Do any of you guys know of any female sun/light deities? Generally it seems that in most pantheons the female aspect coresponds more to night/moon, but i know there are probably some out there. Also in general what are some other sun/light deities that are out there?

Amaterasu is the Shinto Sun Goddess. I'm not aware of any others.

The Norse Sunna.
There are actually quite a few female sun deities. There's one from the Americas as well. Have a look on godchecker, that should give you a few names to look into.

I believe that for every God there is a Goddess and like wise. For example for every Goddess of the Sun there is a God of the sun. I honor the Sun and the Moon in both the masculine and feminine aspects. I see no reason why we can't see both.

I honor the Sun and the Moon in both the masculine and feminine aspects. I see no reason why we can't see both. I guess I feel that's kind of arbitrary. I mean- sure there are lots of gods, but just because there's a god of something doesn't mean there has to be a goddess of the same thing. I guess I think it's a bit like saying that because a man lives in a house a woman has to too. And that's before we even get into concepts like 3rd Gender and stuff like that- why does it have to be binary? Most life on earth doesn't have binary sexes.

In the Scytho-Sarmatian pagan faith, the sun is controlled by a male divinity called Papay. Beyond what others have answered here, I'm afraid I can't contribute any useful information on Goddesses that represent the sun.

I see it that way because of dynamic polar oposites as illustrated in the concept of Polarity address in the Kybalion.

Sanguina Cruenta Binary, as in, composed of two parts. Why are you only considering two genders? That's what she means. "She" being applied very loosely. wink Part of the Kybalion is that "All is Mind", if my understanding is correct- which means that lots of genders should be included. If it's about the Principle of Polarity- wouldn't it be a half truth to only see things in terms of Male and Female? For every thought you can have about a thing's nature- you're only getting half of the story and another half is created into infinity. If it's specifically about the Principle of Gender- I think it should be revised because it has a broken understand of what gender is that is still common to this day.

I'll address that later: Esiris If it's specifically about the Principle of Gender- I think it should be revised because it has a broken understand of what gender is that is still common to this day. The Kybalion states: "Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes". Which is why I see a God for every Goddess and likewise. That doesn't mean exactly 1:1 ratio. It means that there will always be male/female counterparts each containing some aspects of the other.

Gender in Hermetics doesn't have the same meaning as sex in our day to day lives. Gender here is solely based on creating, producing, generating ect. Not to body identity or sexual identity. Sexual identity is a manifestation of Gender.
The above is my own terms. I can quote the statements if you would like.

Gender =/= sex in day to day lives. They have different meanings anthropologically and sociologically. So I'm unsure what you mean when you're talking about gender in hermetics. What is its relation to how we use gender in day to day use?
For example, Fa'afafine. That is a gender. How does that fit into hermetic gender?
Why are you basing your understanding on the Kybalion anyway? Particularly if, as Esiris said, its understanding of gender is out of date.
