Typical is the swinging back and forth – sometimes you live one side, sometimes the other – and the projection: the unlived half meets you strikingly often in the shape of other people who embody exactly what you do not see in yourself.",{"heading":31,"body":32},"Light and shadow","Its shadow is permanent conflict: the back and forth between two poles, which costs energy, and the tendency to stage the inner contradiction as an outer dispute. Its light is awareness: no aspect teaches more thoroughly that two truths can hold at the same time. People who live their oppositions develop breadth of vision and the art of negotiation – they know both sides from the inside.",{"heading":34,"body":35},"Interpretation in the chart","Oppositions always run across a house axis and thus join two areas of life into one arc of tension – origins and calling (4\u002F10), for instance, or I and you (1\u002F7). The question for interpretation is never “which side wins?”, but “how do both carry together?”. Mature oppositions become balance: a both-and with conscious alternation instead of unconscious swinging.",[37,40],{"q":38,"a":39},"Is an opposition something bad?","No – it is strenuous and strongly developmental at the same time. Oppositions create the awareness that conjunctions lack: the distance from which both forces can be seen and reconciled.",{"q":41,"a":42},"Why do I keep meeting my opposition themes in other people?","That is the typical projection of this aspect: the unlived side of the opposition is delegated to other people and fought or admired there. Taking the projection back is the path of development.","\u002Fen\u002Faspects\u002Fopposition\u002F",[45,48],{"title":46,"path":47},"Conjunction","\u002Fen\u002Faspects\u002Fconjunction\u002F",{"title":49,"path":50},"Square","\u002Fen\u002Faspects\u002Fsquare\u002F",1793051118222]
