A reference hub for all major and minor aspects between the Sun and Moon.
Introduction
This index gathers every major and minor aspect between the Sun and Moon, organized for quick reference and deeper study. Here you’ll find the full spectrum of their geometric relationships—from conjunctions to septiles—arranged in a clear, navigable structure. Use this page as your central hub for exploring how Sun–Moon dynamics unfold across the aspect families.
How to Use This Index
Each aspect listed below links to its own interpretive post. Use the accordion to explore the harmonic families—conjunctions, sextiles, squares, trines, oppositions, quincunxes, and the full range of minor aspects. This structure allows you to move easily between technical geometry and symbolic meaning.
A Note on Sun–Moon Phases
The Sun–Moon aspects listed below always unfold within the larger lunar phase cycle. The phase describes the timing, tone, and direction of the aspect, shaping how identity (Sun) and emotion (Moon) interact. Waxing phases emphasize growth and outward motion, while waning phases emphasize release and integration. Full Moon phases heighten contrast and illumination, and balsamic phases turn everything inward.
Sun–Moon Aspect Micro‑Phase Table
Conjunction (0°)
Waxing: ignition, emergence, instinctive forward motion
Full: not applicable — conjunctions never occur at Full Moon
Waning: dissolution, inward reset, emotional composting
Sextile (60°)
Waxing: easy growth, cooperative momentum
Full: illuminated opportunities, clarity in collaboration
Waning: gentle release, softening of effort
Square (90°)
Waxing: building tension, identity‑forming pressure
Full: emotional climax, conflict illuminated
Waning: integration tension, sorting what stays and goes
Trine (120°)
Waxing: confident expansion, natural flow
Full: heightened harmony, expressive radiance
Waning: graceful unwinding, ease in letting go
Quincunx / Inconjunct (150°)
Waxing: restless adjustment, identity stretching
Full: emotional mismatch spotlighted, discomfort revealed
Waning: recalibration, subtle internal rebalancing
Opposition (180°)
Waxing: building awareness, polarity forming
Full: peak illumination, emotional truth revealed
Waning: release of tension, clarity settling in
Sun / Moon aspects
Identity and emotion merge. Unified will and instinct. Strong internal coherence. New Moon energy — beginnings, instinctive clarity, and a fresh personal cycle.
The Moon sits in the heart of the Sun. Emotional insight is purified, intensified, and made luminous. A moment of heightened clarity, inner alignment, and symbolic rebirth.
The Moon is overwhelmed by the Sun’s light. Emotional needs may feel overshadowed by identity, ego, or external demands. Instinct becomes harder to access.
The Moon is hidden in the Sun’s glare. Emotional life turns inward. Instincts operate behind the scenes. A subtle, private, or introspective phase.
A subtle aspect of refinement and sensitivity. Small adjustments between will and mood. Quiet creative or intuitive openings.
Mild tension between identity and emotional needs. Adjacent signs bring difference without conflict. Growth through small shifts in self‑expression.
A creative, subtle harmonic. Identity and emotion collaborate in understated but meaningful ways. Talent for shaping mood into expression.
A spiritual or inner‑development aspect. Quiet integration between conscious will and instinct. A contemplative, inward‑turning rhythm.
Mild friction between ego and emotion. Irritation that pushes growth. Motivation to resolve inner inconsistencies.
Another 45° harmonic — tension that stimulates action. Emotional reactions challenge identity, prompting adjustment.
A fated or intuitive connection between will and feeling. Instinctive choices carry symbolic or synchronistic weight.
Ease between identity and emotion. Cooperative inner life. Natural flow between self‑expression and instinctive response.
A creative, talent‑bearing harmonic. Subtle gifts in emotional expression, timing, and personal rhythm.
Creative integration of will and mood. Artistic or expressive talent. Ability to shape emotional tone intentionally.
Inner refinement and spiritual sensitivity. A subtle aspect of emotional maturation and self‑understanding.
Inner conflict between identity and emotion. Tension that drives growth. Strong will meets strong feeling — dynamic, active, and formative.
A mystical or symbolic tension. Emotional and conscious drives intersect in nonlinear, intuitive ways.
Creative tension that encourages expressive problem‑solving. A harmonic of refinement and subtle skill.
A spiritual or contemplative harmonic. Emotional insight supports identity development.
Harmony between will and feeling. Natural confidence. Emotional ease supports self‑expression and vitality.
Inner friction that pushes adaptation. Emotional reactions challenge identity, prompting growth and recalibration.
Creative intelligence. Ability to harmonize instinct and intention in unique or innovative ways.
Adjustment between identity and emotional needs. Incongruity that requires ongoing balancing. A restless, adaptive aspect.
A mismatch between conscious will and instinct. Requires continual recalibration. Emotional responses may feel out of sync with identity.
A mystical harmonic. Emotional and conscious drives intersect through intuition, symbolism, and nonlinear insight.
A subtle aspect of inner refinement. Emotional and conscious development unfold through quiet, introspective processes.
Intense focus between identity and emotion. A driven, sometimes obsessive need to align inner and outer life.
Full Moon energy. Awareness, contrast, and illumination. Identity and emotion stand across from each other, revealing truth and tension.
A complex, fated harmonic. Emotional and conscious drives intersect through symbolic or synchronistic pathways.
A deep intuitive aspect. Emotional cycles and identity development follow nonlinear, symbolic rhythms.
The final septile harmonic — a culmination of intuitive, symbolic, and fated Sun–Moon dynamics. Insight arises through pattern, rhythm, and inner knowing.
