Mars conjunct Saturn in the natal chart gives a strong determination and sustained effort in the pursuit of goals. The Mars desires, sexuality and creativity are positively influenced by Saturn’s discipline and strong work ethic. The darker side of Saturn can also influence the desires but this by no means translates to negative qualities. Sexually, this can mean tremendous stamina and remaining sexually attractive and active later in life. It also allows for a sensible exploration and expression of the taboo sides of sexuality involving pleasure and pain, domination and submission. Traditionally this aspect is said to cause frustration and difficulty in expressing anger, and even nastiness. However looking at the charts of people with this aspect there overwhelming theme is that of healthy expression of the darker desires and sustained effort leading to prolific work in the career.
If Mars conjunct Saturn in the chart were harshly aspected or on a troublesome fixed star then we might expect the more heartless and malicious nature of this aspect to be displayed. In this case, the key would be to find a positive outlet for the energy through some creative endeavour. Mars does represent goal-directed energy. Once a real passion in life is found, even if a bit dark, then self-disciple and determination should ensure that the manifestation is not destructive to the self or others.

Mars Conjunct Saturn August 2012
On Wednesday 15 August 2012, Mars conjunct Saturn is exact at 24°49′ Libra on the very fortunate star Arcturus, ( 24°24′ Libra) which itself in known for giving determination and ability to lead the way. This should be a time for concentrated effort and making concrete gains, materializing some goal we have been striving for recently. Sun sextile Mars Saturn is a good omen for success in achieving long term goals, and being able to fully express, in a safe way, our strong desires. We should feel the effects of this conjunction building for at least a week leading up to the 15th.
There is a danger however that we may get carried away with driven nature of this aspect and fixed star, not considering the feeling and needs of our loved ones. Arcturus can cause pig-headedness and disregard for the consequences of achieving success at any price. Moon square Mars and Saturn reinforces this danger of causing emotional hurt to others if we keep a blinkered focus on our goals. Venus opposite Pluto and square Uranus also highlights the need to consider the feelings of our loved ones in pursuing our desires.

I have transiting Mars conjunct Natal Ascendant (in Libra), transiting Saturn conjunct Natal Ascendant (in Libra) and transiting Mars conjunct transiting Saturn. 3 transits going on right now … but I feel great. I don’t know why there is so much doom and gloom associated with these transits.
…. forgot to mention that the transits are all conjunct my Natal Pluto in 12th house Libra.
Effect of conjunction of Saturn and Mars on various signs/Rashi’s , see following link below.

I just cleaned an oven rack with steel wool during Mars conjunct Saturn, kept me out of trouble.
You are such a Virgo!!! Clearly you can take the heat and stay in the kitchen!!
I’m just so glad this transit is nearly over, only have Mars on my Mercury tonight then Saturn on my Mercury Saturday night. Lots of anger, frustration and arguments between all of us, the kids and with Marina. I know it’s this transit which is affecting not only me but the people around me. Bring on the new moon!
By the way, can you add the link to your crop circle websites, couldn’t find them on Google.
They’re not up yet! I’ll link as soon as they’re up.
This conjunction is on my natal Neptune where Arcuturus is… today I am lying around like a filleted mermaid. I cannot concentrate on anything and am just going to have a long sleep and see what I dream! Nothing seems real today…
I posted this again on our fb page not long ago and so many people are saying they had strange dreams last night.
This picture could have a Mars Saturn theme too, taken yesterday:
like!
My case. Strange dream yesterday night: the apt. was freezing cold, though we were protected (I´m rigid but I protect). The Things in the room, like in the fifties (and I feel “avantgarde!… mh!). My daughter´s boss dressed like a gangster with ice hands shaking from and elegant car. My youngest brother telling a little girl that parents keep pistols & weapons due to security reasons. A butterfly comes flying like those flying fishes in the sea, that are quite venomus. I tried to tell my brother that a Butterfly is always a good otmen. And the butterfly turns in to a big bird (like the one in the Olympics, a Phoenix bird), saying: “now, revolution of clerges and church is to begin!.
I wake up!
Maybe Mars with Saturn is good for dream recall?
The only thing I can think of which would relate to dreams from this conjunction is that it is on the fixed star Arcturus, which Edgar Cayce said was “that center from which there may be the entrance into other realms of consciousness” Cayce on Arcturus.
This makes total sense! This conjunction takes place on my 12th house cusp sextile my midheavan. Decided to see either a therapist or a psychic. Unfortunately my insurance won’t cover a psychic. ;-P In either case, I’m going in.
Glad you found it useful, I love his writings on astrology. Must do a post on Arcturus some time too.
that is incredible. i had one of the strangest and more macabre dream i could ever had in long time. and surprisngly, or surprisingly not, i dreamt of the hair of my dead father. i took that hair and bring it home, where bekause of the bad small had to stook in the hole of the shower. maybe to hide it kause the smell started to horrid. this is just one part of the dream, so you can have an idea. but afterall it all made so mux sense, was a very simbolik dream for me. i still havent rekovered from the dead of my father, whix belive it or not was more than 10 years ago.
. soething is going on insde me, and i am so happy all this transits are helping me to bring it out.
another part of the dream i also was with an exboyfriend, who i felt present but emotionally to away from me, and at the end was my mother telling me to get ride of those hairs. you could figure out the solitude that surrounded me in that dream. just trying to stik to a bunch of hairs from a cadaver. the only i had left from him was those hairs. or so that dream telled me. scary. i am writting so mux about it, work in in on it. thank you
Thanx for sharing this Aurua. Mars Saturn together would represent dad and karma, even hair is ruled by Saturn! Your word “macabre” is also very fitting, just what the London Dungeon was like for us yesterday in that pic above.
Hi Jamie,
Thanks for posting my blog link, I will post your link on my blog.
Thanks & Regards
Somesh
well, I sure am glad today is over!!
Went to the doctor, and before I could say (about inflammation, funnily enough!!!) blood tests, manganese, magnesium, essential fatty acids, I was unceremoniously shut up and forced to go through a stupid, irrelevant rigmarole that tells nobody anything about anything. This idiot sat there with a conceited, self-satisfied look on his face during the process.
I didn’t quite slam the door as I left, but I certainly made my feelings felt. Very quietly. He blenched and I thought he was going to throw up with shock.
I have spent half the day composing my letter of complaint to the Practice Manager, cc the PCT.
Didn’t mention Mars/Saturn
in the letter.
Unfortunately doctors don’t study astrology these days, they always used to though.
True, Jamie.
They don’t study nutrition, either (sadly), unless they go on into Integrated Medicine.
Both are major omissions in the curriculum! – Maybe I should send them a copy of Gauquelin with the letter
Today’s conjunction fell into my 10th, so I expected fireworks at work, but all that happened there was that I was privy to gossip about two separate sets of professional animosity between colleagues. As befits Libra hosting this conjunction, I thought it best that I took no sides.
Now, after the day’s clashes, for some peaceful meditation time……
What do you think about Mars conjunct Uranus and Saturn at 0 degrees Capricorn on the 9th house cusp? They are opposite Chiron in the 3rd but trine Jupiter in the 12th in Aries. Interesting, no?
I have Mars, Saturn, Moon, Uranus all in conjunction
how do you interpret that combination?
