Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing, and let me tell you, it’s a rabbit hole. Today, I decided to tackle “sun opposition mars synastry” because, well, it sounded intense, and my relationships have been… let’s just say “fiery” lately.
First, I grabbed my birth chart and my partner’s (ex-partner’s? It’s complicated…) birth chart. I used one of those free online calculators. You know, just punched in the birth dates, times, and locations. Boom. Charts appeared. Lots of lines and symbols, pretty confusing at first, honestly.
Then, I started looking for the Sun and Mars symbols on both charts. The Sun is that circle with a dot in the middle, easy peasy. Mars is the circle with the arrow pointing up and to the right.
After that, I try to find that Sun and Mars locate on the opposite side.
Next up, I needed to see if those two symbols were opposite each other. The online chart did draw lines, some red some blue. I have to say it’s very convenient, especially red lines, which is what I’m looking for. An opposition, apparently, means they’re about 180 degrees apart. If the line connecting them is red, it means challenging energy.
- Sun: Represents your ego, your core self, your basic personality.
- Mars: Represents your drive, your aggression, your passion, how you take action.
When they’re opposite in synastry (which is just a fancy word for comparing two charts), it supposedly means there’s this push-pull dynamic. Like, you’re drawn to each other, but there’s also constant friction. Think head-butting, power struggles, that kind of thing.
So, I compared the charts, looking for that opposition. And guess what? There it was. A big, fat red line between my Sun and his Mars. (Or his Sun and my Mars, it works both ways). No wonder things have been so explosive! It all starts makes sense, like stars finally tells some truth of our relationship.
I spent the next few hours reading everything I could find about this aspect. Some of it was doom and gloom, “this relationship is doomed!” type stuff. Others were more optimistic, saying it could be passionate and exciting if you learn to work with the energy. Key words: “work with.”
Basically, what I figured out is that this aspect means we’re likely to trigger each other. Our egos (Sun) clash with the other person’s actions and desires (Mars). It can lead to arguments, competition, and a feeling of constantly being at odds. But, it can also mean intense attraction and a lot of energy to get things done, if you can channel it properly.
What I’m Going to Do Now
I’ve decided to try a few things, based on what I’ve read:
- Be more aware: Just knowing this dynamic exists helps. I can see the patterns more clearly now.
- Communicate better: Try to explain myself without getting defensive or attacking. Easier said than done, I know.
- Find healthy outlets: Maybe we need to do more competitive stuff together, like sports or games, to burn off some of that Mars energy.
- Give each other space: Sometimes, we just need to be apart to cool down.
Look, I’m no astrology expert, but this “sun opposition mars” thing definitely resonated with my experience. It’s not a magic solution, but it’s a tool. A way to understand myself and my relationships a little better. Whether it’s all true or not, who knows? But it’s given me something to think about, and a starting point for making things a little less… explosive.
