Aries Sun’s solar energy, so it may feel like it has to compete between what it wants for itself and caring about (or needing to care about) its tribe.

Libra Planet Oppose Sun in Aries: With Libra’s equally insistent but other oriented energy, a planet in Libra can really put a damper on Aries “me, myself, and I” attitude towards its house. Selfishness may have a negative connotation, but Aries Sun does its best when it ignores what other people think or do. Libra planets, however, rely on what other people say and do and *groan* want to please and partake in that.

Capricorn Planet Square Sun in Aries: With Capricorn’s tediously patient energy, Aries’ immediacy can feel very frustrated by an equally strong desire (or circumstance) that necessitates *shudder* patience.  Aries’ traditionally bold energy will likely be far less explosive until the coast is clear from the perspective of a Capricorn planet.

 So far we’ve been focusing on the Sun in Aries how it really is, but why did the stereotypes develop the way they did? That has mostly to do with borrowing characteristics from Mars, the ruling planet of Aries. The placement of our Mars shows us how we get angry and what is likely to make us angry. While the Sun does have to do to a degree with self-assertion, the stereotype of the aggressive “Aries” is more fitting for people who have very fiery Mars placements (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), very active Mars placements (1st house, easy aspect to the Sun and or Jupiter), very engaging Mars placements (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) or very loud Mars aspects (3rd house, easy aspect to Mercury and or Uranus).
