A synastry opposition may bring a difficult obstacle to overcome but also presents an opportunity for growth.
The sun opposite pluto synastry is about transformation through challenges and differences. The sun person is the one with a more extroverted and assertive personality, whereas pluto is introverted. They may have different worldviews or ideas about life goals, even if they are both seeking similar forms of support and healing.
This type of relationship will never be easy – it’s always going to involve hard work and struggle before you’ll see any real progress. But for those who are willing to put in the effort, this pairing has the potential to lead them into an entirely new way of living their life.
The Overall Theme For Sun-Pluto Aspects In Synastry
No matter which aspect these celestial bodies are placed in (conjunct, opposed, square, etc.), these two people will be fascinated with each other and feel an intense attraction that comes out of a sense of awe and admiration. They desire to know more about each other and intuitively sense that there is something that can be learned from this relationship.
Other Pluto relationships, such as Moon-Pluto or Mars-Pluto, come with potential red flags. However, a Sun-Pluto synastry has much more potential for growth and happiness. The sun won’t easily give in to the power of Pluto, and Pluto is able to go along for deep intense journeys, so both celestial bodies can stand their ground and achieve resolution.
The Pluto person has hidden desires in the areas of money, intimacy, sexuality, and emotions. The sun person lights up this area of life, which helps the Pluto person to learn how to express and heal these shadowy aspects of self. Self-acceptance is a big theme among these individuals.
In turn, the sun person feels validated in supporting the secretive aspects of Pluto. When the sun’s light is shining onto these aspects, great growth can occur.
Unconditional love is the potential reward of this deep symbiotic work. The Pluto person may experience the most growth in this relationship overall, since they will be doing deep work that may extend into the realm of personal trauma.
Another consideration will be where Pluto is in the two charts at the time that the couple meets. If there is a Pluto transit actively happening when they begin their relationship, their work through secrecy and trauma will be much more intense and immediate. However, this is an indicator that the two have come together at this specific time for a reason. They have been purposed to solve these issues and Pluto has brought a partner in for support.
Sun Opposite Pluto Synastry
An opposition in synastry generally means that there are two very different energies coming together, and in order to get along there is significant compromise needed. Sun opposite Pluto can be a difficult synastry because both partners have intense personalities that they need to manage.
Both the sun and Pluto represent strong forces: the sun person brings an external level of personal power, reflected as charisma; the Pluto person represents all things internal, like our core life force.
The sun is the center of what we are, and Pluto’s energy emanates from deep within us. The opposition here in synastry can make it difficult for both partners to find a balance between these energies; one will always be more dominant than the other depending on which partner has been charted as the sun.
It’s common for one partner to be more outgoing and extroverted than the other; this can bring out intense emotions and complicated dynamics between the two.
The best way to navigate these challenges is by being present in each moment with each other: don’t judge them, don’t take anything personally, and stay open to new experiences.
How Sun Opposite Pluto Synastry Couples Help Each Other Grow
Oppositions bring in confrontation and projection as a way to more clearly see the full truth. While this may seem like a warring position for the two people, it’s actually a mirage – an expression of each person’s own worries, fears, and struggles.
By holding mirrors up to each other, these two individuals have an opportunity to clearly see both their own shadow side and the light, as well.
The Pluto person has the capacity to help the sun person to try new things and bring depth into their life. This can look like the Pluto person coaxing the sun out of their comfort zone, and into more experimental spaces.
The sun can help with many things for the Pluto partner, including helping to find deep meaning in life; bringing light where there is darkness or coldness; being an attentive listener when they need someone to talk to; giving them inspiration through art and creativity, and encouraging them to come out of themselves.
The sun person is more likely to be the one who feels neglected in this relationship because Pluto will often hold back emotions, needs, and desires from others. It’s important for both partners to remember that they need to take care of themselves as well: giving each other space can allow for a more equal relationship.
Struggles With Sun Opposite Pluto Synastry Couples
Some struggles with the sun opposite Pluto synastry include the sun’s need to maintain power in the relationship and Pluto’s tendency to shut down emotionally.
The sun person may often try and control their partner by trying to fix them, while the Pluto person will be tempted with controlling behaviors such as manipulation or jealousy.
If the Pluto person starts acting controlling of the sun person, they will have to identify what is activating this behavior. The sun has been known to be a “flirt” and this can bring up Pluto’s insecurities. They will have to ask: “Do I need my partner to adjust their actions, or do I need to adjust my perspective?”
Trauma in the Pluto person may also have consequences in this relationship. The Pluto person may show their partner a new side to them that they would not normally show the world. They will need to work on healing and identifying what triggers this behavior, while also being patient with themselves as well as their partners, in order for this relationship to be successful.
