The individuals tend to boost each other’s energy levels, or, at the very least, allow each other to function efficiently without draining energy from each other.

When the aspects are flowing, there is a strong sense of compatibility. Acceptance and understanding needs to be worked on in order for the relationship to survive. Statements that begin with “you should…” must be avoided, because they only serve to make the partner defensive. The key to handling these relationships is to avoid becoming haughty and self-righteous with one another.

I have seen friendships and other relationships with Sun square Sun contacts suddenly fall apart over what appears to be (from the outside looking in) a simple disagreement about different temperaments. Care should be taken not to try to knock each other down with blows to the ego. There can be ego conflicts and competitiveness. With the hard aspects, there is generally a strong reaction to one another, whether it’s attraction or dislike. General notes about Sun-Sun contacts in synastry: This is a mutually beneficial relationship. You build up, encourage, and affirm one another’s worth and self-esteem, and you find one another’s company very comfortable and natural. There is a great deal of compatibility between you, for you understand and are in harmony with one another’s basic needs, aims, and approach to life. This aspect is a very supportive one in any chart comparison. Of course, there are challenges in your relationship, but this particular aspect strengthens your overall belief in one another. You stimulate, vitalize, motivate, and believe in each other in an overall sense. You feel understood, appreciated, recognized, and affirmed by one another. Your basic aims and approach to life are in harmony, and the mutual respect you feel forms the basis of an excellent friendship or partnership. Together, you feel you are going somewhere. Each of you affirms and confirms the other’s purpose. This is a very positive and strengthening aspect in your relationship. In a general sense, you endorse one another. You energize each other! Although your goals don’t always jive, you nevertheless feel supported by your partner. Your relationship can easily become a love-hate one. Although it may be pleasantly challenging at times, and especially at the beginning of your relationship, the need to defend one’s basic personality can be draining. There can be distinct “ego wars” between you, especially if you are around each other often. Your life goals may often be at odds with one another, and this fact can deplete both of your senses of vitality. The differences in your personalities, if not understood and handled properly, can lead to mutual frustration. You challenge each other to grow and develop, but unfortunately the process tends to be abrasive and frustrating. Your relationship is dynamic and energizing. It is up to the two of you to develop mutual appreciation for your differences rather than antagonize each other. Appreciate your basic differences, as you have much potential to complement each other. When “ego wars” occur between the two of you, remember that your partner is never going to be what they weren’t born to be. Beware of appearing haughty, judgmental, or self-righteous with each other when really the argument is about differences in basic temperaments. When disagreements arise, the argument is between your egos. This is not a lukewarm relationship! It can easily lean towards a love-hate relationship: you love and respect each other when you are able to complement each other, and you hate each other when you fail to understand and appreciate your differences. Opposites attract! Although the two of you have many basic differences in your personalities, you are, nevertheless, attracted to each other and intrigued by each other. The more you accept yourself, the more beneficial and delightful your relationship with one another is. However, you share the same flaws and weaknesses as well as the positive qualities, and you may find it difficult to be with someone who so clearly exhibits the very things you like least about yourself.

An innate appreciation and understanding of one another’s essence exists between you, and this is vitalizing and ego-affirming for both of you. It is easy for you to be together because you do not have to explain yourselves to one another. You strongly identify with each other and are very much alike in important ways. Your overall characteristics and energy levels are very similar. Synastry: Sun – Sun Aspects Between Two Charts When the Sun in one chart forms an aspect to another person’s Sun
