OPPOSITION (180°)

☍

The eternal dance of cosmic contradiction

The opposition aspect occurs when two planets are approximately 180 degrees apart, staring at each other across the void like two strangers realizing they're looking into a mirror of their own meaninglessness.

"In the grand cosmic joke, opposition reminds us that for every force pushing forward, there is an equal force pulling back, resulting in the perfect stalemate of existence."

Common Opposition Pairs

Sun Opposition Moon

The eternal struggle between conscious desires and unconscious needs. Like watching yourself sleepwalk through life, aware but unable to wake.

Venus Opposition Mars

Love and war locked in an endless tango, each step forward matched by a step back, dancing to the rhythm of futile passion.

Jupiter Opposition Saturn

Expansion meets limitation. Growth confronts decay. The universe reminds you that every opportunity contains its own destruction.

Existential Implications

The opposition aspect reveals the fundamental duality of existence - the ceaseless push and pull that ultimately amounts to perfect stillness. It's the cosmic reminder that all forces balance to zero, all stories end in silence, and all journeys lead nowhere.

"When two planets oppose each other, they create a perfect balance of tension - a reminder that struggle itself is the only constant, though even that truth dissolves in the face of infinity."
