To survive, a life form found it necessary to control its food supply. To reproduce, it was essential to find a mate. Later, when group life developed, authority and leadership became necessary.
Natural history books (and television shows) show may instances of this in the herd life of animals and colonies of insects. And when human life was eventually established a dominant individual attained the head position of the family, then the tribe. Every group has its sectional authority.
The drive for significance stirs the ambition for power and position. In human existence we find these thought-elements mapped by the Sun in your birth chart.
They are the origin of pride, firmness, approbativeness, conscientiousness and self-esteem. The etheric energy is electric and positive. It gives vitality and recuperative powers. There is ability to govern and direct others, and the urge to rise to a commanding position in life. These power thought-elements in your astral body have the strength and power indicated by the Sun’s house location and aspects in your chart.
They were built into your astral body by thoughts and feelings associated with your sense of significance as you strove to make your mark in life.
But will you attain a position of authority? Does your power thinking coincide with worry? Are you envious or jealous? Would you cheat and lie to obtain power? Do you get morbid or brood over defeat in a contest? Perhaps you are dominant, authoritarian, ruthless or unbearably proud.
Discordant power thinking and feeling will bring misfortune. Its excessive indulgence will result in high blood pressure, pneumonia, spinal trouble, and most prevalent of all, heart disease.
On the other hand, kindness, wisdom, confidence, firmness in right action, conscientious leadership, and proper pride in accomplishment, engender thoughts that will bring good fortune.
So, it pays to ensure that your power thought-elements are playing a constructive role in both your daily life and the building of your astral body.
