August Astrological Oppositions

A T-Square is an aspect pattern that includes an opposition of (at least) 2 planets, with the opposing planets square another planet, forming a T.
With so many oppositions at once, it can feel like SOMETHING HAS TO BREAK!!!
But how far is too far– and what happens when you get to your breaking point?
Oppositions open the potential for more awareness. We are looking at something from a completely opposite perspective. It takes the ability to look at something to become conscious of it. So oppositions create more consciousness.
We may not welcome oppositions because they don’t always show us what we’d like to see. Becoming more conscious also means realizing differences, inconsistencies, doubts, and that contains the potential for tension, and conflict. Our religion has taught us that consciousness is the original sin. And that consciousness leads to nothing but problems because our true state of innocence is disrupted by our interest in becoming like God, in knowing the difference between good and evil, in becoming conscious and not innocent.
When we have an opposition in our charts or by transit, we realize there are 2 sides of the story; we lose our innocence yet we gain consciousness. It truly is a choice. Yet, if we chose to be innocent, we give up opportunities to take responsibility for ourselves, our lives, our world. It’s expected that someone else to step in and take care of us, no matter what we did because we are innocent. It’s a great philosophy. Until you have to live in the world. As an adult.
