Deeper Understanding
Sun square Venus creates friction between identity and values, between who you are and what you want. You might feel you have to compromise yourself to get what you desire, or that what you value conflicts with your authentic self.
This tension often drives creative expression—the friction needs an outlet. It can also create challenges in relationships where self-worth gets tangled with others' appreciation.
The work is learning that you can be yourself AND have what you value. They don't have to compete.
