Sun-Sun Synastry Aspects
Disclaimer: Astrology suggests possibilities and potentials. For a deeper understanding of your chart, check out my comprehensive list of synastry aspects.
Sun Conjunct Sun Synastry
With Sun conjunct Sun synastry, you share similar personalities, interests, basic motivations, and general outlook on life. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding.
This aspect often makes the relationship feel natural and easy. You enjoy doing similar things and can find a great deal in common. You may have aligned life purposes or visions, making it easier to pursue common goals.
Your birthdays are likely within 10 days apart. Each person’s energy and creativity stimulate the other’s. The relationship supports both people’s sense of self and personal growth.
The main challenge of this aspect is the potential for power struggles. Since the Sun rules the ego, you may face issues with dominance or competition in the relationship.
Sun Sextile/Trine Sun Synastry
With Sun sextile/trine Sun synastry, there’s harmony between your basic approaches to life, personal styles, and general attitudes. You energize each other with your creativity and liveliness.
The sextile offers a chance for cooperation and encouragement, while with the trine, teamwork and support come naturally. You share many interests and enjoy pursuing the same goals together.
Sun sextile/trine Sun synastry is a classic indicator of a strong friendship component in any relationship. There’s a light, easy, and companionable energy between you.
You can see your strengths and weaknesses reflected in your partner. This is a relationship where you get to recognize other aspects of yourself.
Sun Square/Opposite Sun Synastry
With Sun square/opposite Sun synastry, you may have different lifestyles, preferences, temperaments, and general approaches to life. There can be competition, jealousy, and ego clashes in the relationship.
You may try to outshine each other or commandingly assert personal power. One person’s leadership, moral code, or self-expression can intimidate the other.
The opposition tends to be less conflicting than the square, because it suggests attraction and the ability to complement your contrasting personalities. Research on the horoscopes of married couples also shows that squares frequently appear in discordant marriages, while sextiles are common in harmonious ones.1
The differences between the two Suns can feel stimulating, as each person demonstrates qualities the other lacks, sparking intrigue or fascination despite the clashes. The relationship highlights the parts of your own ego and personal expression that need to be adjusted or matured to accommodate your partner.
