Mars-Saturn Conjunction 2012

Mars conjoins Saturn at 24 Libra on Aug. 15, 2012. The previous conjunction of these planets occurred July 31, 2012 at 0.49 Libra, and the next conjunction is Aug. 25, 2014 at 17.40 Scorpio.

A conjunction of the two traditional malefics is often interpreted as 'trying to drive a car with the brakes on'. Mars conjunct Saturn also indicates the ability to focus action constructively with discipline and restraint. Negatively, hard aspects between these planets suggest delays and frustration- blocked energy that can lead to anger boiling over.


The Aug. 15 Mars-0-Saturn rising @ London, UK, appears related to the highly focused energy and willpower of the athletes competing in the Olympic games.
