An opposition occurs when two planets sit directly across the zodiac from each other. This aspect creates tension between two opposing needs or drives, often experienced through relationships and projection. The challenge is to integrate both sides rather than swinging between extremes. Oppositions can be highly productive when the tension is consciously worked with.
