G# chord in C# natural minor scale
When playing around with the C# natural minor scale, I noticed that, if I turn the g# chord into a major chord, it sounds more natural than the minor chord. Also, the C note introduced by it also sounds very natural in the melody. Is there any reason for this?
Btw, my knowledge of music theory is very limited, keed that in mind
No biggie..all that the C (actually B#) is doing in this instance, even when used in the G# (V) chord, is creating a harmonic minor tonality instead of natural minor.

What CoolBec said. The V is often used in natural minor progressions since it establishes a stronger resolution to i (V- i) because of the leading tone (major 7th).
You have a pretty Fmaj7.
C note creates tension and tends to resolve to C# note in this case
