MARS SQUARE SATURN

This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.

Mars is busy, hyper and action-oriented. Mars is assertive, aggressive and competitive, while Saturn rules stability and responsibility. It is also disciplined and cautious. Saturn rules the father, limitations and authority figures.

This aspect is the classic contradiction of wanting to push forward (Mars) yet feeling held back (Saturn). That is because Mars is impulsive and aggressive, while Saturn is self-limiting and restrictive. It will take some work to control this energy in order to get it to a workable level of success. You may feel action-oriented to do something and then suddenly talk yourself out of it because of this or that. Read more in my Astrology Aspects eBook - click the graphic below!
