Mars Conjunct Saturn Natal and Transit

Mars conjunct Saturn maximum orb 6°00′.

Mars conjunct Saturn natal gives a strong determination, enduring strength, courage and the capacity for hard work. However, suppressed anger and resentment are also possible. Your Mars desires, sexuality, and creativity can be positively influenced by Saturn’s discipline and strong work ethic. Yet the darker side of Saturn can also affect your desires.

Sexually, this can mean tremendous stamina and remaining sexually attractive and active later in life. It also allows for a sensible exploration and expression of the taboo sides of sexuality involving pleasure and pain, domination and submission. Traditionally, this aspect is said to cause frustration and difficulty expressing anger and even nastiness. However, looking at the charts of people with this aspect, the overwhelming theme is a healthy expression of the darker desires and sustained effort leading to prolific work in the career.

If Mars conjunct Saturn in the chart were harshly aspected or on a troublesome fixed star, then we might expect this aspect’s more heartless and malicious nature to be displayed. In this case, the key would be finding a positive outlet for the energy through creative endeavors, and Mars does represent goal-directed energy. Once a real passion in life is found, even if a bit dark, self-discipline and determination should ensure that the manifestation is positive and productive, not destructive to the self or others.

Mars Conjunct Saturn Transit

Mars conjunct Saturn transit can be quite variable in effect, and it can ignite your darkest desires or give you the stamina and patience to complete the most complex tasks. It provides enduring strength, courage and the capacity for hard work. However, suppressed anger and resentment are also possible.

Initially, this transit tends to make you angry, resentful, or revengeful. However, if you channel it early into hard physical work or a creative project, you transmute this energy into positive and productive achievements.

Taking the low road due to ignorance or laziness can lead to frustration and difficult situations. Going with the flow and not taking the initiative will allow frustration to build to a dangerous level. This destructive energy could then manifest as risky actions due to impatience.

On the other hand, this negative energy could manifest through another person’s destructive actions toward you, such as nastiness or violence.

This is not the right time to go to war as there is a danger when taking risks. Stay home, sharpen your knives, and work hard with patience and forethought. Use this determined energy constructively or creatively.
