Your core self is shaped by feeling and belonging.
Neptune square your Sun
Neptune squares your Sun, and the stretch it covers is long and uneven: a year at the very least and often nearer two, with exactness reached on three passes or more as Neptune creeps forward and drifts back. Your Sun is the outline of you: your purpose, the things you would stand up and defend, the direction you assume you are heading in. Neptune dissolves outlines; it works through fog and longing and a slow loss of edges.
Saturn square your Sun
Most of a year can go by while Saturn squares your Sun, with the exact square usually landing three times as Saturn loops backward and forward over the degree, and the whole stretch feels uphill. Your Sun stands for the self you intend to grow into, and for the aims you would defend in public. Saturn deals in limits, time and proof.
Venus opposition your Sun
Venus opposes your Sun in a short contact, two days as a rule, longer in the rare stretch when she slows almost to a standstill, and who you are gets partly settled by whoever stands across the table. Your Sun is will, selfhood and the life you mean to build; Venus is attraction, pleasure and a hunger for approval. While they face each other, you are on edge more or less constantly and far too aware of how everybody in the room is reading you, even when everybody in the room is mostly thinking about themselves.
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.
