New Moon on Monday Astrology

- Jana Bouc

8 November 2011

In honor of Thursday’s FULL MOON, here’s a quick refresher on oppositions.

A Full Moon, remember, is always an opposition between the Sun and the Moon.  So the Full Moon will always be in the opposite sign that the Sun is in at the time. Thursday’s Full Moon is in Taurus, the opposite sign to Scorpio, where the Sun is right now.  

There are 12 signs in the zodiac

The 1st sign, ARIES, is opposite … . . the 7th sign, LIBRA

The 2nd sign, TAURUS, is opposite… the 8th sign, SCORPIO

The 3rd sign, GEMINI, is opposite… . the 9th sign, SAGITTARIUS

The 4th sign, CANCER, is opposite… . the 10th sign, CAPRICORN

The 5th sign, LEO, is opposite… … .the 11th sign, AQUARIUS

The 6th sign, VIRGO, is opposite… . . the 12th sign, PISCES

If you’re just beginning to learn Astrology, getting to know the opposite signs is a great place to start.  At the very least, try to get to know what sign is opposite your own Sun, Rising and Moon signs.  You’ll get them all by heart before you know it.  

Here are some things to remember: 

*

FIRE signs are ALWAYS opposite AIR signs, and vice versa

WATER signs are ALWAYS opposite EARTH signs, an vice versa

*

Opposite signs will always be of the same QUALITY.  Cardinal opposes Cardinal, Fixed opposes Fixed, and Mutable opposes Mutable

Some say opposites attract.  How do you feel about your opposite sign?
