- Keep the original symbols: a sun at R1C1 and moons at R2C2, R5C5 and R6C6.
- In row 2, R2C3 is a sun and R2C4 is a moon, satisfying their opposite marker. R2C4 and R2C5 are both moons, satisfying their equal marker.
- The vertical markers link R2C5/R3C5 as opposites; R3C2/R4C2 as opposites; R3C5/R4C5 as equals; and R4C2/R5C2 as equals.
- In row 5, R5C2 and R5C3 are both moons; R5C3 and R5C4 are opposites.
Every row and column has three suns and three moons, and no horizontal or vertical run contains three identical symbols. All eight relation markers are shown in the solved image. Filled cells with a pale blue background mark the four original givens.
