Sun square Moon natal is one of the most difficult aspects in astrology. Your need to shine as an individual always conflicts with your need for emotional security. What you want to do is often challenged by emotional pressures; your heart and head are not always working together. You may have had misunderstandings with your parents, or the relationship between your parents may have been especially tense.

You will likely experience many ups and downs, with many dramas in your life, especially with superiors and authority figures. Negative emotions can rise up and get expressed through your ego. This can make you irritable, and you may even become quite combative. People may, therefore, be defensive around you, which is often the cause of relationship problems. Your aim is not to react too emotionally, not to take things too personally.

However, the inner tension of the Sun square Moon does seem to push you to great achievements in life despite the setbacks. Perhaps you feel you have to prove something to the world. You have to fight harder than most to succeed but have great powers of regeneration to come back after a setback. Being born on a quarter moon makes you tough and resilient.

Sun Square Moon Transit

Sun square Moon transit adds stress and irritation in Moon-related areas like the home, family, and other close relationships, especially with women. What you want to do is challenged by emotional pressures; the heart and the head are not working as well as they usually are.

The Moon is also the subconscious, and how we instinctively react, so any negative emotions can rise up and get expressed through the ego. This is the cause of any relationship problems at the moment.

Other people will pick up on the inner tension and vulnerability and may see more negative traits and habits than they are used to. The aim here is not to react too emotionally, not to take things too personally under this influence. The Sun shines a light on negative emotions, habits, and outdated automatic reactions you are usually unaware of. The square aspect gives the push needed to face these problems and deal with them successfully.

This interpretation for Sun square Moon transit can also be read for a Solar Eclipse and New Moon square Moon.
