Your core self lives through the mind and the word.
Pluto trine your Sun
Pluto trines your Sun through a long season, coming and going in three slow passes, and the force that usually arrives as pressure arrives instead as backing. The Sun stands for the centre of you: what you are for, what you will put your name to. Pluto is depth and power, the capacity to end something and begin again.
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 conjunct your Sun
Uranus sits on your Sun for the greater part of a year, occasionally more, crossing it up to three times as it moves forward, backs up and moves on, and few contacts in the sky ring a louder alarm clock. The Sun is identity and purpose: the core you would still call yourself in any company. Uranus brings shocks, unconventional turns and the long-overdue break.
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 sextile your Sun
For several weeks Jupiter and your Sun sit sixty degrees apart, and if Jupiter goes retrograde close to the degree the contact can repeat, making three passes in all across many months. Your Sun is what you steer by: the purpose you would put your name to. Jupiter widens things, adding optimism, generosity and room to move.
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.
Mercury trine your Sun
Mercury trines your Sun briefly, a day and sometimes two, longer when Mercury is slowing down, and what you think and who you are line up. The Sun stands at the middle of you: your will, your sense of purpose, the self you would put forward if asked to describe yourself. Mercury is the voice that explains it.
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.
