Hi Elva - the Sun can be in any of the 12 signs in an astrological chart. I am not sure how to answer your comment.

DW, it's extremely hard to answer a visual question when I cannot see the chart. There are many different ways to format and print a chart. The exact location of the Sun is only one sign but visually it can be confusing for newcomers to identify amongst all the signs and symbols on the chart wheel. However if there is a table included with your chart like at the bottom of a chart from astro.com, it should clarify the Sun's exact position by sign. In the introduction to my online course Meet the Planets I teach at a beginner level how to identify and interpret the sign and house placement of any planet. Thanks for your question!

What if it looks like the sun isn't in my sign? How does that make sense? It looks like the sun is on the cusp between the sign prior to mine and mine, but more in the previous sigh.
