Sun–Venus aspects
Like Mercury, Venus keeps close to the Sun and never gets more than about 48 degrees away. With this pair the question is how much your self-worth hangs on being liked. Your Sun wants to be seen as you really are, while Venus wants approval, and those wishes differ. Many with a strong Sun-Venus link seem charming and make friends easily. How much energy does all that pleasantness cost you? Plenty of people find out late.

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 are hard to tell apart. Wanting and doing often come from the same impulse, so both feel like one movement. That gives you strength, but stepping back from it is hard.
A conjunction puts both factors on the same spot in your chart. You can't feel them separately, because whatever the first wants tints the second. Astrologers call it the strongest connection of all: intense rather than easy or hard. With a tight conjunction, check whether the theme feels like part of who you are instead of something that happens to you. The catch is that you rarely see it from outside. It's as obvious as your own voice, which only sounds strange on a recording.

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, depending 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 |
