The following will still apply, but it will be a less intense connection. If this is the case, look to the general compatibility by sign and element. Of course, when comparing charts the two Suns might not form an aspect. When judging Sun compatibility between charts, we really need to look at the whole picture – the Sun’s sign, aspects and house – but simply looking at the basic Sun to Sun aspects in isolation is the best place to start and we can build from there. While we may feel intrigued and attracted to the different energy, getting along together presents us both with a challenge. On the other hand, when we meet someone whose expression is very different from our own we can have difficulty understanding where they’re coming from. We tend to feel a rapport with them, or at least we can understand where they’re coming from. Whenever we meet another person whose aims, goals, mission and energetic expression are similar to or compatible to our own we ‘get them’. Expressing our Sun is a mission, something we need to learn to do, to aspire to. As such, it represents our own personal hero’s journey – our vitality, willpower, ego identity and the creative urge. It also hints at the challenges and lessons we might expect to meet along the way. By sign, house position and aspect, the Sun suggests where best we should channel our energy in order to grow and fulfil our life’s purpose. The Sun in our chart represents our source of energy and how we use it. In astrology, the study of relationship compatibility is called synastry, or chart comparison. Have you ever wondered why you get along easily with some people, but struggle to find a rapport with others?
