MARS, SATURN AND THE LAW OF BALANCE

You’re up you’re down. You think you can tackle anything. Then, thwommmppp! You feel as if a three hundred pound refrigerator-type football player has just slammed into you.
That’s the effect when Mars in a weak position moves from a Jupiter to an extremely strong Saturn. Thwommmppp! Is right.
It can really nail you bad if you have been overconfident and zooming over the speed limit. You can steal candy from a baby and swallow it even before the baby starts crying, but here’s the deal.
Don’t think you can squeak by and get away with murder.
Nobody does.
In the short term, maybe. In the long run, nobody does.
Right now you could get pretty discouraged if you don’t understand the law of balance.
The law of balance is ruled by Saturn and this week Saturn is strong, especially the second half of the week.
This is where the Law of Balance fits in.
Justice is always done.
Of course who the hell believes THAT when they are feeling particularly shitty and going through whatever they are going through?
That of course IS the moment to remember it.
When Mars squares Saturn and is touched by the Moon,
don’t push it. Slow down. Apply reason to your actions, especially when you are frustrated or pissed off, which you probably will be during this aspect and the law of Balance is operating. Youre needy, animal, infantile Self is forced to constrain to current situations that are limiting and confining. People seem to be sucking the life out of you, while they believe you are sucking the life out of them.
There’s a cop for every speeder on the road and a witness for every cop’s misconduct. If you’re married, you feel the family scene is too narrow. If you’re single, you see your own solitary little life as narrow.
This Mars Saturn square is the experience of having to adjust to uncomfortable circumstances and restore balance to a way of life that is at the moment Unbalanced.
So annoying, aren’t I?
In unevolved types (most of the human race) the animal instinct rebels against the rational, socialized approach to living, and military actions build up. The war that is raging inside people is projected outward toward a demonized foe. That’s why soldiers cross borders and boundaries they should not be crossing.
For most of us, however, it’s just a little bruise, cut, scratch or scrape across our personal blackboard. If you were born with the square of Mars Saturn, or have had it happen by progression during your life, it will probably give you a bigger headache.
This is the opportunity to watch the Law of balance with Saturn’s transit in Libra in action.
It’s the perfect time to reread your SATURN IN LIBRA message.
