Your core self is shaped by feeling and belonging.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
