Mars square Saturn


Thank the astrological heavens that the current Mars square Saturn aspect is past its peak and gradually fading. A square or 90 degree angle between any planets symbolises a challenging interplay because they are in incompatible signs to begin with. And in this particular situation we are talking about the two planets both known as "malefics", as in malevolent (not to be confused with "Malefecent" the movie where the jolly horned villainess actually turns out to have a good side). It suggests a rather frustrating time, with blocked ambitions, libido or ego expression. This in turn leads to negative feelings internally, which then flows into our relationships. Also it's a time when we can be a bit hard on ourselves too.
Of course there is a positive way to channel this influence too. For example this would be the ideal time to go on a fast, practice some self-discipline in the area of our life that may need it, or just embrace the austerity measures imposed on us, knowing that it is just a phase. Also the potential callousness that may manifest can instead be utilised where being thick-skinned is required, especially if we have been over-sensitive or too weak-egoed for our own good. After all what is a callous other than a chunk of thick skin, put there to toughen one's resistance to some external pressure.
So in this way the potential malefic villain can actually be an Angelina in disguise and end up helping us to strengthen our weak points, toughen up our resolve with the ability to soldier resiliently on. Despite the physical aches and pains, or feelings of weakness that we may feel in our limbs for a time.
