In Astrology, Mercury represents your ability to think, study, use information ... and otherwise use your mind. Aries is a sign that supports courage, candor, and seizing the initiative. When Mercury is in Taurus, ideas stress things like stability, harmony, patience and solid, long-range planning. With Mercury in Taurus, thinking shows a strong inclination for qualities like affection, compassion, dependability, devotion, loyalty, generosity and "being nice." The energy of Mercury in Taurus is known for being composed, calm, placid, and strongly attached to its own opinions and conclusions.
In Astrology, Jupiter represents your philosophical and ethical structures; your ability to claim and express your authoritative knowledge - often through teaching others by the example of your own life. Scorpio is an energy that encourages profitable investments with other people.
Jupiter represents your philosophical and ethical structures; your ability to claim and express your "authoritative knowledge" - often through teaching others by the example of your own life; your ability to expand your sphere of personal influence; your involvement with law and religion - and the "basic rules you live by."
It also represents your ability to share benevolently with others - thus your capacity for charitable efforts and contributions to promote the overall social progress you favor. It describes your ability to envision "the big picture" of life and commit yourself to expansive undertakings. Perhaps most significantly, it symbolizes your involvement with positive karma and the benefits you derive therefrom.
When Jupiter is in Scorpio, people begin to adjust their "philosophy of life" to accommodate more profound, complex ideas. With Jupiter in Scorpio, the cooperative climate that prevailed so nicely during Jupiter's transit through Libra has brought up a number of significant points, involving both agreement and disagreement -- ones that won't be easily swept aside any more. So confronting their sometimes disturbing truths becomes a necessary part of personal growth.
Oppositions are angles of 180° between two or more planets ... directly across from one another in the circle of the horoscope.
Oppositions are an aspect of blockage, frustration, and challenge. They represent the tension you must handle when other people's needs and agendas (particularly those in your close partnerships) conflict directly and sharply with your own. As the very description in the word suggests, oppositions represent a power struggle between two antagonistic agendas in your life ... yours -- and someone else's.
Oppositions contain elements of "disowned qualities" which other people are forcing you to confront and reintegrate into your character and life strategies. They can be very uncomfortable and upsetting as "in reality" it may look and feel like somebody else is forcing you to respond in ways that are not comfortable or characteristic for you. But an analysis of the actual dynamics of the situation will show you are trying to accommodate two conflicting (and possibly mutually exclusive) needs ... one that is familiar to you, and one that's not.
Oppositions, therefore, mark a time of growth and diversification in your life ... and if you know enough, are wise enough, and / or patient enough to really observe what is going on, your antagonist is showing you the personal qualities you need to develop and fortify in your own character in order to be more complete, more effective, and possibly better able to defend yourself in similar experiences in the future.
This is a very generic explanation of what this aspect means. Our Premium Members Section contains a concise, plain-English answer ... and detailed advisories describing what this means for each sign of the Zodiac as well as suggestions for working with this energy.
