Your core self stands a little apart, and serves something larger.
Pluto conjunct your Sun
Pluto occupies your Sun for roughly two years, reaching the exact degree at least three times as its retrograde loops swing it over the spot again, and the pressure lands on the centre of the chart. Your Sun is shorthand for the self you return to when no role is required of you: your purpose, your will and the place you act from. Pluto works slowly and from underneath, stripping away whatever cannot bear its weight.
Neptune sextile your Sun
Neptune sextiles your Sun at Neptune's pace, which means at least a year, with a slow back-and-forth of several passes. The Sun is your self and your purpose; Neptune dissolves outlines, softens certainty and opens the way to imagination, compassion and faith. In a sextile the meeting is gentle and cooperative.
Uranus trine your Sun
Uranus trines your Sun for roughly a year of on-and-off contact, usually three passes, and change comes with the door held open rather than kicked in. The Sun is your centre and your purpose; Uranus is the break from habit, the new idea, the freedom to be odd. A trine lets them cooperate.
Saturn sextile your Sun
Saturn sextiles your Sun across several months; a retrograde nearby can open it twice more before it closes. The Sun carries your will and your sense of who you are; Saturn adds patience, structure and a feel for what lasts. Joined by a sextile, they make slow, sensible effort on your own aims pay off, and they do it quietly, without the drama Saturn brings to its harder angles.
Jupiter opposition your Sun
Jupiter opposes your Sun, typically for some weeks; a retrograde can bring it across the point three times over several months, so the theme returns rather than passing once. Jupiter makes whatever it meets bigger, and here it meets your Sun, the self at your centre. Facing each other, they turn the volume up on everything around you, mostly through other people — the generous friend with a large plan, the confident stranger, the offer that sounds a size too big — and invite you to say yes to it.
Venus square your Sun
Venus squares your Sun across two short days, and pleasing people runs straight into being yourself. Your Sun is purpose, the self under construction; Venus is charm, taste and the hope of approval. Squared, they make you choose between them more often than usual, sometimes several times before lunch.
Sun sextile your Sun
Twice yearly the Sun comes into sextile with its own birth degree, keeping the angle about two days before moving on, and you get a mild, friendly echo of your birthday without the fuss. Your natal Sun marks the self you keep steering toward — the thing you hope people remember you by, where your pride lives, what makes a day feel properly yours. When the travelling Sun stands sixty degrees from that point, the two are on easy terms and no argument is needed.
Mercury sextile your Sun
Mercury's sextile to your Sun lasts two days or thereabouts; while it does, your mind is quick and your confidence easy to find. Mercury is the mind putting itself into words; the Sun is the person behind them. A sextile keeps them on friendly terms, so what you say sounds like you, which is rarer than it should be and worth spending on something that matters.
Sun-sign horoscopes read the sky against your Sun. For the most accurate read, also read your rising sign — if you know it, that version is usually the truer story.
