The Sun is the ego. The use of the word ego means the central core of the person. The Moon is one’s deepest emotions. This is quite different. Hence, the Sun is more outer oriented. More people will identify one by one’s Sun than any other planet. This is due to the fact that the Sun is always the most important planet in the chart. The Moon would be second. In a synastry, one would not want colliding of Suns. If this were the case, there would be power plays. On the upside, different Suns provide different point of views and a very different lens for looking at life. This can be marvelous in friendships but a minefield in marriage.
To conceptualize the Sun further, think of a bull charging. He is bringing all that he is as he charges toward his goal. That majestic animal could symbolize the Sun. The Sun is the planet that would be “all that we are” if we were forced to choose. Hence, in relationships, the Sun has great importance. Let’s look at the Sun in synastry and I hope it will become clearer.
Sun Conjunctions, Trines, Sextiles, Oppositions and Squares
The first three are positive. A Sun conjunction in synastry would almost be like twins. There would need to be little explanation as to the central core of each person. The Sun Trines and Sextiles would make for an easy flow between the two people. Think of two room mates who have lived together for years and rarely fight. That would be the Trine and the Sextile. The opposition would make for different world views. This is wonderful in friends but may be hard in a significant relationship. It may not be hard if there is a Moon simpatico, however. With a Moon simpatico, each person could bring a differing view and find that it is refreshing rather than burdensome. The Sun squares, in synatsry, would not be positive, in my opinion. I envision it as locked egos such as when an argument gets polarized and neither side will budge. I am not saying that people cannot be in relationships with squared Suns, but I imagine there would have to be compensating factors such as Moon trine Moon, for example.
Sun/Moon Conjunctions, Trines,Sextiles, Oppositions and Squares
Sun/Moon in positive aspect( Conj,Trine and Sextile) is a classic best friend’s aspect. The ego of the Sun person bonds with the heart of the Moon person. The Sun person may be the leader. The Moon person may be like a beloved child, just to get a sense of a feel for this aspect, not that the Moon person IS an actual child in the relationship. The Sun person may feel protective of the Moon person. The Moon person may look up to the Sun person. The conjunction is, always, the strongest, with the trine second and then the sextile. Best Friend aspects are not soul mate aspects, in my opinion. Soul mate aspects are Moon aspects. Best friend aspects are marvelous. However, in a long term relationship, there may still be an emptiness. That emptiness could be filled with Moon aspects.
The Sun/Moon opposition may be fine for a friendship but I think that in a long term aspect, it may make for quite a bit of friction. There may be a sense that one cannot really fathom the other person. Sun/Moon squares would be the hardest of all. There may be a locked in feeling between the two the way that exists in international relations with the detente.
Sun/Mercury Conjunctions, Trines, Sextiles, Oppositions and Squares
Mercury is the planet of the mind. Sun/mercury involves the ego of one person relating to the mind of the other.
