Your core self comes into focus through relationship.
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 opposition your Sun
Across a long passage Neptune opposes your Sun, and your sense of self loses its sharp edges, slowly. When Neptune opposes your natal Sun in your chart, you are idealistic and compassionate to a fault, and you take on other people's problems as though they had been formally assigned to you. None of it happens quickly.
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 opposition your Sun
Saturn faces your Sun from across the chart for several months, often making three exact contacts as it goes retrograde and then direct, and the results of about fourteen years come to a head. Saturn needs roughly twenty-nine years for a full lap of the zodiac, and this opposition is the halfway point of its cycle with your Sun, fourteen or fifteen years after it last crossed it. The Sun is the will you steer by and the character you would claim as yours; Saturn is structure, limit and the account for whatever you set up.
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 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 trine your Sun
About four months before your birthday, and again about four months after it, the transiting Sun trines your natal Sun; each visit is over within two or three days. The Sun is your purpose and your character, and here it meets itself at the friendliest angle available. Nothing new arrives.
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.
