Mars Conjunct Saturn
© 2004 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Mars conjunct your natal Saturn. This is frequently a time of frustrations. You may find that you are constantly putting out little fires. Murphy's law rings very true for you now. Frequently you are in a situation where you are angry, but have to suppress your anger because it would not be professional to show it. Suffering in silence is one of the key phrases for this combination.
This transit favors dealing with intricate or delicate work and attention to detail. Traditionally it is good for stone cutting and working with iron or steel. The nature of the work is that it progresses slowly and painstakingly. Do not try to rush through jobs at this time or it is likely that you will have to do it over. Use traditional ways of doing things as new ways will not meet with much success.
