Sun and Venus aspects
The Sun and Venus never stand far apart, so the conjunction is the only major aspect they make. Close together, love, taste and charm sit at the centre of who you are.
You notice the light in a room before you notice the furniture, and you remember what everyone was wearing.
Venus is love, pleasure, taste and the art of getting along; the Sun is the self. Venus keeps close to the Sun in the sky, never far enough away to make any other major aspect, so the conjunction is the only one between them. Wider apart, Venus colours your chart from its own sign; close, it shines from the middle of it.
Sun conjunct Venus
Warmth is part of your identity. You are likeable without effort and you know it, you care how things look and feel, and you would rather be gracious than right. Beauty, comfort and affection sit close to the purpose of your life. The risk is wanting to be liked so much that you smooth over what needs saying.
Morning or evening
Venus is a morning star when it rises before the Sun and an evening star when it sets after it. Behind the Sun in the zodiac, rising first, its love is quick and outgoing, inclined to fall at first sight; ahead of it, lingering in the evening sky, it grows slowly and lasts.
Heart and will
When the two stand very close, what you love and what you want are hard to separate. Your relationships and your sense of self grow together, and the people you love most shape who you become. That is a gift, as long as one of them is you.
How common is each?
Seen from Earth, Venus never stands more than 47.2° from the Sun, so the conjunction is the only major aspect between them.
