I notice that the Sun & Venus seem to be close together in most charts. Are they ever in opposing signs?

Question

What would be the results, if they were? How would that change the natives personality or whatever, if ever?

Answer 1

Hi Hsu:)

No, Sun and Venus won't ever be in opposing signs, nor will Mercury and the Sun, as all three planets move through the zodiac at pretty much the same speed, and so therefore Mercury and Venus are always, if not in the same sign as the sun, then no further than 2 signs before or two signs after the sun sign

Hypthetically speaking then, if natal Mercury were opposed natal Sun, then the native's thought processes would be at odds with their general personality. Here you'd find a person whose thinking always led them in the opposite direction than desired.  If natal Venus were opposed, then it would be the individual's sense of what was beautiful which would be at odds with their basic personality, hence someone who was inclined to find beauty in everything which was the opposite of what they themselves represented.

I think it's safe to say that either situation would suck, and we should all be glad that these aspects don't occur in natal charts.

Answer 2

U r right. Sun & venus do not go apart more than 2 signs & sun & mercury perhaps do not part more than one sign.

Sun & merc when in one sign make a man a normal intelligent human.
