Meaning

What Moon Opposition North Node means

Opposition (180°): two poles ask for a decision or a balance. Neither side wins for long. You swing back and forth, and the swinging is the point. Oppositions often show up through other people. The person across from you carries the side you have not lived yet and keeps handing it back until you accept both halves.
