MARS SQUARES SATURN:
On Sunday October 27th at 10:30 A.M. EDT this difficult and restrictive aspect completes right on the Dark of the Moon and it will represent the end of a cycle. Mars rules the ego, our basic energy level and the muscles in the body. Saturn, as you know, tends to restrict whatever it comes in contact with. As such we can expect this to be a few days when it’s difficult to express our egos and many will find it repressive and frustrating. There is a need to push the energy of Mars out of the body or it can backup and result in physical or psychological problems. When that energy is repressed, either in the natal chart or by transit or progression it’s like an infection that festers. Those who have this hard aspect in their natal charts often will experience a health issue involving the part of the body that correlates to the house that Mars rules. Now as we deal with this in transit it’s important to move your chi. Exercise, but do so carefully. If you overdo it under Saturn’s influence you could easily damage a muscle, joint or bone. This is not a good day for confrontations of any sort. You may not be feeling as secure and could find it difficult to express your true feelings. Sometimes people will overreact to this type of aspect and then the waters could get murky. Because this is the Dark of the Moon it represents the end of things. If you try to deal with something personal or important now you may wind up ending a situation or relationship that didn’t have to end. But the end of the lunar cycle will often be the end of the matter. So if something truly does need to be finished it will end now. Just remember that every ending is a new beginning.
