Lisa Hart Mars and Saturn are conjunct in Aries today (4/19/2026). It strikes me that Mars has been held back from it’s usual surging, forceful GO! energy for some time now. It is the last but Athena to leave the Pisces Stellium and even as Mars moves into it’s home sign it immediately conjuncts Neptune, and then, today Saturn. Both of these larger forces call on the Divine Animus to slow down and rein in his impulses. This calls to mind what happens in a natural, wild herd of horses. Contrary to popular belief, the stallion does not get to cover any mare at any time. Far from it. The mares decide who, when and how the stallion will engage with a mare. A filly, freshly in heat will be protected by her mother, sisters, aunts and cousins, who will send out the stallion away from the herd again and again until he can cool his heat and mate with the mare in season with calm respect. This insures that the filly or mare will not be hurt or come to harm by the engagement. I see this Mars in this way. As Mars has moved through Pisces and now Aries he has had conversations with Mercury, the North Node, the Sun and the Moon in Pisces, Jupiter in Cancer, Uranus in Taurus, Neptune in Aries and Sedna in Gemini to mention just a few of the Goddess/Anima energies that have called on him to cool his jets, connect to Spirit, and remember to come from a place of compassion, respect and integrity. Now he is in conversation with Saturn in Aries, who bids him build structures underpinning his aspirations and calls him to ground his lift off in reality. Saturn is Mountain/Earth, akin to the King of Pentacles; practical, slow, deliberate and mindful of Karma; stern but fair. The Aries Stallion will need to embody these traits before a Union with the Anima is allowed or fruitful.
Even as Mars joins Saturn, the King of Earth, in Aries, the Sun moves into Taurus. More slow energy which we really, really need as Uranus moves into Gemini later in the week (4/25/2026).
The synchronicity and wisdom of the Celestials is astounding and mind blowing.
Of course, Mars can ignore all of this and blast off in self interested, mindless ego gratification, but the outcome will not be fruitful. It will be a blaze of destruction or burn out. May we listen to the wisdom of the Spheres and rein in our impulses for our greater good and for the good of All.
