Saturn & Mars in Aquarius – Predictions
Saturn is associated with limitations, restrictions, discipline, practicality, dispassion, obstacles, rules, law, restraint, stability, oppression, and more. Mars, on the other hand, embodies passion, aggressiveness, energy, innovation, instigation, action, activity, freedom, rebellion, and courage, among others. Therefore, when these two opposite energies come together, we may experience a mix of progress and setbacks, a push and pull effect, and starts and stops, alongside other contrasting factors that could lead to frustration and angst.
However, on a positive note, Mars represents energy, and Saturn is all about long-term sustenance. This combination can also relate to sustained energy. When Mars’s energy is combined with Saturn’s discipline, it can produce something remarkable as well. Thus, this interaction is not as negative as it might seem. If we are willing to make an effort to understand and harness this energy, we can use it in a positive way.

Conquer Fear using Mars’s Courage and Saturn’s Wisdom
There is one thing that is common between Mars and Saturn and that is “Fear”.
Mars forces us to conquer our fears with courage. Mars, after all, is the warrior of the planet kingdom, and conquering fear is one of its top agendas. Whereas Saturn wants you to be careful, so it creates unwanted fear within us, making us imagine the worst-case scenarios.
So, how do we balance these opposing energies?
Mars passionately encourages us to break free from our fears, proclaiming loudly that there is nothing to fear. On the other hand, Saturn calmly lists all the potential reasons for failure, suggesting a cautious approach and seemingly preferring us to remain in our current state. Mars is prone to mistakes due to its impulsive nature, while Saturn meticulously avoids errors. By merging the positive aspects of both energies—Mars’s courage and Saturn’s wisdom—we can navigate this transit successfully.
