The Mars-Jupiter opposition places the person on an axis between personal force and large meaning. Mars wants to act, argue, defend, conquer, and prove. Jupiter wants to be right, teach, expand, influence society, live by an idea, and see itself as part of a larger story. In opposition, the person often feels that there is never enough: space, recognition, money, victories, students, enemies, and reasons to prove their rightness.
The aspect may give strong practical intelligence, ambition, the ability to pass on experience, defend ideas, and fight hypocrisy. But if the energy is unconscious, generosity becomes waste, pride becomes boasting, help becomes imposition, and the fight for justice becomes a personal war. The person may sincerely want to benefit others, yet become angry if they do not follow voluntarily.
