Hello Mars and Good Evening Sir Saturn
Without much knowledge of stars and constellations, when looking at the night sky to see these two stars, relatively of the same size, could we see the difference?
As star-addicts or interested astrologers, we can and most importantly we can see the variance in their meanings and relevance to us on a more personal level. Once we come to terms with the outside world being a mirror of the concepts and feeling within ourselves, we can entertain the possibility that both Mars and Saturn are simply two different, yet fundamental parts of ourselves that hold equal value. With no help of a telescope, their size in relation to us is similar, just as they occupy equal space in our experience of life, whether we are aware of their functions or not just yet.
That bright 'red' star AKA Mars = the mechanisms controlling our hormones and impulses, our personal compilation of desires and needs. What we would fight and perhaps even die for, how we deliver and act when we are fuelled with ambition and want to accomplish something perhaps now but especially in the heat of the moment when tension takes over. Where we unleash and release to feel settled and at-ease once again. Most of us know this part of ourselves well, especially if we have a very 'yang' oriented personality or a personality that requires outside interaction to feel alive and freely functional. We've had to find and identify outlets for ourselves, for survival reasons of course.
The ringed planet that just looks like another star aka Saturn = our internal infrastructure. Where we give ourselves guidelines, where we draw rules and set specific goals over time. What we limit within our lives reflecting (vice versa) upon how we judge and become critical of other's characteristics and processes. He is the mix of powdered concrete, water and lined-wood for our plans to begin. Our base materials that prepare us to build in ways that are going to suit us best and provide for us in the best possible ways. What creates the weight we create and we notice over time. Ironically the large, ringed planet that is so light it can float on water. This is where our irony of having structures lie. In itself, it isn't real, however utilising it's function makes something as real as anything.
If we're running into the poles of the scaffolding, or being electrocuted by our self-installed electric fences, or kicking our toes on the low brick-walls that we've slowly been building over time , its time to re-focus. How can we focus when we have needs and wants for our wellbeing verse having needs to accomplish keeping in check with what keeps us grounded?
Mars-Saturn can be used in so many ways, it requires some imagination and a momentary detachment from detail from time to time to see. A little dose of Jupiter can come in handy for this. Knowing our own drives and having healthy outlets in addition to what we really need to build and create in our lives can go hand in hand. These seemingly two separate influences can work together simultaneously or in alternating periods to be used extremely effectively and constructively.
If Mars and Saturn are seemingly already working together (in sextile or trine) becoming aware of how this process is helping you daily can be a worthy exercise. Knowing how much better off you are for having endurance mixing with impulse in a positive blend. Things are always fair. Self-induced blessings are really the by-product of having 'harsh' or 'difficult' aspects. Conjunctions, squares and oppositions pull our focus on these areas making our awareness much more pronounced than if we lacked the drive to see this process. The effort and energy spent to find efficient or productive outlets to balance feelings of conflict or blockage yield equally rewarding results. So goes the gift of Saturn J
Surely whoever called Mars 'evil' or Saturn 'the devil' didn't want to spend time getting to know them in first place... They're our most efficient personal helpers after all!
