What does opposition mean in astrology?
At opposition, Earth is in the middle of a line between an outer planet and the sun, and we see the sun at one end of our sky and the opposition planet in the opposite direction. It’s as if you’re standing directly between two friends as you chat in the supermarket, and you need to turn your head halfway around to see one and then the other.
What happens if a sky object is opposite the Sun?
When a sky object is opposite the sun in our sky, astronomers say it is in opposition to the sun. The object can be an outer planet, such as Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune. It can also be a dwarf planet such as Pluto, or an asteroid, such as Vesta. Opposition is an important event for stargazers.
