Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, and I stumbled upon this thing called “Mars square Saturn synastry.” It sounded intense, so I figured, why not check it out in my own relationships? You know, for science… and maybe a little bit of drama.
My Experiment Begins
First, I grabbed the birth charts of a few close friends and my partner. I’m not gonna lie, finding everyone’s birth time was a bit of a mission. Some people are super organized with that stuff, others, not so much. I kinda felt like a detective for a bit there.
Once I had all the birth info, I plugged it into one of those free online synastry chart calculators. I’m no astrology expert, so I definitely needed some help interpreting all the lines and symbols.

Spotting the Square
I specifically looked for that Mars-Saturn square. Basically, you’re looking for a red line (that means tension!) connecting the Mars symbol (looks like a little circle with an arrow) and the Saturn symbol (kinda like a lowercase ‘h’ with a cross on top).
And guess what? I found it! In my synastry chart with one of my friends, boom – Mars square Saturn. It was staring right at me.
Digging Deeper
Then I started reading up on what this aspect actually means. I mean, the red line looked ominous, but I needed the details. Turns out, it’s supposed to represent some challenges. I saw all those keywords,blockages, frustration, and a lot of those kind of words.
- Frustration: Like, one person (the Mars person) is all about action and going for it, while the other (the Saturn person) is more cautious and wants to slow things down.
- Control Issues: Saturn can be a bit of a control freak, trying to restrict Mars’ energy. And Mars? Not a fan of being controlled.
- Working Through It: But it’s not all doom and gloom. Apparently, this aspect can also lead to some serious growth if you’re willing to work through the challenges.
Real-Life Reflection
Honestly, after reading about it, I could totally see some of those dynamics in my friendship. We definitely have moments where I’m pushing to do something, and she’s the voice of reason, pumping the brakes. Sometimes it’s annoying, other times I’m grateful for her perspective.
It’s not always easy, and we’ve had our share of disagreements, but I think we also help each other grow. I push her out of her comfort zone, and she keeps me from making totally impulsive decisions.
The Takeaway (So Far)
This whole Mars-Saturn synastry thing is pretty interesting. It’s not like it magically explained everything about our friendship, but it definitely gave me some food for thought. It’s like having a little cheat sheet to understanding some of the underlying tensions in a relationship.
It’s a work in progress, like all relationships, I guess. We are learning how to better communicate.
