Your core self is built through responsibility and mastery.
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.
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 square your Sun
The Sun squares its own birth position twice a year, roughly three months before and three months after your birthday, and for about two days the year's plans meet a test. The aims you set when this solar year began rub against what is actually happening, and the gap can show up as impatience, tiredness, or a short temper with yourself. It works as a checkpoint, not a verdict.
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.
