The Sun: your fuel

Since most people know their sun sign, we will begin with the sun.

The sun is what fuels all life on our planet. It is what energizes. Creates. Sustains. Too little results in poor or no growth. Too much can create a drought. The same is true of people: when we know what fuels us, we can make choices that lead to a creative and productive life.

In astrology, the sun is the story of the hero within. It is also the essence of your inner hero. Your inner hero might be practical grounded and material (earth), focus on feelings and connections (water), think and talk and plan a lot (air) or be creative and passionate (fire). Each of our inner heroes have talents and challenges.

The gifts and challenges are unique. Your astrological chart gives you a skeleton. Through the choices you make, you give this skeleton a unique body, persona and create relationships with others. You breathe life into a unique and ever changing being.

Not only is your Sun in a particular element (fire, air, water, earth) and sign (virgo, leo, scorpio etc) it is in a particular house. The houses give us hints as to the area in our lives where we might use this energy most effectively. There are twelve main areas. Examples include your body, your home, your roots/ancestors, relationships, career.

Your Sun also has specific relationships with other inner characters. Your inner hero might be in a harmonious relationship with your inner teacher but may be in a very challenging dance with your inner critic. 'Know[ing] thyself' and making conscious choices to make the most of who you are is one of the benefits of using an astrology lens.

At various times your inner hero faces challenges or is given a boost in some way. Again knowing the terrain of what your inner hero is likely to face in a given time period can help equip you to make more considered choices.

What do you know about your inner hero? What is unique about your story?

Makemake discovered: Abundance mirror?

MakeMake, pronounced MAH-keh MAH-keh, is named after the Polynesian creator of humanity and the god of fertility.

Originally designated 2005 FY9, the object was nicknamed "Easterbunny".

While astronomer Brown was doing research about Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island, in the South Pacific for prospective names, he learned of the creator and fertility god, Makemake.

Coincidentally at the time Brown’s wife was also pregnant.

"I am partial to fertility gods," Brown said, "I have the distinct memory of feeling this fertile abundance pouring out of the entire Universe. Makemake was part of that. Makemake was ‘discovered’ in 2005. It is one of three plutoids: Pluto and Eris being the other two. (from space.com)

These bodies are found beyond Neptune (17x size of earth) in the Kuiper Belt.

Haipule weaves an astrological possibility- mirror for us earthlings?

When did you first begin noticing a lot of talk around going beyond our imagination (Neptune) and manifesting our creative impulses (Makemake)?

From our imagination make, make, your dreams come true.

Many astrologers postulate that as our consciousness expands so the mirrors in astrology expand, and we come to see more bodies out there that reflect this expansion of consciousness.

The Secret came to Rhonda Byrne at the end of 2004 and in 2005 they created what was launched as a video on the internet in 2006. Just a coincidence that at the same time Makemake is discovered?
