An opposition draws a line and makes both sides visible. With the Sun here, the storyline of identity—how you show up, choose, and act—faces Psyche, the part of you that longs for union and fears being misread. Praise can feel strangely raw, criticism oddly piercing. You may catch yourself performing for love, or pulling back when the light gets too bright. Old tests of trust resurface. The heart knows it wants to be known, but the skin remembers what burned last time.
Working with this energy means letting the light do what it does best: reveal without humiliating, clarify without hardening. The task isn’t to choose ego or soul, but to host a conversation between them. When longing is named instead of dramatized, when fear is felt instead of defended, the self becomes more honest and less brittle. You begin to recognize which mirrors distort and which reflect you faithfully, and you learn to keep your hand on your own heart while you look.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Interactions highlight where you crave devotion, reassurance, or deeper honesty. A partner or close other may act as a mirror, amplifying both tenderness and misinterpretation, inviting clearer requests and gentler boundaries.
Work & Purpose
Visibility at work can stir vulnerability—being recognized might feel both validating and exposing. This period clarifies what kind of contribution feeds your soul, and where you’ve been trading authenticity for approval.
Creativity & Expression
Art-making or self-expression carries a raw, confessional quality; what you create wants to be true, not perfect. The muse asks for sincerity over polish, and the process becomes a way to meet your own depths with care.

Let yourself notice the exact moment attention begins to sting. Often that’s where a younger part of you expects to be judged or abandoned. Naming the tenderness out loud, even quietly to yourself, loosens the old spell and makes room for contact that doesn’t require armor or tests.
You don’t have to prove your worth or hide your longing; you can let them sit side by side. When you honor what your soul is asking for and allow your actions to reflect it, the Sun warms rather than scorches, and Psyche trusts rather than trembles. Integration here looks like being seen and staying soft.
The light that exposes also heals.
