Opposite Sun and Moon Signs (Power of Opposite Signs)

Sun opposite Moon in the natal chart creates a very competitive, sometimes confrontational nature. The major theme in life is that of polarities, extremes, and understanding. It is through pitting oneself against the other, that greater self understanding is attained. This process involves much stress and tension, as it feels like there is a constant battle to be waged against the adversary.

As if looking in a mirror, the understanding of the subconscious self comes through conscious questioning of the other. You investigate your inner nature and behavior, through the reactions they provoke in other people and in events around you. This gives you a different perspective, which over time will evolve your sometimes blinkered nature.

Gaining knowledge of the facts, or conscious reality, is the path to trusting your own subconscious, your intuition and instincts. When young, you may be more of the scientist and skeptic, but with age you learn to balance the conscious and the facts of the Sun, with the subconscious and the mysteries of the Moon. Compromise and negotiation will be mastered.

In general it means your needs and wants are not in alignment, which creates an internal struggle. I've seen people with the opposition or square up close and they are in constant internal tension. They can make this work for them and become very productive, workaholic type people but it can take a toll on their personal relationships if they are not careful, it requires work.

Another personal point of view it means you have some contradiction in your personality, for example you may desire to be an aloof, rebellious, cold, thinker type (like an aquarius would want) but then get very angry when people aren't as warm or gregarious to you (like a leo would need).

Tell me if this rings true at all:

So what if it's reversed? Aqua moon and Taurus sun. You desire stability. But when you have it, you feel trapped?
