Relationships - Understanding Charts: Lesson Two (Sun) Pt.1
Here we are in Relationships - Understanding Charts: Lesson Two (Sun). This is part one to the series. As for the next few lessons I'm going to be walking through planet by planet, and looking at the intersections between each planet and its aspect with the other nine.
As it stands there's going be a lot of writing for me to do, but hey that's what I do best. So to start out with this we are going to be looking at the aspects of the Sun today, and how those relate through the different aspects and really start building up that understanding of what you are looking at.
So as a reminder, there are five aspects that we are going to be looking at in depth. That's conjunction, opposition, trine, square, and sextile.
These are the strongest aspects, and depending on the planets and which planets they relate to affects how it shows in the personality of the given person. This also breaks down further by zodiac signs the planets are in- but that's a lot of writing, and that's gonna take some time.
So for now we are going to look at brief overviews, and circle back around to it when I get it written down. So kick back, grab your favorite drink, a notepad, whatever you need and lets get into it- shall we?
The Moon
Conjunction - 0° ~ 9°
When you look at the sun in conjunction with the moon, the relationship is going to be a fairly neutral one. They support one another and bring on the traits of the zodiac sign to the fullest extent. They alight one another. It's a true blending of the conscious and subconscious. They work in harmony where your inner drives are fully realized and understood in perfect harmony. Making it very easy for you to achieve your passions.
Opposition - 180° ~ 8°
This is a hard relationship. Your ego is at odds with your subconscious. It's like having a constant argument with yourself. You may want to be more extroverted for example, but your mind can't rationalize it or find value in it. Instead deciding it may be better to stay inside. It's a battle of trying to find that balance of want versus need, and breaking down that fear of not trusting your inner desires.
Trine - 120° ~ 6°
The desires of your ego flow through easily in this aspect. It becomes more easily understood what you want to do, and offers a different position on how you are going to achieve it. For example If you have a fire sun in Leo, and a Sagittarius moon, that drive that you bring to your life in your desires is going to take on with a growth mindset. Displaying yourself as someone who can fully appreciate the world surrounding you, and can gain a mass following of people seeing your desires and wanting it for themselves.
Square - 90° ~ 5°
Then you have your square aspect. Another challenging aspect. Imagine having too much of the same personality in the same room. It bounces off of one another, and can cause a lot of headaches. Especially if they're faced in opposite directions. Take that same Leo sun and pair it with a Scorpio moon. You want to shine, be out there, and achieve your passions, but you have your Scorpio moon telling you to slow it down- don't reveal anything yet. While this can be beneficial in helping you keep to yourself in important notions... it can severely hold you back in the same manner. You have something you need to do- and it's up to you to work through this roadblock.
Sextile - 60° ~ 3°
Lastly, there is Sextile. This is another harmonious aspect. Having the Sun Sextile moon is going to allow you to work through your ego, and figure out a way to make that happen for you, in a (albeit strong) easier to digest way. Your desires are fulfilled more easily, if not in the way you would typically expect. Let's take our Leo sun again shall we? Pair that desire with the diplomacy and evened out emotions of a Libra- and you're in business. You'll be able to work out how to get those desires without stepping on too many heads, and in a more diplomatic way. Processing how you can achieve something without the need for any harsh or rude mentality.
Due to the length of this post, I will be breaking this into multiple parts for the Tumblr. format. If you would like all access to the full post you can check it out here.
I hope you are having a wonderful Monday, and stay tuned through the rest of the week for more astrology based content.
Stay groovy, and I'll catch you on the flip,

Relationships - Understanding Charts: Lesson Two (Sun) Pt. 4
My apologies for missing yesterday, but I've got Jupiter for you today so strap in!
if you want access to the full content, I have the post fully available on my website!
In our continuation of this series we have Relationships - Understanding Charts: Lesson Two (Sun). The first part in reading charts.
Conjunction - 0° ~ 7°
Take the largest planet in the solar system, and then pair it with arguably one of the most important. When you have a Jupiter and Sun conjunction you are going to find someone who has a larger than life personality (especially if they're in Leo). You're going to find someone who has no issues channeling their desires and inner wants and figuring out how to expand them. They might be incredibly philosophical, and endearing when it comes to having in-depth conversations about their passions.
Opposition - 180° ~ 6°
You tend to spend a lot don't you? Falling into ruts of "well I deserve a treat-". This can be a challenging aspect in the way that you may have an over-inflated sense of self worth and desire to please yourself. Your desires aren't lining up with the growth that you need to undertake. You may feel as though you've been dealt a bad hand and can't catch a break. But as all things tnd to do- eventually we end up figuring this out. Looking at the signs in this position can help point you in the direction for where you are trying to grow, and then where your desires lay. If this is figured out you can try to find a path to peace, and it can help bolster that luck and growth.
Trine - 120° ~ 5°
You ever feel like you pass through life with like, nothing going wrong? You may have this aspect. There's a lack of feeling the struggles of life- or even the necessity to grow. Because- it's already been handed to you and you're just that lucky. It's as if there's someone looking down on you giving you a big thumbs up and saying "Ok!" whenever you figure out there's something you need. While this is overall a very good aspect to have, you also need to pay attention to where that jupiter is- so that way you can expand that growth and fall into more than you need. Try to grow instead of letting it happen passively.
Square- 90° ~ 4°
This is an interesting one. Not because you're unlucky. More or less because you do have some good fortune. Things work out- but not in the ways one would really expect. Take it this way- a square follows into our quadruplicities meaning we have some shared traits with the sign we're squaring off against. So really- if you are finding that your luck isn't super favorable or you want more, all you have to do is lay the groundwork to achieve it. If you want the success that Jupiter offers- you need to work for it.
Sextile- 60° ~ 3°
With this type of aspect in your chart you may be more predisposed to following the rules. Having an internal compass towards fairness and what's right. This is what ends up following your path towards growth and fortune. Your desires are easily understood by Jupiter and the path to growth flows easily. It might not be as forthcoming as a trine, but you carry a similar air of self-importance, and things seem to come more easily for you.
That's what we have for today, stay tuned in for the next post coming up tomorrow covering the Sun aspecting Saturn!

Relationships - Understanding Charts: Lesson Two (Sun) Pt. 7
Here we go the Sun and Neptune, the song and dance? Their relationships, I.E aspects and what those look like.
If you would like to skip ahead to tomorrow and read about Pluto (or any of the other planets), I have the full post available on my website!
In our continuation of this series we have Relationships - Understanding Charts: Lesson Two (Sun). The first part in reading charts.
Conjunction 0° ~ 5°
You may feel disconnected from yourself with this kind of placement. With Neptune being a higher vibrational planet that thrives off the daydreaming, creativity and getting lost in thought and philosophy. However, this can be combated through the pursual of those kinds of arts, and getting creative. You may find that you have a strong desire to pursue more artistic dreams, and lose yourself within them. Thus losing yourself in relationships, and you tend to meld into your surrounding scenery.
Opposition 180° ~ 4°
An interesting position to have. It helps find an interesting type of complexity to your personality. Not only are you more sure of yourself- but you also lose that sense of identity because you find it hard to let yourself dream. When you lose that passion to dream it makes it really hard to manifest your desires. Likewise, you might find yourself in a situation where you are consistently allowing yourself to dream, and you can't get out of it- things falling in and out of your hands. Leading to an existence where you're prone to let yourself get taken advantage of because you are searching for an escape in the wrong people.
Trine 120° ~ 3°
Having this kind of trine in your chart, can lead to a strong sensitivity that can usually only be seen in Pisces (because Neptune is ruled by Pisces). It comes as naturally as breathing, and sometimes you lose sight of that. The sheer amount of empathy that you have for others is something that you often take for granted because it such a second nature. You often align yourself with ideals and movements where you feel as though you can make the most change.
Square 90° ~ 2°
Ahhhh, life has been unfair to you hasn't it? This placement speaks to a level of squishiness that is just not seen by many. Honestly there might have been a point in your life where you were forced to confront your emotions in a way that you weren't read for. Not to the level that Neptune needs you to face them. Unlike the Conjunction or Trine placements becoming apart of movements might make you feel uncomfortable as it makes you face the fact that the world isn't as ideal as you'd like it to be.
Sextile 60° ~ 1°
The last aspect for Neptune shows that you might be just a little more in tune with the world than others. You have that same easiness when it comes to empathy, but it's toned down. Less like a blazing hot sun and instead just the subtle warmth of a spring day letting you know that winters over. You still have the idealism that you wish to see in the world like a square, but unlike the square aspect you are more than likely to feel just a little bit less afraid when confronting it.
Neptune is one of those fun planets through the aspects. One of the main reasons for that it just because of how other-worldly Neptune is. Making us either really feel or lose the understanding that we have of ourselves.
Stay tuned tomorrow for the final installment of this series, Pluto.
