Why do they say it's a good aspect for synastry ?

Aren't oppositions supposed to create negative energy ?

No, I don't think it's negative energy with an opposition. Or a square for that matter. Why do things have to be so black or white??
It's all spices for the dish. If you're going to make a stew, then trines and sextiles are just going to make a nice, bland non-flavor. But maybe you like that kinda thing. Not me, thank you.

I think Sun/Venus is overrated. But I think any aspect which is isolated from a chart is overrated tho LOL

there's no such things as "negative energy" in the way you mean it.

"negative" means "opposite" - but "opposition" or "negation" is not a bad thing in nature, it is actually THE NATURE of things in this Universe

like the YIN is opposite to the YANG, or non-Yang, 'negative' - aka "negation of"

like the centipetal is the 'negative' to the centrifugal force. can you imagine what would happen to this planet if one of them would case to exist? can you decide which of them is the good one, or which is the bad?

can you even imagine a coin with just one side?

The nature of Venus itself is generally thought of as benefic aka "good" (but in reality not everything about that planet is "good"). Any aspect to benefic planets (Venus and Jupiter) are considered "good" even if its a so-called "bad" aspect like a square or opposition.

PERSONALLY in synastry I like tense aspects like squares and oppositions because it pushes people to DO something about it. I find if a synastry chart has mostly trines and sextiles without any hard aspects, the people are comfortable never moving forward with the relationship. They're too content to just let it be. There needs to be SPICE. No one wants a relationship thats too easy.

And oppositions are great attractors especially in astrology. That's why they say that the best match for you is someone with the opposite ascendant of you (aka your descendant).

Actually, opposition is an aspect formed by two celestial bodies that are in different but compatible elements, so it isn't really that bad. Also, opposition is about differences that are complementary (which means that they do have similarities/common ground), so again, it's not as bad as we think.

I agree with MVM, BUT, at the same time, if we're going to isolate aspects (and I think we have to in order to learn to read a whole chart/natals/synastry in a thorough and nuanced way)....then I think it's not a "good" aspect. I agree it's not "bad", either, but I disagree with claims that it's all lovey-dovey and romantic. I think it can be kind of tense, like the square--Venus-Sun are intrigued by each other, but sometimes put off, too. OR, in some cases, it isn't that evident or "felt" at all, especially if Venus isn't heavily aspected in the Venus person's chart.

I think the conjunction is a much stronger romantic aspects...when I have this with people where I am the Sun person, we each find the other very beautiful and tend to have compatible loves of Leo things.

as a leo sun i have found men with aqua venus to be irresistible...while once upon a time i had a boyfriend whose sun was conj my venus(in virgo) and the relationship was weighed down with criticism and perfectionism that drowned it DEAD!

opposites can attract, they can balance, AND they can bring out your shadow, which is actually a very beneficial situation...and when it is venus bringing it out it can be a really lovely way of dismantling your blocks!

good insights

Venus is one of the known traditional benefics in Astrology. Jupiter is the main one.

If I want an opposition in synastry, it would be with Venus,Jupiter,Moon.

also opposition is the aspect corresponds with Libra and the 7th house too

remember that the Descendant is opposite the Ascendant.

conjunction corresponds with Aries and the 1st house


furthermore,

geometrical aspect configurations have to be taken into account


if you have a grand trine, and a person's planet makes an opposition to one of those planets, then you have a synastry kite, and that's one of the beneficial configurations too. The planet is also sextiling the 2 other planets.

on the other hand

if you have a t-square, and a person's planet makes an opposition to the apex planet in a t-square, then you have a synastry grand cross which is the most challenging aspect configuration.

some people believe that a grand cross like that can be beneficial because they believe that the planet that makes an opposition is a 4th leg and so completes the t-square which is seen as having 3 legs with the 4th one adding stability

the thing if a t-square is tight orbed to begin with, the apex planet is in opposition to the midpoint of the 2 planets squaring it.


for example:

I have Moon in 3'11 Pisces in 7th
my Saturn is 5'08 Gemini R in 10th
my Neptune is in 1'48 Sagittarius in 4th
(I prefer wholesigns now.)

therefore my Moon opposes Saturn/Neptune midpoint in 3'28 Virgo

I don't need a 4th leg to my t-square. My Saturn/Neptune midpoint in Virgo is already activated.

I definitely don't want another Mars,Saturn,outerplanets,and transneptunians opposing my Moon.
