HOROSCOPE

The Sun is the ruling planet of your sign, but because you were born in the first Decan, or part, of the sign, you receive twice the Sun’s planetary influence. The Sun’s power manifests in individuality, ego and creativity, which explains why these traits are so heavily tied to your personality. You often find that you hate to rely on others, instead preferring to handle things yourself. You use your outgoing personality to disguise any insecurities you may possess, which is a social skill you take great pride in. Your inherent pride is one of your greatest assets, but it can become detrimental if you allow it to evolve into arrogance.
