The Venus-Mars Opposition
in the Natal Chart
Some Empirical Research Results

In this article we present our empirical research regarding the Venus Mars opposition (aspect of 180°) in the natal chart.

How We proceed

To analyze the aspects and astrological configurations we make use of the AstroDatabank, which currently contains far over 58,000 birth data.

Unlike our statistical research projects, there is no software to help us find common traits and characteristics concerning planetary aspects and there are no control groups and no chi squares etc. that we use either.

On the one hand, the AstroDatabank has numerous categories to find common traits but on the other side, the AstroDatabank is still not detailed and not complete enough.

In our empirical research, we make a difference between the natal charts of men and women and only use birth data with a Rodden Rating of A and higher.

Also, we make a difference between applying and separating aspects.

To find the essence of the aspects, we only use a very tight orb of 1°!

This way, we avoid overlapping (unknown or other minor) aspects and know that the aspect will manifest quite strongly.

Mind though: every aspect is part of a larger whole and hardly ever stands alone or apart.

That's why some descriptions may be wrong in some personal instances.

This will especially be the case when other exact aspects (0°00'-0°01' orb) can be found in the natal chart because these will overrule the less exact ones.

Our descriptions are traits and characteristics that can be found in the majority of the cases taken from the AstroDatabank.

The Results

Let's first take a look at the general research results concerning the Venus-Mars opposition aspect in the natal chart of men and women.

Interestingly and quite surprisingly, only few (wo)men were found in the AstroDatabank with an exact Venus Mars opposition!

This results in some blank and/or inconclusive findings below.

The General Meaning of the Venus Mars opposition

The APPLYING Venus-Mars opposition

Let's now take a look at the research results concerning the APPLYING Venus-Mars opposition aspect in the natal chart of men and women.

Below is an image of an applying Venus-Mars opposition.

An applying aspect occurs when the aspect is still to become exact because the degrees and minutes of the two planets are coming closer together to become exact (at the same numerical degree and minute).

In other words, both planets are moving together to build an exact aspect (orb 0°00').

The SEPARATING Venus-Mars opposition

Let's now take a look at the research results concerning the SEPARATING Venus-Mars opposition in the natal chart of men and women.

Below is an image of a separating Venus-Mars opposition.

A separating aspect occurs when the aspect has been exact already and the degrees and minutes of the two planets can no longer become exact (at the same numerical degree and minute).

In other words, both planets are moving apart from the exact aspect (orb 0°00').
