The sun is the supreme symbol of consciousness, vitality, and life force. A bright sun represents clarity, optimism, and success. A rising sun symbolizes new beginnings, while a setting sun represents completion and the transition to rest. An eclipse suggests temporary blockage of vitality or consciousness. In Jungian analysis, the sun represents the conscious ego and the illuminating power of awareness.
