Mars Square Saturn...

starts on December 29 (using a 1 degree orb), is exact on December 30 at 2.29am in Kilmore, leaves on December 31.  Mars at 16 degrees and 33 minutes of Capricorn, Saturn at 16 degrees and 33 minutes of Libra.


Mars is the planet of action, passion, getting things done, acting before thinking, drive, direction, etc and gives us the direction we need in life to focus our energies. Saturn is often associated with responsibility, slowing down, thinking before acting, and structure.

These two planets like to get things done but have a very different approach to each other, making the connection between them frustrating - especially through the square which suggests that they will be working at cross-purposes to each other. This is likely to be an extremely frustrating and irritating period of time for everyone when we will probably feel blocked and unable to move ahead on our current path.

By looking at which houses Mars and Saturn are in you can get a feel for where you can expect this tension to be experienced.  Also look at which houses have Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius on the cusps for more information if you need it.

If you have personal planets and/or points in Capricorn and/or Aries then you may feel this transit more keenly than others.
