Jupiter Venus Opposition - Tug of War
Jupiter - Brihaspati is the Sura Guru - Guru of the Devas. HE blesses us with wisdom, knowledge, prosperity and truth.
Jupiter is the Jiva Karaka that represents the life in every living being!
Jupiter inspires us to change towards the better through higher learning, spirituality, etc.
Venus - Shukra is the Asura Guru - Guru of the Asuras. HE blesses us with tapasya (penance), love, comfort and prosperity. Venus has the power of Mrtunjaya from Lord Shiva. Venus inspires us to change with fulfillment of desires.
When Venus moves into the sign of Leo, there will be a mutual aspect/opposition between Jupiter and Venus.
When the two Gurus of the zodiac oppose each other, it could create a lot of disconnect, power struggles and tension. You may lack clarity as you could be presented with more than one way to move forward.
Though both these planets are considered the great benefics, when they oppose each other they can be strong and firm on their own agendas which leaves us in a state of friction. There could be difference of opinions and conflicts as we may find it hard to let go of our staunch beliefs. It is wise to be aware of this energy and avoid conflicts and negativity.
