Mars Opposite Jupiter —October 2023 

Mars Opposite Jupiter —Until 2045, Jupiter will always be retrograde when Mars opposes it. As for Mars in this configuration, it will be retrograde only in 2048 when it opposes Jupiter – this will be the year when Mars will oppose Jupiter for 2x (times), which tells me 2048 will be quite savage, exciting and adrenaline rusher. This is the time when Zeus goes to war. 

Since Jupiter will be retrograde until 2045 when such configuration happens, envisage these oppositions to be self-reflective while challenging our inner faith. On the other side, expect these antagonisms to bring inward gifts and deep zeitgeist because of Mars’ actions. Until 2048, whenever these oppositions happen, expect Mars to be careless, fast and furious, but it could also indicate he could be a hero for all. 

Mars is in domicile in Scorpio, the sign of intensity, passion and immediate pleasure – Jupiter in counterpart transits Taurus the Zodiac sign of calmness, loyalty and foreplay. Both signs have “fixity” in common, and the axis can be completed by integration of the polarity into a single thrust. That means there is time for calmness but also give room to intensity, or that there is time for foreplay but also give room when the time comes to passion and climax. One thing leads to another, a complementation of a kind. 

Under such “fast-expending” transit, expect the world to fight against laws and rules that no longer serve – Mars is traditional ruler of Scorpio, and it has this purging quality that evacuates all the unnecessaries, while Jupiter is the ruler of the universe that when in Taurus, it eats more than it can chew, thus expect such evacuation to be quite gross. 

The Mars-Jupiter opposition is war on religion, faith & convictions. Conflicts around what one believes to that what other people believe in are the rule – what one “cannot see”, one “cannot command”, it becomes rather a far-reaching paradise, yet the goals are set and actions are bubbling. Perhaps humans now can see clear exactly where they need to go with assertiveness even when that seems way too remote. 

What do you want to conquer in this world? – they’d would ask to themselves. Exploration and new adventures are waiting for you. Fasten your seat belts, because when Mars encounter Jupiter (Rx) as opposition, people are inclined to annihilate their inner “god”, almost like revolting against what their once believed in because the world showed them otherwise. It is rather a quest of battling inner doubts with confidence, even when the person shall adapt one’s own beliefs, yet on one’s own terms. Do want to befriend with the creature or fight against it?

Mars rules the penis, the private part of a biological men – under this planetary aspect, there’s this big thirst for sexual activities that can be highly addictive, where such drive needs release of a sort. People are aroused to make big jumps, extraordinary moves, extensive measures to get what they need in order to fulfil the gaps between Mars & Jupiter themes, signs and houses axis. With Jupiter retrograde when such opposition perfects exact, expect a mark in your book of greater conquers and stories of courage. 

The image I have in mind, is a church being raided by authorities. Or, a sudden explosion in an historical site. Or, a person standing alone fighting against religious persecution. Or, a person facing their final judgment day at the court. Or, a hero which image turned upside down by opposite wing.
