A DIFFICULT TWO DAYS AS MARS CONJUNCTS SATURN

Covd_19 prevails and we are all in lockdown which in itself is draining.
Mars the planet of action and aggression as well as anger is now conjunct with Saturn. Saturn is the disciplinarian, the bossy planet who wants to control and take charge.
This energy of Mars and Saturn co-joining in the heavens is like a soldier and general bumping heads, at a standoff, the energy is angry, frustration and irritation will lead to destructive outbursts.
It is not just the feeling of entrapment we are all dealing with but a build up of fear and tension for what has occurred to put us into this situation.
With this aspect we feel stuck, trapped and ready to blow, some will, others will detach or in some cases close down.
We are all feeling this and need to understand the aspect is affecting all of us, bringing up all sorts of issues and deep hidden truths we are now facing. The ability to act on what is being felt is restricted by Saturn and seethes within.
Any decision we make needs to be considerate to others; these two planets are connecting in Aquarius the sign that brings about innovation and a need to connect with groups and societies. It is a friendly, social, broadminded, and humane sign.
The problem is we have the two most malefic planets, Saturn and Mars in hand to hand combat in this sign Aquarius. The negative side of Aquarius comes out in full force where we cannot help becoming , impersonal as it all about me and my issues, unpredictable behaviour follows and we may find ourselves becoming tactless almost looking for a fight or arguments.
A strong rebellion from the masses may be seen and we can expect aggressive behaviour from both the collective people and authority figures.
We are a boiling point and have the danger or reacting in a destructive way, we feel angry yet have no outlet to express out anger, and this energy will become physically destructive.
The way out is to find something to do that may require physical energy, find that untidy cupboard that is out of control turn it into a project, throw out, clean, tidy and even rearrange it.
Other outlets for this frustration are to find some sort of project where you can focus and concentrate, where careful discipline and technique can be applied. A sharp focus on a creative project will help.
Aquarius being a fixed air sign brings about an innovative mind set, we need to activate this and do something structured even disciplined as we focus on a project that will take us out of this frustrating confined mind numbing energy.
We have Google and can find something that can challenge us removing us from this trapped angry and frustrated energy. Origami for one can focus your mind; taking advantage of free online training programs is another option, learning how to hone your PowerPoint skills or even trying your hand at sketching. Now is a time to sign on to a short course that has been in the back of your mind or self study a subject of interest.
Do something people, avoid the negativity, take your mind into a place that requires a concentrated disciplined focus. If you do this by the end of the week you could gift yourself with a new skill and happier state of mind.
