Mars Opposition Saturn

The opposition of Mars: Having overcome an external enemy, watch how it becomes internal; having mastered the internal one, observe how it exteriorizes. The principle of the planet in opposition to Mars will constantly be subjected to forceful influence, and it will be quite difficult for a person to establish interaction with this force. If the main emphasis is on the planet, and the person to some extent identifies with its principle, the external environment quickly becomes aggressive and begins to strongly interfere with him. If he starts actively fighting it, he quickly gets used to the struggle and, forgetting his original plans, reaccentuates the opposition, as a result of which Mars becomes internally accented, and the planet’s principle loses its significance for the person, transferring into the external world and acquiring the role of an enemy, which is described by the well-known aphorism, "What you fought for, you got." For example, in the opposition of Mars to Saturn, one cannot fight for discipline—one can only honestly try to be disciplined to the best of one’s ability; otherwise, such a struggle ends in major troubles, external restrictions (the lower octave of Saturn), and the triumph of internal chaos. Here, the problem often manifests in the fact that a person feels strength only in external manifestations of the planet’s principle but tends to fight them, and having defeated and interiorized the planet, he completely loses his own strength. The most painful and incomprehensible moments are precisely the subtle transitions of the opposition, i.e., the reaccentuation of Mars and the planet. Working through this aspect provides stable strength to the manifestations of the planet, in exactly the amount and on the vibrations it needs, which gives the person greater self-confidence and the ability to balance the most acute and tense situations (related to the principle of the planet and the houses where it and Mars are located, as well as the aspects of these planets). At a low level, and especially when Mars is afflicted, its opposition can produce destructive aggression in both the person and the external environment. In this case, one should bear in mind that the instability of the opposition, i.e., the frequent uncontrolled shift of accents between the planets, indicates its poor working out, and, conversely, systematic work on tracking and consciously managing it is the most effective means of achieving stability and harmony with oneself and the external world. The opposition of Saturn: A person clearly hears the voice of reason, but it is repugnant to him. The opposition of a planet to Saturn actualizes the problem of inner discipline and external restrictions in the areas related to it. In general, a major aspect of a planet to Saturn creates a deep desire to thoroughly understand its principle, which is initially presented to the person in a highly frozen and unworked form. For an opposition, resistance to working out and deep study of the planet’s principle is characteristic, expressed in the fact that as soon as a person gathers internally, focuses, and begins to carefully examine the issue, it immediately becomes drained, flattened, and completely uninteresting. Unworked Saturn kills all life in any matter it touches, and in this case, that life goes outward, i.e., the planet’s principle suddenly manifests in the external world and seems completely unattainable. As a result, a person gets the false impression that the planet’s principle is completely inaccessible to him, which in the case of Pluto can be endured, but with Venus or the Moon it is much more difficult, and frustrations, neuroses, and complete emotional rigidity are possible. On the other hand, attempts to accentuate the planet’s principle and identify with it are often accompanied by complete disregard for the Saturnian principle, i.e., depth and careful working out in inner life, while simultaneously leading to an increase in rigid Saturnian restrictions in the areas governed by the planet. Here, karma demands that the person establish very clear interaction between the principles of the planet and those of Saturn, i.e., necessary self-restraint and precision in the chosen direction. With poor working out and especially careless use of force—something Saturn cannot tolerate—the planet can literally get stuck at a dead point (i.e., its principle becomes completely frozen in the lower octave of Saturn), and it will be very difficult to extricate it; working out Neptune and Pluto and the harmonious influence of Jupiter or Chiron help. At a high level, this opposition gives extraordinary precision, depth, and effectiveness to the manifestations of the planet and greater stability in the areas it governs, thanks to wisdom and foresight.
