Sun Conjunct Mars Synastry
Sun conjunct Mars synastry can make for an active, enthusiastic, and lively relationship. You have a motivating and encouraging influence on each other.
The Sun can give direction to Mars’ action, while Mars can stimulate the Sun’s courage, confidence, and ambition. There’s a good deal of energy, passion, and healthy competition between you.
Sun-Mars conjunction is an aspect of sexual chemistry and physical attraction. You benefit from doing physical activities and sports together.
You’re upfront and straightforward with each other. You push each other to succeed, and you respect each other’s independence and autonomy.
However, you both can be strong-willed. Mars can come across as hostile or argumentative, while the Sun may seem self-centered or dominating.
One wrong action can irritate and challenge both people. You should ensure that arguments remain focused on the issue instead of devolving into personal attacks.
Sun Sextile/Trine Mars Synastry
Sun sextile/trine Mars synastry can indicate a dynamic, active, and exciting connection. You push each other to succeed and achieve goals together.
Your energy levels and approach to action are likely compatible. You take turns to lead the relationship, and any competition is usually friendly and motivating.
In love, Sun sextile/trine Mars synastry can suggest a powerful sexual attraction. Where there are physical activities between you, one person’s physical strength can easily turn the other on.
The Sun’s lively and childlike spirit can ignite Mars’ passion, and vice versa. The Sun often feels more empowered and expressive, while Mars feels validated and energized.
Like Sun-Venus aspects, harmonious connections between the Sun and Mars are often found in married couples. Sun-Mars aspects can bring directness, honesty, and enthusiasm into any connection.
Sun Square/Opposite Mars Synastry
With Sun square/opposite Mars synastry, you may struggle to take orders from each other. You dislike being told what to do and don’t respond well to each other’s authority.
The Sun may see Mars as domineering or unruly, while Mars may view the Sun as conceited or stubborn. Mars may fight with the Sun to gain more control over decision-making, while the Sun may see Mars’ impatience and jealousy as barriers to effective action.
You tend to express yourselves aggressively where there’s tension, resentment, or competition between you. Sun square/opposite Mars synastry can lead to conflicts about independence.
You may have different drives or methods when it comes to pursuing goals. It’s not uncommon for you to feel provoked and challenged by each other.
Romantically, there can be an intense sexual attraction, but it can be an expression of lust. Your sexual life may lack gentleness and important boundaries.
You both want to win, but for the relationship to work, you should learn to lose and let the connection win instead. Remember, being kind heals better than being right.
