- Sun Wukong Deities · deities
Sun Wukong is the stone-born monkey of Wu Cheng'en's sixteenth-century novel Xiyou ji (Journey to the West), built on earlier Tang and Song storytelling and on older monkey and water-demon figures. He learns immortality, takes the Ruyi Jingu Bang from the Dragon King, erases his name from the registers of death, is pinned under the Five Elements Mountain by the Buddha after wrecking heaven, and becomes the Victorious Fighting Buddha at the end of the pilgrimage. The novel is fiction, but the cult of Qitian Dasheng, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, is a real and living one in Fujian, Taiwan and Chinese communities across Southeast Asia.
matched: the, sun - Amaterasu Deities · deities
Amaterasu is the Japanese sun goddess, ancestress of the imperial line, who withdraws into a cave when her brother ravages her weaving hall and is drawn out by music and a mirror. She is the light that can be lost by offence and returned by laughter.
matched: the, sun - Aten Deities · deities
Aten is the sun disk, and under Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV, c. 1353-1336 BCE) it became the sole object of royal worship - the first sustained monotheism in the Egyptian record. The Great Hymn to the Aten praises the disk as the source of all life, seen in its rays. After Akhenaten's death the cult was dismantled, the capital at Amarna abandoned, and his name erased from monuments.
matched: the, sun - Budha-Aditya Yoga Jyotisha · jyotish
Mercury never travels far from the Sun, so this combination occurs in roughly a third of all charts, and its strength turns almost entirely on how far Mercury stands from the Sun. It is the standard combination for a scholar, an administrator or a writer.
matched: the, sun - Asta Jyotisha · jyotish
A graha within a fixed number of degrees of the Sun is asta, combust: it does not rise heliacally, its light is lost in the Sun's, and its significations are read as burnt. The orbs BPHS gives are the Moon 12 degrees, Mars 17, Mercury 14 direct and 12 retrograde, Jupiter 11, Venus 10 direct and 8 retrograde, and Saturn 16.
matched: the, sun - Helios Deities · deities
Helios drives the chariot of the sun across the sky and sees everything that happens beneath it, which is why oaths are sworn before him. He is the witness of the day rather than its ruler: in Greek telling the sun is his work, not his throne.
matched: the, sun - Khepri Deities · deities
Khepri is the rising sun, the scarab-faced god who pushes the morning disk up out of the underworld as the beetle rolls its ball of dung. He is one of the three forms of the sun - Khepri at dawn, Ra at noon, Atum at evening - and the name means 'he who comes into being'; in the Amduat he takes the helm of the solar barque in the twelfth hour. The scarab amulet, including the heart scarab buried with the dead, carries his image and his promise of renewal.
matched: the, sun - Kuafu Deities · deities
Kuafu is the giant of the Shanhaijing who chased the sun from the east to the west, drinking the Yellow River and the Wei River and then the Great Sea to cool his thirst. He died on the way, and his staff became the Deng Forest, a grove of peach trees. The story is usually read as a parable of futile ambition, but the peach forest makes it also a story about what the pursuit leaves behind.
matched: the, sun - Nitya Yoga Jyotisha · jyotish
The nitya yoga is the fourth limb of the panchanga: add the longitudes of the Sun and the Moon, divide by thirteen degrees twenty minutes, and the quotient names one of twenty-seven yogas running from Vishkambha and Priti through Vyatipata and Vaidhriti. It is a property of the day, not of a person's chart, and it is one of the five things an electional judgement reads.
matched: the, sun - Parivesha Jyotisha · jyotish
Parivesha is the third of the Sun-derived upagrahas: add 180 degrees to Vyatipata and the result is Parivesha, the halo round the sun. It is malefic and is read as the affliction of the bhava it falls in, the classical texts calling it extremely inauspicious.
matched: the, sun - Shamash Deities · deities
Shamash is the Mesopotamian sun god who rises through the doors of heaven and judges, holding the saw of justice and the scales, and who gives the laws to Hammurabi. He sees everything and his light is a court.
matched: the, sun - Sol Deities · deities
Sol is the Roman sun, an old Italian god of the daylight who was later fused with the Greek Helios and then raised by the emperors into Sol Invictus, the Unconquered Sun whose birthday fell at the winter solstice. The separate feast of Sol Invictus is its own form here.
matched: the, sun - Sol Invictus Deities · deities
Sol Invictus is the Unconquered Sun of the later empire, promoted by Aurelian and made the companion of the emperor, with a festival on 25 December that outlived the cult itself. He is the sun as public guarantee: the light that does not lose, adopted by whoever holds power.
matched: the, sun - Surya Deities · deities
Surya is the Hindu sun, who rides a chariot of seven horses and whose worship is the daily greeting of the dawn. He is the physical sun and its witness: health, sight and the record of a day.
matched: the, sun - Upaketu Jyotisha · jyotish
Upaketu is the fifth of the Sun-derived upagrahas: add 16 degrees 40 minutes to Indrachapa and the result is Upaketu, the flag - and adding one more sign to Upaketu returns the Sun's own longitude, which closes the chain. It is malefic and afflicts the bhava it occupies.
matched: the, sun - Utu Deities · deities
Utu is the Sumerian sun god, the Akkadian Shamash, the son of Nanna and Ningal and the brother of Inanna, who comes out of the eastern mountain, crosses the sky seeing everything and goes down into the underworld at night. His temples were the Ebabbar at Larsa and at Sippar, and he is the god of justice, of the traveller and of divination, the patron of the baru priests who read the signs. In the Gilgamesh epic he helps Gilgamesh and Enkidu against Humbaba and hears Gilgamesh's lament afterwards, and the Sumerian hymns call him the judge of the land.
matched: the, sun - Vairocana Deities · deities
Vairocana, the Great Sun, is the Buddha of the centre in the five-Buddha mandala and the figure the esoteric schools take as the dharmakaya itself — the body of the teaching rather than a person in a heaven. He is the central deity of two foundational tantras, the Mahavairocana-abhisambodhi tantra and the Sarvatathagatatattvasamgraha (Vajrasekhara), and so of the Shingon and Tendai traditions in Japan, where the great bronze at Todai-ji in Nara is him. In the Avatamsaka (Huayan) sutra he is the cosmic Buddha whose body is the whole of reality, a vision that shaped Chinese Huayan and Japanese Kegon. The Tibetan schools give the place of a single primordial Buddha to Samantabhadra (Nyingma) or Vajradhara (Gelug) instead, which is a difference of scheme rather than a denial of Vairocana.

Success, vitality and clear daylight; the strongest favourable card in the deck.
matched: the, sun - Sun Planets · planets

matched: the, sun - The Divine Child Archetypes · archetypes

matched: the, sun - The Dagda Deities · deities
The Dagda is the Irish father of the gods, owner of the club that kills and revives, the cauldron that never empties, and the oak harp that orders the seasons. He is mocked in the stories and indispensable in them: the king who is also the host, the provider and the buffoon.
matched: the, sun - Freya the Warrior Deities · deities
Freya the Warrior is Freyja in her battle aspect, who takes half the slain for Folkvangr and who taught seidr to the gods. She is kept as her own form because the magic and the war are read as a different working from the goddess of love and gold; this is a modern devotional aspect-form, not an attested separate goddess or ancient cult.
matched: the, sun - The Hero Archetypes · archetypes
The Hero is an archetype of courage, journey and transformation. Its light aspect is courage, determination and self sacrifice, and its shadow is hubris, recklessness and savior complex.
matched: the, sun - Hour of the Moon Planetary hours · planetary_hours
The Hour of the Moon is one of the planetary hours, in the Hellenistic tradition. It is used for intuition, dreams and psychic work. Avoid it for solar work, visibility and aggressive action.

- Aine Deities · deities
Aine is the Irish goddess of the midsummer sun and of Knockainey hill, who is pursued by a mortal king and takes her revenge, and who is also the queen of the local sidhe. She is sovereignty in its double form: given, taken, and answered.
matched: the, sun - Ashtottari Dasha Jyotisha · jyotish
Ashtottari gives a hundred and eight years to eight grahas - the Sun 6, the Moon 15, Mars 8, Mercury 17, Saturn 10, Jupiter 19, Rahu 12 and Venus 21 - and excludes Ketu, who is given no lordship in this system at all. It is not a variant of Vimshottari to be chosen at will: the classical condition for its use is stated by BPHS, and where the condition does not hold the tradition keeps Vimshottari.
matched: the, sun - Atum Deities · deities
Atum is the Heliopolitan creator, the first god, who emerged self-made on the benben mound out of the waters of Nun. He produced Shu and Tefnut - sneezed or spat out in the Pyramid Texts, masturbated in other accounts - and so began the Ennead. He is the evening sun, the 'Complete One' who receives the dead king and returns to the waters at the end of the cycle, and in the Book of the Dead he rises from chaos in serpent form.
matched: the, sun - Chalchiuhtlicue Deities · deities
Chalchiuhtlicue is the Aztec goddess of rivers, seas and birth, who presides over the day-sign and trecena of water and ended the fourth sun in a flood; she is the patroness of childbirth and of those who die in childbirth, though the steam bath (temazcal) belongs to Temazcalteci and Tlazolteotl rather than to her. She is water as the giver of life and the end of the world at once.
matched: the, sun - Chandra Deities · deities
Chandra is the Vedic moon, the cup of soma and the lord of plants, whose waxing and waning is a story of the gods drinking him down and the sun restoring him. He rules the mind and the night and the growing of everything green.
matched: the, sun - Changing Woman Deities · deities
Asdzaa Nadlehee, Changing Woman, is the central female sacred being of the Dine (Navajo) emergence tradition: raised by First Man and First Woman, mother of the Hero Twins by the Sun, she becomes young and old with the seasons. The four-day Kinaalda puberty ceremony is modelled on her first change, and she is the mother of the people. The narrative is given in the Dine bahane' (see Paul Zolbrod's 1984 translation) and in the ceremonial literature. She is a sacred being, not a goddess.
matched: the, sun - Hora Jyotisha · jyotish
D2 divides each sign into two horas of fifteen degrees. In the Parashari scheme the two horas are the Sun's (Leo) and the Moon's (Cancer): the first half of an odd sign is the Sun's hora and of an even sign the Moon's, and the planet's varga sign is Leo or Cancer accordingly. Wealth is read from which of the two it falls in, the solar hora being self-earned and the lunar hora inherited or given.
matched: the, sun - Daedalus Deities · deities
Daedalus is the Athenian craftsman, son of Metion, who killed his nephew Perdix - the boy who had invented the saw - and fled to Crete, where he built the labyrinth, the dancing-floor that Homer names at Knossos (Iliad 18.590-592), and the wooden cow for Pasiphae. He made wings of feathers and wax for himself and Icarus, and Icarus flew too near the sun (Ovid, Metamorphoses VIII.183-235; Apollodorus, Epitome 1). Pausanias, who counts two surviving works of Daedalus in Boeotia and is sceptical about the rest, is the ancient reader who takes the attributions with a grain of salt (9.40.3-4).
matched: the, sun - Dazhbog Deities · deities
Dazhbog is a solar god and one of the six idols Vladimir erected in Kiev in 980 according to the Primary Chronicle, and one of the very few Slavic gods whose worship is attested across the Slavic lands. The Primary Chronicle's 1114 entry, following the Slavonic translation of John Malalas, makes him the son of Svarog and says he was called the Sun, and The Tale of Igor's Campaign calls the Rus 'Dazhbog's descendants'. Whether he was the sun itself, a giver of wealth, or a culture hero is disputed, because no narrative of him survives.
matched: the, sun - Erlang Shen Deities · deities
Erlang Shen is the three-eyed martial god of Guanjiangkou in Sichuan, nephew of the Jade Emperor and son of a mortal and a goddess. He is a god of water and of the engineers who control it, associated with Li Bing's Dujiangyan works and with the theatre; his dog, the Xiaotianquan, bites through disguise. In the Journey to the West he fights Sun Wukong to a standstill, matching the monkey's seventy-two transformations with his own and seeing through them with the third eye.
