Sun Conjunct Pluto Synastry
With Sun conjunct Pluto synastry, you can completely change each other’s lifestyles if your connection is deep enough. You help each other shed toxic aspects of yourselves that no longer serve your growth.
The Sun can illuminate Pluto’s destructive tendencies, especially those related to anger, stubbornness, obsession, or addiction. Pluto may seem unwilling to accept the Sun’s feedback at first, but gradually, Pluto will change.
When not handled well, Pluto may use subtle manipulation to influence the Sun’s behaviors and choices. Pluto can become obsessively focused on the Sun, driven by a strong need to possess, control, or analyze the Sun.
The Sun can feel that Pluto’s caution stifles their natural self-expression. The Sun’s attempts to assert themselves can be met with grumpy, resentful, or violent reactions from Pluto.
When handled well, you can safely share secrets or hidden parts of yourselves with each other. There’s an inherent sense of trust here, and you understand each other’s underlying motives behind actions.
Between opposite sexes, you can feel a powerful magnetism. The Sun can feel intrigued by Pluto’s mysterious aura, while Pluto can intuitively sense the Sun’s hidden depth.
Sun Sextile/Trine Pluto Synastry
In astrology, the Sun represents the conscious mind, while Pluto symbolizes the subconscious force. With Sun sextile/trine Pluto synastry, the Sun can help Pluto live more consciously, while Pluto’s behaviors can reveal to the Sun their unconscious patterns.
In other words, the Sun can recognize the hidden, destructive aspects of themselves in Pluto, and guide Pluto to a healthier path. The Sun can motivate Pluto to break free from their old identity, to let go of the past and move toward a bright future.
Pluto respects the Sun’s integrity and direction. Around the Sun, Pluto can feel more driven to become a better person, because Pluto’s darkness gains wisdom under the Sun’s light.
Instead of demanding control, Pluto has a subtle, positive influence over the Sun. Pluto can see the Sun’s untapped potential and provide the necessary insight to help the Sun realize it.
As a couple, you can naturally share secrets and vulnerabilities while feeling an innate sense of acceptance. This level of trust creates an incredible depth and intimacy between you.
Sun Square/Opposite Pluto Synastry
One big issue with Sun square/opposite Pluto synastry is the inevitable conflict over control, often subtle and psychological rather than overt.
The Sun can see their past, destructive self in Pluto, so the Sun often feels compelled to prevent Pluto from making the same mistakes. This spells an ego death for Pluto, whose reactions tend to be obstinate, grumpy, or resentful toward the Sun.
On the other hand, Pluto may also force change on the Sun, which the Sun strongly resists. In fact, you both dislike being corrected by each other. You need more gentleness and forgiveness, and avoid psychological games when pointing out each other’s mistakes.
Pluto may develop an intense fixation on the Sun, motivated by a desire to analyze the Sun. The Sun may see Pluto’s wariness as a threat to their autonomy.
If your relationship is without competition or jealousy, there will be mutual empowerment instead of mutual destruction. Every so often, you’ll be tested on how loyal and patient you are with each other.
