Your core self is built through responsibility and mastery.
Sun sextile your Sun
Twice yearly the Sun comes into sextile with its own birth degree, keeping the angle about two days before moving on, and you get a mild, friendly echo of your birthday without the fuss. Your natal Sun marks the self you keep steering toward — the thing you hope people remember you by, where your pride lives, what makes a day feel properly yours.
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 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.
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.
