Today, let’s talk about the Sun-Moon square aspect in astrology.
In a birth chart, the Sun represents the self, willpower, and ego, while the Moon represents the inner world, feelings, and emotions. A square aspect indicates friction between the two celestial bodies, where their energies don’t harmonize well.

To draw an analogy, this aspect is like wanting to present a strong and unyielding image to everyone, but when the crowd disperses, the little person inside you longs for someone to stay and give you a hug.
When your conscious mind clashes with your inner emotions and instincts, or when the person you aspire to be conflicts with the space where you seek inner security, you end up fighting with yourself. This internal struggle often leaves you tense and unable to relax.
People with this aspect may be deeply influenced by their parents’ relationship early on, as the Sun and Moon can also represent the father and mother. The square aspect indicates that the parents did not get along well or that the family atmosphere was tense.
Those who grow up in such an environment (those with a Sun-Moon square) may develop difficulties with cooperation and intimacy as adults.
Moreover, they often experience a sense of division, as if they have two personalities. One is the natural self—expressed through habitual ways of doing things or presenting themselves—while the other is the person they aspire to become, striving toward a better version of themselves.
Individuals with a Sun-Moon square tend to clearly recognize that their current state is inadequate or even flawed, yet they struggle to overcome subconscious behaviors and reactions, making genuine change difficult to achieve.
Due to an inherent lack of inner security, people may fear change and, at times, even resort to intense reactions to assert their will, leaving others with the impression of being hopeless. However, deep down, those with a Sun-Moon square know this is actually wrong.
This conflicted state prevents smooth personal growth, depriving them of the strength and confidence to control themselves. Even at an advanced age, they may still be caught in self-struggle, unable to attain a calm and composed mindset.
Thus, for those with a Sun-Moon square to realize their personal value and grow into the person they envision, they must continuously learn to overcome fear and tension, cultivating a sense of security within themselves.
Regarding how individuals with a Sun-Moon square can grow, I believe efforts must be made both internally and externally.
On one hand, the expansion of inner security is crucial. Just like animals claiming territory, the higher your achievements, the stronger your capabilities, and the more things you can control, the better you can back yourself up in action without worrying about external judgments. Only when you can bear the consequences of your actions will the sense of ease grow stronger.
On the other hand, it’s important to encourage yourself more, to accept yourself. Avoidance is not shameful; be gentle with your inner child, accompany them as they grow, and eventually, the clouds will part to reveal the sun.
Writing it down may take just a few lines, but walking the path is never easy, step by step.
Yet growth is a process, and you can celebrate every single step you take.
