Mars Sextile Saturn

Mars represents your energy, your desire and the courage to act; Saturn, your responsible side, your limits and what you build through effort.

The two malefics in an understanding that asks some work: not blazing energy, but sustained effort. Saturn lends Mars method, prudence, and patience; Mars gives Saturn the impulse to execute. It inclines one to plan with care and to persevere in minute and exacting tasks — work with hard materials, projects of long breath whose fruits come later. There is a natural disposition to self-discipline and to contenting oneself with modest results in the present, in the name of what is built for the future. The strength, here, is cold and steady: it yields more through constancy than through the start.
