All the Combinations of the Sun in Taurus with ...
The Sun and the Moon, also known as the luminaries , are two essential centers of the natal chart: the Sun as a vital impulse and the Moon as an emotional need. These principles, however, are not manifested in the abstract, but rather through the zodiacal signs. The signs are the ways in which each planet or luminary expresses its energy ( as opposed to the houses, which mark the area of life in which it does so ). They determine the style, form, and tone with which that principle asserts itself in our lives . Thus, the sign in... read more

The Sun in the 12 Houses in the Composite Chart
The composite chart is a fascinating tool that combines the midpoints of two natal charts into a single astrological chart, creating a symbolic representation of the relationship as a whole (you can calculate your free composite chart here ) . It's important to note that the composite chart doesn't describe each person separately, but rather the dynamics of the relationship, the character the union takes on, and how it expresses itself to the world. It can be applied to all kinds of relationships—siblings, mother and daughter, close friends, professional partnerships—but in this post, we'll focus on romantic relationships, which tend... read more
The Metonic Cycle
The Metonic Cycle
Astrology is a discipline with thousands of years of development, observation, and constant research. Over the centuries, different cultures have accurately recorded the movements of the sky to understand the rhythms of life on Earth. Many of these discoveries are still used today, and among them stands out one invaluable discovery: the Metonic cycle , the great synchronicity between the Sun and the Moon that repeats itself every 19 years. The Metonic cycle is named after Meton of Athens , a Greek astronomer and mathematician who in the 5th century BC made one of the most precise observations of his... read more
The Cazimi: Complete Meaning and Symbolism
The Cazimi: Complete Meaning and Symbolism
Among the many traditional terms we still use in astrology, cazimi is one of the most common. A cazimi occurs when a planet is exactly in conjunction with the Sun , entering what was formerly called "the heart of the Sun." Although at first glance it may seem like a simple conjunction, the precision with which it must occur— less than 17 arc minutes —transforms this configuration into something much more specific: a spark of revelation, integration, or internal reconfiguration. To understand its meaning, it's important to remember what the Sun represents in astrological terms: the consciousness , creativity ,... read more
Sun-Moon Aspects in Synastry
Sun-Moon Aspects in Synastry
Synastry is an astrological tool that allows us to observe how two people's natal charts interact with each other . By superimposing them, it's possible to analyze the aspects formed between each person's planets, as well as their connections with angles and houses. This reveals points of affinity, areas of tension, potential compatibilities, and challenges to consider within the relationship. Its main utility lies in helping us better understand the dynamics that arise between two people —whether in a romantic, family, friendship, or even work relationship. Synastry doesn't predict the fate of a relationship, but it does show which aspects... read more

What does it mean when your partner's Sun falls in your 7th house? Or how does it affect the relationship when your Sun is in the other person's 12th house? In astrology, synastry allows us to understand the interaction between two people's birth charts, revealing how they influence each other in their relationship. In synastry, the Sun reflects the vital drive, creativity, and the way we seek to shine and feel special (and make the other person feel special) within the bond. In this post, we will explore how the Sun manifests itself by overlaying each of the 12... read more

The aspects between the Sun and Venus in the natal chart reveal how a person integrates their creative and vital impulse with their values and how they attract and seek harmony in their life. Unlike other planets, the Sun and Venus are never more than 48 degrees apart , which limits the aspects that can form between them. Only conjunctions, semisextiles, and semisquares can be found in the natal chart. These aspects reflect subtle manifestations of how personal needs are balanced with the connections and values that are cultivated. Below, we explore the meaning and implications of each of these... read more
