This is a post to help people visualize oppositions.Let's break it down into components.
The components of an opposition are...
Two planets, Two houses, and Two signs.
One planet, in one house, in one sign is at odds with another planet in another house in another sign directly opposite to it.
Illustration.
Moon in Cancer in the Fourth house is opposed to Mars in Capricorn in the Tenth house.
Moon in Cancer In the Fourth is an instinctual , habitual, intuitive, or feeling to nurture in the home, by the home, or the family in a maternal fashion.
This is at odds with a drive, will, ambition towards a career, organizing to achieve career status, moving towards, as in driving a chariot towards destiny and career. This is what mars in Capricorn in the tenth.
So all three components of one side of the opposition will pull against all three components of the other side of the opposition. The native will feel like he is being pulled by two dominant aspects of his life. This is where stress will come from.
Of course, there are other aspects!!!!!!!!
It's never this clear cut...but I'm just making sure that people realize not to take into consideration only the planets...it takes a house a sign too to create an opposition.
My Saturn in Scorpio in the sixth is opposed to my NN in taurus in the 12th......
I go to the middle! How! WEll I do intense amount of work behind closed doors and make it a spiritual practice. I make my exercise spiritual. I transcend my ego. I Don't work out to look better....I work out to make contact with the other planets...Ironically...this has tremendously opened up streams of energy. I ran 8 miles on Saturday while meditating. I transcended what I did when I was a healthy young fit teenager...TIme said you won't be able to run as fast...so I prayed and the spirit gave me the strength to run longer than I ever have...and I ran longer than I imagined I ever could when I was younger and had youth on my side.
Find your balance and transcend!
That's the moon in libra!
Bless everyone!
