What it does well
Thinks for itself and cares about fairness at a scale beyond its own circle.

☉ Sun in Aquarius
Sun in Aquarius means the sun stood in Aquarius at the moment you were born. Sun meets aquarius: core identity — what you are at the centre. It moves through a sign in about 30.3 days, which is short enough for the placement to be personal.

Sun governs core identity — what you are at the centre. In Aquarius, that function takes on independence, principle and distance from the herd — a Fixed Air expression ruled by Uranus (traditionally Saturn).
Where it strains
Intellectualises feeling, and mistakes emotional distance for objectivity.
Reading a placement properly
Sun in Aquarius describes a function in a style. It says nothing yet about where that plays out — for that you need the house, and the house needs a birth time. A placement read without its house is half a sentence.
