Overview: Sun is all about the need to be persistent and gentle in your actions. It does not mean that your plans will be unsuccessful because you are proceeding gently rather than forcefully. Unceasing gentleness, not aggressiveness is the key to progress and success. Persuasion and the birth of trust will be far more enduring than threats and coercion. It is a time to allow your thoughts and ideas to permeate the minds of those you are dealing with at their own speed. Be gently persistent in your approach and you will be successful. Adapt to each situation as required. Don't mistake gentleness for docility and don't allow gentleness to become weakness.
