When Saturn transits to your natal Mars, you may experience heightened competitiveness and irritability as you become aware of your limitations and restrictions. However, these moments can also be highly productive, as they require you to exert a great effort and work hard to prove your worth and assert your individuality.
During this time, you may find yourself either victimized or provoking aggressive intentions from others. Threats or circumstances that feel threatening are likely to surround you, so it is important to conserve your energy and exercise patience and caution.
Your vital energy may be significantly weakened, which could impact your health. If you have a chronic illness, it might worsen or enter another critical phase. Engaging in healing therapies could help you overcome any physical conflicts.
Despite the challenges, you have the potential to achieve whatever you set your sights on, as these transits also test your strength and ability to perform. It is crucial to demonstrate your ability to overcome obstacles and difficulties, which will in turn establish your independence and individuality.
During this period, it is essential to approach things practically and efficiently, acting sensibly and realistically. The positive aspect of these transits is that they provide an opportunity for you to have more control over your life.

this is the third and last time Saturn will transit my Mars. energy low depression high. feeling old and lonely. well, I am old and I am alone. Friends after hard to find. Health issues blooming in a weed garden. I feel very negative and hate to be this way but I am very weary. after I ensure this I have transiting Pluto oppose my ascendent 3 times this year. hope I make it.
Steph
hey Leslie, remember that you are in charge. what is trying to express itself through your energy? this is a learning experience our souls need. I am having my Saturn return and transiting Saturn also is square my Sun, Mercury, and Ascendant and opposing my Mars. one of my feet has been broken for 9 months and still not healed; it has taught me to slow down. my chronic disease has flared up and I realize I need a shoulder to lean on. since I am so worried about losing control by depending on others I have only myself to be my own shoulder. so, I am increasing warmth and fluids while also slowing down and keeping frustrations to a minimum. I am telling myself that this will pass and laughing at funny memories. hang in there!

Oh dear. All the bless to you.

Hang in there, Leslie! Sometimes we have friends in this world we can’t see. :)

I’m going through the exact same things right now with Saturn opposing my natal Mars. I’m not doing well and everyone you described is exactly how I feel. it’s brutal.

Hi kd, I hope you’ve been doing okay. I am about to go through my Saturn Opp natal Mars transit in April 2025. I’d love to ask a few questions: How was your experience? Is there any advice you have, and what would you share to your younger self? Thank you and I’m sending you support always.

You will make it. Everything will be ok. When i felt like this during my saturn conjunct mars, i took lots of nice baths (with my portable dvd player & a good film or documentary) really took my time, i only had them in candle light because i was too frustrated for the big lights.lol painted my nails because it required focus.
Then i found a nice park (primrose hill, London) took a heap of princess Diana books and read them over the course of 18months (i never liked her much so i wanted to read about her to see why, took my frustration out on the pages & it feels good to fix yourself on something that cannot affect your personal life) there are enough people around in the park and occasionally someone would sit down for a chat. made 3 new friends that way. Also, i still go to that park when I’m having a really bad day and after an hr or so it completely lifts.
You’ve got this. You are going to be pleasantly surprised how refreshed you feel by doing things for you, Lesley. You will radiate love!!
Lisa
Hang in there, Leslie!!

Soon transiting Saturn moving into my 5th house and will trine my Mars in the 9th house. Wondering how that would play out because these houses aren’t of work or career houses🤔
Praga
Saturn opposite natal mars, absolutely spot on. I am really frustrated.
vlad
saturn opposite mars, mercury and sun kicked out of driving school, rejected from 2 schools, fired from 2 jobs, quit 1, i feel like shit lmao somebody save me from this never ending nightmare, as soon as this BS started my motto went “i’d much rather die than live another day like this” but hey, look at the positive: i got accepted into my dream school, not setting any xpectations cause the shit will retrograde in february might get kicked out lmaooooo w/ever atp the best thing happening 2me is sex and music bye (for the record i’m JK and also #VENTING at the same time, coping however i can, not kms cause i’m not a loser like that, i had it worse but also better, IK this phase will pass so just waiting atp)
Leslie
Why do you think you will get kicked out of school? Saturn is a time to be serious accept responsibility, sounds like you are into a hedonistic lifestyle. Saturn helps you too mature, grow up and change things that don’t work towards that maturation you do not seem to possess. Good luck
vlad
i don’t think, I DID!!!! LMAOOOO
i’m not serious and yes you’re right: i’m only here for the food, art and sex, the saturn transit didn’t help me learn shit, it’s waning right now and the conclusion is it was just a little tug from god or whoever else i dealt with it perfectly fine i’m just dramatic love&kisses 2u Leslie <3
Leslie O
Saturn will move forward and by the end of this year is you have fenced you will pay the Fiddler. Life is give and take Them is always something sacrificed is you wish to get something else. you are missing the opportunity of learning for shallow things. you seem immature. what until you grow up more and feel the burden of responsibility it will help you. find perspective on what is truly important. watch your knees, teeth skin and blood. good luck your going to need it
vlad
whatever tf that means, look, if you can’t give me any valuable advice, just shut up!!! it’s fine if you don’t know what you’re talking about, just don’t try to make me feel bad for living the life i wanna live. i WILL live the most fulfilling life i could ever imagine.. and i WILL get it at ANY cost.. people go thru ups and downs, it’s normal. deal with it. it gets better.
thanks darling <3..

With this current Saturn retrograde I’m about to reenter what I went through last winter. Saturn squaring my sun and ascendant while opposing my natal mars. Right when I thought I was all clear!! I’m hoping I can bare it better this time having gone through it before. It’s hard having strong Saturn transits but it does usually lead to stronger foundations and maturity in my experience.
Eloise
wonderful piece and very insightful, also totally accurate!
Thanks for this site.Eloise

I have saturn about to square my mars and I am terrified bc last time Saturn squared my mars my mom died 😩 but it was in my 5th house so maybe this square won’t be as brutal it’s transiting my 11th house. Although the love of my life died when saturn entered pisces right in my 11th. I’m just gonna breathe and woo sah through this one

saturn transiting in opposition to my mars, which rules my moon in aries in the 12.house. old traumata from my childhood coming up and I feel I can’t make it. friends and everyone left, there’s no help from outside, which I need for solving my affairs. rejection coming from everywhere. I feel weak, undergoing an operation. there’s no door, showing any future and possibility.
tl
second saturn return which just so happens to oppose natal mars also. feeling cut off from others, and remote but it definitely feels like something of the oldmis passing away and something new being born.
Jb
Hi tl, I’m about to have mine in April 2025. I personally am scared about my transit Saturn Opp natal Mars transit, but I hope you’re doing better and just know that your story will be an inspiration to others like me. I have a few questions: How was your experience? Is there any advice you have, and what would you share to your younger self? Thank you and I’m sending you support always.

Saturn about to conjunct my mars oppose Jupiter 3rd to 9th
Natal Saturn in the twelfth
Health issues?
Nicky
My Mars is at 29 Pisces. I’ve just had Neptune obliterating my energy in such a big way that I have been booked off work with chronic fatigue for the past 9 months. My natal Mars is highly dignified and in a trine with my exalted Jupiter. I was hoping Saturn coming to conjunct my Mars would rebuild routine and structure with energy,motivation, and drive where Neptune washed everything away previously. Saturn is now 2 degrees applying to my natal Mars and Neptune is 2 degrees away, separating. This Neptune conjunct my natal Mars has been the hardest transit of my life and it’s been going on for so long that I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be a healthy and active human being with a social life.
I cannot fathom how Saturn would destroy my energy, motivation, and drive more than Neptune has over the past 9 months while Mars has also been retrograde and in fall in cancer. If 0 was dead and 10 was action hero, I was at 0,5 for months.
Can someone please give me some good news here? This is not quality of living I’m doing here and I am beyond frustrated.
