Saturn is about restriction, delays, setbacks, challenging situations but also has to do with hard work, building a solid foundation and returns on diligent efforts.
Mars has to
do with energy, vitality, drive, ambition (ambition which also ties in with
Saturn), pushing its way through adversity, and meeting challenging
conditions. Mars also has to do with the
sex drive, forcefulness and aggressive actions (this all largely depends on the
sign it is in within the natal chart).
The meeting of these two energies suggests a lot of push and pull. The desire to advance with force but at the same time the need for security which can be linked to what is comfortable and therefore suggests a stop and go situation.
“Should I
advance with my proposals, am I secure enough to push my way forward, if I
push, will I make mistakes along the way, does it really matter if I push too
hard, can I learn from my mistakes and begin again” might be questions that you
would ask yourself under this influence.
You may
find that you are anxious about moving ahead with your objectives and at the
same time wanting more than anything to advance.
When we
speak of the opposition aspect, there are almost always other people involved
in the equation and their input often plays a significant part in our decision
making. They can also hold us back
because they may play a major role in when and how we advance.
Oppositions
are often challenging because others may hold control over what we are doing. We
may want to move forward but they feel that they know better and give
suggestions or even tell us that it can’t be done.
This aspect
between Saturn and Mars can create quite challenging situations when we want to
advance, and much will depend on the houses these two planets are in as well as
the overall picture provided by the natal chart itself. The Natal chart always shows potential and
difficulties, but most can be overcome through attitude or planning.
With Saturn
opposition Natal Mars, you undoubtedly will be able to figure out which way to
go but not without some restraint and perhaps some setbacks along the way. Advance accordingly and make sure you take
your time and study your plans carefully before you take that next step.
