Mars Opposite Saturn Natal

Mars opposite Saturn natal requires a lot of hard work to master. For some karmic reason associated with violence or sex, you must fight hard to get what you want out of life. A certain amount of frustration and disappointment may be experienced before you enjoy the satisfaction of fulfilling your firm desires.

You will be forced to compete for your fair share of resources. Most often, your wants and needs will be blocked by another person. Though sometimes a fateful event will block your path. Anger is the first step, as this combination of malefic planets can turn nasty and spiteful.

Timing is crucial in managing your anger. You tend to hold onto anger for too long, which is unsuitable for your health. Yet it would be best to give yourself time to understand your feelings and plan your actions. You will find the right mix of patience and initiative with time and experience.

Other people may get angry at you or act in some nasty way to block you, lock you out or take something away from you. You may be subject to bullying, psychological or physical abuse, or sexual harassment.

As a result of such opposition, you may become depressed. So it is important not to let negativity take hold because of the potential for self-abuse. It is essential to constantly work on your self-esteem through a positive attitude and physical exercise. Muscular strength and self-confidence will deter many people who would potentially hurt you.

Physical activity that teaches self-discipline is the ultimate manifestation of this aspect in a positive light. Martial arts or boxing can do wonders for your self-esteem, and such activities also help burn up any stored negative energy, such as anger and hate.

While young, you may have trouble with authority figures such as your dad, teachers, and police. If so, they would have taught you valuable self-control and anger management lessons. As a result, you will become a master of discipline, patience, and steely determination.

Mars Opposite Saturn Transit

Mars opposite Saturn transit brings frustration, disappointment, and anger. Frustration arises from others standing in your way, and disappointment stems from unfulfilled desires. The resulting outrage is challenging to express and therefore requires patience and self-discipline.

Even without contending with adversaries, you can be your worst enemy. This low or slow energy transit can make you feel weak, inadequate, unattractive or impotent. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t beat yourself up, as there may be a tendency to substance abuse.

Personal attacks at this time can be excruciating and bring out a mean streak in you. Others may maliciously try to damage your reputation or career, and there may be karmic undertones behind envy, hatred or jealousy.

As mentioned earlier, you may initially find it difficult to express anger and require time to understand what has just happened or recover from the shock. However, it would be best if you release the anger from your body. Otherwise, this hot and destructive energy would remain trapped deep inside, harming your body, mind, and spirit.

Once you regain your composure, you must tell people how hurt you feel from the bullying. If that is pointless, strenuous physical activity can help burn off the anger. Controlled release of energy through sustained effort is the best approach. Examples of such exercise are a long workout, swimming or jogging.

Avoiding conflict altogether by channeling this energy into a productive activity is possible. Self-discipline, patience, and steely determination can lead to satisfying results. Sharpen your knives. Don’t use them.
