An old story from a series called The Underground — two wolves fighting inside every person, and the one that wins is the one you feed — turns out to be the perfect way to explain the astrological opposition, two planets sitting 180 degrees apart in a real tug of war. This connects that image to the broader law of opposites — yin and yang, light and dark, self and not-self — and makes the real point: an opposition doesn't have a winner. Feeding one side and denying the other doesn't make the conflict disappear, it just delays it until it makes itself known some other way. The actual work is incorporating both energies at once, not picking a side. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. Astrological oppositions — two planets 180 degrees apart — work like the two-wolves story: whichever energy you feed grows stronger, but neither one actually disappears by being ignored.
2. Oppositions reflect the broader law of opposites (yin and yang, light and dark, self and not-self) and tend to show up in both inner conflict and outer relationships.
3. The real secret to working with an opposition is realizing there's no winner to declare — the growth comes from incorporating both sides, not suppressing one to let the other dominate.

#astrologyrideoftheday

I was watching a series, it was called the Underground.

And during the series they had this one part in the series.

This guy was talking to this little boy and he told this story and he attributed as an old Indian saying.

And it was a story of two wolves.

And he said everyone has a wolf.

Two wolves living inside of them.

A good wolf and a bad wolf.

And they are in a.

They're fighting each other.

And a little boy asked the man, which wolf wins?

And the old man says, the one you feed.

Now, this story stayed with me.

And astrologically, this kind of explains an opposition, the aspect of an opposition.

Two planets that are.

Are in 180 degrees from each other.

And what we have here is a tug of war.

You have a seesaw going on between these two energies.

And the reason I'm talking about it is because I find it very interesting to talk to people who have, like, oppositions going on.

Aquarius sun and a Leo Moon, you know, and there's a tug of war going on.

Now when we talk white wolf, black wolf, or the opposition, we actually are talking about the law of opposites.

Everything has an opposite yin and yang.

Male and female.

In, out, up, down, self, not self, light and dark, sleep and woke, you know, and out of all oppositions.

Even though it could seem like tension, we actually is.

It's actually an opportunity for growth, depending on how you deal with it or depending on which side you are feeding.

Because a lot of times we could feed one side and deny the other.

Act like it doesn't even exist, and sooner or later that opposition will make itself known.

Oppositions kind of point to relationships that we have not only in our inner world, but it actually also manifests in the outer world.

Planets in involved in opposition show urges inside of us that's in conflict with each other.

We have.

And where does that conflict come from?

Because we are taught in all conflicts we must have a winner.

But the secret in opposition is to realize there isn't gonna be a winner.

And what you have to do is incorporate both energies, feed both wolves.
