You can motivate each other to shine bright just like the sun. You can celebrate each other’s birthday as if it is your own. Through one another, you can see another version of yourself.

You both may focus much on self-improvement. Self-improvement is not selfish. You can empower each other to improve yourselves not for personal gain, but for the higher purposes that led you to be born in this world.

Sun Sextile Sun Synastry

Sun Square Sun Synastry

With Sun square Sun synastry, your egos may not like each other. You may have different life goals, moral standards, and values.

No two suns can rise in the same sky, so there can be competition in the relationship. You may try to outshine each other. Instead of cheering each other on, you may feel threatened by your partner’s success.

You can clash when it comes to who makes decisions. Each may stubbornly hold onto your perspectives, so compromising can be tough.

Sun Trine Sun Synastry

With Sun trine Sun synastry, you can help each other become more self-aware. You can remind one another to “know thyself”, because knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom.¹

You both will learn that the relationship with yourself is the most important relationship in your life. Self-knowledge means recognizing your partner/life is a reflection of who you are.

You may not only appreciate each other’s wisdom, but you can also encourage each other’s ambitions. You can celebrate small victories and offer big support during setbacks.

This aspect can enhance natural understanding between you. You can share identities, life goals, and moral values.

As the Sun represents your father, you can respect each other’s father too. Or perhaps you can resonate well with one another’s mature self.

Sun Opposite Sun Synastry

With Sun opposite Sun synastry, you are attracted to each other’s differences. You’re trying to balance your life goals, values, and sense of identity.

In this bond, you’re constantly aware of your opposite self. You will have the opportunity to observe yourself from the outside. Your partner may represent someone you’re not, but in your differences lie the lesson of harmony.

But you might often find yourselves locked in power struggles, each trying to pull the relationship in your preferred direction. You may compete rather than complete, compare rather than compromise, and complain rather than comfort. Self-centeredness can create friction between you.
