The possibility that stellar interiors can slow down magnetic monopoles sufficiently to trap them is discussed, along with experimental techniques which could be implemented to detect the presence of monopoles in the sun. The energy loss of monopoles in a star is treated in terms of binary collisions within plasmas and collective effects. Collisions are calculated to sap energies of 1.2 GeV/cm at a V/c ratio of 0.001, the same as collective EM effects in a stellar core. Only monopoles with masses of no more than 10 to the 16th GeV would be trapped, implying that no more than 1.5 x 10 to the 28th monopoles with a unit Dirac charge would have been trapped in the 4.5 Gyr solar life. The resulting monopole moment of the sun may be observable in terms of upper bounds on neutrino energies measured in proton decay experiments.
