What does Sun in Sagittarius mean?

Sun in Sagittarius routes the sun part of you through Sagittarius's fire mutable style. Sun keeps doing what it always does; the sign decides the tempo, the temperature, and the rules of engagement. The placement is most visible in the moments where Sun is being asked to act — not when it's being asked to reflect.

Is Sun in Sagittarius a good placement?

Placements aren't graded. Sun in Sagittarius works well when the rest of the chart supports the kind of fire expression Sagittarius prefers, and it strains when the chart asks Sun to behave in a way Sagittarius doesn't do well. The honest reading is in the integration, not the label.

How is Sun in Sagittarius different from the Sun in Sagittarius?

Sun in Sagittarius describes the core identity — the thing you are organizing your life around. The other planets in Sagittarius color how that identity expresses, but the Sun is the architecture.

Does the house Sun sits in matter as much as the sign?

Often more. The sign tells you how Sun expresses; the house tells you where in life that expression keeps showing up. People with Sun in Sagittarius in different houses end up living noticeably different versions of the same placement.

How do I work with Sun in Sagittarius in practice?

Go back through your calendar and look for moments when sun themes were active — when you were making a decision the planet governs. Sagittarius's style was in the room, even if you didn't name it. That recognition is most of the work; the rest is letting Sun use Sagittarius's rhythm instead of fighting it.
