Natal Sun Opposition Aspects

Square is a conflict that needs to be solved. Opposition are challenges that need balance. Oppositions can also create a lot of vitality. 

Sun Opposite Moon: Much like a square, the Suns needs/wants and Moons needs/wants can conflict. An opposition can find balance easier than Squares. They might have greater sensitivity to their internal conflicts. The opposition focuses more on environment and being torn on how to interact with it or be comfortable in it.

Sun Opposite Mars: This creates competitiveness, aggression, a “me-first” attitude, and general combativeness in the Sun. With the Square there was excess energy and aggression. With the opposition an inner heat is being shared due to the struggles of the Sun-Mars. The identity and ego doesn't know how to handle the drive.

Sun Opposite Jupiter:  There are themes with sincerity here and it is useful to see which signs/polarity are at odds. Aries-Libra can struggle with honesty vs. tact. Aquarius-Leo may give into sharing grandiose visions, big stories, put on an act, or brag. You can look for excess in one's life involving the opposing signs or houses.

Sun Opposite Saturn:  Saturn censors and represses the Sun much like the Square does, however this is a tug-of-war action rather than complete conflict (which is much of oppositions). There are always lessons and challenges with Saturn but with this aspect, Saturn is challenging the Sun in a way that demands to be balanced. i.e. Leo Sun with Aquarius Saturn might need to balance the demands of the self vs. others or involved/center stage vs. detached/observer.

Sun Opposite Uranus: Change is halted or out of control for this individual. Progress is always met with blockages or chaos. Can have a love/hate relationship with their individuality. One must come to terms with their individuality and with change. Many times Uranus overtakes the Sun in Square, with Opposition Uranus is sending messages to the Sun, pushing the emphasis on individuality. (Not a rule by any means, but a common phenomenon)

Sun Opposite Neptune: Neptune blurs the identity OR the Sun has a hard time reaching their intuition and subconscious. Has a hard time seeing reality for what it really is, this can mean easily being fooled by others and not reading people's intentions or escaping from practicality. This is a sensitive individual who finds it hard to understand that sensitivity. The ego and intuitive self need to meet and embrace each other.

Sun Opposite Pluto: Self-destruction, hard to satisfy, passion and indifference constantly battling, and fears involved with the possible polarity of the signs consume here! Balance is important to the oppositions, take a moment to look at the House for this aspect. The House in which Pluto is in may be key to an area of release that is helpful in building balance. Creativity may be a good place to start in dissecting these two powerful forces.

Sun Opposite Ascendant: Insecurities surrounding the Rising can exist, one could easily be pushed around, and one could see their identity go against society, their own spirituality, and authority.  A bigger manifestation is feeling disconnected from one's Rising and how they come off to others. They may rely too much on others to define themselves. There is more of a focus on getting to know the Rising and embracing it.

Sun Opposite Midheaven: One's identity might not match up to their ambition somehow and/or their ambition/goals and personality/ego are always at odds. Can get distracted from goals easily with what the ego wants. One's career will have a direct impact on the health of the ego, even if they are at odds. This can make things frustrating and one might avoid their goals.

Sun Opposite North Node: While the ego can stand in the way of growth, there is an association with fear of the unknown, fear of changing the identity, and fear of expression that gets in the way of growth.

Sun Opposite Chiron: Traits of the Sun and Chiron are vital for healing. An Aries Sun may never find contentment until it understands cooperation and overcome relationship or self love wounds from a Libra Chiron. Libra Chiron may need help of the Sun’s self focus to overcome issues. This aspect can indicate that wounds are closer to the identity and are especially evident in the possible polarity/differences of the signs. Taurus Sun could have a calm exterior but trauma associated with Scorpio Chiron makes them guarded and suspicious, they pull back even from their earthy Sun traits.

Sun Opposite Juno: The ego is at odds with how one becomes attached. The Sun essentially could get in the way somehow with relationships, especially long-term/serious ones. This person can also feel held back in love. This feeling is coming from frustration between Sun-Juno.

Sun Opposite Ceres: May always be too busy taking care of others to care for self OR is overly demanding in the nurturing they receive. But there is introspective power here, if Ceres and Sun can be balanced this person has a lot to teach others in healing and caring.

Sun Opposite Vesta: Escaping stresses on the ego will be hard. What helps them to relax and reflect may surprise others or even themselves. Diving into emotions, spirituality, or mental exercises helps maintain the ego/the self.

Sun Opposite Pallas: Impostor syndrome may be here just like the Square, but even more so they have a hard time getting others to recognize their skills and talents. Their conflicts of identity vs. skill can seem impossible to balance at times. There can be a lot of will behind their talents or knowledge. They will need to work harder and scream louder to be recognized.

Sun Opposite Lilith: Oppositions can actually harness vitality between two opposing placements, and here in the Lilith this is very true. This is a powerful placement with intense negativity but also intense overcoming. The Sun won't know how to control the wildness of their Lilith. Pay attention to the empowerment Lilith in theory can bring, this has potential to "liberate" the Sun.

[astro-hotline]

After reading a book called ‘The Maze Runner’ I realized one concept from the book can really be applied to astrology. Killzone patterns,otherwise known as brain patterns, are brought out based on different experiences/emotions. We have to remember that different things bring out different sides of the different aspects in your chart. I experienced moving around when I was younger, which is something I attribute to Aquarius in the 4th house. Another factor of Aquarius in the 4th is that one is not very close with family or they do not feel like they have a home. I feel exactly the opposite; I am very close with family and know exactly what I consider home. If I had experienced a more turbulent childhood with a lot of traveling and no affection from my parents, then I could have potentially felt as though I was not close with family. Different patterns produce different sides of your chart aspects. That’s why astrology is so interesting. The variety of combinations in a chart are endless as well as the outside factors that could affect how that chart is expressed.
