The Sun

According to Arthur Dione in Jungian Birthcharts: " The Sun is the principle regulating centre of the chart and a vessel for the archetype that Jung calls 'the self' which must precede all other symbols. The self is the 'X' factor on the chart because it cannot be reduced to a single element in astrology; the self is the lifetime of the whole chart, the manifestation of the planetary energies as they appear through meaningful events in one life. It is then, a nucleus, a germ of something not laready born whose meaning is seen before, during and after the event. It is all at once its potential, manifest energy and by product becuae they are all part of the same thing just as the Sun is related to the rest of the chart. The self is the creative unfloding of a chart that is tied to fate: therefore it is significant in the life of the individual, it is the path that is 'chosen'.
