Sun in Aries (General) 

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and so it deals with beginnings and renewal. The ingress of the Sun into Aries marks the transition from Winter to Spring so this is a great time of beginnings of all kinds.  When the Sun is in Aries, people are generally more bold, restless, and enterprising.  They are more inclined to explore, to be contrary, and to be stubborn. 

How the Sun in Aries Affects You

In order to determine the house that the Sun in Aries is transiting you look at your birth chart and determine what house aligns with Aries. The house where the Sun is transiting is the area of life where you will feel bolder, more energetic, and aggressive. For example. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Aries is your 1st  House  
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Aries is your 12th House 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Aries is your 11th House
• If your rising sign is Cancer, Aries is your 10th House 
• If your rising sign is Leo, Aries is your 9th House
• If your rising sign is Virgo, Aries is your 8th House
• If your rising sign is Libra, Aries is your 7th House 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Aries is your 6th House 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Aries is your 5th House
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Aries is your 4th House 
• If your rising sign is Aquarius, Aries is your 3rd House 
• If your rising sign is Pisces, Aries is your 2nd House

Example

Sun + Aries + 6th House 

The Sun (I am) in Aries (Self ) in the 6th house of health, work, and your daily routine will manifest as aggressive confidence regarding your day to day work and / or health. You feel healthier and may take steps to improve or refine your diet or exercise routines.  You have more energy for exercise and your physical activity in general can see an increase. 

Your focus now is also on your work and you want to do a good job. You take more pride in the work that you do. Your ego is tied up in your work, when you don't meet or exceeds your own expectations you feel bad about yourself. However, when you feel you do a great job you feel really good about yourself. Now is a good time to organize your work space for optimum efficiency as well as to improve your work skills.  

Aspects

Aspects, or relationships between planets, is another dimensions of astrological interpretation that should be considered. In this case we would look at the aspects between the transit Sun in 0° Aries and those planets in your natal chart. 

For example, let us say that you have Saturn in 3° Cancer, which is 93­° away from the Sun at 0° Aries making it a square. A square is a type of aspect in which the energy of one planet is creating tension with the energy or urge of another planet. 

Transit Sun + Square +  Natal Saturn  =  I am creates tension with I achieve. 

With the transit Sun (identity) making a square to Saturn (discipline), you may feel more undisciplined and lack control over yourself. You may feel more insecure and question yourself to the point that you don't feel comfortable making decisions for yourself (especially important ones).  You will need to take steps to overcome feelings of not being "enough". 

Ruler of the House

The Ruler of the House can also be considered. The Sun rules Leo so the house that the Sun occupies in your natal char is said to be ruled by the Sun or the Sun is the ruler of the X house. The ruler of X house will have an affect on the activities of the house that Aries is in in your natal chart. For example, let us say that you have Leo in the 10th house and Aries in the 6th house. This would then be stated as the Ruler of the 10th house (the Sun) in the 6th House (Aries). What this means is that the activities of the 10th house serve the agenda of the 6th house. This in turn, can then be translated as "reputation, achievements and your desire for recognition serves daily habits, routines and health". 

We can then extrapolate on this statement to better understand the meaning of the ruler of the 10th house in the 6th house. You might say that you build up a good reputation by performing well at work. You may become known as a workaholic and bring a high level of professionalism to your job.
