Only a conjunction or minor sextile can be formed between these planets, because (as we can see from Earth) Mercury can never be more than 28 degrees from the Sun. These aspects are best related to the sin placing of the planets concerned. If the planets fall in the same sign, the individual will think...
There can be a dramatic quality to your style of self-presentation, perhaps emerging out of an artistic and creative sensitivity, and this will be employed to gain the attention of people; you prefer to leave your mark and need to feel recognised. While some may see you in a superficial light, this is not how...
Tight contacts between these planets will add vigor, strength and courage to a chart. A goal-orientated individual who is not frightened to dare to do something. There is likely to be a strong need for cause: something or someone to fight for. Hard aspects incline toward undue competitiveness, a tendency to strain at the leash,...
Those with these contacts tend to cultivate a realistic (or overly realistic) view of the world. They take themselves and life seriously, do not trust easily and may set up strong defences. A lack of confidence in early life may incline to the setting of goals that can easily be met and/or fear of failure....

With Sun-Pluto aspects, Apollo and Hades are inextricably bound. The Sun-god can spend time in the upper regions, but he is always called back to the underworld...
Question: What is it about Sun-Saturn stress aspects (in particular) that resonate with such pain? One of my favorite famous examples of how Sun-Saturn (a very stressful and oppressing aspect) can manifest is Billy Corgan. Billy is the lead singer of the alt-rock group Smashing Pumpkins. Billy has attested that he suffered such intense abuse...
My eldest son has Sun square Pluto and when seeing this aspect as a young mother (and even younger astrology student) I looked at his father differently, believing any mood could be the potential for destruction, or lead to being too controlling, manipulative, and so forth (secretively thinking I must have shackled up with Ronald...
Question: I have the Sun in Cancer opposite Saturn in Capricorn in my natal chart. I think this contact relates to my failure to organize my finances and it landed me (unfortunately) in a homeless shelter. Anyhow, I spoke to my friend who was shocked at what had happened. She asked me why the hell...
