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.

There’s a sense of competition in the relationship. You may frequently try to outshine each other. Instead of cheering each other on, you may feel threatened by your partner’s success.

You may also have different approaches to life, decision-making, and self-expression. Each may stubbornly hold onto your perspectives, so compromising can be tough.

Sun Trine Sun Synastry

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

You both realize that the relationship with yourself is one of the most important relationships in your life. Self-knowledge means recognizing your life is a reflection of who you are.

You not only appreciate each other’s wisdom, but you also respect each other’s father. Or perhaps you can resonate well with one another’s “mature self”.

This aspect enhances natural understanding between you. Your identities, life goals, and motivations are likely compatible. You’re like two heads living in one body.

Sun Opposite Sun Synastry

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

In this bond, you’re constantly aware of your opposite self. Your partner may represent someone you’re not, but in your differences lie the lesson of harmony.

However, you might often find yourselves locked in power struggles, each trying to pull the relationship in your preferred direction. You tend to dominate rather than cooperate. Self-centeredness can create friction between you.
