Sun in Bharani ~ Give birth to a new identity

The Sun, the symbol of the soul and self-expression, is in Bharani, the nakshatra in the zodiacal sign of Aries, from April 27th to May 11th, 2025.

Bharani represents ambition and the original struggle for life, whose name means ‘She Who Bears’, and its symbol, a Yoni, is associated with giving birth – both as in bearing children and also making plans and creative ideas. Despite its fierce and fiery quality, the Sun in Bharani possesses a maternal quality, with a gift for homemaking and hospitality, and you may be doing extra duty as a parent or taking a supportive role at your workplace.

The Sun at its maximum power in Aries plays to your strengths through impulse and confidence, even though you should make sure your ambition comes from a positive place. Bharani’s ruling deity, Yama, Lord of Death, shows you creating something (or someone) new, but also leaving old and outworn plans and energy behind. The Shakti of this asterism, ‘The Power to Carry Things Away’, describes a soul journey, or an important condition of your life being removed or transformed.

This change can be unsettling or even painful at first, especially with the Sun being the planet at the heart of your horoscope. Your natural courage, however, rises to all challenges, and you can always face up and do what needs to be done. The benefic planets Venus and Jupiter sitting in signs on either side of the Sun, give you extra support along with personal charm that wins people over. This is a good time to stretch your ambitions, and somebody in authority is inspired to back even your most adventurous plan.
