Mars will conjunct Saturn in Capricorn at the end of March into the first week of April in 2018. The date of the exact conjunction is April 2nd. But this is important enough to consider in a broader sense.
I say this because Mars is exalted in Capricorn and Saturn is in it’s home sign. This is a great time to commit your effort to some kind of goal. You may want to place a boundary or need to fight to keep one in place. You may also fight to maintain your integrity in some way.
Any project of this type should go well. You’ll only see problem if you push to control others.
Someone is pushing me at this time (in my real life). The person is used to getting their way. I don’t think that will be the case, this time!
If you have planets around 7 – 10 degrees Cardinal, you’re bound to be tested. It’ll be a stress test so I am advising you now, to shore yourself up.
The picture says it all. Plan to prevail.
Thanks Elsa. Lots going on at work this will affect 6th house. I always like Mars Capricorn energy. probably more layoffs at work when it hits Saturn. One of our leads is leaving.
Thank you Elsa. Last night a friend called me saying his partner had kicked them out again and was having them sleep in their partners car. This relationship has stripped my friend of everything. The ex partner has cheated on him and kicked him out like this several times. It’s an abusive situation that is not healthy and I think and hope last night was my friends final straw and wake up call. So I told him to leave the keys in the car, forget about his things he had in the apartment because they can be replaced and to text the partner the keys were in the car, block him on his phone and social media and to then come over here. I’m hoping to not come off as controlling towards my friend or to run his life. I want to help him get back on his feet, but am hoping that drilling in to him that keeping this person blocked and out of his life is what is best to start that process moving forward. Hopefully what I am learning right now is how to be helpful in a way where I don’t come of as controlling, but efficient for everyones benefit.
Or someone with wisdom seeing what is happening and knowing a way out for this person. Sad but true unless your friend is willing to let go and shift out of this bleeding situation it will never change given the bad habit karma in motion. Abruptly leaving will interrupt this karma.
“Someone is pushing me at this time.The person is used to getting their way”. ((( Elsa ))) I find myself in a similar situation. It’s horrible.
Mars is in Capricorn in my natal chart. And I am gratefull for that.
Jayne! Thank you so much for your comfort words! I will keep them in mind. This helps. 🙂 (( ))
But I think there is some more to come when Mars is conjunct Saturnus and after that Pluto. And the time Mars is between these planets! I am not really scared but very alert! And as Elsa said: take time to be quiet and silence where possible: some real time for myself. 🙂
Cancer sunVirgo moon. Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been feeling it building. Mars 7 degrees & Uranus 10 degrees, both in Cancer in 10th house. A sitch at work with passive aggressive, lying, manipulative coworkers who have everyone in fear of them. Except the bosses who they suck up to like nobody’s business. These women are def used to getting their own way. I don’t pay homage to them which doesn’t sit well with them. I’ve been trying to keep a lid on it all month & yet I’ve known it isn’t working! I’ve got a slow fuse, but when you’ve pushed & pushed..oh well you deserve it Let the fur fly!
Yes, that’s my situation too. Good to know though. Preparation is everything! As a Cappy, I am the one who initiated the showdown, now just waiting to see who shows up, ready to deal with it as it happens.
So I’ve been tracking Mars, uncomfortably, not something I want to see but something is there, every time I get a perceived attack from someone there Mars is.
7th house and over Saturn in the 8th house these manifestations were just perfect.
But surely with the Mars I must be attacking this person also? Or calling out their attack with is a kind of Mars thing?
Saturn has moved into my tenth house and I am having to more seriously look for a job. Not just casually applying for anything as previous habits. Employers won’t take it they know if I do or do not want the job the second I walk in the door, and just tell me I don’t want it sometimes.
I have no idea how these two will combine.
This is all happening in my 8th House, which is packed including Mars, which should IMO create energy…Help me out here, Elsa, why am I going to be cockblocked?!
Mars and Saturn conjunct on top of my natal Capricorn Moon: set a limit on trespassing my emotional boundaries (from others as well as my own self-sabotaging).
(( Moki ))
Day after Easter. This will be a great day to start a diet and that’s my plan. Actually, I think I’ll probably try to start on March 28th when Jupiter reenters my 6th house, but I’m sure I’ll have to take a break on Easter.
Going through my saturn return exact today. Neptune at 10 Cap. I’ve been into high intensity interval training and fitness lately. Definitely eases the terror. Of lack of control.
Same here. Someone is pushing my buttons at work. Then again I have Mars/Saturn in my natal chart and transits like these don’t affect me at all.
Don’t confuse me being nice and polite with taking your BS.
Yes, especially when you want to unload on me a dump truck full of BS!
great squaring my Aries moon :/
Hehe this transit is happening on my natal Mars also. Double whammy I hear ya! ?
Well, I must say I have had some practical lessons in scattering my energy around. So I am working in a narrower frame and then instead doing my best in going small but deep. Really go through and take a strategic view on things have worked wonders.
The thing though… It can also mean rejection. Sexual rejection and staying on a narrow path, abstinense etc. That’s what I’ve experienced a LOT of the past months since Saturn entered Cap and my Mars at 8 degree was being crammed in…. ?
Aka Tinder luck is not feeling too lucky at the moment! ?
Smack on the cusp of my 12H and squaring my core stellium in Libra in 8H.
I’m not worried. I got myself aligned with Elsa’s workshop re: Saturn in Cap and navigated my 2nd Saturn Return smack on the cusp of Cap in my 11H.
I have been mountaingoating it crag by crag ever since. Tackling a couple of tasks with determination and discipline, One Day At a Time (ODAT). Making steady progress.
I’m expecting a shift with this current alignment up in the skies. Whatever it brings, I will continue mountaingoating it crag by crag, ODAT.
I love this energy! ? I’m already feeling very ambitious and focused.
My Neptune is in 7 degrees of Carpicorn. I’ll try prepare.:)
Solar return time. Wheeee!
Solar Return Saturn square natal Sun in Aries. Mars just 2 degrees off the conjunction with Saturn. Natal Mars also in Capricorn (19 deg.) in 6th house. Mars not only the ruler of Sun but also Merkurius and MC (and the Moon in Scorpio). – The company I work for was sold recently. A very stressful situation. I will see the next hand (contract) and decide then. Just want some peace and quiet.
Happening on my natal sun in the 7th. The situation: a guy I’ve been friends with for years is courting me, he’s an great catch super nice guy but I do’t feel ‘that thing’, #2 I went to high school with, didn’t see for years, turns up on the radar, also an excellent catch and so’s the chemistry. I feel the challenge will be polishing my image, preserving my integrity hoping my reputation precedes me and perhaps thinking quick on my feet. Another point to consider, I’ve natal Pisces moon in the 10th. There could be all sorts of projections ’round here.
I’m also looking for a new job in service. Putting out tons of resumees over the next few weeks. My fine dining restaurant closed in Jan. and the jobs I found after aren’t cutting it. Again, presentation, reputation, references.
My natal mars/saturn opposition is loosely trining the conjunction too. With a 12th house Saturn I’m hoping for behind the scenes support or divine intervention.
Its not aspecting any planets, but its falling in my first house. I dont know….
Good Lord, I read what I posted yesterday and realized I do need need to shore myself up! You can pay a high price for avoidance. And to heck with that. Saturn in Virgo in the 12th house.
sk8samuri: what a nice little dilemna to have with those two guys. Which is easy for me to say!
It looks great on paper but that Saturn signature and a Cap sun promote a healthy fear of failure. At the end of the day it’s still only me & my baby pitbull doggie. He’s my sweetheart.
Oh the joy of it squaring my chart ruler, Uranus at 8* Libra. I already feel like my skeleton is falling apart thanks to Saturn. 🙁
Smack dab on my Ascendant. Two weeks…
heck. Don’t think this will affect me directly. But…Pluto is exact on my 20 degree MC and that is challenging enough. I am looking for a new job in a different state. Complicated by the fact that Pluto is also square Pluto. Talk about mid life crisis to the max. I just don’t want to do anything career wise, but I have to…soon.
Oh this is indeed a test!
I have natal Venus in Cancer @ 7 degree (8th house) This conjunct is getting on my nerves. I have my bonus and increment due this week and I m freaking out.
Good luck! But prepare yourself for a negative response- Have a plan.
Right on my Chiron in Capricorn…ouch! But the crack is where the light gets in. And Saturn squares my natal Saturn at the same time. All this letter 10 energy adding up to Time, Time, Time! I’m freaking out a bit, thinking, “Is my time up”?
So I can blame it on the stars? Haha! I have someone in my professional life and personal like trying to get away with being “shitty” I’m standing in my integrity saying, “this is not ok”
Oh this is too great! I am very pregnant and am due on April 2, and the sun conjuncts my natal Ceres (mothering asteroid) on March 30. So I’m guessing this is baby coming, since Mars and Saturn’s meetup is going down in my fifth house. Talk about the best cock-block ever!
I am writing a book and I also write articles for two different websites. I felt totally unmotivated this month and languished in my 12 house. Now I am feeling the Mars stellium as it enters my Capricorn 12th house and heads toward my Sun and Ascendant. YAY—entropy is shifting!
