The sun's energy is very powerful and underused, we can harness the Sun’s energy to enhance our own energy, either to refuel or to prepare before a magical work. Solar Magic has been very present in all ancient civilizations, although it is now rarely used. The Energy of the Sun as the Moon, influence positively or negatively on people and magic, if you know the right way to do it, we can benefit from this powerful magical energy and help us in our day to day life. Energy from the sun gives light to all things with its own reserves, and makes a balanced distribution, not only in the sky and air, but also upon earth. All good things we have, come from the sun or immediately from him through other celestial bodies. It is said that the soul of the world lies in the sun as it expands its rays everywhere, like a spirit that reaches all things, distributing life, the feeling and movement of the universe. For all this, the ancients called the Sun the heart of the sky, and the Chaldean Astrology, placed him among the planets. The Egyptians also placed him in the midst of the world, example, they put five planets above the sun, and below it to the moon and the four elements. We can harness the sun's energy to dispel all our fears and insecurities, as the sun dissipates its light at night.
The Sun is considered the first “planet,” though it is technically a star. In astrology, the Sun, along with the Moon, is called a luminary, meaning light. It is the center of the solar system. As the center, it represents our personal center, or core, in this lifetime. The Sun represents our primal fire, and who we are learning to be. It also denotes our physical health and aspects of the personality.
Out of the seven energy centers of the body known as chakras, the Sun corresponds to the solar plexus, our place of personal power, self-image and ego. Here we illuminate and heal our fears. The Sun is also connected to the heart chakra, as the center of the chakra system. The physical heart provides the energy, in the form of blood, like the Sun provides energy in the form of light. Each planet is associated with one or more zodiac signs. The Sun rules Leo, the lion, the sign of developing our sense of self and identity, to interact with others. The lesson of Leo is the development of the healthy ego. Leo also corresponds with the physical heart and healing heart ailments.
By looking at the five elements, earth, air, fire, water and spirit, the Sun obviously resonates with fire, an energy of purification, passion, guidance and protection.
It is the largest “planet” and therefore has a great importance on us magically. The Sun can ultimately be seen as the source of life on Earth, providing the energy for all chemical reactions. Even though we may lose sight of it in times of darkness, or obscure it with the mental cloudiness, the Sun always continues to shine, being a constant guide.
Like the Moon, the Sun waxes and wanes. From the Winter Solstice to Summer Solstice, solar energy is building, so it is a great time to grow with the Sun. The rest of the year, it is waning. Personally, we each have periods of the year that correspond with the seven planets, divided into periods of fifty-two days. The first fifty-two days from your birthday is considered a time of the Sun, a time of empowerment, success, health and prosperity. In general, for the Northern Hemisphere, the first fifty-two days after the Spring Equinox is a hemisphere solar period, lasting roughly from March 21 to May 11.
There are many ways to align with the power of the Sun. If you do visionary meditations or shamanic journey, you can ask to meet with a solar god and ask for his or her blessings. You can also choose times that resonate with the Sun. Each of the seven main planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) have a day of the week. Sunday is literally the Sun’s day and an appropriate time to do solar rituals. When any planet is in the sign of Leo, it will have a solar flavor to it.
Ritual
You will use the power of this star, to increase confidence in yourself. You will need the following: Sunflower seeds 2 yellow candles 1 golden ribbon sand crumb yellow bag Copper
How to do the ritual: This spell should be done on a sunny day, preferably on a Sunday, as it is when more force charged by the solar influence. We must turn the yellow candles, and mix in a bowl sunflower seeds with sand crumb, will surround the bowl with golden ribbon, and finally introduce in it, a piece of Copper. This mixture will keep it in the yellow bag. Keeping lighted candles, we shall state the following sentence: "Power of the Sun, light force, vigorous and brilliant then make my future" We must let the candles burn and keep the bag, so will resort to the magical power of the Sun to take heart.
Other ways to harness the vast power of the Sun is to include solar items in your rituals, ceremonies and magic. Call upon solar gods. Do rituals during the daylight hours. Honor sunrise, noon and sunset. For those familiar with drawing down the Moon, try drawing down the Sun. Use the colors of the Sun on your altar, candles, altar cloth and tools. Magical texts have many resources of metals, minerals and plants “ruled” by the Sun, meaning their energy is in alignment with the Sun, although each item may have more than one planet associated with it. Use these correspondences for charms, talismans and potions. Here is a list of some common solar items:
Minerals: Amber, Ametrine, Boji Stone , Orange Calcite, Carnelian, Cat’s Eye, Citrine, Diamond Herkimer, Diamond, Pipestone, Pyrite, Quartz, Ruby, Sunstone, Tiger’s Eye, Topaz
Herbs: Adder’s Tongue, Agrimony, Alfalfa, Allspice, Almond, Angelica, Ash,Banana, Bay, Birch, Blackeyed Susan, Borage, Cactus, Caraway, Seed, Celandine, Centaury, Chamomile, Cinnamon, Citron, Copal, Daisies, Eyebright, Fir, Frankincense, Galanga Root, Garlic, Ginseng, Goldenrod, Goldenseal, Heliotrope, High John the Conqueror Root, Hops, Juniper Berries, Marigold, Mistletoe, Mustard Seeds, Red Oak, Oat, Orange, Peony, Pimpernel, Pineapple, Pumpkin, Rosemary, Rue, Saffron, Sage, Shepherd’s Purse, Sundew, Sunflower, Tarragon, Tea, Thyme, Vine, Walnut, Yarrow
(Be sure to consult a reputable medical herbal book before using any herbs topically or internally. I suggest using herbal charms by carrying a small cloth bag filled with herbs and/or stones, infused with your intention through a solar ritual.)
Try this simple Sun ritual to feel the power of light, life and success in your life. First, you will need a piece of gold jewelry. Cleanse the gold, smudging it in sage, anointing it with water or bury it in the ground for a few days. Ask to remove all harmful and unwanted energies. On Sunday, at dawn or noon, go outside, hold up the gold jewelry and feel the energy of the Sun resonate with the metal. Focus on thoughts of health, prosperity and happiness, and feel those thoughts fill the gold. Ask for the Sun’s blessing in your life.
Meditate with these energies for as long as you would like. When done, you can wear the jewelry whenever you need some light and energy. For those suffering from winter depression, it is advised doing this in the spring or summer, and wearing it during the deep winter, to help bring guidance and light as needed.

This day is suitable for concentration. You can concentrate on knowledge you interesting in. For instance, if you learn symbols – concentrate and you’ll get more understanding. If you have some troubles with understanding of something – try to concentrate on this day. You can also improve your ability to concentrate. If you are among huge crowds of people use the energy of this lunar day and move like scanning the spaces around, softly passing the people by.
