Transit Sun in the First House #

When the transiting Sun moves through your first house, you enter your solar power month—the weeks following your birthday. This is the most personal and powerful time of your annual cycle, when identity, vitality, and self-expression are at their peak.

Timing #

Duration: Approximately one month
Occurrence: Once per year, starting at your Solar Return (birthday)

Core Meaning #

The first house is your house of self—the Ascendant, your rising sign, your personal presence. When the Sun transits here, you are literally illuminated. Your sense of self is strongest, your vitality peaks, and you have the most direct access to expressing who you truly are.
