Positive Sun transits help you assume personal authority in your career, social and personal life, or you may be supported by those in authority.
Suppose you have adverse sun transits, for example. In that case, the transiting Sun is making a square or opposition to planets in your natal chart; you may become egotistical and overwork yourself.

Suppose Mars or Uranus are making a negative aspect, whilst the Sun is transiting your first house. In that case, you could become egotistical, or if your natal chart demonstrates you’re prone to selfishness, then this can be increased at this time.
However, it is crucial that you use this time to go after what you want while taking into the needs of others, as you wouldn’t want to make enemies or cause unnecessary obstacles.
It is crucial that you do look after your personal needs, just don’t hurt others while doing so.
You may have trouble working with others on joint projects if you can delay collaborations until after this transit.
But just like the World is not perfect; you have no other option but to cooperate; it is best you make time in your schedule to focus on your own needs; this may mean cutting down the time you spend on social media or socialising.
