Collection: Sun

The Sun is the great sustainer.

Mythology & Tradition

It is the center around which all else turns. The source of light, warmth, and the animating force that makes life on Earth possible.

The ancient Egyptians called it Ra, the solar barque crossing the sky each day and descending into the underworld each night. Only to rise again, eternal, unconquerable.

The Greeks knew it as Helios, driving his golden chariot across the heavens, and later as Apollo, god of light, reason, music, and prophecy.

In Vedic tradition, Surya rides seven horses representing the seven colors of light, the seven chakras, the seven days of the week, the Sun as the organizing principle of all visible reality.

Astrology

In astrology, the Sun is not merely a planet but the self: the core identity, the conscious will, the radiant expression of who we are becoming. It rules Leo and is exalted in Aries, the signs of creative fire and sovereign will.

Tarot

The Sun (XIX) for the full, radiant outpouring of conscious light. The self in its most joyful, unguarded, and luminous expression.

Rachel Pollack, in Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom (1980), describes The Sun as the card of liberation. The moment the soul steps out of the unconscious and into the full light of awareness.

The Chariot (VII) for solar will directed with purpose. The force of identity moving forward with confidence and command.

Stones of the Sun carry its warmth in their bodies.

They are golden, amber, citrine, and clear, stones that hold light, amplify it, and return it to the world. They are stones of confidence, vitality, leadership, and creative fire.

To work with a Sun stone is to remember your own radiance.

These stones carry the light of the Sun, for vitality, confidence, and the full, luminous expression of self.
