Something else to add -
If you look at the nature of the planets independently, Sun is our creative force - in essence, our production of self. Sun, ruler of Leo, wants to shine and show the world, "this is me." Saturn's interest in "me" has more to do with responsibility, upkeep, management. He controls by holding the reigns. To a positively aspected Sun, Saturn's reigns don't feel as binding. Squares, conjunctions, oppositions (the hard transits) bring a definite awareness of Saturn's pinch.
The warming qualities of Sun become limited, cooled down. Sun doesn't feel it's "normal," and feels restricted.
I think for the Sun person, the square really indicates the need to focus and hone in on a particular quality of self, put it through the ringer, so to say. Maybe a need to really analyze what good the character trait has in your life. Is it working for you? Is it purposeful? Is it allowing you to shine in the ways that Saturn expects it to, with decorum and competency.
We all have these loosely spinning notions of our sun selves that often never really find an anchor in reality, but they are part of all of us. Saturn squaring sun is likely demanding one finds that anchor, makes sure it is greased and able to keep the vessel secure during a storm.
It's definitely a tough aspect, but I know of many people, very successful and competent and respected, who have learned the hard way, through their square of who they are, who they are not, what they are capable and incapable of. Like the Saturn return which comes every 28 years, the natal square might feel like the return life-long. But what an opportunity to really define who you are and who you are not, and not get rutted into complacency.
