Pluto opposition your Sun

Pluto opposing your Sun applies steady pressure to who you take yourself to be, and it applies that pressure through a person: somebody with leverage over your situation, or somebody who simply refuses to see you the way you would prefer to be seen. Situations arrive that test your self-image, and decisions that would normally be small start to feel weighted with consequence. Old fears and long-buried truths come up with an urgency you cannot schedule.

Neptune trine your Sun

Neptune trines your Sun: the compassionate, idealistic side of you comes forward, and for a while you see your own life through a wider and kinder lens than you usually allow. This long, soft passage asks very little of you except attention. It surfaces as a lighter grip on who you take yourself to be.

Uranus sextile your Sun

Uranus sextiles your Sun for a year or so, sometimes longer as it slows, reverses and returns across the degree. Your Sun marks the core of you: purpose, character, the person you would defend under questioning. Uranus is what breaks habit: it brings the sudden idea and the itch to be nobody's copy.

Saturn trine your Sun

For several months, and longer when Saturn's backward loop carries it over the same degree a second and third time, Saturn trines your Sun and effort starts turning into results without the usual grinding. Your Sun is your purpose, the person you spend your days being; Saturn supplies patience, form and a liking for the long view. In trine the two cooperate.

Jupiter conjunct your Sun

Jupiter crosses your Sun, a passage of a few weeks that can stretch to three crossings across several months when Jupiter turns retrograde near the spot. Your Sun is the core of you, the self you would recognise in a mirror and the purpose you would defend; Jupiter enlarges, encourages and opens doors. Fused together, they make you larger.

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.

Mercury square your Sun

Mercury squares your Sun briefly, two days at most, and your meaning and your words come slightly apart. Explanations land crooked, messages get misread, and a point sometimes has to be made twice because it did not land the first time, which is its own irritation. This is easily taken personally, as if your ability to express yourself had suddenly failed.
