Qualities Of People With A Strong Opposition In Their Chart

Does an opposition dominate your chart?  My son was here for a visit; he’s got a strong opposition in his chart. It lies one the ascendant / descendant axis so it’s even more emphasized.

My husband has a Taurus sun and a Scorpio moon, but the degrees are far enough apart, I never think of it as a true opposition.

I’m sort of a “cluster” person so having one person come at me from two ways is bewildering on a certain level.

I understand it well enough. I can see the opposition in the chart, but I don’t think most people with a major opposition realize they’ve got two ways of being or ways of presenting or ways of seeing things.

I’m not saying it’s better to not have an opposition. I’m more of a specialist. It’s narrow, truth be told.  But this on/off or back and forth quality is something to consider, if you have a strong opposition in your chart or if you’re dealing with someone who does.

When consulting, I work with pairs of charts frequently. It’s common to see strong opposition people partner with people who have charts like mine.  It’s less common to see charts of a couple, both with strong oppositions, maybe more than one; but it does happen.

I don’t see this as good or bad. It does seem easier if one person is stationary; they can just turn to face the version of their partner, they are dealing with in the moment. But there can also be an affinity if both people have a strong opposition.

Sorting a situation like this is not really a thirty minute thing, if you really want to understand the personal situations, as well as how the people interact. Because there is a lot of ping pong, going on.

I don’t see things like this discussed in popular astrology anymore, but they’re quite important.

Do you have a strong opposition in your chart? What can you tell us about it? Are you partnered with someone with a dominant opposition in their chart? What’s your experience?
