Mars-Saturn Conjunction Transit Stories
5/19/20261 hr 53 min
In this episode a group of students and patrons join me to reflect on the recent Mars-Saturn conjunction in Aries, and to share stories of how it manifested in our lives based on which of the twelve houses it was transiting in our birth charts. The episode opens with a brief introduction where I talk about the importance of taking into account both the entire range of the sign-based conjunction or copresence between Mars and Saturn, which lasted from April 9 until May 18, as well as the more intense range of the degree-based conjunction which went exact on April 19. After that I interview several people about their experience of the conjunction, and we end up covering most of the twelve houses. A recurring theme that we keep encountering is letting go of something in our life that was represented by the house of the conjunction, such as quitting smoking under a 6th house conjunction, quitting one's job due to their boss in the 10th house, or leaving one's marriage in the 7th house. It was clear that although this process of letting something go wasn't easy, in many instances it was freeing up the native and making room for something better that would develop in that area of the life in the future.

We just finished a Mars-Saturn conjunction in the sign of Aries that was co-present for the last five weeks and culminated at an exact conjunction between Mars and Saturn on April 19th. And today I wanna talk with a group of different, uh, students of my Hellenistic astrology course, as well as patrons of The Astrology Podcast, to hear some stories about how the Mars-Saturn conjunction went and what kind of events played out in their lives based on the whole sign house that the conjunction was transiting over the course of the past several weeks. So, uh, yeah. So this is gonna be probably an episode of The Astrology Podcast, as well as a recording for my Hellenistic astrology course students, where I do a live webinar every month to go through things and look at charts and try to teach in practice, um, how I've taken some of the ancient techniques of Hellenistic astrology and incorporated them into astrology in a modern context and merged them with some of the techniques that I still think are, are valid and relevant for modern astrology. So one of those techniques that I realized and found early on is that the ancient astrologers were paying attention to both sign-based conjunctions and sign-based aspects as well as degree-based aspects, and they considered to be both important and relevant. So in modern times, aspect theory had become pretty much exclusively or almost exclusively degree-based, where modern,
