☍ Opposition
Sun opposite Venus
The Sun in opposition to Venus puts identity in tension with love, pleasure, and harmony, from poles that attract each other. The affirmation of the self enters into dialogue with the desire to please and to enjoy. There is charm and attraction, but also a risk of complacency or of seeking affection at the cost of oneself. One's own light is contrasted with the longing for pleasurable union.
In a relationship
When one person's Sun opposes the other's Venus, a strong affective and aesthetic attraction flows between them from complementary poles. The Venus person finds the Sun person attractive and desirable, adorns them and seeks their approval; the Sun person feels loved and lights up in the face of that warmth. There is mutual pleasure, tenderness, and a noticeable chemistry. The shadow side is the polarity: at times one seeks affection and harmony while the other asserts their will, and disconnects arise between self and togetherness, or a certain complacency sets in that avoids necessary conflict. There can also be a pull between shining and pleasing. The work is to bring affection and identity into balance, without one dissolving into appeasement. Well tended, this is a contact of strong romantic attraction and shared enjoyment.
