By this I mean the square, the opposition and the conjunction.I am not sure of the trine, sextile aspect- as I have yet to experience them. I don't have this aspect natally , but I can assume that it can mean "suppressed anger". I have this aspect with many people who have featured consistently in my life for many years. I don't feel indifferent to either of them and its hard to "cut" them out of my life. The first is my ex. He has Saturn in Libra 21 Degrees conjunct my Mars in Libra 17 Degrees. In the relationship with him, I was always so angry and acting like the "jealous" type. I would scream and shout at him and be frustrated that he didn't respond in kind. It almost communicated to me that he just didn't care. And that riled me up to no end. The second is with my friend for many years. He also has his Saturn in Libra 10 Degrees conjunct my Mars in Libra 17 Degrees. You'd think that this is too wide a conjunction to note, but I tell you that I behave in a similar fashion with him. I want all his attention and can get easily angry at him for not giving it. The 3rd one is also with a friend with the same aspect; Saturn in Libra 10 Degrees aspecting my Mars. Our friendship ended, was revived and then ended and is now revived again. We are also far from being indifferent to each other and behave like we are an on/off couple. With him, I tend to act very aggressively and don't like it when he gives others more attention than he does to me. The last is with a potential guy who has his Mars in Scorpio 14 Degrees conjunct my Saturn in Scorpio 13. In this case, being Saturn, I found him "childish", "selfish", "hot-headed" and "too much to deal with". I am not indifferent to him either. In fact, sometimes I just want to beat him up so that he can "tow the bloody line". I am extremely controlling of him and definitely treat him like I'm his "Daddy". Never mind the fact that we are both of the same age. So, I just wanted to hear from you guys. Is this placement destructive? Because, even though its not noted as one that is very volatile, in my experience, it seems to be both explosive(Mars) AND endearing(Saturn). IP: Logged |

my father has cap mars square libra saturn. He's not destructive or has anger issues, although he puts up a good fight when mom wants it. I know another who has taurus mars oppose scorp saturn n from what I can see he's not destructive. I don't know heaps about his private life though.. in synastry, my s.o saturn opposes my mars n my saturn trines his mars. We had some pretty heated fights/arguments, but they never last long. Often they ended just as quickly as they started (I have great respect for his opinions and he's quite tolerating towards me). Mostly because of disagreements on how to deal with certain situation/circumstances. But we have quite a few squares n oppositions so... Synastry with my best friend, my taurus mars trine her cap saturn. We've known each other since we were little n we have never fought. Same with my good cousin, my taurus mars trine her libra saturn.

As the Mars (14 Scorpio) conjunct my friend's Saturn 16 Scorpio, I'd agree with you on some things. He thinks I'm immature (I probably am), he acts like my father, my actions frustrate him, and he tries to teach my mars some values. I adore him though. Even when he's frustrated with me.

Did you mean natal or synastry? Because I have stories about people with natal mars Saturn hard aspects too. I think they're afraid of being destructive, so they learn to be extremely self controlled. 1) same friend I mentioned has mars conjunct Saturn. He has harnessed it pretty well into fitness. Every single man I've met with a mars conjunct Saturn has a spectacular body. Not just nice, straight out spectacular. Impeccable self control but sometimes too much. A little letting go would be fun, you know. 2) mars square Saturn. Struggles with his masculinity. I mean, it's clearly there, but struggles with embodying it in a positive way. Too much self control because of fear. IP: Logged |

I meant both nataly as well as in synastry because this is a learning curve for me.I used to wonder,agonizing, why my first relationship didn't work out. I mean , I knew that we didn't really click, but the feelings that we have for each other still linger on. I am not indifferent to him(nor he to me). I think Saturn/Mars conjunct makes sense for one to have a spectacular physique. Saturn is commitment and Mars is drive and so, the two together can build something solid. But I find the longevity of this aspect fascinating. I know that it is not listed as "desirable" , but I can't help but see its significance. And I think, what I meant by "destructive" was purely because of the readings I sifted through. Mars is action/energy and Saturn is restriction and control. I wonder if couples who are violent with each other have the square? Or perhaps those who have challenging relationships with parents should look into Saturn squaring their Mars either nataly or in synastry? I know that this is the negative side of this aspects as it also can suggest a strong sexual attraction(Mars) that lingers on and on(Saturn) in couples. My mother has Saturn in Capricorn squaring my Mars in Libra (by 2 Degrees): She has been very instructive and involved in many choices/decisions in my life. My Dad is not at all hands on.In this regard the square is a positive influence. IP: Logged |

I have mars sextile saturn. Idk fitness type bodies are not my personal aesthetic that I wish to achieve. More like waif and legs for days.I just really feel my body accurately represents me. oh I also had Venus/Mars sextile Saturn in synastry. I think saturn aspects stabilize the Venus/Mars square Uranus-Neptune too IP: Logged |

I get your frustration. Since I have also experienced this-being the Mars person. But once you are Saturn. Once you are the "parent" and being the "cool, calm, collected" party, it's not so easy to judge. Saturn to Venus cools the charms or strengthens them. If you are Venus in that scenario, you may feel "unloved" by Saturn as Saturn rarely seems to show you anything. This is even worse if the individual concerned has Saturn aspecting Mercury/Venus/Moon or Sun nataly. They seem so "dead" to you. On the other hand,you could also feel like the relationships is very serious and is likely to be for life; this is in the latter instance when Saturn is serious about sticking around and being your companion for life. If you are Saturn, you bring "sobriety" to Venus and can crush or build the relationship. You may find it hard to receive the affections of Venus openly; seeing them as "corny", "superfluous" and embarrassing". But if you love the Venus individual, you'll have to make a conscious effort to really show that you care. You don't have to wear your heart on your sleeve, but show that you also bleed. With Saturn/Mars in synastry , it is similar. It can go either way: The Saturn person can extinguish the fires of Mars person or help them burn productively (and this takes a very evolved Saturn person to do) I was about to enter into a relationship where I was the Saturn person, and believe you me, I just was very hard on the Mars guy. And the more fire he spat, the less interested I seemed in all his "tantrums". It drove him nuts! It was getting quite dangerous between us and I wasn't ready for it. IP: Logged |

I looked up the charts of allot of the winners of the world strongest man competition and powerlifters and i noticed almost all of them had either mars-saturn in hard aspect or mars-sun in hard aspect.I think mars-saturn makes for incredible strength, even more so than mars-pluto. Coupled with hard work that is. IP: Logged |

mars conjunct saturn in a natal chart often denotes a cruel person. Unless they have a good outlet for this energy- such as through sports- they can be very cruel, immoral and cause drama for no real reason.My SO and I have this conjunction in our synastry and we've been together for almost a decade and rarely fight. However we have a really weird relationship that limits our time together and we both like it that way. So I think depending on other factors it can be a good binding aspect between two people.

Natal mars-saturn contacts can make an invidual rather harsh.The girl I know who has this cannot stand weakness in others and is pretty ruthless towards people. She rarely shows any weakness herself either. She hasn`t had it easy in life but never complains so I think that`s why she cannot stand whiney or weak or too laid back people. IP: Logged |

In my experience this conjunction can make a person very weak actually. They build up their strength and self confidence by being harsh to others and kicking others while they are down. But if you stand up to them they shrink back down and look for another victim to give them their confidence. It probably depends on many factors in the chart. IP: Logged |

BumpittyYes, I think they say that it's violent because Pars is knee jerk quick reactions that has to flow through narrow point. When it is thwarted, it loses it's clear line and misfired, causing hovock. Anyone else like to elucidate ho their challenged Saturn and Mars is? Is it cruel?

I have Saturn,Mars,Spica,Pluto,Vertex and Jupiter all in a row. From 5th to 6th. From Libra to Scorpio.It's very Destructive. But I guess it's destructive for ME not for others. Due to excessive suppression of anger physical and mental health affected.

Natally it can make one very hard on themselves. There are perfectionist tendencies here and tension can cause physical stress ailments(at worse)You make a mistake, you throw away the whole sheet of paper. Or you become easily frustrated when results are slow to form. My sister has the opposition and it can be self-sabotaging. In that Mars starts off with enthusiasm. But Saturn brings everything "down to earth" and things get really demoralizing for Mars. In a relationship the Saturn person will be the one who is calm and even tempered. But the Mars person is likely to feel ill appreciated by Saturn or patronized. Anger usually lingers on here for a while as arguments carry on and gain steady momentum without a "climax" point or showdown. It could even start to be a modus operandi of the relationship and what these two people are used to and consider "normal". IP: Logged |

This. I have Saturn opposition Mars natally. If I feel that I am the aggressor in a relationship I retreat. Because it's not what I am ok to be. I've had this issue once (or as I recorded it), this person has their Sun in square to my Mars. PS. Maybe it also depends in which Zodiac signs these planets are? Could be a little bit different manifestation. IP: Logged |

"Destructive" over-characterizes these aspects between Mars and Saturn. They are stressful or challenging aspects.Specifically, Saturn is challenging the person's ego impulses to use more restraint and allow the maturity of healthy Saturn energies to help the person learn patience, persistence, and taking responsibility for their own actions. The underlying soul intention implied is constructive. How the person responds outwardly as a human being may not match the underlying need in soul development. ------------------ "Drift like a cloud and flow like water, seeing that all life is a magnificent illusion, a playing of energy, and there is absolutely nothing fundamentally to be afraid of." -- Alan Watts Soul Stars Astrology by The Declinations Guy Expert Rectification IP: Logged |

Destruction and jealousy are Pluto's field My aunt has this aspect (Mars square Saturn) and she is afraid of fights even if she hears someone shouting she gets scared. Till her 20s she would cry out of fear if someone shouted at her. In synastry I've been 3 times the Saturn (square the guy's Mars) even though we didn't have normal relationship (all were platonic) but Saturn blocked their sexual energy but especially with the one that I had Saturn opposite Moon at the same time I saw them as the most immature man, it was a turn off, I couldn't take him seriously. Saturn aspects are not "visible" since the beginning like Uranus and Neptune's good sides. IP: Logged |

In my experience, it is more restrictive than it is destructive. Like sometimes, I wanna do something, but end up not doing it because of a few imagined consequences.Also, fighting stresses me out (unless it's a friendly fight like sparring or something). Sometimes, I would say something out of anger and then feel bad later on because I was "too mean". My boyfriend always tells me to never apologize if I was right, but even then, it's hard not to. I have Mars in Libra opposite Saturn in Aries in a t-square with Neptune in Capricorn. IP: Logged |

I had a synastry with a guy who's Saturn conjunct my mars. It took me a moment to understand this except when I met a girl where my Saturn conjunct her mars. It's not disinterest. Think like mars is all energy shooting out at will, the Saturns person energy is just less. It causes frustration because mars wants to act, mars what we use to fight. Probably why you were so angry because it's like blocked energy. With the girl that I have my Saturn conjunct her mars, she is adorable to me. Just her output is less than mine but I understand her ego. These two can actually work well if mars has patience. Unfortunately , I have no patience and the attention span of a mouse. IP: Logged |

Yeah - they can be very afraid of their own anger. So it turns inwards and can become "self-destructive", i.e. lead to self-harm, depression, etc. On the other hand, if it's outwardly expressed, it can be pretty harsh. More often than not, they're just as harsh on themselves as they are on others. Saturn can lead to a "slow burn" kind of anger that can be quite brutal when unleashed. Which is hwy some of them are afraid of anger and choose to suppress it (Saturn). In a healthy expression, they could be able to sustain their energy to follow through on anything they take up. In synastry, it might be that one is "go go go" while the other is "no no no". Mars does not enjoy Saturn censorship and restraint, even if it comes from a good place. Both partners need to compromise a little because they each might feel exasperated with the other. Mars can be seen as the impulsive, reckless child who does not think his actions through. Saturn might seem like a stick-in-the-mud, always telling them what not to do.. IP: Logged |
