Mars conjunct Sirius in early September 2026 coincides with Mars square Saturn. This is a dangerous combination that indicates violence and war.

Fixed star Sirius has a Jupiter-like nature gives wealth, fame, and good fortune. However, it also has a Mars-like nature that links it with anger, bloodshed, theft, lawsuits, invasion, weapons, and conflict. Sirius has a fierce, powerful, domineering, proactive, and highly aggressive and destructive nature.

Mars is the planet of anger, violence and war. With Sirius, it brings aggression, courage, cunning, cruelty, unrest, plunder, violence and war.

Mars square Saturn creates difficulty in self-expression and resistance to your ambitions. This leads to a buildup of suppressed anger and resentment that causes frustration, a negative attitude and poor judgment.

Without self-awareness and patience, the buildup of hot, negative energy can escape as criticism, meanness, cruelty, envy, spite, temper tantrums, and reckless acts of aggression and violence.

But Mars with Sirius square Saturn is not a good omen for assertive actions. A defensive position is advised. By trying to advance and gain more ground, you could lose what you already have. Those who start a fight will most likely lose.

The ancient Chinese knew Sirius as the Wolf Star, or the Wild General, signifying killing and plundering. It was associated with invasion by barbarian armies, weapons becoming expensive, war, disaster and cannibalism.

If any of the Five Planets transgress this region, a large-scale war will break out, and theft increases significantly. [Song History, Volume 50, Chapter 3, 1346.]
