I felt new respect for the opposition today. I have only one in my chart (Saturn Neptune) unless you count asteroids, and many do, especially Chiron, but the story is this: I prefer to be invisible, to go about the world without… strangers asking me for directions, for example, which they constantly do.
And today I felt the eclipse energy: it conjuncted my Sun (possibly using a wide orb, but others would give it, definitely), the Moon trining my descendent. And I FELT the Moon in Cancer, Pluto in Capricorn opposition profoundly.
When you see a chart, a person, with many oppositions, people are always coming at them, for good or ill. It’s a constant flow of the other, the other, the other. When I have oppositions to my natal by transit? It is absolutely unnerving.
People with chart oppositions: does it help you or hurt you as you move through the world. Tell me.
And you know, it will be embarrassing for this Virgo Moon if no one answers the question. I deeply appreciate my readers and commenters, my fellow star gazers, so don’t be shy 🙂
Tell me, tell us, about your oppositions, about your opponents because… isn’t that, truly, what they are?

Mars in Pisces conjunct IC opposite Jupiter in Virgo conjunct MC. Constantly pulled between being a productive member of society and putting all my energy into daydreaming and spiritual pursuits.
Welcome Prunella!
Like to hear what the commenters have to say, especially “hair torched” and “marxist know it all”, I can relate.
I have mars/south node/moon opposite jupiter/north node (neptune, wide orb) and then Venus opposite saturn. Yes, my experience is people coming at me, all the time. It even got to the point that when I left the house, strangers were shaking their fists at me. honest. I am not delusional.
I even have cars miss the corner and end up caught in my front yard, more than is possibly normal.
I approach life in a defensive manner, which I realize is not healthy, but WTF else can I do? Develop a sense of humor.
thanks a bunch, moonpluto
uranus scares me. he’s the guy i fear most in the whole wide world of astrology.
makes sense.
Isabel Hickey wrote that Uranus is the one planetary energy we cannot control. But that’s by transit. In your natal? In your 1st? Gotta be you! And I’ll give you a “should” — should be you with the NN there meaning it’s in your best interest, in your soul’s best interest to FIND you.
He scares me too, esp in combo with other heavy hitters by transit. Not like one can sit down with Uranus for a chat. Although perhaps one should try that 🙂
i have only one opposition
it is along my nodal axis with uranus at one end and chiron/black moon lilith at the other
north node in 1/2H scorpio and south node in 7/8H taurus
all this is squared by my leo saturn in the 10/11H
it is pretty heavy duty
but i don’t understand it very well at all
most of the players are relatively obscure, so researching it kinda goes nowhere
i’m guessing a uranus north node in the 1H is seriously screaming for me to get over the wounds of partnership and move on already (south node/chiron/7H)
Uranus North Node: do you know who you are? Are you willing to find out? Be yourself (NN + Uranus) in your most intimate relations (Scorp). Move towards the light (Uranus/electricity 🙂 and away from the dark (lillith). Your partner needs your ingenius (Uranus) support (scorpio).
The NN is often hard to get to…. and the Scorpio/Taurus axis… the beauty you need the most is within you, not without you. You can’t find it in furniture lol It’s the spirit, your spirit. Your spirit is enough.
The Saturn square? You may hate yourself along the journey BUT the empty leg of the tsquare is Aquarius? Well there you go then… uniqueness again/Uranian principle.
The well-behaved Virgo syndrome? Just a little? Saturn in Leo is afraid to be the star but needs to be the star… it’s part of your job here in this lifeitme..
Thanks for visiting, lona!
Funny enough, I’d like to have more oppositions- only two: Mars and Pallas to my AC. The former being the biggest bitch. Always nagging to calm the fire and pull a Taurus. Yeah. No. So, it’s not fun. I’m constantly misinterpreted as some marxist know-it-all who makes b-lines past people so quickly they catch their breath. Any hew.
All marshmallow inside. Which ironically also bugs me. Damn this Libra moon! My chart is split evenly between squares and sextiles with slightly less conjunctions and even fewer trines. Phooey. I guess that means I’m excited (sextiles) to fight (squares)?
EW, and those sextiles make you pleasant 🙂 And those squares make you irritable. You feel bad when you take it out on others. Grrr….
I’m not sure. I have Moon/Venus opposite my North Node, and Jupiter opposite pluto, Uranus opposed Sun/Chiron/Ceres (uranus conjunct asc), I’m sure I’ve had people come at me for good reasons, but I’ve also had more than one come at me for nasty reasons. Like the guy who tried torch my hair. (wtf?)
Hi Angela! Torch your hair??
