Transit Interaction
Transiting Mars brings drive, anger, initiative, and pursuit as the moving timing factor. Natal Sun describes identity and vitality, which is the chart function being activated.
A opposition is a 180 degrees contact with polarized awareness; read the transit as an axis that asks for balance and response. The useful question is how a moving condition is contacting a natal function, not whether the aspect is simply good or bad.
For timing, compare the exact hit date with the applying orb, separating orb and any retrograde return to the same degree.

| Check | Retrograde passes | Question | Does the same aspect repeat across multiple dates? |
