here is my thoughts about oppositions. It really depends on the planets playing the game. I find if the opposition is with planets that are forceful like, mars and saturn, it's like a tug of war..if it is between two peaceful planets like venus and the moon, it balances and if it is between a peaceful and a forceful, it is up and down like a teeter totter. does that help?

"Once of course they acknowledge their own power they will no longer need to seek it in the outside world."

This theory therefore suggests that with every opposition in your chart, you start off only associating with one of those planets. Take your Moon - Mars example, you associate with your moon - emotional nature but don't see yourself as capable of asserting yourself - Mars. Therefore you look to people in the world who form the same opposition with their Mars to your Moon. Part of this attraction is that because your Mars's are Conjunct, you feel that this person acts and asserts themself in an extremely similar manner to how you would. The only problem is that you haven't yet realized that this is how your Mars would express itself if you connected with it.

So by living out oppositions in your relationships, platonic - romantic, you learn to understand and these parts of yourself you previously diassociated yourself from. It is not impossible to learn and integrate them by yourself, its just more natural to learn from others because of our aversion to certain aspects of ourselves.

I have a fair number of oppositions myself and a lot of squares, so I have a lot of self discovery within my chart.

Moon opposite - Saturn & Uranus
Venus opposite - MC
Jupiter opposite - Saturn, Uranus & Neptune
Pluto opposite - MC
