Venus is the planet of love and resonates with gentle, artistic, creative, beautiful and charming attributes. However, Venus is also associated with jealousy, sensuality, flirtatious behavior and even manipulation. The Sun represents the ego and the “self”. It reflects vitality, force and action that often coincide with the native’s personality. These are considered two telling planets when measuring compatibility in a love relationship but they’re also very limited in their depiction of the relationship as a whole. Often, the Venus and Sun support the initial magnetism due to the attraction.
The planet Venus and Sun conjunction, sextile and trines in a comparison between two natal charts (synastry) is often positive for the couple. It aids in creating common ground to relate to one another and to inspire harmony within the rapport. The Venus person often finds the Sun to be rather charming and there is often a mutual attraction present. There is a motive the Sun has in pleasing Venus and to be supportive. There is an acceptance and tolerance that characterizes the partnership and contentment may be achieved with one another.
The conjunction suggests there is a great deal to admire in each other. The Sun person could easily stimulate action or expression in Venus that is interpreted as romantic, valuable and endearing. This could quite easily be described as potential for subtle idealization. The sextile is not as potent as the conjunction but often results in mutual respect granted. The most favorable aspect is Venus trine Sun in synastry due to the sincerity supporting the value found in one another. The only downfall is that the trine manifests so easily that it may deprive the process of cultivating the rapport of desired passion and challenge. However, even with excellent Sun and Venus aspects the existence of unfavorable relationship traits could manifest.
The placement in the Houses are also extremely relevant in measuring value. A relationship may lack depth and be superficial in nature even if the Venus conjuncts the Sun. For instance, a woman’s Venus sign landing in the 1st House of a male may indicate a superficial attraction and results in a “trophy wife” situation that lacks substance. It’s unlikely the relationship is void of all emotion but a leading cause in the two people coming together might have more to do with the exterior opposed to the value found below the surface. It is also important to determine the House relevance to this aspect as well as the zodiac archetype to gain greater insight into how the Venus and the Sun influence the bond. See Venus in the Houses
The difficult Venus Sun aspects include the opposition, square and quincunx. The opposition would be the least catastrophic of the three and lessens the extent of the challenges to a degree. These aspects create problems and tension among the two parties involved. There is usually incompatibility in value systems and the general outlook on life often causes conflict. The Venus is likely to perceive the Sun person as too self-righteous which inspires the Venus person to engage in delicately manipulative tactics in order to achieve goals. It could also cause resentment to form within Venus due to feelings of giving more to the relationship than what is gained. It could very much set the stage for a tit-for-tat type of rapport where both people tally up their good deeds in order to support their objectives despite a desire for things to be fair and balanced. This could cause problems throughout the entire relationship from the handling of finances to arguments in managing home life.
