(81) The Sun/Moon Pluspoint

The Sun/Moon combination signifies a person's vitality – their basic life energy. It can also be seen as a sense of purpose (Sun) powered by feeling (Moon). This combination only becomes negative if the life energy is either (1) poured forth chaotically with no direction, or (2) used for selfish, harmful or destructive purposes. As these planets are polar opposites of each other, their energy needs to be balanced, without either one repressing the other. If the Sun overbalances the Moon, the result is a strong ego but either a detachment from one's emotions or a repression of them. If the Moon overbalances the Sun then one is likely to be too impressionable, vulnerable, running to extremes, and/or lacking in self confidence. Whether one of these planets is overbalancing the other or not is not something that can be deduced from astrological factors – for the balance between these two depends on a person's level of evolution – which the chart never shows.
