Mars opposite Saturn
Neither Mars nor Saturn is operating from a position of strength in today’s opposition. Mars is in Libra (sign of its detriment) and Saturn (sign of its fall), so there’s bound to be a lot of avoidance going on because they don’t want the other to discover how vulnerable they feel. It’s like when a boss at work resents needing an employee as much as they do and the employee resents the boss for not recognizing all the good that they do. It becomes a vicious circle as fear of abandonment and fear of rejection force both sides to keep their distance. Yet the distance can be shortened if you find a way to break the ice. If you’re the Mars in Libra in the equation then it’s incumbent upon you to show respect while subtly taking over the reins. And if you’re the Saturn in Aries person in this scenario? Then it’s a good idea to follow the Mars in Libra’s lead and then thank them afterwards because that show of gratitude was all that they were looking for in the first place. Signs most affected: Aries, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Aquarius
