Conjunction

The energies of two points merge and pull in one direction.

☌︎

Angle: 0°

The energies of two points merge and pull in one direction.

In a conjunction the two points stand almost in the same place, so their strengths add up and are hard to separate. The effect is intense, and its nature is set by the character of the points involved: it can be a harmonious accord or a straining excess. Such a link is traditionally seen as marking one of the strongest themes in a chart, and becoming aware of it helps in finding balance.

Planet pairs with this aspect

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ☽︎Moon

Conscious will and inner need pull in the same direction: who you want to be and what you long for rarely drift apart. This can give a unified nature that sometimes finds it hard to take in other viewpoints.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ☿︎Mercury

Thinking and identity are interwoven: you easily feel you are what you think and say. There is a strong urge for clear self-expression, though it can be hard to separate an opinion from the person holding it.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ♀︎Venus

Self-image and values meet: the wish for beauty, affection and harmony is woven into your identity. This can lend a pleasant, attractive presence, though the pull of pleasing others and being liked is never far away.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ♂︎Mars

Vitality and drive concentrate in one point: strong initiative, a competitive streak and directness may mark you. The challenge is to steer this energy so that momentum does not turn into impatience or stubbornness.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ♃︎Jupiter

Identity opens toward generosity, cheerfulness and big-picture thinking. A natural optimism and faith may mark you, though exaggeration, overpromising and underestimating limits can be temptations.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ♄︎Saturn

Identity is bound up with seriousness, responsibility and self-discipline. A sense of having to earn your place may come early; the price of a solid character can be strictness and harsh self-criticism.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ♅︎Uranus

Individuality and the longing for independence are tied together: an original, nonconformist, sometimes surprising personality may result. The challenge is to keep being different from turning into rebellion for its own sake.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ♆︎Neptune

The contours of identity are soft and permeable: a sensitive, empathic, imaginative soul who easily dissolves into the surroundings. The challenge is to keep a clear self-image and to tell reality from dream.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ♇︎Pluto

Identity operates deeply, intensely and at times compulsively: strong will, a hunger for the essence of things and themes of transformation may mark you. The challenge is releasing control and using power responsibly.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ☊︎Lunar Node (North Node)

Identity and life direction coincide: your personality steps naturally into the themes toward which growth calls you. This can give a strong sense of purpose, though you may cling to the familiar self.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ⚷︎Chiron

Identity and a deeply felt wound are intertwined: self-image often organises itself around an old hurt. Over time this experience can become a healing presence that understands the pain of others.

☉︎Sun ☌︎ ⚸︎Black Moon Lilith

Identity merges with the raw, untamed self, the part that your surroundings may have judged improper. A strong authenticity can result; the challenge is to handle suppressed anger or a sense of being an outsider consciously.
