Aspects in the birth chart
Sun–Venus aspects
Venus also stays close to the Sun, never more than about 48 degrees away. This pair decides how much your self-worth depends on being liked. The Sun wants to be seen for who you are; Venus wants to be liked — and those are not the same thing. People with a strong Sun–Venus contact come across as charming and connect easily, but often notice late how much energy being agreeable costs them.

Enter your birth details — we use the Swiss Ephemeris to work out which angle actually stands between Sun and Venus in your chart.
Whether this aspect is in your chart depends on your date, time and place. Three answers and you know.

Sun Conjunction Venus
Fusion — the two act as a single force.
With Sun conjunct Venus, your core self and how you love and what you value can no longer be separated. You experience both as one movement — what you want and how you do it arise in the same impulse. Powerful, but hard to put into perspective.
In a conjunction both factors sit at the same point of your chart. You cannot experience them separately: what one wants automatically colours the other. That makes this the strongest of all connections — neither "good" nor "difficult", simply intense. People with a tight conjunction experience the theme as part of their personality rather than as something that happens to them. The cost: you rarely see it from the outside, because it is as self-evident to you as your own voice.

Sun and Venus: the five angles in numbers
Between Sun (your core self) and Venus (how you love and what you value) the calculator checks five angles. Each has its own leeway; for these two the date of birth is enough.
| Aspect | Angle | Orb | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sun Conjunction Venus | 0° | ± 8° | fusing — depends on the planets |
| Sun Sextile Venus | 60° | ± 5° | flowing, harmonious |
| Sun Square Venus | 90° | ± 7° | tense, demanding |
| Sun Trine Venus | 120° | ± 7° | flowing, harmonious |
| Sun Opposition Venus | 180° | ± 8° | tense, demanding |
