Sun-Mercury
Sun-Mercury combines our central identity (Sun) with Mercury's tendency toward movement, thought, speech, correspondence, or communication of any kind. The archetype of the Sun can at times also be associated with the father, as exemplified below.
This combination can show up in life as the communication (Mercury) of our will and identity (Sun) as having importance, and feeling that we have to shine a light (Sun) on an important message (Mercury).
Below are examples of famous people born with this combination in their natal charts (natal chart is another word for astrological birth chart, or pictographic representation of the sky when they were born). When we witness how this combination shows up in the lives of others, we can become more self-aware of how this combination shows up in our own lives. The more we are conscious of the ways astrological alignments (otherwise known as “aspects”) show up in our lives, the more the archetypal tensions involved can become integrated in our lives, thus revealing inherent strengths to us.
Please note that the tension of this archetypal combination, as illustrated in the lives and creations of the famous people in the examples below, may be demonstrated in ways that are more integrated or less integrated.
The Sun-Mercury combination in the chart of French politician Marine Le Pen can be seen in her constant need to address the spoken points (Mercury) of her father (Sun), right wing extremist politician Jean-Marie Le Pen, so much so that her own identity (Sun) as a politician is inextricably linked to the political message (Mercury) of her father (Sun): https://www.britannica.com/biography/Marine-Le-Pen Other ways in which this combination shows up in her life include writing (Mercury) an autobiography (Sun), and being considered the spokesperson (Sun-Mercury) for Euroskepticism and the National Front of France.
The Sun-Mercury combination in the chart of actor Gerard Butler can be seen in roles he plays involving speaking and writing, such as P.S. I Love You, a movie in which the identity (Sun) of his character is based on letters he has written (Mercury); and The Ugly Truth a movie in which he plays a talk-radio show (Mercury) host (Sun).
