Sun Opposition Mercury

Opposition to the Sun: Before fulfilling an intention, you should understand to what extent it is truly yours. Opposition to the Sun highlights the Planet's relationship with the individual's will and the various imperative circumstances that arise in their path. The mere presence of a major aspect between the Sun and the Planet signifies that its principle will never manifest independently of the individual's will or the circumstances that determine their behavior; opposition additionally indicates a certain opposition between these principles, often accompanied by the exteriorization of one of them. At a low level, this provokes conflict, when either the individual willfully resists a particular external manifestation of the Planet's principle, or, conversely, external conditions suppress the internal manifestations of the Planetary principle with which they identify. For example, with the opposition of the Sun to Mars, a person will have various conflicts and battles with the outside world (at a higher level - with himself), but if you look closely, you can notice that they are of two types: in the first case, a person emphasizes and internalizes the principle of the Sun and opposes his will and composure to external aggression (which he actually often provokes himself, with his own initiative), in the second, on the contrary, he takes an aggressive Martian position for himself and actively fights with the imperative hostile will, actually submitting to its initiative, i.e. not having his own. At the same time, one type of conflict can easily turn into another, which is easy to notice by the change in the emphasis of the houses in which the Sun and Mars are located. With the opposition of the Sun and the Moon, a person is constantly fighting with himself, and the people with whom he enters into battle from time to time are actually front men in whom his will and ego are embodied, who, under this aspect, so need to learn to cooperate and understand each other friend, since by emphasizing the Moon, i.e. by adopting the ego position, a person immediately feels clouds gathering on the outer horizon, threatening to destroy his home, depriving his family and food (at least, that's how it seems to him), and by adopting the position of the Sun, i.e. by including his will and initiative, a person begins to act in such a way that (really) painfully infringes on his vital interests (why this happens, he cannot explain). Working through this aspect gives extraordinary stability in life - this is, for example, a woman who is able to cure her husband of alcoholism or mental illness and then raise wonderful children with him. Opposition of Mercury: Before you speak, think: will your words offend your thought? Opposition to Mercury poses the problem of the relationship of the Planet principle with rational thinking. One should not think that a strong Mercury in the chart gives intelligence: the latter is determined rather by the general evolutionary level, and as for Mercury, then the mind depends more on its development than on its aspects. At a low level of development, the dominant Mercury suppresses the Planetary principle with mental cliches, profanes it and mercilessly disfigures it. For example, with the opposition of Mercury to the Moon, the emphasis on Mercury leads to the fact that a person thinks quite formally, in strict accordance with social cliches: in order to be healthy and happy, I should do gymnastics in the morning, get married at 20, have three children and work without straining myself - and lives, considering myself happy or unhappy depending on the formal correspondence of my destiny to the specified scheme, completely unable to hear the true voice of my needs, even the most primitive, except in those cases when the Moon decisively appropriates the main emphasis in this opposition to itself, completely turning off Mercury, or rather, subordinating it to itself, i.e. allowing into a person's head only those thoughts that it generates, and then a person cannot get rid of, for example, Obsessive thoughts about food or primitive, yet luscious sex, which sharply lowers the evolutionary level of his behavior or leads to severe frustrations, neuroses, or depression. Here, the work proceeds along the path of clarifying the role of thought in the manifestations of the Planetary Principle, which should be generally guided by it, but not controlled in every detail, and especially not controlled or replaced by crude mental patterns. On the other hand, thought can facilitate the development of new directions and the materialization of the Planetary principle, and should not become its obedient servant, as one can often see when sorting through the unimaginable chaos that arises after a long period of the Planetary principle's dominance over the Mercurian principle. At a high level, the Planetary principle receives a stable channel into the mental plane, and the very thoughts necessary for the development of the Planetary principle come to mind. This feeling of obedience of thought and language is unmistakable, and in appropriate situations it gives a feeling of absolute self-confidence (those around you begin to discuss the obvious and undeniable power of talent, although it would be more accurate to speak of the stability of a well-developed opposition).

Some of your projects and goals may not always be as well-thought-out as they might be. You can think or say things which are not beneficial, especially to your own wellbeing. You may find that those older than you, or those in authority, object to your ideas or to things you say. You may have ambitions that are unreasonable or lack thought.
