MARS OPPOSING JUPITER
'THE SOLDIER OF FORTUNE - MERCENARY'
This aspect depicts conflict which, when resolved, results in growth. Oppositions show a tug of war between opposing forces. If they are resolved, then the oppositions become the backbone and strength of the chart.
It is important to understand that Mars is busy, hyper and action-oriented. Mars is assertive, aggressive and competitive, while Jupiter is happy-go-lucky and optimistic. Jupiter is lucky, adventurous and abundant. It is also very benevolent, generous and philanthropic. Jupiter rules religion and higher education.
This aspect represents the classic 'Soldier of Fortune' or 'The Mercenary'.
This would be someone who is very friendly, likeable and outgoing to those around them, but yet their real motivation is their own self-interest. OUCH! DANG! Well folks, it's True. And no, President Trump does not have this aspect in his chart.
This would be someone who benefits either popularity wise or material wise from the cause they are promoting or crusading. There may be a religious or philosophic connection as well since Jupiter is involved, which is the planet that rules religion, philosophy and the higher thinking mind. This aspect reveals a very high sense of importance. This aspect is opinionated and often pisses off others in its wake.
Mars is all out competition, full throttle, pressed down and running over. Mars is intent on winning and has no thought of losing. Losing doesn't even cross Mars's mind. There is no other option, but to win. Mars considers itself the victor before the game, war or competition even begins. Mars sees itself on the podium accepting a bouquet of roses, adorned with a crown of laurel leaves and wearing the medal of distinction.
Jupiter is friendly, adventurous, has religion and a strong philosophic backbone. Jupiter is on a crusade or a cause that it promotes without apology, hesitation or reservation. Jupiter is opinionated and has a high sense of purpose.
Celebrities or 'characters' who have this in their natal chart are - Rambo character (the U.S., military, veterans), George Clooney (actor, Congo cause, Trump obsessor-hater) and Richard Gere (actor, Tibet cause, Trump obsessor-hater).
