Aspects › Opposition › Mars opposition South Node
♂︎ ☍︎ ☋︎ Mars opposition South Node
The opposition strings Mars and the South Node along one axis, so each tends to be met out in the world, in other people, rather than owned within.
In this pairing Mars carries drive, courage, and appetite, while the South Node carries inherited ease and old habit. The aspect describes how those two departments of a life meet.
Across this divide, a target and to be released look like opposites, and the pull is to pick a side. The real work is holding both, since each carries half of the truth.
As a transit, Mars moving to opposition the South Node marks a passing window, hours to days for the Moon, months or years for the slow outer bodies, when the theme is live and worth watching. In a birth chart the same aspect is a standing feature of character rather than a single moment.
Here the opposition joins Mars (drive and desire) with South Node (the familiar past), held 180° apart.
Right now
Mars and South Node currently stand about 43.0° apart, 137.0° away from an exact opposition. Watch it move on the live clock.
