The Sun's (house) position shows us what area our personalities shine most. The areas of life associated with the house it occupies reveal the types of experiences that will contribute to our sense individuality and that shape our sense of pride. These areas are ones in which we seek to express and focus our Sun signs qualities.
To find out which Planets/Houses occupy your birth chart, I recommend using this website:

Then your birth chart will pop up & its pretty self explanatory, It will show your sun sign, then underneath each planet it will show what house occupies each planet.
Sun in 1st house (Or Leo rising): You are someone who strives to be an "Individual". You have a very strong presence about you, a kind of dramatic presence that screams "I'm here! I have arrived! Let me entertain you! lol! You have a real desire to demonstrate who you are and what you are about. In your childhood, you most likely had plenty of toys and were spoiled with gifts to keep you entertained, which most likely followed closely into adulthood as well!

Sun in 3rd house: All you really want for people to do is just listen to you when you speak. Not just listen to hear you, but you want people to listen to really understand what you are saying, when you are speaking. If others don't listen, or if they interrupt you, or dismiss you, your ego will become bruised. You may struggle with communication, or you could sometimes feel undervalued for the things you have to say. You may even possibly be the more quiet type, but when you do finally have something to say, you want to feel heard when you speak. You are a person who really appreciates the art of communication. Your purpose with this Sun placement is to the fundamental development of the intellect: ours-- through the exhilarating experience of the immediate environment: yours.

Your pursuit of pleasure is always somehow magically achieved through creative use of your mind, body and soul, and always somewhat invigorated by the blinding glare of the competitive spotlight. Your maximum potential depends on your ability to enrich the lives of those around you while playfully reaping the fruits of your own ingenious labors, and vowing the world in the noteworthy process.
Sun in 6th house: You express your ego/identity through your work and daily routines. You probably have a set routine or schedule that you do every single morning or afternoon. Such as a coffee run, taking a jog around the block, cleaning the house in a certain order every single day. What ever your routine is for, it is most likely a precise schedule that you stick to in a orderly fashion. You may enjoy helping others with their daily routines, or helping others get more organized in terms of their health. You love making to-do lists & checking off each task once completed. You are a natural at organization & keeping things in order.

7th house: You perform beautifully for others. You know exactly what others want. You come alive when in the company of other people, especially those who validate you. You love to be noticed and admired by others. You can sometimes struggle with self acceptance or your own individuality. You may sometimes mirror others so they accept you. Because you are great at negotiation, you can mediate between two parties at odds with each other and help with figuring out a reasonable solution. You seek out injustices with the desire to set things right, for restoring harmony is very very important to you. I can't imagine a 7h Sun when things are chaotic, it will probably scare you.

You may not be able to express how deeply you feel which is very frustrating to you. Some of you may also have unresolved childhood trauma, that needs to be brought to the surface in order to heal.
Because life usually begins with sex and ends with death, its not hard to understand why you're so frequently exposed to the seamier side of humanity and so routinely involved with the more violent forces of nature. It's also why your own life gets more complicated every time your tempted to unleash what could be catastrophic or exposing things that should be kept private, just because you happened to feel threatened. Sometimes the sun here also awards one with gains through lottery speculations, or unexpected prizes. With your Sun in the 8th house, you must use your Sun's power in the 8th house to transform yourself and others by skillfully controlling resources that don't belong to you. To access your maximum potential, you must first achieve the deep level of intimacy that's needed to access them.

Your purpose with this Sun placement is to become a powerful somebody in the outside world. Not to worry. With your political savvy, you know your powerful way around the inside track, which is ultimately a good thing because, officially, you're here to establish your place in society by rising to a position of authority. No wonder your chronically compelled to impress the powers that be. You have a rendezvous with destiny to become one with yourself, and you will, but only through trial and tribulation of courageously calling the shots, respectfully running the show, and honorably following the rules, not manipulating them.
11th house: You come alive when you are a part of a group or movement. You love finding people who share the same interests as you. You love to have a "tribe", who encourages you, uplifts you, and inspires you to do better. You enjoy being in the company of others who keep you entertained. Desire to glow when you're apart of something bigger than yourself.
Your purpose with this Sun placement is to get out there in the middle of humanity and assert your own creative individuality. Its called group leadership, which is nothing more than a planetary permission slip to openly pursue ambitious goals, eagerly embrace impossible dreams, and stubbornly support revolutionary ideas, while inspiring a group of otherwise ambivalent associates to follow your idealistic lead in the sometimes rebellious, but always progressive, process. Talk about ambitious goals.
12th house: You feel most like yourself when you are alone or out of the public eye. You can come up with creative ideas when you are by yourself. A lot of your creativeness comes from your collective consciousness in a kind of "flash" of lightening that just jumps into your mind when you are in your own company. You are very creative, but you don't like others peeking in on your ideas while your in the middle of creating them, this might cause you to "freeze up". Your purpose with this Sun placement is to universally elevate your own immortal spirit by compassionately rehabilitating ours. Talk about higher callings. Evidently, this is one lifetime that should come with a halo, not just because your soul is cosmically committed to providing others with the deep sense of emotional fulfillment they deserve, but because you're the one who must selflessly supply them with the strong sense of psychological well being that they need. This is really no mortal task when you must first overcome your own childhood sense of guilt, loss, or shame before you do it. Is it any wonder that your so influenced by the past?
