The Sun in a 180 degree angle to the Moon is reflecting a disassociated, inconclusive and emotionally distracted personality.

> edit this In the personality

It bestows great loyality to one's own, however loyalities can keep them from doing what they really want. Even in a difficult chart, they tend to put great significance on their familial roots, and be invested with great emotionality there. They may let everything go when their family needs them. Maternal instincts tend to be through the roof.

They tend to be rather reserved, taking care to protect their sensitive emotional selves from any harm. They tend to associate with people they feel they can trust completely. They do not take kindly to any disloyalty, and tend to be quite clingy. Females tend to seek protective guys.

The opposition of the Sun to the Moon indicates an inconsistency of the flow of energies in the nature of the personality. There is some conflict between ambitions and goals and the need to be accepted and valued. All partnerships require some degree of honesty and compromise to thrive successfully. Yet, this aspect will indicate relationship problems until an understanding is reached concerning priorities and values and how to communicate needs and preferences. The opposition challenges the individual to find meaning and relevancy in a confusing world, despite its limits and injustices. There is a marked idealism about this type that forces the person to relate to some great principle or belief which completes their failings and complements their strengths if they choose to accept it. It is this trust which drives the individual to consciously define themselves and set limits as well as to relate more completely to their experiences and relationships with other people.

For the advanced types, becoming conscious of each day will be enough. They will find fulfillment in accepting themselves and other people as they are, without judgment or regret. For others, relationships will frequently put them at odds with those they perceive as threatening or exploitive in various degrees. All born with this aspect will need to strive at becoming aware of their core values and being open minded and fair with themselves and with friend and foe alike.

This all happens so that the individual can come to a new awareness which is more inclusive, more tolerant and more accepting of all differences and shortcomings. By allowing an awareness of a larger field of reference to replace the indecision and confusion that often accompanies this aspect, the person can learn how to accept and love what they naturally attract into their lives.
