Mars conjunction Saturn: April 10, 2024

There’s no way of accurately measuring the level of astrological discord currently impacting Earth or its scope of influence but the indications are it is sky-high.

On January 27, 2024 progressed Mars conjunction birth chart Saturn in the Aquarian Age chart reached peak power and in February 2024 the devastation and suffering in Gaza escalated. With Mars conjunction Pluto in the sky the Israel-Hamas war turned into a humanitarian catastrophe. 

Now in April 2024 the discord is set to intensify as Mars in the sky moves to form a conjunction aspect with Saturn on April 10 at 8.36pm GMT. And their in-sky conjunction could time major events mapped by the major Mars-Saturn conjunction in the Aquarian Age chart.

Mars is the planet of strife, aggression, brutality, hate, anger, revenge, recklessness, bombs, guns and barbed wire and Saturn signs for security, ultra-conservatism, traditional values, natural resources, climate change, the weather, land and environmental issues, public health emergencies, greed, selfishness, fear, panic, anxiety, despair, suffering, grief and loss.  

Their in-sky merger combines war, conflict, the military, army, missiles, violence, explosions, banditry, vice, gambling, intoxicants, industrial workers, police, fires, firefighters, doctors and accidents with safety, economy, poverty, the farmer, miner, crops on the ground, the common laborer, minerals, basic utilities and destruction by storm.  

Mars conjunction Saturn forecasts…

… warfare: heavy casualties in war zones; territorial disputes; land grabs; emergency security situations; shootings; violence prevention measures; the regulation of firearms; a public health emergency; angry farmers; farming disputes; angry miners; mining accidents; fires; monster storms; floods; mudslides; earthquakes; volcanic eruptions; environmental disasters and/or climate disputes.

And one, two or maybe three history making events which the current political-conflict situation here on Earth facilitate.

The aspect’s event forecast period is March 23 to April 28, 2024.

The Mars-Saturn conjunction is sextile Moon (civilians aka the common people); sextile Jupiter (finances, diplomacy, legal issues, law, courts and religion); and semisquare Pluto (division, disunity, coercion, hostages and the United Nations). The sextile aspects indicate that the Mars-Saturn events could have some benefits, but the discord is diverse and widespread.

Many countries have a fragile security situation; Gaza is a powder-keg waiting to explode – the people are starving; Russia wants Ukraine and Ukraine wants ammunition; the EU wants to shift to a war economy mode; China’s economy is unravelling and wants Taiwan; Myanmar’s civil war is raging; gang violence is rampant in Haiti; farmers in India and across Europe are angry; doctors in South Korea are feuding with the government; climate change is impacting cities world-wide; Mexico City has a water scarcity crisis due to a shortage of rain; loneliness is a major global health crisis; and Saturn’s ultra-conservatives abetted by Lower-Pluto are leading the push to overthrow Uranus and Aquarius and their program of progressive liberalism, democracy and altruistic endeavor.

We stress this in-sky aspect does not herald inevitable events. It defines an energy-event that impacts current circumstance and up’s the potential for events of the Mars-Saturn type to occur. And its influence is strictly global. It will have no direct influence on you personally.
