Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this “sun opposite moon” thing in my birth chart, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a ride. I’m no astrology expert, but I like poking around and seeing what resonates. It’s all about finding those little “aha!” moments, you know?
So, first, I pulled up my birth chart online. You just need your birth date, time, and place. Easy peasy. I stared at this circle with all the lines and symbols, feeling a little lost at first, but hey, gotta start somewhere, right?
I spotted my Sun sign – it’s that big, obvious one everyone knows. Then I looked directly across the circle to find my Moon sign. Boom! There it was, sitting right opposite my Sun. That’s the “opposition” part.
Next, I started digging into what it all supposedly means. I found some stuff online about inner conflict and balancing different parts of yourself. The Sun is like your outward personality, the “you” that you show the world. The Moon is your inner world, your emotions, and how you feel safe.
Having them opposite each other, It should felt like a constant tug-of-war.
My experiment begins
- I first tried to make sense of this opposition. I figured the best way to understand it was to just…live it and pay attention.
- So, I started journaling. Every day, I jotted down moments where I felt that “tug-of-war.” Like, times when I wanted to be outgoing and social (Sun), but also craved being alone and recharging (Moon).
- I noticed patterns. I saw how I’d push myself too hard in one direction, then swing back the other way. It was like I was constantly trying to find a balance. It was tiring!
- I decided to use more simple ways to deal with it. I started with small things. When I felt that pull between wanting to be “on” and needing downtime, I tried to honor both.
- I let myself have that quiet evening in, instead of forcing myself to go out. But I also made sure to schedule in some social time, so I wouldn’t get too isolated.
It’s still a work in progress, no doubt. But I’m learning to navigate this internal tension a little better. I’m understanding that it’s not about “fixing” the opposition, but about integrating these different parts of myself. It’s about recognizing those conflicting needs and finding ways to meet them both, without feeling like I’m being pulled in two different directions all the time. And hey, who doesn’t need practice with balance?
