Mars Saturn Clarity
Art by Jaroslaw Jasnikowski, 1976
Every two years or so, Mars and Saturn bring their hot and heavy heads together, and the world groans and shifts. The last time this happened during March 2020, it set the stage for breakdown and the world followed suit. Most everything was shutdown and wildly shunted by a pandemonium that plunged us into uncertainty and chaos. The game was changed, irrevocably.
Today these much maligned malefics meet again, this time in the fresh air of Aquaria. Give yourself over to new possibilities. This time around Mars and Saturn are courting breakthrough instead of breakdown - though it may not feel discernably different at first. But it is discomfort that shifts hands and hearts through its necessary disruption to regular programming.
Saturn in Aquaria is restructuring the playing field and hauling it into the next age. His transits are renowned for their effective redistribution of labour, perspective and understanding. Saturn gets a bad rap because his dour take no excuses approach does not suffer post modern first world bleating. It isn't always everyone else's fault. Life on earth is not easy, growth takes commitment and work is required to progress beyond trying circumstances. All of this is married to our purpose and conjures our greatest powers.
Mars arrives to energise Saturn's constant tocking and activate necessary change. Our ardent warrior has his eye firmly focused on the future and will square the north node tomorrow. We are already on the bridge to the eclipses and the earliest strains of its cage rattling. Mars brings the fuel required to break free and beyond what keeps you tethered to the past and its worn out old ways.
Expect ruthless clarity to visit its significant magics on this day. How to move forward will rise from any rubble like a revelation, crystallising intuition and your good instinct for your own evolution. There may be some fire and brimstone but only those who refuse to budge will be punished by the revolution well underway.
Take care and keep those glittering eyes peeled, darklings. The future is winking at you through the fray.
