Sun square Venus

In the astrological tradition a square between the Sun and Venus marks a working tension: your drive to be yourself and your wish to be liked don't always agree. You might soften a real edge to keep the peace, or feel your own warmth get in the way of a clear decision. This is friction to work, not a flaw to fix — the rub is where you learn to want something and stay likable at once. Held with patience, it grows real taste and a spine to match. Some approval is worth wanting and some you can set down without losing a thing, and learning to tell one from the other is where this tension finally pays off.
