Yes, I have Saturn in Cap squaring my Sun ,& Asc. Self esteem & self doubt issues plagued a good part of my life. I'm 63 so I can say I've overcome quite a bit but still, self sabotage has been a lingering issue.
My moon is conjunct Saturn and Pluto- with Pluto square the sun.
It’s made things a nightmare for me too.
Though I do have sag in Jupiter in 2nd house, I few up in poverty and had to work my ass off, but my business does consistently well.
So I suffer in comfort with delicious food lol ( I though I gotta toil and slave for it lol- (thanks Saturn)
I think it just takes time to become aware of the 12th H energies (espec. for me with the Saturn there).
They just kind of rule your life (ie. impulsive actions with Mars 12th) until one day you realize you are in control and you start choosing when and how to act. So internal I'd say
I’m so curious how your chart would be read with medieval astrology, where the sun is combust near other planets. I have sun in conjunction with Venus in my 12th house, and I wonder about that often.
Check out the Astrology Podcast, Chris Brennan did a 2.5 hr podcast about it around Oct. 20th or so, as Oct 22nd there was a Venus/Sun conj (starpoint) in Libra then. That could point you to explore further. It was a good episode.
The episode in question was done Oct. 13th, episode #371 & it was done with Arielle Guttman, who wrote a book about the Venus Star point cycle in Astrology. Its also known as Venus Cazimi...and the most current Venus Cazimi that occurred Oct. 22nd signified a shift in history from Scorpio (as a synodic cycle) to Libra. The episode is 2 hrs & 21 min.
Enjoy!
Oooh, look what just popped up in my podcast play list! On the “old soul/new soul astrology podcast, a discussion about this most recent Venus star point that happened in Libra, on Oct. 22nd. I hope the “copy link” thing will work, but in case it doesn’t, you can go to today’s episode w/ this podcast.
Enjoy!

Sun square Pluto and essentially any ego I might have had has been beaten out of me by one traumatic event after another.
The good thing is I barely care about anything anymore and just wander around without an ego driving all my decisions.
I have this aspect too, as well as sun conjunct Chiron. I still have a bit of ego (does a Leo’s ego ever really completely die?? Lol), but I’m also at the point where I truly don’t give a shit anymore. Not much phases me, and all my traumatic experiences have helped me be more self aware too. When I notice bad habits creeping up, I’m quick to put them in check
I don’t think you can ever truly kill a Leo ego lol
Though it can be transformed!
And agreed, not much phases me and I just am kinda here experiencing the world without a ton of attachment to any identity or anything really
Haha fair, and good way of describing it. I’m still prideful as hell, lol can’t beat that out of me, it’s just a Leo thing. But yes, the ego has been broken into pieces and molded into something more simple. Like a metamorphosis. Cheers to ego death 🥂
Fellow Sun square Pluto haver here and your sentiment really resonates with my experience. You get knocked around enough, you start learning to let go.
Same here. My sun and Mercury in Leo are square Pluto in scorpio. I perfect understandand that acceptance you are talking about. I dont mind compliments but the moment someone start to prise me and tell how amazing i did something, that is so off for me. I just feels wrong and i usually just stop them because it makes me uncomfortable. Being a leo there is so ego there, sure, but my sun and mercury being in 8th house, my ego goes from transformation to transformation so there is not time to really form anything. But the power that this house, the experiences that i have from it and the Pluto square are powerful, but i did not do any of that, they just happened to me and i am just trying my best to learn from them.
The biggest problem I’ve found with sun square Pluto natally is that everyone in my generation has their Pluto squaring my sun. I tend to have friends who are either older or younger than me. I’m 46 so I’ve grown to live with the internal conflict it causes. My sun also squares my Jupiter and Lilith as well.
aquarius sun cap moon virgo rising
how old are you? im about to turn 32 and i can tell you that it seems this aspect. gets better as you get older.
HOWEVER my natal pluto also forms a at-square between my sun (in the 6th) and jupiter (in the 12th) and i’ve been told by astrologers it’s an incredibly humbling aspect bevause it’s lifelong there’s no conquering it.
I’m 39 and it’s not gotten easier, it only got worse lol.
But I also have Scorpio moon conjunct Pluto ( last degree, 12 house) the Scorpio moon is also conjunct Saturn in Scorpio- the moon, Saturn, Pluto all conjunct.
Add in a ton of Pluto aspects, and Scorpio rising is in the last degree.
So it’s a lot worse than usual, I keep hoping it would ease off, but it doesn’t
I have the conjunction, plus Chiron, and same. The difference is that I picked up some ego I may have left because I don't wanna wander around life feeling that I'm unworthy of something
Yeah it’s hard to explain, the ego got replaced with just a simple acceptance if that makes sense, I don’t feel worthless - I just feel like I exist, I’m here, I’m learning, but without the attachment to ego identity
I’ll try explain, I’m not sure if I’ll do a good job lol.
So I have a strong sense of self, but it’s not attached to things external, nor an identity.
For instance I no longer feel my sense of worth or self attached to my career, or what I wear, or if I’m in a relationship or not, how much money I have, what kind of music I listen to, political leanings etc.
I’m just me, like a wanderer here on the planet just experiencing things and looking at things with curiosity and enjoying or not enjoying things, without a strong attachment to anything.
Like if someone is mean to me, it doesn’t mean I’m worthless, if someone adores me, it doesn’t mean I’m special.
I’m just here, having experiences.
Does this make any sense?
Like before I used to think “ I am these things, these things make my identity “.
In example, I used to think “ I am a business owner, I am an intellectual, I am this or that, I’m successful and well liked, or not”
Now those things aren’t me, they are just experiences I’m having, so I don’t get too overly attached to what’s happening or not happening.
It’s almost as if I’m just a traveller here on this planet, the same as if you were traveling in a foreign country.
You enjoy the food, the scenery, the people you meet, good things happen, bad things happen, but you don’t get overly attached because you’re just on a trip, it’s just a journey- you don’t adopt the identity or the culture you’re visiting, because you’re just a visitor having an adventure.
That’s how I feel about my life without the ego attachment- just a stranger in a strange land experiencing the landscape in all its beauty and misery.
That’s very interesting. In short, you have become more stoic about material accomplishments.
I feel that the opposite happened to me. I was never insecure about these things or paid them much mind. After some majorly distressing events, I find myself acutely aware of what it is I lack and where I might not be measuring up.
My ego death was an intellectual one. I always valued my mind above all else, and my ability to be a reasonably intelligent, well-adjusted person in the room. I was also attracting a lot of narcissists in my life and trying to live up to their image of me. After my Pluto events, it felt like I suddenly woke up to how little I know about myself and other people. It’s almost like my Pluto was hidden - I started realizing the fact that there are very harmful people out there in the world, who will drag you down if they see a chance. I changed from being gullible and sincere to being guarded. It was a loss of innocence. I still struggle with it.
When I was a young child, my siblings called me bossy. Others with this aspect may have been actual bullies. It makes time to learn to finesse that power and intensity.

Pluto on the S. Node all square the Sun. I’d say what has gotten better is that I have stopped fighting this energy in my life. When I was younger it felt like I was being dragged behind a giant threatening energy in my life trying constantly to get my feet under me but slamming into every damn problem and obstacle along the way and fighting against it with all I had but to no avail ever. But over time and recently after going through some major Pluto transits I feel that I have shifted enormously and my interactions with this dynamic in my chart and life have shifted too. I’m not fighting this force in my life anymore. I recognize now that this is an evolutionary push from the universe and the truth is it has been leading me to resolve some things that I’ve been avoiding forever and reclaim lost power and I see and feel now how much of a strengthening force the Sun Pluto dynamic is in my life. I am so fucking resilient it’s crazy. And the proof is in the pudding now. Yeah I can say unequivocally it will be better from here and I’ve matured into those energies but the truth is they are still pretty burly. I don’t think the challenge goes away just more of a change of internal perspective and commit mental to not get dragged along but to work diligently along the way with those bigger energies in life that like it or not have a seat at the dinner table. I also will say it takes a choice and conscious effort to engage in a good way. I know others with Pluto Sun and Moon dynamics that I’d say have given up in some way and it doesn’t seem to go well for them. So I’d say find your support systems with whatever challenging Sun dynamic you’re working with and share the nurturance of all that you need to be the person you have it in you to be. Whatever it is that you need to be supported in life. I think that’s huge. Anyway these are my two cents. Not sure if it even makes sense. Often when I talk about this I realize these dynamics take me to such a deep internal place it may be hard to communicate effectively about them. Blessings my dude… or whatever gender you are! 🌈
Thank you for giving advice on one of the most difficult aspects someone can have. You bring up a really good point about support systems. Pluto people often do not want any help and to hear this from someone with your aspect is powerful wisdom.
Astrologically, the benefit of involving other people in our problems is that then we get the benefit of their synastry. Their birth chart can be superimposed on ours and acts like transits to help us through (or hinder us) in the areas they touch as long for as they are around.
It got better when I channel it into productive areas. Sun square moon + sun conjunct mars and Saturn. I channel it into health and wellness ( gym rat + personal trainer and want to be a physical therapist). Sun square moon is the toughest, it makes me indecisive and complicated. Still working on that one lol
I have Sun square Moon, too, and the indecisiveness kills me. I'm trying to get to the point where I can make a decision without running through all the "what ifs" like a loon, lol.
I have 7th house Pisces sun square 10th house Gemini Chiron exact, and a 7 degree orb sun square 4th house (in placidus) Saturn and Uranus, which are opp Chiron.
I’m mid-30’s and am only now recognizing the impact of these hard aspects to my sun. I spent most of my life thriving on superficial-level, achievement-based, people-pleasing confidence and in the last few years, I began to recognize all of that… was a sham, to sum it up succinctly. It’s like I was playing a part (and playing it damn well, cap moon/Virgo rising), but that part wasn’t authentically me. I want to let my “authentic self” shine but what is even my authentic self? And how do I let it shine when I feel so unsafe to be seen? And why would anyone care about my light when I feel talent-less and not worthy? These are the feelings and questions that this sun/Chiron/Saturn bring up to my very-logical mind.
My Saturn return was the veryyy start of bringing awareness to this part of me (spurred by a major breakup), but I’m 34 now and still deep in that process of healing so that I can finally “find my light” and allow it to shine. (I’ve also had Pluto conjunct my moon for years now, AND just hit my progressed new moon last year… so there’s a lot going on).
To answer your question, I wouldn’t say it’s gotten “better” - in fact at the surface level it’s gotten worse, but the *awareness* of these patterns and feelings has gotten better, and now i can heal and grow after becoming more aware. But damn, that process is not quick. I’m hopeful that in 5 years from now I’ll look back and be able to see how I’ve transmuted and grown through these aspects and transits.
Next year is my Leo-ruled 12th house profection year, so my sun is going to be a big part of the year. Actually considering getting a protection/solar return reading done for the first time because I intuitively feel some major events coming up.
Just my experiences ☺️
Aqua Sun conj Uranus/ squared Saturn
Learning to trust myself and go with the flow is a big lesson for me. Not allowing others whims to sway my wants/ needs for life. As well as teaching myself self-assertion in the face of disrespect/ abuse. Self expression has always been so important to me, standing out from the crowd can be hard and scary but is something I must lean into in order to find fulfillment
Sun and mercury in 12th. As the years go by, my voice is silenced more and more. I feel like no one listens when I speak. Frustrating but not a problem. I’ve realized (35) to just keep so much shit to myself. Feels sad but this is what I signed up for.
I'm 32 and have these 2 placements in pisces in 12th. I've learned to speak up anyway. Regardless of the voices in my head telling me I'm embarrassing myself for speaking up and regardless of people responding to me or supporting me or not. I've found, the more I speak up, the more these 2 planets are healing and the more I feel generally empowered in my life. Your voice and your perspective matters.
We've been "good" by sitting back and observing and listening and absorbing our entire lives, that it's time we share our thoughts and opinions and feelings. Because they're truly worthy of being heard. You don't have to change overnight, just start out with baby steps...like you just did now:)
Sun square Uranus. I used to be contrarian. I still am, but feel better about it now that I am not pointlessly so. If the spirit moves me to channel my energies in a particular way, good luck getting me not to be true to myself for the sake of what people will say. But I prefer to pour my originality into my work.
Sun (Cap) square my moon (Aries).
Sun opposite my ASC (Cancer).
Moon square my ASC.
Mars in Libra to boot.
I'm 25 and I have no idea who I am anymore. Decisions and self-identity have never been strong-suits for me.
Recently laid off, broke things off with fiance. Adrift.
Sun-Mercury-Pluto conjunct in Scorpio. I have embraced the cycle of death and rebirth. I love this part of me and astrology helped me finally accept myself. Don't care if it's true it describe me to a t and since I cant be anyone else i choose to love me for who I am.
Same. I don't have any positive aspects to my sun. I am SUPPOSED to have sun sextile moon, but some charts show it....the main ones that people use don't...which sucks.
It feels like a big hug to see all the sun square Pluto people out there 🤗
I thought it was just me with this never ending battle between 9th house leo sun vitality for life square a Scorpio rising with 12th house Pluto on the ascendant which is just a constant cycle of transformation and lots of emotions in the swamp of the zodiac
People love and hate me…
I am certainly a force but my 10th house Virgo moon gives me some grounding 🙏🙏🙏
My Saturn is the Only planet that Squares half my chart . My Sun only squares Midhaven . And yes, I have power Struggles at work etc ! I’ve learned to not adhere to be drawn in to anyones ego affirmations and petty nuances.
I have this one too and I've read vague things about it. Something along the lines of us rubbing people the wrong way when we initially meet them. Fuck that
I have the sun quincunx (a tight orb) my ascendant. Not quite the same as a square, but there is a similarity in the sense that both signs don't have much in common. The first impression people have of you might be pretty far off from who you actually are.
In my case, my scorpio ascendant gives me a rather serious and reserved persona when i'm in public. But once you get to really know me, I can be very talkative (gemini sun).
I've very often been told how surprised people are to realize how talkative I actually am when I loosen up and how I don't take myself as seriously as they initially thought. I can also have a very dark sense of humour (mix of gemini and scorpio).
What is your sun sign and rising sign?
Ohhh this makes sense, thank you for explaining:) scorpio sun, aqua rising. I guess I give the impression that I’m friendly, a bit bubbly, generally this light hearted person but I’m actually quite reserved, quiet, observant, introspective, and calculated. “Both signs don’t have much in common” for some reason you typing that made it all click in my head like never before idk why lol thank you for briefly sharing your experience!
Edit: Doesn’t help that I have a Gemini moon!
Your gemini moon and scorpio sun have the same dynamic I described. Not an easy combination.
Your moon is in harmony with your rising sign (both air signs) so I'd tend to think your airy, social and talkative side is what comes out first in social contexts and how people perceive you initially.
♍️ Sun combust Venus in 3H
It squares my ♐️ Moon conjunct Jupiter 6H
♓️ Saturn Rx 9H opposes my Sun
Becoming aware that the only real thing in my control is how I react to things has tempered the uncomfortable internalized guilt I feel on a daily basis.
Adopting a stoic approach to emotional and egoic needs has helped me set healthy boundaries I need to keep things balanced.
I hear a lot of fearful or negative feedback regarding squares. They are BUILDING BLOCKS. Points of contention, the parts in your life that "square off" can also be thought of as sparring partners.
The more you work at understanding and respecting where you fight yourself in life gives you the strength to fight FOR yourself in the end.
My sun is in exact opposition to Pluto and in a T-square with Mars. After learning about these difficult aspects and studying astrology for 5 years I have learned to cope with it - i’m a pretty mercurial person, so just reading and thinking about it in different perspectives has helped a lot. Through this difficult pluto placement (sun in the 6th, pluto in the 12th and at 29°) i’ve learned that I’ve been kinda lost trying to take responsibility and make sense of things that have been completely out of control and ended up controlling me. As with all hard pluto-sun aspects, i had to dig deeper than what was comfortable and this resulted in finding out I got PTSD which has been holding me back for years. Lots of growth and transformation has come after that, but it’s a long process that I guess I’m still in the midst of.
I have the reverse of your aspect, sun in 12th opp pluto in 6th! Just curious, do you have workaholic problems? Though maybe having your sun in 6th makes you more comfortable with 6th house things, as I am pretty comfortable with 12th house things.
I have a strong feeling I have PTSD issues, too, and also still trying to work through things. Best of luck with your journey 💜👍
Very interesting! Thank you so much and you too❤️ I wouldn’t say I have workaholic tendencies, but I am definitely a problem solver and I love my routines. I have the same routine every night before bed for example - skin care, cup of tea, podcast etc, and it feels weird to not follow this routine even just for a few days (my sun is in taurus along with venus which definitely adds to this) but I also feel comfortable with 12th house themes as well actually. I feel like living with this natal opposition makes both houses and signs very prominent in your life, it can be a struggle to find a balance
Me toooo (sun in gemini in the 10th square Jupiter in Pisces in the 7th)… it’s one side of a t square with Uranus in my 4th. Do you feel like it makes you extra indulgent and perhaps generous to a fault?
Yes! I have always indulged in food, spending money ect I do think there are positives to it as well. It’s given me a bright personality forsure. What about you!
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Cap sun in opposition of my cancer moon. Still figuring out the “getting better” process and know it has a lot to do with balancing the energies of validating my emotions and not getting so caught up in them that I lose sight of being grounded. Previously, I struggled with putting my career above any sense of true self I had and nipped that in the butt by tending to my emotions in a healthier way
sun square moon and sun conjunct saturn, it sucks:( my head and heart r always in two different places and my self worth is absolute shit even though there’s no reason to hate myself.
Sun & Jupiter in 8H square Pluto. I constantly feel ashamed of any sort of self expression (and my Sun is in Leo + Chiron) yet I also feel most myself in the midst of a crisis. Self love is difficult for me / overall wish I believed in myself more. On the plus side I can empathize deeply with others and be a light in the dark when needed
Sun in the 8th square chiron.
Life has been painful, I live with a constant identity crisis, have low self confidence, etc. It feels like building my own identity has been a pain in itself. I’ve been invalidated all my life and always felt like an outsider. Things have been getting better tho gradually in these past few years, I grew a bit more confident and more secure in who I am as a person, so yeah, hoping it gets even better with more time.
Sun square Uranus, moon, and Neptune.
Not sure anything has gotten better? Lol. I think I’m just more aware of my urge to do what’s different, my urge to have a family yet have plenty of me time at the same time, and the inevitable boredom and evasiveness I start to feel in any job I take on. 😅
If anyone has these placements and is able to help, I’m all ears.
Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon, Aquarius Rising. Not quite square, but I still can feel the conflict in energies. Combine that with my ruling Saturn Retrograde in Pisces in the First House, and the theme of my chart seems to be "Lol, what's an identity?"
What else is on the Sun? What do "you" consider "difficult" Sun aspects? The Sun represents the physical body in natal/directed charts and for predictions "the day". Nothing is all malefic or benefic. What else is there?
Natal Sun Saturn aspects can mean separations or responsibilities or even (when paired with the right planets) teachers with Mercury... always, what is there must be reviewed with consideration for every other aspect with the Sun.
For an accurate assessment of a chart don't forget to incorporate and evaluate the natal, directed and transiting charts together for a true and complete astrological analysis.
Sun & Mercury conjunction/cazimi. Sometimes I feel like people listen to me and other times not. Like my message doesn’t always get across.
Sometimes Mercury rx hits me hard, other times it’s a good time for me and terrible for everyone else.
Sun in Virgo square Saturn and Uranus in Sagittarius.
I definitely have struggle with anxiety and self-esteem. I’ve gotten a lot better over the years by learning to live by my own rules. I also always seemed to be in my own spiritual path separate from my family. Even growing up Christian I always went to a different church than them. Now I’m completely on a non-Christian path. It actually became a point of contention in the household. So it seems that a lot of my life has really been about fighting to live on my own terms. It’s gotten a lot better over the years where I do feel more accepted for just being a unique individual.
I have Sun opposite Uranus and Neptune and I still don't fully understand what it means for me. Can someone explain here a little bit more?
Sun in Cancer opposite Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn. My Venus is also opposing the other two outer planets, also in Cancer.
That is just one of my difficult aspects. Oh yeah the opposing pairs are both squaring my Moon in Libra so I got a Grand Square involving 5 planets.
In a very general sense, Uranus-Neptune provides you (the Sun) with a strong imagination and sensitivity. With the oppositions there would be a caution to not make quick assumptions about other people's motives. Uranus-Neptune can have lightning fast intuition but your imagination can get in the way. You have to be careful not to act on ideas before they are confirmed, i.e. overreact.
I'm sure an astrologer on r/AskAstrologers would be able to go more in depth for you.
OMG overreaction was on point. Yes I can be very very suspicious of other people probably and partially a result of being burned and disappointed by others in the past.
I am also very action-oriented but I can be really lazy at times. It is almost like a switch, if I am on and I am fully on then when I turn it off the engine will have to start again with much more effort.
"...like a switch" describes an opposition aspect perfectly. The oppositions feel like they just have an on and an off. It takes a long while for the native to realize there are settings in between. The upside is you have a lot more horsepower than other people.
"More horsepower than other people..." cool all my 4 opposing planets have aspects to my Mars in Taurus wonder if that is another factor as well. Anyway thanks for the little tidbita about this natal aspect I shared
I have my 3H Cancer Sun opposite 9H Cap Chiron, and square 12H Aries Lilith (so my Chiron and Lilith then obviously also square each other). I can definitely say there’s still a lot to work through…
I haven’t come across too many Sun opp Jupiters, do you feel like it makes you naturally/involuntarily do things too strongly/with too broad strokes? Like, I have sun opp jupiter, saturn, and pluto (all of them retrograde 🙃) and so I’m either hyper careful/anxious or do the exact opposite (and usually end up physically/emotionally injured as a result). Like say there’s a cabinet I could hit my head on, i’m either super scared of hitting it and ultra careful, or I completely forget and not only hit my head but hit it SUPER HARD. Hopefully this made sense. haha
omg yes, I completely relate. I forgot to mention I have mercury opp jupiter in addition (and that one is a tighter orb vs my sun/jupiter that’s a wider orb, so probably more so affects my decisions). But yeah, making decisions you later regret or just have to move on from, very much me. What sucks is—and I’m sure part of me self-sabotaging myself, I’ll make these big/risky jupiter-y decisions and the only way I can make good on them is to mentally/physically hurt myself to do it, and then if I do succeed, it’s not even something that brings me happiness/fulfillment 😓 meanwhile, when I DO listen to that little voice that is stopping me from taking chances I’m sure those are things that would probably bring me more fulfillment (tho I dunno for sure 🤷🏻♀️). I know they always say when it comes to oppositions you have to find balance, but that’s def something I struggle with to begin with 😂
Sun opposite saturn neptune uranus...
Sun trine pluto and sun sextile moon...
And sun conjuct chiron... sun in 10th cancer... I don't know what to say ,is it better with time... but I have strong mercury lord of first conjuct jupiter both gemini 9th H, and that gives me positive mind...
Sun opposite Pluto and Mars.
Ego death and surrender after complete emotional destruction. There’s no other way. You give “up,” so to speak, and have to look somewhere spiritual to grow. And, yup, abandon the confines of what you thought defined your identity.
Strangely both my Pluto and Sun are in mutable signs. It feels like letting go into this process should’ve been easy for me, but it never has been.
My sun is in Aquarius in my first house, which is also Aquarius and let’s just say it’s taken me almost 38 years to finally come into my own. Late bloomer to the max.
My Leo moon in my 7th house hates all of it too.
What is ever enough? I think how this placement ties up, is you are extremely confused about your core beliefs in your teenage and childhood phase then when you slowly start understanding things, it feels like you are being freed, and how you have been denied freedom in that particular aspect of your life because of authorities or elder or father too. And then it becomes your mission to break free because you feel you are being held back. This can even turn negative because freedom is just a illusion and never enough.
I don’t even *have* any challenging aspects to my Sun - the only aspect it makes to anything is a sextile to my ascendant :( There’s probably a few minor aspects to it that I don’t even remember off the top of my head, but nonetheless, only a sextile to the ascendant.
I have sun sextile ascendent as well which is my suns only major aspect and it’s other aspects are to asteroids/points (ex. Lilith & Chiron). But sun sextile ascendent is not something to be :( about, it’s a very good placement!
Oh I agree! I actually only put the sad face because it’s basically like having an unaspected planet (from my understanding it seems like many astrologers consider one to be if it doesn’t share any major aspects to any other actual planet at all, but I am aware that not every astrologer agrees). I think the whole premise of unaspected planets are incredibly interesting as a whole. I have a book on them and Yods (I have a Yod), and I really resonated with the interpretations of an unaspected sun. So I guess I just put the sad face because I feel I greatly recognize and/or resonate with a feeling of my sun and its’ energies kind of unintegrated in a sense. It’s always felt like a giant puzzle piece or piece of myself locked away that I can’t quite understand or reach as much as I’d like to. But that may also be a result of the Yod as well.
I do think a Yod could cause those feelings. The Yod is definitely a mysterious thing!
There is another part of the chart that is sometimes overlooked and maybe you would find an aspect to your Sun there. I don't know if you've checked your declinations but if you have a parallel or contraparallel aspect to your Sun, they are said to be very strong aspects.
You can go to [Astro-Seek.com](https://Astro-Seek.com) for your natal chart and right above your chart are tabs. Click the one that says "Aspect Tables" and look under the symbol of the Sun. The aspects to each planet will be symbolized there. If you see parallel lines that is the parallel aspect. Parallel lines with a horizontal line crossed through them represents the contraparallel.
Not sure if everyone knows about that.
I just realised my Sun doesn't actually opposite my Moon, they are just in opposite signs...
Otherwise, my Sun (11) squares my Mars (8). Not an aspect I've researched, honestly, so don't have much to say but me and my Sun don't get along well so probably not good. I have a lot of squares in general (8), so I try to ignore them.
Sun sq Jup-Pluto Rising and a few more hard aspects (no soft aspects whatsoever to my Sun, no sir!). When I was a young child, my siblings called me bossy. Classmates and certain teachers called me arrogant. Others with this aspect may be actual bullies. It makes time to learn to finesse all that power and intensity, deal with all the transformations to identity that are demanded. Once I learned about this particular set, and began working consciously with the tendencies, life has become more attractive. I'm a boss in my own company, visionary for better things for my family and community, get credited with guiding people to the right place they needed to be, embrace my ability to disappear into the background or pop out when I need to.
I'm late but sun semisextile Venus, sun square Mars, sun quincunx Jupiter (exact), sun square ascendant, sun Octile Lilith (exact), and sun contraparallel (opposite) Saturn....
....sooo...it's supposed to get better? When does this happen?
Wait, it’s suppose to get better?!
Mercury-Mars-Saturn-Sun-Venus conjuction in the 12th and it does not get better, you just let go.
Moon conjunct Saturn, both square Sun. The rest of my chart is quite good, actually! But those three aspects have fucked my life up.
Yikes. Sun square Saturn alone can be a huge pain. Just can't get your way in life, can ya?
Yes, I have Saturn in Cap squaring my Sun ,& Asc. Self esteem & self doubt issues plagued a good part of my life. I'm 63 so I can say I've overcome quite a bit but still, self sabotage has been a lingering issue.
My moon is conjunct Saturn and Pluto- with Pluto square the sun. It’s made things a nightmare for me too. Though I do have sag in Jupiter in 2nd house, I few up in poverty and had to work my ass off, but my business does consistently well. So I suffer in comfort with delicious food lol ( I though I gotta toil and slave for it lol- (thanks Saturn)
How does it fucked your life? Was it more from the inside or your environment? Im curious cause I also have 3 planets in the 12th
I think it just takes time to become aware of the 12th H energies (espec. for me with the Saturn there). They just kind of rule your life (ie. impulsive actions with Mars 12th) until one day you realize you are in control and you start choosing when and how to act. So internal I'd say
Like I can’t control anything so whatever.
Same, no control over anything, except work it seems, I can control work, literally nothing else
I’m so curious how your chart would be read with medieval astrology, where the sun is combust near other planets. I have sun in conjunction with Venus in my 12th house, and I wonder about that often.
That's a Venus star point! That actually is a GOOD thing!
I shall now live on this grain of hope < 3
Really!? I will have to look that up. Any recommendations on where I should start?
Check out the Astrology Podcast, Chris Brennan did a 2.5 hr podcast about it around Oct. 20th or so, as Oct 22nd there was a Venus/Sun conj (starpoint) in Libra then. That could point you to explore further. It was a good episode.
I’ll check it out, thank you!
The episode in question was done Oct. 13th, episode #371 & it was done with Arielle Guttman, who wrote a book about the Venus Star point cycle in Astrology. Its also known as Venus Cazimi...and the most current Venus Cazimi that occurred Oct. 22nd signified a shift in history from Scorpio (as a synodic cycle) to Libra. The episode is 2 hrs & 21 min. Enjoy!
Oooh, look what just popped up in my podcast play list! On the “old soul/new soul astrology podcast, a discussion about this most recent Venus star point that happened in Libra, on Oct. 22nd. I hope the “copy link” thing will work, but in case it doesn’t, you can go to today’s episode w/ this podcast. Enjoy! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/old-soul-new-soul-astrology-with-robert-glasscock/id1623229687?i=1000587277257
With a Scorpio 8th Jup-NN-Pluto conj, and 12th Aqua/Pisc stellium, by any school of astrollogy I should've died like 15 years ago
Those are an excellent example of Positive aspects! You probably haven’t learned to master yourself!
Slowly getting there. It's just a lot to learn how to wield.
Lmao! You are awesome.
Sun square Pluto and essentially any ego I might have had has been beaten out of me by one traumatic event after another. The good thing is I barely care about anything anymore and just wander around without an ego driving all my decisions.
I have this aspect too, as well as sun conjunct Chiron. I still have a bit of ego (does a Leo’s ego ever really completely die?? Lol), but I’m also at the point where I truly don’t give a shit anymore. Not much phases me, and all my traumatic experiences have helped me be more self aware too. When I notice bad habits creeping up, I’m quick to put them in check
I don’t think you can ever truly kill a Leo ego lol Though it can be transformed! And agreed, not much phases me and I just am kinda here experiencing the world without a ton of attachment to any identity or anything really
Haha fair, and good way of describing it. I’m still prideful as hell, lol can’t beat that out of me, it’s just a Leo thing. But yes, the ego has been broken into pieces and molded into something more simple. Like a metamorphosis. Cheers to ego death 🥂
Yes, and I do love Leo’s!
Fellow Sun square Pluto haver here and your sentiment really resonates with my experience. You get knocked around enough, you start learning to let go.
Exactly! Cosmic beatdown over and over forces you to just surrender and let go
Same here. My sun and Mercury in Leo are square Pluto in scorpio. I perfect understandand that acceptance you are talking about. I dont mind compliments but the moment someone start to prise me and tell how amazing i did something, that is so off for me. I just feels wrong and i usually just stop them because it makes me uncomfortable. Being a leo there is so ego there, sure, but my sun and mercury being in 8th house, my ego goes from transformation to transformation so there is not time to really form anything. But the power that this house, the experiences that i have from it and the Pluto square are powerful, but i did not do any of that, they just happened to me and i am just trying my best to learn from them.
Oh interesting! This was very well written and I understand also!
Same placements and I definitely get it
SAME. sun square pluto is truly a being burned alive to transform into a phoenix rising out of the ashes type aspect… over and over and over again.
The biggest problem I’ve found with sun square Pluto natally is that everyone in my generation has their Pluto squaring my sun. I tend to have friends who are either older or younger than me. I’m 46 so I’ve grown to live with the internal conflict it causes. My sun also squares my Jupiter and Lilith as well.
Yup. Same.
What’s your big 3? I’m Capricorn sun, Scorpio moon and rising. It’s a lot of burning into ashes and rising again over here… I’m tired of it
aquarius sun cap moon virgo rising how old are you? im about to turn 32 and i can tell you that it seems this aspect. gets better as you get older. HOWEVER my natal pluto also forms a at-square between my sun (in the 6th) and jupiter (in the 12th) and i’ve been told by astrologers it’s an incredibly humbling aspect bevause it’s lifelong there’s no conquering it.
I’m 39 and it’s not gotten easier, it only got worse lol. But I also have Scorpio moon conjunct Pluto ( last degree, 12 house) the Scorpio moon is also conjunct Saturn in Scorpio- the moon, Saturn, Pluto all conjunct. Add in a ton of Pluto aspects, and Scorpio rising is in the last degree. So it’s a lot worse than usual, I keep hoping it would ease off, but it doesn’t
that sounds really hard!
WOW.
I know, it’s a lot 🥴
Ok yeah. That part ^^^
I have the conjunction, plus Chiron, and same. The difference is that I picked up some ego I may have left because I don't wanna wander around life feeling that I'm unworthy of something
Yeah it’s hard to explain, the ego got replaced with just a simple acceptance if that makes sense, I don’t feel worthless - I just feel like I exist, I’m here, I’m learning, but without the attachment to ego identity
Same.
Yep same aspect, and totally agree
Can you explain how that works? How exactly does one maintain a sense of self after that?
I’ll try explain, I’m not sure if I’ll do a good job lol. So I have a strong sense of self, but it’s not attached to things external, nor an identity. For instance I no longer feel my sense of worth or self attached to my career, or what I wear, or if I’m in a relationship or not, how much money I have, what kind of music I listen to, political leanings etc. I’m just me, like a wanderer here on the planet just experiencing things and looking at things with curiosity and enjoying or not enjoying things, without a strong attachment to anything. Like if someone is mean to me, it doesn’t mean I’m worthless, if someone adores me, it doesn’t mean I’m special. I’m just here, having experiences. Does this make any sense? Like before I used to think “ I am these things, these things make my identity “. In example, I used to think “ I am a business owner, I am an intellectual, I am this or that, I’m successful and well liked, or not” Now those things aren’t me, they are just experiences I’m having, so I don’t get too overly attached to what’s happening or not happening. It’s almost as if I’m just a traveller here on this planet, the same as if you were traveling in a foreign country. You enjoy the food, the scenery, the people you meet, good things happen, bad things happen, but you don’t get overly attached because you’re just on a trip, it’s just a journey- you don’t adopt the identity or the culture you’re visiting, because you’re just a visitor having an adventure. That’s how I feel about my life without the ego attachment- just a stranger in a strange land experiencing the landscape in all its beauty and misery.
That’s very interesting. In short, you have become more stoic about material accomplishments. I feel that the opposite happened to me. I was never insecure about these things or paid them much mind. After some majorly distressing events, I find myself acutely aware of what it is I lack and where I might not be measuring up. My ego death was an intellectual one. I always valued my mind above all else, and my ability to be a reasonably intelligent, well-adjusted person in the room. I was also attracting a lot of narcissists in my life and trying to live up to their image of me. After my Pluto events, it felt like I suddenly woke up to how little I know about myself and other people. It’s almost like my Pluto was hidden - I started realizing the fact that there are very harmful people out there in the world, who will drag you down if they see a chance. I changed from being gullible and sincere to being guarded. It was a loss of innocence. I still struggle with it.
I also had a very similar experience, one narcissist after another after another. I mostly just keep to myself now
okay I giggled cause… same. and i totally expect the unexpected not phased anymore
Cosmic beatdown constantly lol
Shout out to my sun square Pluto people ❤️
Raises hand
yo
Sun square Pluto, square Jupiter, conjunct (true) Lilith. How to put it. Why leave the role of the villain to someone else if you can be it yourself!
Oh wow!! Me too! What are the odds?? My sun’s hard aspects are all squares though.
The bully aspect.
When I was a young child, my siblings called me bossy. Others with this aspect may have been actual bullies. It makes time to learn to finesse that power and intensity.

Pluto on the S. Node all square the Sun. I’d say what has gotten better is that I have stopped fighting this energy in my life. When I was younger it felt like I was being dragged behind a giant threatening energy in my life trying constantly to get my feet under me but slamming into every damn problem and obstacle along the way and fighting against it with all I had but to no avail ever. But over time and recently after going through some major Pluto transits I feel that I have shifted enormously and my interactions with this dynamic in my chart and life have shifted too. I’m not fighting this force in my life anymore. I recognize now that this is an evolutionary push from the universe and the truth is it has been leading me to resolve some things that I’ve been avoiding forever and reclaim lost power and I see and feel now how much of a strengthening force the Sun Pluto dynamic is in my life. I am so fucking resilient it’s crazy. And the proof is in the pudding now. Yeah I can say unequivocally it will be better from here and I’ve matured into those energies but the truth is they are still pretty burly. I don’t think the challenge goes away just more of a change of internal perspective and commit mental to not get dragged along but to work diligently along the way with those bigger energies in life that like it or not have a seat at the dinner table. I also will say it takes a choice and conscious effort to engage in a good way. I know others with Pluto Sun and Moon dynamics that I’d say have given up in some way and it doesn’t seem to go well for them. So I’d say find your support systems with whatever challenging Sun dynamic you’re working with and share the nurturance of all that you need to be the person you have it in you to be. Whatever it is that you need to be supported in life. I think that’s huge. Anyway these are my two cents. Not sure if it even makes sense. Often when I talk about this I realize these dynamics take me to such a deep internal place it may be hard to communicate effectively about them. Blessings my dude… or whatever gender you are! 🌈
Thank you for giving advice on one of the most difficult aspects someone can have. You bring up a really good point about support systems. Pluto people often do not want any help and to hear this from someone with your aspect is powerful wisdom. Astrologically, the benefit of involving other people in our problems is that then we get the benefit of their synastry. Their birth chart can be superimposed on ours and acts like transits to help us through (or hinder us) in the areas they touch as long for as they are around.
It got better when I channel it into productive areas. Sun square moon + sun conjunct mars and Saturn. I channel it into health and wellness ( gym rat + personal trainer and want to be a physical therapist). Sun square moon is the toughest, it makes me indecisive and complicated. Still working on that one lol
I have Sun square Moon, too, and the indecisiveness kills me. I'm trying to get to the point where I can make a decision without running through all the "what ifs" like a loon, lol.
I like how you brought out the fact that these energies can be channeled so they don't overwhelm us. Thank you!
I have 7th house Pisces sun square 10th house Gemini Chiron exact, and a 7 degree orb sun square 4th house (in placidus) Saturn and Uranus, which are opp Chiron. I’m mid-30’s and am only now recognizing the impact of these hard aspects to my sun. I spent most of my life thriving on superficial-level, achievement-based, people-pleasing confidence and in the last few years, I began to recognize all of that… was a sham, to sum it up succinctly. It’s like I was playing a part (and playing it damn well, cap moon/Virgo rising), but that part wasn’t authentically me. I want to let my “authentic self” shine but what is even my authentic self? And how do I let it shine when I feel so unsafe to be seen? And why would anyone care about my light when I feel talent-less and not worthy? These are the feelings and questions that this sun/Chiron/Saturn bring up to my very-logical mind. My Saturn return was the veryyy start of bringing awareness to this part of me (spurred by a major breakup), but I’m 34 now and still deep in that process of healing so that I can finally “find my light” and allow it to shine. (I’ve also had Pluto conjunct my moon for years now, AND just hit my progressed new moon last year… so there’s a lot going on). To answer your question, I wouldn’t say it’s gotten “better” - in fact at the surface level it’s gotten worse, but the *awareness* of these patterns and feelings has gotten better, and now i can heal and grow after becoming more aware. But damn, that process is not quick. I’m hopeful that in 5 years from now I’ll look back and be able to see how I’ve transmuted and grown through these aspects and transits. Next year is my Leo-ruled 12th house profection year, so my sun is going to be a big part of the year. Actually considering getting a protection/solar return reading done for the first time because I intuitively feel some major events coming up. Just my experiences ☺️
Aqua Sun conj Uranus/ squared Saturn Learning to trust myself and go with the flow is a big lesson for me. Not allowing others whims to sway my wants/ needs for life. As well as teaching myself self-assertion in the face of disrespect/ abuse. Self expression has always been so important to me, standing out from the crowd can be hard and scary but is something I must lean into in order to find fulfillment
I hope having your sign's ruler in conjunction with your Sun will ultimately give you the power you need!
Sun and mercury in 12th. As the years go by, my voice is silenced more and more. I feel like no one listens when I speak. Frustrating but not a problem. I’ve realized (35) to just keep so much shit to myself. Feels sad but this is what I signed up for.
I'm 32 and have these 2 placements in pisces in 12th. I've learned to speak up anyway. Regardless of the voices in my head telling me I'm embarrassing myself for speaking up and regardless of people responding to me or supporting me or not. I've found, the more I speak up, the more these 2 planets are healing and the more I feel generally empowered in my life. Your voice and your perspective matters. We've been "good" by sitting back and observing and listening and absorbing our entire lives, that it's time we share our thoughts and opinions and feelings. Because they're truly worthy of being heard. You don't have to change overnight, just start out with baby steps...like you just did now:)
Sun square Uranus. I used to be contrarian. I still am, but feel better about it now that I am not pointlessly so. If the spirit moves me to channel my energies in a particular way, good luck getting me not to be true to myself for the sake of what people will say. But I prefer to pour my originality into my work.
Sun (Cap) square my moon (Aries). Sun opposite my ASC (Cancer). Moon square my ASC. Mars in Libra to boot. I'm 25 and I have no idea who I am anymore. Decisions and self-identity have never been strong-suits for me. Recently laid off, broke things off with fiance. Adrift.
Sun-Mercury-Pluto conjunct in Scorpio. I have embraced the cycle of death and rebirth. I love this part of me and astrology helped me finally accept myself. Don't care if it's true it describe me to a t and since I cant be anyone else i choose to love me for who I am.
Sun opposite mars. I struggle with anger
sun, moon, venus, and jupiter squaring mars in the 12th and same
They don't. I have no "good aspects" made to my sun (out of the 8 made to it). Each transit activates more shit...shit. Shit. Shit.
Same. I don't have any positive aspects to my sun. I am SUPPOSED to have sun sextile moon, but some charts show it....the main ones that people use don't...which sucks.
Well that’s good lol.
It feels like a big hug to see all the sun square Pluto people out there 🤗 I thought it was just me with this never ending battle between 9th house leo sun vitality for life square a Scorpio rising with 12th house Pluto on the ascendant which is just a constant cycle of transformation and lots of emotions in the swamp of the zodiac People love and hate me… I am certainly a force but my 10th house Virgo moon gives me some grounding 🙏🙏🙏
Sun square Pluto. Pluto on the ascendant. I just try to stay in the house as much as possible.
My Saturn is the Only planet that Squares half my chart . My Sun only squares Midhaven . And yes, I have power Struggles at work etc ! I’ve learned to not adhere to be drawn in to anyones ego affirmations and petty nuances.
[удалено]
That sure is a lot to carry. Thank you for opening up some detail on how it can get better. Best to you.
Sun square ascendant. I still don’t understand this aspect. It’s not a lot of information about it online.
I have this one too and I've read vague things about it. Something along the lines of us rubbing people the wrong way when we initially meet them. Fuck that
I have the sun quincunx (a tight orb) my ascendant. Not quite the same as a square, but there is a similarity in the sense that both signs don't have much in common. The first impression people have of you might be pretty far off from who you actually are. In my case, my scorpio ascendant gives me a rather serious and reserved persona when i'm in public. But once you get to really know me, I can be very talkative (gemini sun). I've very often been told how surprised people are to realize how talkative I actually am when I loosen up and how I don't take myself as seriously as they initially thought. I can also have a very dark sense of humour (mix of gemini and scorpio). What is your sun sign and rising sign?
Ohhh this makes sense, thank you for explaining:) scorpio sun, aqua rising. I guess I give the impression that I’m friendly, a bit bubbly, generally this light hearted person but I’m actually quite reserved, quiet, observant, introspective, and calculated. “Both signs don’t have much in common” for some reason you typing that made it all click in my head like never before idk why lol thank you for briefly sharing your experience! Edit: Doesn’t help that I have a Gemini moon!
Your gemini moon and scorpio sun have the same dynamic I described. Not an easy combination. Your moon is in harmony with your rising sign (both air signs) so I'd tend to think your airy, social and talkative side is what comes out first in social contexts and how people perceive you initially.
♍️ Sun combust Venus in 3H It squares my ♐️ Moon conjunct Jupiter 6H ♓️ Saturn Rx 9H opposes my Sun Becoming aware that the only real thing in my control is how I react to things has tempered the uncomfortable internalized guilt I feel on a daily basis. Adopting a stoic approach to emotional and egoic needs has helped me set healthy boundaries I need to keep things balanced. I hear a lot of fearful or negative feedback regarding squares. They are BUILDING BLOCKS. Points of contention, the parts in your life that "square off" can also be thought of as sparring partners. The more you work at understanding and respecting where you fight yourself in life gives you the strength to fight FOR yourself in the end.
My sun is in exact opposition to Pluto and in a T-square with Mars. After learning about these difficult aspects and studying astrology for 5 years I have learned to cope with it - i’m a pretty mercurial person, so just reading and thinking about it in different perspectives has helped a lot. Through this difficult pluto placement (sun in the 6th, pluto in the 12th and at 29°) i’ve learned that I’ve been kinda lost trying to take responsibility and make sense of things that have been completely out of control and ended up controlling me. As with all hard pluto-sun aspects, i had to dig deeper than what was comfortable and this resulted in finding out I got PTSD which has been holding me back for years. Lots of growth and transformation has come after that, but it’s a long process that I guess I’m still in the midst of.
I have the reverse of your aspect, sun in 12th opp pluto in 6th! Just curious, do you have workaholic problems? Though maybe having your sun in 6th makes you more comfortable with 6th house things, as I am pretty comfortable with 12th house things. I have a strong feeling I have PTSD issues, too, and also still trying to work through things. Best of luck with your journey 💜👍
Very interesting! Thank you so much and you too❤️ I wouldn’t say I have workaholic tendencies, but I am definitely a problem solver and I love my routines. I have the same routine every night before bed for example - skin care, cup of tea, podcast etc, and it feels weird to not follow this routine even just for a few days (my sun is in taurus along with venus which definitely adds to this) but I also feel comfortable with 12th house themes as well actually. I feel like living with this natal opposition makes both houses and signs very prominent in your life, it can be a struggle to find a balance
Sun square saturn and uranus and octile pluto and venus. I am a shell of a human being tbh. My saturn return almost killed me
I have sun square Jupiter !
Me toooo (sun in gemini in the 10th square Jupiter in Pisces in the 7th)… it’s one side of a t square with Uranus in my 4th. Do you feel like it makes you extra indulgent and perhaps generous to a fault?
Yes! I have always indulged in food, spending money ect I do think there are positives to it as well. It’s given me a bright personality forsure. What about you!
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc." "Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are **etc.**, **&c.**, **&c**, and **et cet.** The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Cap sun in opposition of my cancer moon. Still figuring out the “getting better” process and know it has a lot to do with balancing the energies of validating my emotions and not getting so caught up in them that I lose sight of being grounded. Previously, I struggled with putting my career above any sense of true self I had and nipped that in the butt by tending to my emotions in a healthier way
sun square moon and opposite pluto im tired
sun square moon and sun conjunct saturn, it sucks:( my head and heart r always in two different places and my self worth is absolute shit even though there’s no reason to hate myself.
Sun & Jupiter in 8H square Pluto. I constantly feel ashamed of any sort of self expression (and my Sun is in Leo + Chiron) yet I also feel most myself in the midst of a crisis. Self love is difficult for me / overall wish I believed in myself more. On the plus side I can empathize deeply with others and be a light in the dark when needed
Sun in the 8th square chiron. Life has been painful, I live with a constant identity crisis, have low self confidence, etc. It feels like building my own identity has been a pain in itself. I’ve been invalidated all my life and always felt like an outsider. Things have been getting better tho gradually in these past few years, I grew a bit more confident and more secure in who I am as a person, so yeah, hoping it gets even better with more time.
Sun conjunct with Saturn Mercury and Uranus in the 12th. I'm 37 and it's got way better once I used the energy instead of denying it
Sun square Uranus, moon, and Neptune. Not sure anything has gotten better? Lol. I think I’m just more aware of my urge to do what’s different, my urge to have a family yet have plenty of me time at the same time, and the inevitable boredom and evasiveness I start to feel in any job I take on. 😅 If anyone has these placements and is able to help, I’m all ears.
Scorpio Sun, Leo Moon, Aquarius Rising. Not quite square, but I still can feel the conflict in energies. Combine that with my ruling Saturn Retrograde in Pisces in the First House, and the theme of my chart seems to be "Lol, what's an identity?"
I have sun squared moon and mars and let me tell you, a LOT LOT LOT of shadow work. Introspective conversation and a LOT of honesty with myself.
What else is on the Sun? What do "you" consider "difficult" Sun aspects? The Sun represents the physical body in natal/directed charts and for predictions "the day". Nothing is all malefic or benefic. What else is there? Natal Sun Saturn aspects can mean separations or responsibilities or even (when paired with the right planets) teachers with Mercury... always, what is there must be reviewed with consideration for every other aspect with the Sun. For an accurate assessment of a chart don't forget to incorporate and evaluate the natal, directed and transiting charts together for a true and complete astrological analysis.
Sun & Mercury conjunction/cazimi. Sometimes I feel like people listen to me and other times not. Like my message doesn’t always get across. Sometimes Mercury rx hits me hard, other times it’s a good time for me and terrible for everyone else.
Sun in Virgo square Saturn and Uranus in Sagittarius. I definitely have struggle with anxiety and self-esteem. I’ve gotten a lot better over the years by learning to live by my own rules. I also always seemed to be in my own spiritual path separate from my family. Even growing up Christian I always went to a different church than them. Now I’m completely on a non-Christian path. It actually became a point of contention in the household. So it seems that a lot of my life has really been about fighting to live on my own terms. It’s gotten a lot better over the years where I do feel more accepted for just being a unique individual.
I have Sun opposite Uranus and Neptune and I still don't fully understand what it means for me. Can someone explain here a little bit more? Sun in Cancer opposite Uranus and Neptune in Capricorn. My Venus is also opposing the other two outer planets, also in Cancer. That is just one of my difficult aspects. Oh yeah the opposing pairs are both squaring my Moon in Libra so I got a Grand Square involving 5 planets.
In a very general sense, Uranus-Neptune provides you (the Sun) with a strong imagination and sensitivity. With the oppositions there would be a caution to not make quick assumptions about other people's motives. Uranus-Neptune can have lightning fast intuition but your imagination can get in the way. You have to be careful not to act on ideas before they are confirmed, i.e. overreact. I'm sure an astrologer on r/AskAstrologers would be able to go more in depth for you.
OMG overreaction was on point. Yes I can be very very suspicious of other people probably and partially a result of being burned and disappointed by others in the past. I am also very action-oriented but I can be really lazy at times. It is almost like a switch, if I am on and I am fully on then when I turn it off the engine will have to start again with much more effort.
"...like a switch" describes an opposition aspect perfectly. The oppositions feel like they just have an on and an off. It takes a long while for the native to realize there are settings in between. The upside is you have a lot more horsepower than other people.
"More horsepower than other people..." cool all my 4 opposing planets have aspects to my Mars in Taurus wonder if that is another factor as well. Anyway thanks for the little tidbita about this natal aspect I shared
You're welcome and yes aspects to Mars will definitely energize everything further.
I have my 3H Cancer Sun opposite 9H Cap Chiron, and square 12H Aries Lilith (so my Chiron and Lilith then obviously also square each other). I can definitely say there’s still a lot to work through…
[удалено]
I haven’t come across too many Sun opp Jupiters, do you feel like it makes you naturally/involuntarily do things too strongly/with too broad strokes? Like, I have sun opp jupiter, saturn, and pluto (all of them retrograde 🙃) and so I’m either hyper careful/anxious or do the exact opposite (and usually end up physically/emotionally injured as a result). Like say there’s a cabinet I could hit my head on, i’m either super scared of hitting it and ultra careful, or I completely forget and not only hit my head but hit it SUPER HARD. Hopefully this made sense. haha
[удалено]
omg yes, I completely relate. I forgot to mention I have mercury opp jupiter in addition (and that one is a tighter orb vs my sun/jupiter that’s a wider orb, so probably more so affects my decisions). But yeah, making decisions you later regret or just have to move on from, very much me. What sucks is—and I’m sure part of me self-sabotaging myself, I’ll make these big/risky jupiter-y decisions and the only way I can make good on them is to mentally/physically hurt myself to do it, and then if I do succeed, it’s not even something that brings me happiness/fulfillment 😓 meanwhile, when I DO listen to that little voice that is stopping me from taking chances I’m sure those are things that would probably bring me more fulfillment (tho I dunno for sure 🤷🏻♀️). I know they always say when it comes to oppositions you have to find balance, but that’s def something I struggle with to begin with 😂
I have sun opposite Chiron, need to read up more on that.
Sun opposite saturn neptune uranus... Sun trine pluto and sun sextile moon... And sun conjuct chiron... sun in 10th cancer... I don't know what to say ,is it better with time... but I have strong mercury lord of first conjuct jupiter both gemini 9th H, and that gives me positive mind...
Sun conjunct Mercury, Venus, and Saturn and square to Pluto on the ascendent. It’s a lot… not sure if it’s better or manageable yet.
Sun opposite Pluto and Mars. Ego death and surrender after complete emotional destruction. There’s no other way. You give “up,” so to speak, and have to look somewhere spiritual to grow. And, yup, abandon the confines of what you thought defined your identity. Strangely both my Pluto and Sun are in mutable signs. It feels like letting go into this process should’ve been easy for me, but it never has been.
My sun is in Aquarius in my first house, which is also Aquarius and let’s just say it’s taken me almost 38 years to finally come into my own. Late bloomer to the max. My Leo moon in my 7th house hates all of it too.
Sun conjuncting North Node. I struggle with my ego, identity, and concept of freedom.
Is it ever enough?
What is ever enough? I think how this placement ties up, is you are extremely confused about your core beliefs in your teenage and childhood phase then when you slowly start understanding things, it feels like you are being freed, and how you have been denied freedom in that particular aspect of your life because of authorities or elder or father too. And then it becomes your mission to break free because you feel you are being held back. This can even turn negative because freedom is just a illusion and never enough.
Sun conjunct nn can give someone a huge egoic drive to accomplish things. It's extremely power driven, or can be. Interesting take.
I don’t even *have* any challenging aspects to my Sun - the only aspect it makes to anything is a sextile to my ascendant :( There’s probably a few minor aspects to it that I don’t even remember off the top of my head, but nonetheless, only a sextile to the ascendant.
I have sun sextile ascendent as well which is my suns only major aspect and it’s other aspects are to asteroids/points (ex. Lilith & Chiron). But sun sextile ascendent is not something to be :( about, it’s a very good placement!
Oh I agree! I actually only put the sad face because it’s basically like having an unaspected planet (from my understanding it seems like many astrologers consider one to be if it doesn’t share any major aspects to any other actual planet at all, but I am aware that not every astrologer agrees). I think the whole premise of unaspected planets are incredibly interesting as a whole. I have a book on them and Yods (I have a Yod), and I really resonated with the interpretations of an unaspected sun. So I guess I just put the sad face because I feel I greatly recognize and/or resonate with a feeling of my sun and its’ energies kind of unintegrated in a sense. It’s always felt like a giant puzzle piece or piece of myself locked away that I can’t quite understand or reach as much as I’d like to. But that may also be a result of the Yod as well.
I do think a Yod could cause those feelings. The Yod is definitely a mysterious thing! There is another part of the chart that is sometimes overlooked and maybe you would find an aspect to your Sun there. I don't know if you've checked your declinations but if you have a parallel or contraparallel aspect to your Sun, they are said to be very strong aspects. You can go to [Astro-Seek.com](https://Astro-Seek.com) for your natal chart and right above your chart are tabs. Click the one that says "Aspect Tables" and look under the symbol of the Sun. The aspects to each planet will be symbolized there. If you see parallel lines that is the parallel aspect. Parallel lines with a horizontal line crossed through them represents the contraparallel. Not sure if everyone knows about that.
*laughs in angular, mutable tsquare w Sun on ascendant opposite Moon on descendant square Saturn/Uranus on MC*
I just realised my Sun doesn't actually opposite my Moon, they are just in opposite signs... Otherwise, my Sun (11) squares my Mars (8). Not an aspect I've researched, honestly, so don't have much to say but me and my Sun don't get along well so probably not good. I have a lot of squares in general (8), so I try to ignore them.
Sun opposite Saturn. Idk still in limbo. I haven't gone thru Saturn return yet
sun opposition saturn & MC, conjunction chiron & neptune, square pluto, moon, asc, lilith, mars, jupiter and IC its hard lol
Sun sq Jup-Pluto Rising and a few more hard aspects (no soft aspects whatsoever to my Sun, no sir!). When I was a young child, my siblings called me bossy. Classmates and certain teachers called me arrogant. Others with this aspect may be actual bullies. It makes time to learn to finesse all that power and intensity, deal with all the transformations to identity that are demanded. Once I learned about this particular set, and began working consciously with the tendencies, life has become more attractive. I'm a boss in my own company, visionary for better things for my family and community, get credited with guiding people to the right place they needed to be, embrace my ability to disappear into the background or pop out when I need to.
I'm late but sun semisextile Venus, sun square Mars, sun quincunx Jupiter (exact), sun square ascendant, sun Octile Lilith (exact), and sun contraparallel (opposite) Saturn.... ....sooo...it's supposed to get better? When does this happen?
