Astro Gradual, unlocking your Cosmic heartbeat

Moon opposition Mars

Moon opposition Mars makes you a passionate and emotional person. You are a fighter but can suffer from being too aggressive or defensive. Your bravery and fighting spirit make you very competitive and winning is important to you. Your instinct is simply to have what you want. You take the shortest route to fulfil your desires and often forget to consider the needs of others. You are prone to a short temper when you don’t get what you want. Your competitive nature means you won’t give up which can cause bad moods, arguments, aggression, and conflict. Regardless of the rights or wrongs of a situation, you will often win because of your passion and energy. Winning at any cost will come at a price and your intimate relationships suffer the most. The key to maintaining harmony in relationships is to choose your battles with more care and consideration. Always try to think before reacting and think about how your loved ones will be affected. With some self-control, you can learn to live with some minor irritations. Cooperation and letting little things ride are not signs of weakness or defeat. Moon opposition Mars can apply your aggressive instincts and emotional energy into hard work and things you are passionately devoted to. Standing up for the rights of vulnerable people or those less fortunate than you are great ways to channel your fighting spirit. If you cannot express your emotional frustrations and anger, you may be the victim of aggression from others. This seems a less common manifestation of Moon opposite Mars but it can lead to dangerous situations such as domestic violence if left unresolved.

Moon opposition Mars

Being born with Moon opposition Mars, you have an inner tension to work out between your driving determination and your emotional needs and vulnerabilities. You most likely focus more on the martial side of things in order to feel protected as well as being able to be in a strong position to protect the people and places you care about. You can be a tireless worker who is willing to put your personal feelings to the side in order to get the job done as effectively as possible. You have a competitive and ambitious nature that needs to be expressed in some way in your life, however, you also need to make sure you are not neglecting your own needs for emotional connection with others. Be careful not to become too guarded and defensive in relationships requiring a cultivation of intimacy. You may have some subconscious fears of becoming too vulnerable, but if you want to create an emotionally fulfilling personal relationship, you will need to let your guard down.

People with Moon opposition Mars can be precocious, animated, and passionate. They seek emotional excitement in their lives. Although they often project a brave and tough image, their skin isn’t as thick as they’d have you believe. They tend to put up defences due to their emotionally vulnerable and excitable disposition. Unrest is characteristic, as they are bored by routine and become easily frustrated when life is “too easy”. There’s a buzz of energy surrounding them, and they tend to meet with many conflicts in their lives. With the opposition, the conflict tends to be lived through relationships. The passions are quite raw, especially in youth. If they can channel their excitable energy into sports or some other competitive field, all the better. Although they can be amiable and interesting people, others always seem to sense their boundaries. Something is bound to get them worked up, and it’s not always clear what that something will be! Their bluntness can be both appreciated and considered offensive, depending on their audience. Moon opposition Mars are eager to make a personal impact on those around them. Some of them are too eager in this sense, and they come across as self-absorbed and difficult to stomach. Patience is definitely not their strong point! Their responses are quick, and they are passionate people who are usually quite courageous although their energy is sporadic and sometimes wasted.

Moon opposition Mars are passionated individuals

Under Moon opposition Mars, you often feel emotionally uncomfortable, and others may find you hard to understand. Inner tensions and unresolved issues are likely to be projected onto social relationships, this creates both difficult experiences and the settings for crises and turning points. Your inner pressures are released within relationships, through arguments, dissension, provocation, and antagonism. You tend to turn even trivial issues into energy-filled confrontations and clashes. This will obviously affect career prospects and domestic life as these rebellious feelings will be stimulated by anyone imposing their will on you through authority, orders, or criticism. Anyone crossing this line and irritating your feelings is liable to be confronted by an extremely obstinate and stubborn character. Co-workers will soon lose patience with an emotionally erratic colleague, who can suddenly become aggressive when facing criticism or personal comment. And friends will learn to withdraw from contact. You need to resolve the difficulty of getting instincts and emotions to co-operate with an active and assertive Martian energy. Sometimes you may favour one of the planets, and when this is Mars, you are liable to act impulsively, making sudden decisions which could be irrational, foolish, and lacking in forethought. However, such actions sometimes allow you to break free from restrictive situations. Expressing the lunar energy may encourage cautious self-protection, remaining with the status quo, and being afraid to move beyond familiar behaviour patterns. The challenge is to unite both energies, honouring each as equally valid and necessary for a well-balanced personality. Part of this aggressive and assertive nature may be rooted in your relationship with your mother.

Born with Moon opposition Mars, childhood feelings may have been denied through a lack of emotional contact, or through having to submit to an oppressive home regime of duty and behaviour. In adult life, you refuse to submit to this again, yet unconsciously repeat the pattern by attempting to impose your will on others. Hoping to gain superiority, you may be too assertive in your desire to become a leader and not a follower. This often results in a distorted self-image, both to you and to others, as you fall into the trap of becoming number one and behaving in ways which are cold, arrogant, and overly assertive. You hate others resisting your will and when this happens, you respond with a personal attack. Sometimes such an antagonistic stance may succeed, but eventually its costs far exceed those of other more moderate approaches. Yet your personality can appear attractive to many and there is certainly a validity that can intrigue quite a few, even though it is often a distorted expression of the planetary energies. Choosing companions, both friends and lovers, is one area where weaknesses may appear, as you are often attracted to people who turn out to be unsuitable characters with equally volatile emotional difficulties. Intimate relationships may be limited to physical expression, or entered for material reasons, as you may repress the deeper emotional and subtler dimensions of interpersonal contact.

Sustaining relationships is difficult as time passes and once initial attractions fade, relationships collapse. Satiating superficial feelings is easier than dealing with your deeper needs, and these you prefer to avoid. Moon opposition Mars are drawn towards exciting experiences which lead into dubious areas of life where the excitement you crave may prove to not be at all beneficial. Much depends on your choice of fellow travellers, as your personality tendencies can dissipate and deplete energies if efforts are not consistently made to reunify conflicting traits. In a similar way, you may fail to fulfil promises made to others due to inner changeability and lack of commitment, and responsible behaviour may not be one of your strongest assets. Routines and partnerships may fail to satisfy. Reactions against fixed lifestyle patterns may make it difficult for you to relax and then create psychosomatic health problems like stomach tensions and digestion issues. Repressing genuine feelings is not wise. You may need to acknowledge your lunar qualities more openly and find space in your life to allow its proper expression. Lessons are needed to discover how compromise is important for developing better relations. You may need to find new forms of self-assertion, ones which recognize that others should be given equal respect. This can help to moderate your overbearing tendencies. Through greater insight, you can gain more clarity in your relationships. And as self-centered behaviours diminish, more positive attitudes will prove highly transforming to your perspective on the world and the realism with which you see it. Accepting the need to live harmoniously with others can readjust your sense of proportion and help you realize that you can contribute to the well-being of all, instead of merely indulging in alienated antagonism.
