Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole astrology thing, and let me tell you, it’s a rabbit hole. Today’s adventure? Saturn opposite Mars in synastry. Buckle up, because this one’s a bumpy ride.
First, I pulled up the charts of me and, well, let’s call him “Mr. Intense.” I used this free online tool – nothing fancy, just something that would spit out the aspects.
The Discovery
Boom! There it was. Saturn opposite Mars. My jaw kind of dropped. I’d heard whispers about this aspect, mostly that it was…challenging.
So, I started digging. I read through a bunch of different websites and forum posts. Everyone seemed to agree on a few key things:
- Frustration: Like, a constant feeling of one person (Mars) pushing forward, and the other (Saturn) holding back.
- Control issues: Saturn can feel like a wet blanket, trying to control or restrict Mars’ energy.
- Timing problems: It’s like you’re never quite in sync. One’s ready to go, the other’s dragging their feet.
Making it Personal
I started thinking about my own experiences with Mr. Intense. And yeah, a lot of it resonated. For example, I’d be all fired up about a new project (Mars!), and he’d immediately start poking holes in it, pointing out all the potential problems (Saturn!).
Or, I’d want to be spontaneous and go out, and he’d be all about sticking to the plan, staying in, being “responsible” (again, Saturn!). It felt like a constant tug-of-war.
It wasn’t all bad, though. I also noticed that his Saturn-ness sometimes helped me ground my sometimes-crazy Mars energy. He’d encourage me to think things through, to be more disciplined. Which, honestly, I needed.
What I’m Doing About It
Okay, so knowing about the aspect is one thing. Doing something about it is another.
I am working to be more aware to improve this aspect and to make it work,I decided to:
- Communicate: Openly talk about the issues with * and be honest.
- Compromise: try to balance my impluses and *’s cautious nature.
- Be patient: Try to accept that this is a long-term challenge, not a quick fix.
It’s still a work in progress, obviously. But I’m feeling a little more hopeful, just by understanding the dynamic. It’s like, “Oh, that’s why we keep doing this dance!” It’s not perfect, but it’s something.
