Deeper Understanding

Sun opposite Saturn places identity and authority across the chart from each other. You might encounter your own inner critic through external authorities—bosses, institutions, circumstances that limit you.

The pattern often involves feeling held back by outside forces. The work is recognizing that the authority you project onto others is ultimately your own to claim.

This aspect matures beautifully. What feels like external limitation becomes internal structure you can rely on.

About the Opposition

Two planets face each other across the chart, creating polarity that demands integration.

Shadow

Swinging between extremes. Projecting one side onto others and fighting it there. Either-or thinking when both-and is needed.

Invitation

Where are you projecting one end of this spectrum? What would it mean to own both sides, even imperfectly?
