SUN CONJUNCT MARS

A conjunction or conjunct symbol is an aspect that emphasizes and brings together the energies of the planets involved. Conjunctions focus and intensify the energy much like a laser beam on an exact point in your chart. These planets have their own uniqueness and when tag-teamed their energy is intensified even more.

It is important to understand that the Sun rules the identity, ego, individuality, power and pride, while Mars is busy, hyper and action-oriented. Mars is assertive, aggressive and competitive.

This conjunction results in action that requires courage, willpower and strength (and no less than that!) These two planets are the two testosterone filled planets of the zodiac, so you can see just how masculine this energy really is. The areas of your chart that these two planets show up in (when under the Sun Sign involved) will speak volumes as to how this energy will express itself to you, according to your need(s).

This energy is not only hard-working, it is assertive, aggressive, and impulsive and loaded with spark, verve and zest.

As this energy gets expressed through the guise of the direction that you channel it, think of the power that the Sun generates and how it is able to ignite Solar-Powered gadgets. You are literally solar-powered with this aspect. The Sun naturally rules Leo, so there is leadership in this aspect as well. Your solar-powered-self, ignites and influences others. Remember that if you have this aspect in your Solar Return.

There is also 'potential' in this aspect. Interestingly enough, 'potential' happens to be my least favorite word because it basically means, "You haven't done it yet." So there's that. When you think of the potential that this aspect has, then actually doing something with it, requires an action on your part. You can only imagine the greatness that the energy can become, but if you don't do anything, then nothing gets done.

This aspect will literally magnify and power itself, but the energy has to be ignited by you. The spark to ignite comes from within. You have to put forth effort.

The Sun conjunct Mars has a Love of adventure regarding anything that provides an outlet for boundless energy. This aspect has an Aries quality to it, which prefers 'experiences' as gfits, instead 'things' as gifts. In other words, concert tickets, great seats to a professional sporting event, golf lessons or a weekend away at a winery would be better than a physical present. This aspect wants EXPERIENCE AND ADVENTURE!

What would be limitless to you? This aspect initiates, and it takes risks and sometimes it acts a bit too impulsively. Remember that. Even still, get busy, get aggressive, and channel this energy productively and constructively.Think of how GIGANTIC the Sun is in comparison to the other planets. See the pic below. Also remember that a conjunction intensifies the energy of the planets involved.

Think of a conjunction as the energy between two (2) people. They are walking toward each other not really realizing they are coming into each other's space until they cross that threshold, that orb of energy, that is like a bubble around them. You know that feeling when someone literally steps into your space. RIGHT THERE is okay, but RIGHT HERE might be too close or not close enough (winky wink).

Sitting on the park bench at opposite ends might be okay, but sitting right next to each other touching hip-to-hip, thigh-to-thigh, might be too much or not enough and you get all tingy inside and want more. That's a conjunction. Conjunctions intensify the energy of the two (2) planets involved. Just like conjunctions do with people. Let's call conjunctions (relationships) where people are concerned.

The coupling of the Sun and Mars is SUPER-HARD working. We already know how much power the Sun has over our day and our Life. Without the Sun, Life would be non-existent. When the Sun does not shine and is hidden by cloud cover, it impacts our mood and our energy levels. Our drive (motivation) tends to wane, drop or disappear altogether. Mars is aggressive, it is assertive and is likened to the warrior. Mars presses through the crowd to be first in line or stand on the front lines. (Remember that!)

Now we consider again that the Sun and Mars are in an exact conjunction today that came into the 'orb of influence' on December 1, 2025 and it will last until February 21, 2026. The conjunction is magnifying the energy of the planets involved - the Sun and Mars, which equals 'MAGNIFIED POWER'. You know Mars is powerful when it can impact the Sun in this way.

Keep in mind the Sun self-generates a tremendous amount of power, which then powers solar-powered gadgets. You are literally solar powered with this aspect. Think about that for a minute. You are self-solar-powered. Get your ass outside and soak this up and get your Vitamin D.

Also, soak up this energy to give you strength and power. Everything grows toward the Sun. You are going to need this energy. So soak it up, conserve and save your energy. Soak it up and then conserve. Transfer this energy into projects, chores, tasks that you need to get completed.
