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.
