HOUSE POLARITIES - INTEGRATING YOUR OPPOSITIONS (Part Two)




In our post on February 6, 2019, we highlighted oppositions with a focus on house polarities.

As stated on February 6, when we have oppositions in the natal chart defined by house positions, we are torn in two separate directions.  The houses define the areas of life involved in this separation.  There is a strong need to find a release mechanism between these two opposing forces.  In most cases, we will need to take into consideration the planets involved in the oppositions, as one planet’s energy can overpower the other planet’s energy.  However, no matter which planet is involved in the opposition aspect, they will need to find expression and often one will dominate the other.  We cannot forget that they are opposing forces.

We used the example of Saturn in the second house as opposed to Uranus in the eighth house.  We will continue from our Part I post……..

It is important to integrate both houses involved in the opposition without losing focus or emphasizing one house over the other.  Oppositions are opposing factors that create tension but through integration can be resolved and used in a positive manner.

It is also important while defining the meaning of your oppositions to take into consideration the natural rulers of the houses involved. 

In the case of our example, the natural ruler of the second house is Venus and Taurus and the natural ruler of the eighth house is Pluto and Scorpio.  These energies should be taken into consideration when trying to find alignment of the two houses and planets involved in the opposition.

When a planet is found in the final degrees of a house, some Astrologers say as much as five degrees from the cusp, the energies are pushing towards the next house and both houses should be used in the summation of required action taken to alleviate the stress of the opposition.  

So, if for example, Saturn was found 2 degrees from the cusp of the third house while still placed in the second house, both houses should be clearly defined to get a full understanding of what areas of life are involved as well as ways in which these areas of life can be used in combination with the opposing house involved in the equation. 

In the description of Saturn in the second and Uranus in the eighth house, a positive expression and release of tension caused by this opposition might be to find ways of achieving financial security perhaps through joint finances, where the burden of expenses is shared according to the income between both people involved. 

If there were continuous worries or anxieties over security matters, both financial and/or internal issues, letting go of these concerns through an understanding of mystical practice and an opening to new teachings that are available through spiritual/occult understandings could help the struggles and find new ways to alleviate these internal worries. 

To take it one step further, if for example, Saturn is tied to the third house because it conjoins the cusp of the third house, then communication and open dialogue will help alleviate some of the conditions that are causing concern and anxiety.

It is important to remember that there is always a resolution to any dilemma in life.  Astrology is an invaluable tool to helps us understand the energies and in this example through evaluation of the oppositions which may be part of the problem.  We can be pointed in the right direction to find ways to integrate these energies and use them to support one another and help to find resolution to any concerns there may be.
