The discussion commences with an exploration of the concept of opposition, which is introduced as a fundamental aspect of astrological interpretation. Opposition is defined as the positional relationship between two celestial bodies that are situated directly opposite one another in the zodiac, separated by an arc of 180 degrees. This positioning engenders a dynamic of duality and tension, necessitating dialogue and interaction between the entities involved. We delve into the implications of this astrological phenomenon, highlighting keywords such as polar, duel, and imbalanced, which encapsulate the essence of opposition. The speakers articulate that opposition is not merely a discordant interaction, but rather a catalyst for growth and understanding, prompting individuals to engage with the aspects of themselves that may be in conflict or underrepresented. An intriguing analogy is drawn between opposition and the ancient philosophical principle of yin and yang, positing that oppositional forces possess an inherent compatibility. The conversation shifts toward practical applications of understanding oppositional dynamics, suggesting that individuals often encounter manifestations of their neglected planetary aspects through interpersonal relationships. This notion underscores the idea that the energies of opposition serve as a mirror, reflecting back to us the qualities we may overlook or resist. The speakers advocate for a balanced engagement with both sides of an opposition to achieve personal growth and harmony. As the dialogue progresses, the speakers reflect on their personal experiences with oppositional energies in their astrological charts, reinforcing the discussion with relatable anecdotes. The conversation culminates in a profound recognition that opposition, while challenging, is instrumental in fostering self-awareness and integration of diverse aspects of one's personality. The dialogue concludes with a call to embrace the lessons that opposition imparts, framing it as an essential mechanism for personal evolution and relational understanding.

The next major aspect I have down here is the opposition.

I have one of those too.

And it's the energy of duality.

It's the division of the circle by two.

It's the energy of dialogue.

It is.

Walter, what is opposition?

Yeah, so in opposition is when two.

Two planets are opposite each other.

It's literally separated by 180 degrees.

And it's really.

What you just said.

It's.

It's.

It's having like, basically a person in front of you at all times needing to, like, interact with you.

Or if you use in sign base, you.

It would be seven signs away.

Yes.

Separated by seven signs.

Keywords to an opposition would be polar, duel, tense, imbalanced, divided, mirrored, prompted, torn, distant, harmonize.

The law of opposites.

Self and not self.

Yin and yang, light and dark.

Male and female, consciousness and unconscious.

In, out, up, down.

Also, oppositions are, may we add, challenging, because it's not always easy having someone in front of you that is opposite of all that you represent.

So I'm glad you said that, because things that are.

That are different is actually alike sharing most similar qualities, differing slightly.

Right?

Like a.

Like a spectrum.

Like you're on a spectrum, but you're on opposite ends of the spectrum.

For instance.

Go ahead.

No, I was just.

I was just gonna say the spectrum.

You know, if you think of like a spectrum, everything is kind of like, similar, but they have different, maybe, like, differing qualities within.

Okay, I watch this.

The.

About a month ago, I took my dog to the vet, right?

And they had.

They had two ladies sitting at the front desk.

What do you think their signs were?

Virgo, Pisces.

Wait, wait, wait.

How did you know that?

How did you know?

Well, because I know your mind already.

And you go very simple.

So.

So.

Well, you said.

You said vet.

You said vets.

You said two ladies.

And I was like, okay, well, what rules pets at the front and veterinary?

Virgo, Pisces.

So.

So that's what I mean.

Two opposite signs sitting at the same job.

But check this out.

The Pisces lady, her.

Her side was a little disorganized.

She's the one.

She's the one running around trying to get the dog to, like, calm down.

Check this out.

And a Virgo lady pulled out a mini vacuum cleaner and.

And started vacuuming her.

Her keyboard.

Keyboard.

And all this.

I was like, whoa,.

I want to get in on this right now.

Me and Cody.

I'm Pisces, he's Virgo.

We're both messy as shit.

Who's more organized the Capricorn, stellium.

Well, well, well, usually.

Usually people always say that, that.

And Paul has said this before, and I actually, I believe it.

Now.

People say that, like, Virgos are really clean and neat and organized.

And Pisces can be messy because they're kind of like more chaotic, but like, Virgos can also be very messy.

They're just messy on a different level.

Like they have an organization to their mess.

Yeah, he.

There's a.

There's a method to his madness is what he tells me is like he knows where everything is, even though it looks like a giant pile of mess to me.

Yeah.

If he.

If you.

If you go touch something, he's going to know you touched it.

Like, hey, where's this?

Yeah, hey.

I know, I know.

It was down.

Halfway down past that pile in the middle of this.

It was right there.

Now I know you touched it.

Where is it?

And you probably looking like, no way you could.

Now I know it's organized confusion.

It's in the trash.

That's where I put it.

Put all that shit in the trash.

Yeah.

But be honest with you, if no one is going to see it, Virgos can be messy.

If people go and see it, they clean it so.

So you can go into Virgo's house and that part look real clean.

Clean and neat and all that.

But open their bedroom door.

No, that's.

Oh, my God.

That's exactly how we are.

Every other.

Every ounce of the house, when people come over, looks.

I mean, not spotless.

Spotless.

Not spotless.

We got kids, they have stuff all over the place.

It's impossible.

But it looks pretty good.

It's decent.

It's acceptable for.

For, you know, guests.

But then you go in our room, then you open.

You open the closet, and all the other clothes fall off.

Hey, D. Being having a little Native American blood.

And.

And you did you.

You know the story of two wolves?

The story.

Yeah, the story of two wolves.

The.

The positive one or the negative one?

The.

You say everybody has two wolves inside of them.

Two wolves inside of them.

And when you get stronger.

The one that you feed.

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

I just want to point out that I'm not American.

Native American.

I'm Mexican.

Native American.

Whatever.

Whatever.

Probably trickled down there.

Yeah, I mean, there was open borders back then.

So, like when I got my ancestry test back, it circled all of north and South America.

Like, the whole thing.

This is a triggering topic.

And then it, like pinpoint, like you're probably mostly from this area, which was like Aztec lands and Mayan territories, but we don't know.

I just, I do say I'm Aztec, though, because it sounds cool and I don't know.

So, so the, the story of the two wolves is actually the energy of.

Opposition, which makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, that's the seesaw that we.

I got a question for you.

What planet do you think represents the energy of an opposition?

If I'm not mistaken, I think it is Saturn.

You would be correct.

Yeah.

Yeah, thanks.

I've done.

I've done my homework.

Thank you.

Those are the limits, right?

Saturn with like the opposition and like limitations, like what you want to do, but what you're physically capable of doing.

Yeah.

How, how do you.

How to deal with an opposition?

You need to become aware of and use both sides by taking turns.

Most people will neglect one.

One of the planets in the opposition for some time and, and then some people will jump back, back and forth until that.

That planet will make its presence known.

You know how that planet will make its presence known?

By kicking and screaming, hey, I'm here.

Yeah, but, but, yeah, it will.

But how?

Think about what is a.

What is the opposition?

What is the opposition?

The energy of opposition.

So how will.

For it's going to come down to two choices.

Is that what you said in the road?

No, it will show up that.

In a person, group or object that represents that planet.

What?

Can, can you repeat that again?

How, how if, if you are neglecting one of your planets and your opposition, how will it show up and make itself known?

It will show up in the form of a person, group or object that, that, that resonates, that exudes that planetary.

Energy and that you're resisting and it's.

Making you face it and showing it to you in the mirror.

Yeah, that may.

That makes a lot of sense because you showed up in my life when, when I was neglecting my opposite, my son.

The planet opposite my son.

So I'm, I'm Jupiter and Virgo for you.

I made you focus and study up and all that stuff.

Pretty much, yeah.

So look at your opposite.

If you have any oppositions in your chart, look at what it is and look at the person who might be in your life that your antagonist is probably that planet that you are neglecting.

We're being shown.

You're being shown your opposite opposition so you can reclaim your power and learn the lesson.

Opposition serves as a system of checks and balances.

Do you know that light is absent of dark and dark is absence of light?

Yeah, yeah.

So put a little light in some darkness and it won't be as dark anymore.

Right.

Yeah.

I also want to say that Dorotheas, which was a.

An ancient astrologer from, like, middle.

I don't even know what the dates are.

They're like, way too far interpreted the opposition as indicating estrangement, discord and hostility.

Oh.

So sometimes when you know there's hostility in an opposition, it's usually because there's some sort of, like, love or, I don't know, some affinity involved.

I'm glad you said opposites attract because you realize that in opposition, signs that are in opposition are actually compatible with each other.

Yeah, they're.

They're called.

Yeah.

Sister signs.

Yeah.

Well, air signs oppose fire signs and air signs oppose water signs.

And those are fire and Earth are both yin energy, and air and fire are both yang energy.

They.

They.

They blend together and they.

They sextile.

Which sextile is like the Venus.

Sextiles like the Venus.

Yeah.

You.

You fast forward in Sagittarius.

Don't.

Slow the hell down.

Slow the hell down.

We gonna get there.

Okay.

Hey, did Walter.

No.

D. Both of y'.

All.

Did you realize that air element is incapable of putting out fire?

Yeah.

It strengthens a fire.

Yeah.

No, I mean, air is the only element incapable of putting out fire.

Yeah.

Like you could throw soil on a fire and put it out.

You could throw water on water, but fire, fire on the fire and put it out.

But fire needs air to start and grow and spread.

Right.

And Earth needs water to grow and spread and.

And.

Well, yeah, for things to grow up out of it.

We come alive in our relationships.

Oppositions are designated, designed to bring something to your attention to.

Oppositions tend to pull you in two different directions.

You need to learn to integrate the two energies.

And the opposition provides the greatest possibility for growth.

Yep.

Powerful.

Any last words on the opposition?

I'm good.

I've.

I've had to.

I've had to learn to, I guess, balance out my opposition.

Yeah.

I have an opposition between Saturn and Jupiter.

That one's.

That one's a little hard.

Yeah.

Because Saturn technically.

In that case, since Saturn rules the opposition, Saturn technically wins.

Right.

But Jupiter wants something completely different than Saturn.

Not necessarily.

Because.

Because Jupiter is in sag and it's rule.

Sad.

So.

And it would be.

I don't know.

I would have to see if it's to the right or to the left.

Anyway.

That's going too deep.

Yeah, that's too advanced.

It's too advanced for these people.

But, but, but if you think about it, Saturn, Saturn is in.

Even though it's in Gemini, Jupiter and Sag would automatically be a little bit stronger.

Yeah, yeah.

It's like a tug of war.

Just everyone think of, like a tug of war, you know, which one's pulling, which one's pulling the flag towards them.

Yes.
