Is there any significance in a natal chart if the sun and the moon are in opposite signs?

Thank you samarthrao, thats interesting

See i am trying to work on my natal chart, and its still all new to me. But i did notice that my sun is in Libra and my moon is in Aries, which are oposite signs. I thought it might have some kind of significance.

Hi jjjax
What degree are your Sun & Moon at? Are they making any aspect to each other?

Sue i have no idea! Im not sure if they making any aspect to each other, i dont think so. Sun is Libra 29°33’33", moon is Aries 14°30’26". Forgive me as i am new to all this... what is the significance of an aspect? i know what it is, but what does it mean? I have a list of aspects here, but none of it make sence to me at the moment. Is there anything i should be looking out for?

Hi jjjax
No they aren't making an aspect to each other. The absolute widest orb for planets to be considered to be making an aspect would be 10 degrees - but even that is too wide. To give you a rough idea of aspects - if your Sun is at 29 degree Libra and your Moon was at 29 degree Aries - that would be an aspect - an exact opposition.

By way of explaining aspects.....
Imagine two people having a conversation - an exchange of energy, words etc. When two planets make an aspect to each other - they are talking to each other, exchanging energies. That's a bit of a rough explanation but hopefully it gives you a basic idea of how aspects work.

Here's a list of the major aspects for you and the orb allowance......

THE ASPECTS
Aspects between planets occur when two or more planets fall a certain number of degrees way from each other. They create energy between the planets involved that will either enhance or aggravate the planets basic energies.
An aspect does not have to fall into the 'exact' number of degrees required but will have an orb allowance that differs according to the strength of the aspect.

Major Aspects
Conjunctions: 2 or more planets falling within 10 degrees of each other. Conjunctions can occur between two planets in different signs. As an example. Venus at 28 degrees of Aries will be conjunct Mercury at 3 degrees Taurus)
This is a power aspect bringing the full energy of both planets into play. Depending on how the two planets relate to each other and operate together this can be extremely positive or it can need focus and control. When planets are conjunct you must always watch the potential for things to get out of control.

Oppositions: Two planets 180 degrees from one another (Directly opposite each other. With 8 degree orb allowance on either side)
Oppositions require harmonising the two energies, as there is a tug of war between the two planets. Oppositions work through other people and their lessons and focus will be found in how you react and respond to those around you.

Trines: Two planets 120 degrees apart (6-8 degree orb allowance)
Trines are beneficial and harmonious and bring an ease of use regarding the two planets involved. Things come with little or no effort regarding the trining planets. Sun trine mars for example brings in a natural ability to go after goals, there is a harmony of the willpower and the self will which makes for an effortless ability to know how to pace self and actions.

Sextiles: Two planets 60 degrees apart. (4-6 orb of difference allowed)
Sextiles bring opportunities regarding the planets involved and generally herald accomplishment and success. Example: Venus sextile Saturn often brings artistic talents and incoming opportunities regarding them.

Squares: Two planets 90 degrees apart (8 degree orb difference allowed)
Squares are frictions within self. The two planets incite and irritate each other. They need to be moderated, focused and disciplined and then turn into a potential power source. The effort invested in handling the friction leads to inner strength, discipline and the ability to work with difficult situations. Example: Neptune squaring mercury leads to a fuzziness and nebulous thought process, there can be unintentional and intentional dishonesty. By applying powers of focus and a determined effort to deal with situations upfront and honestly the abilities of the mind to bring structure and strength to Neptune attributes is profound.

Inconjuncts: Two planets 150 degrees apart. (3-5 orb difference allowed)
The inconjunct planets don't understand each other in some basic way. Their energies are neither friction causing nor harmonious and so issues concerning times and traits that must bring the two planets together tend to be put on the back burner and ignored. A "sitting on the fence" aspect.

Sue

PS: Your Sun being at 29 degrees is classed as being at the Anaretic Degree (also more commonly known as the critical degree). 29 degrees is the last degree of a sign - the next degree from 29 Libra would be 0 degree Scorpio.

Thank you sooo much Sue! you explain things so well. Im going to print this off now, and sit down and try to work out what aspects i have. Are there other types of aspects that are formed from more than two planets? I was always told i was on the cusp of Libra/Scorpio, is there any significance to having my sun classed as being at the Anaretic Degree (or critical degree... why critical?)??? So is having my sun and moon in opposite signs without them making any aspect to each other (not being an exact opposite) significant at all?
