Around the zodiac wheel- Oppositions on house axis: 1st-7th?

I'd like to start a conversation (if I may use this kind of word here) about the effects of oppositions based on the type of house they are found in. Personal experience is greatly appreciated, but you're all welcome to answer even if you don't have this kind of aspect yourself. Particularly, I'd like to know your thoughts on the kind of problems that this aspect causes and the sort of compromise needed from both planets in order to reach balance. I'm going to use the 1st-7th house axis for starters. Relationship with self - relationship with others...As every pair of opposing houses, the 1st and 7th ones are interactive and influential in each other's activity...even more so when their energies are channeled through planets that oppose each other. If you have such an opposition in your chart, how has it manifested in your life so far? Have you invented some kind of trade-off in order to reconcile your opposing energies? Or do you naturally bounce forth and back without being able to find the "happy medium"?

1. Mine is kinda off the wall. The only opposition in my chart is Chiron in 4th house in Gemini and Mars in 10th house in Sagittarius. To me, Chiron is my own wounded healer--what I seem to lack in skill on myself but how I use that to transform it into healing for others. Since it falls in the 4th house, because my home life is rather erratic and flighty, I know what it's like to have a "broken" home, so to speak. I know what kinds of drama at home can unfold. I know what it's like to have parents who aren't exactly the most solid. I guess in this instance, I help other people deal with their family problems at home. I feel at times that I am their safe haven away from home. Mars, the planet of conflict, chaos, sexual drive, and passion opposes Chiron. I think instead of adding general chaos to my chart, it strengthens my Chiron even more so in dealing with conflicts at home. I know what to expect, because I've been "there" in some form of another. However, I DO have alot of family problems at home. And because Sagittarius rules my 10th house, there have been many a time where I just wanted to run away from home because of all the problems. So I grew up wanting to stay away from home as much as possible, until i got my own place where I always there! 10th house represents my entreprenurial spirit, my ambition, ruled by Mars, excites this house where I could become a workaholic if I'm not careful. And because of the opposing forces of Chiron and Mars here, I'd let myself be a workaholic so long as it keeps me away from home! However, I must remember that MY home is my haven--I control this environment, not the rest of my family. All other parts of my natal chart have no opposing planets in them. I think that's a good thing.
2. i've pluto moon conjunction both opposite to ascendant (aries). moon very close to cusp but in 7th house, pluto in 6th. both in libra. i'm still trying to figure out what it really means. all the sources i read so far interpreting things like this; ascendant pluto conjunction means; blablabla... but wait a second... what's that ascendant and where's that pluto, what kind of aspects they are receiving... pluto definitely intensifying my moon in a good way since it's a conjunction. it makes me want to understand and even control everything i feel down to their very foundations. there's an everlasting analyzing process in my brain that keep looking behind the things, trying to find out what's my and others' motivations. hopefully both in libra and that's a good bonus for them to work well together. i'm quite paranoid but usually i turn out right to be suspectful. now come blend this with my ascendant aries as a double opposition, that's the hard part. while opposite pluto intesifies my asc in a bad way (take aries' bad qualities and multiply them with 2) my moon casting an opposite to my asc as well, should make it "look like" (since we are talking about ascendant) emotionless... so from outside, i'll look cold and pretty unpredictable and maybe even dangerous. you'll have a hard time guessing my sun in cancer, which, quite confortable with such a hard shell in fact. even though those are opposing energies that doesn't mean they are not getting integrated in some way. i definitely not bounce back and forth cause there's no back and forth.
