Moon Opposition Mars

Moon opposition: By moderating the aggressiveness of your desires, you help establish peace on Earth. An opposition between a planet and the Moon gives a person a very biased attitude toward the planetary principle, which is felt as vitally important, and in any case, the person experiences the planet’s manifestations very emotionally. At a low level, the person constantly tries to take an egocentric stance, i.e., internalize and emphasize the Moon, as a result of which the planetary principle is externalized, often in the form of another person onto whom all of their own inner dissatisfaction and disharmony is projected. The partner is declared the culprit of all misfortunes, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction. For example, in a Moon–Mercury opposition, the partner who carelessly gives good advice risks provoking a hysterical outburst like: “I’m so unhappy, and it’s all your fault and your stupid advice and reasoning!” Deep down, the person, of course, feels that it’s not that simple, that the planetary principle is somehow necessary, but they are completely unable to understand why or how to use it while remaining purely egotistical, which, in a debilitated chart, can lead to nervous and somatic illnesses. From time to time (if the planet is stronger than the Moon), the emphasis shifts: the planetary principle becomes stronger than the lunar one and is internalized, while the Moon, on the contrary, is externalized. At a low level, the person continues to wage war: with their mother (or her image), childhood habits they’ve grown tired of, their physical body, their homeland or people, taking the planetary principle (and the house where the planet is located) as the basis for their position. For example, in a Moon–Venus opposition, the stance taken is: “Being fat and overeating is ugly,” and the person goes on a grueling diet, but they last only until the Moon regains its dominant emphasis, after which they immediately suppress their desire for slimness and, munching on a sandwich with smoked meat with undisguised pleasure, watch figure skating competitions on TV without a second thought. The main problem in reconciling planetary principles here is that the Moon must abandon the idea of all-consuming consumption of the planetary principle (which would destroy it) while at the same time not starving the person to death, i.e., finding a balanced approach. Working through this is difficult, requiring self-sacrifice, discipline (Saturn), and inner honesty (Neptune, Pluto), but it yields remarkable results: the person masters the planetary principle very subtly, deeply, and confidently, and it becomes a natural and reliable support for them. Mars opposition: Having overcome an external enemy, watch how it becomes internal; having mastered the internal one, watch how it externalizes. The planetary principle in opposition to Mars will constantly be subjected to forceful influence, and it will be quite difficult for the person to establish harmonious interaction with this force. If the main emphasis is on the planet and the person in a sense identifies with its principle, the external environment quickly becomes aggressive and begins to interfere greatly. If, however, the person begins to fight it actively, they soon get a taste for the struggle and, forgetting their original plans, reaccentuate the opposition, as a result of which Mars becomes internally accented while the planet’s principle loses its significance for the person, passing into the external world and taking on the role of an enemy—described by the well-known aphorism, “What you fought for is what you got.” For example, in a Mars–Saturn opposition, you cannot fight for discipline; you can only honestly try to be disciplined to the best of your ability, or such a struggle will end in major troubles, external restrictions (the lower octave of Saturn), and the triumph of inner chaos. Here, the problem often manifests in the fact that the person feels strength only in the external manifestations of the planetary principle but tends to fight against them, and having defeated and internalized the planet, they lose their strength entirely. The most painful and incomprehensible moments are precisely the imperceptible turning points of the opposition, i.e., the reaccentuation of Mars and the planet. Working through this gives stable strength to the manifestations of the planet, in exactly the amount and on the vibrations it needs, which gives the person great self-confidence and the ability to balance the most acute and tense situations (related to the principle of the planet and the houses where it and Mars are located, as well as the aspects of these planets). At a low level and especially when Mars is debilitated, its opposition can produce destructive aggression both in the person and in the external environment. In this case, it should be borne in mind that the instability of the opposition, i.e., the frequent uncontrolled shift in emphasis between the planets, indicates poor working through of it, while systematic effort to track and consciously manage it is the most effective means of achieving stability and harmony with oneself and the external world.

With these aspects, it's necessary to consciously develop self-control in order to avoid unjustified harshness and lack of restraint in speech and actions. Such a person tends to place excessive demands on others. They are characterized by an excessive penchant for pleasure and excess, are intolerant, domineering, and sarcastic to the point of cruelty, which is why others often abandon them to their fate, leaving them alone and unhappy. If, however, a person manages to learn to properly use the inexhaustible energy at their disposal, they can "move mountains." Such people are constantly in a state of emotional crisis, which often leads to serious health problems if they do not calmly and patiently learn to control the strength of these aspects. They are quarrelsome, irritable, impulsive, adventurous, passionate, hostile, aggressive, and reckless. Because of their own stupidity, they exhibit a strange irresponsibility in love, holding prejudices against members of the opposite sex, which leads to unhappiness in their personal lives. They often cheat on their loved ones, if not in reality, then in their thoughts, and often their loved ones leave them at the most unexpected moments. This person is bold but boastful; decisive but reckless; cheerful but disordered. There is a great danger of violent death. This aspect is often associated with poor health, increased fatigue, a tendency to fever, danger from overexertion, anger, and timidity. Such people are often victims of accidents, and their caustic speech often leads to physical clashes with opponents.

Inconstant emotions. They often lose their temper over trifles, especially in the home, poisoning domestic relationships. Men are harsh with women, while women lack gentleness. Alcohol is dangerous for them; under its fumes, they become aggressive. They must develop a cheerful disposition and self-control. Impulsiveness can lead to rash actions. Extravagance leads to bankruptcy and debt. Carelessness in handling other people's money and property leads to quarrels. Conflicts with parents are frequent, especially with the mother, and later with spouses and children. They cannot stand routine, so they cannot fulfill their duties for long. A thirst for adventure leads to unwanted relationships, debauchery, and violence. Loss of family members in war and violent acts. It is necessary to protect your home from fire. In a very bad horoscope - dishonesty and criminality.

Reckless courage, obstinacy, stubbornness, self-confidence, arrogance, rudeness, boorishness, scandalousness, willfulness, capriciousness, passion, recklessness, lack of restraint, noisiness, hysteria, carelessness, sensuality, shamelessness, insolence; strong influence of animal instincts; a tendency to get into dangerous situations, risk of violence. In men - problems in relationships with mothers and women in general; in women - shamelessness, debauchery, dangerous or difficult childbirth; in both - poor health, risk of accidents. The positive side - confidence, will, energy, determination, courage, an active desire to help others, a desire to change the world around us for the better (fight for the environment), the ability to forget about oneself for the sake of others, to put one's chest on the embrasure.

Opposition, square - aspects that in this case mean aggressiveness or increased sensitivity to the aggressiveness of others. A person constantly suspects that someone wants to attack or criticize him. By the will of his changeable mood, he either explodes and falls into a rage, or avoids conflicts. He is restless, suspicious, and sometimes capricious. In some cases, the position in relations with the mother is both offensive and defensive. A man sees his relationship with a woman as one of complete disagreement; a woman involuntarily awakens aggressiveness in him. These aspects increase the likelihood of attacks on the integrity of the body, in particular surgical intervention.

Stomach problems are likely. We need to help the child develop a cheerful disposition and teach him self-control. The child may perceive his mother as a militant woman, ready to defend her own rights and her faith.

You may not get a lot of support for the way you come on -- your basic energy and drive. You tend to go against the crowd and somehow always manage to create reverberation in those around you. Some may even find you overbearing, for your intensity runs counter to whatever is traditional or established. This fact could involve you in a lot of arguments over the years. You are not the least bit sentimental, and even tend to ignore sentiment in others.
