With the Sun trine Ascendant in your natal chart, a wonderful air of warmth and authority surrounds you. You could have a marked interest in the performing arts and/or sports and games, whether as a spectator or participant or both. This is an especially favorable aspect to have for those who are in the public eye. You come across as someone to take seriously but also likable and appealing.
Unless other more difficult aspects dominate this energy, you generally find it easy to gain the cooperation of others. You naturally lead and direct. Your ability to gain cooperation is a strong suit, rendering your social interactions reassuring and confident. Generally, you have strong vitality and a solid constitution. Although these qualities are innate, you may take them for granted, only recognizing these potentials later in life.

About Trines
The trine is considered an easy, harmonious, positive aspect. It’s 120 degrees. Because aspects rarely occur exactly, astrologers allow a range and apply an orb to identify which planets count as being trine to one another.
For example, if an astrologer uses a 7-degree orb for a trine, planets/points that are anywhere from 113 to 127 degrees apart would be considered forming a trine to one another.
The nature of a trine aspect: Planets in trine support each other. Indeed, trines, by nature, are accepting. They allow us to accept others, ourselves, and situations. The talents that trines offer a person are so natural that they are almost unconscious. Often enough, people don’t truly appreciate the talents these trines bestow upon them. As a result, they may not try to develop them.
With a trine between the Sun and Ascendant, the positive traits of the Sun and Ascendant signs are more prominent. In other words, there’s no forcing or trying involved with expressing these traits. Self-expression comes more readily.
