Written by Jacqueline Brook   

SaturnThe Sun is the symbol of God and is also the core of who we are; the ego in the true sense of the word. He is one of the two luminaries and is the Lord of Light. He travels approximately 0deg59 per month. He rules the fourth house of  fathers, our ancestry and paternal lineage, and he rules the eleventh house of friends and “pennies from heaven”.
