MARS ACTION SQUARES SATURN
Re-Identification Process
Seattle astrologer Tara Aal joins Sue to explore the dynamic energy of “Mars Action Squares Saturn.” As transiting Mars movs through protective Cancer while Saturn transits identity-based Aries they form a square challenging us to reconsider actions. Specifically, this intense process launched on August 23 right in the middle of eclipse season, just prior to the Lunar Eclipse. Ultimately, the aspect reaches its exact culmination on September 1st at 13°, remaining within active orb until September 8.Â
Mars Rules Aries
Significantly, because Mars rules—or guides—the sign of Aries, this action-oriented square to Saturn in Aries initiates high-potency movement. However, you might wonder how this energy actually shows up. Because Saturn is retrograde until December 10, it internalizes re-establishing our motives while Mars continues its journey through several signs. However, while Mars is in Cancer, this square to Saturn directly addresses our identity as it relates to our emotional drives and close-knit, family-like relationships. Therefore, by taking conscious steps to protect our well-being, we align with the fundamental needs that truly support our evolving identity.
30-Year Cycle
Although Mars orbits the Sun in roughly two years, Saturn takes nearly 30 years. Consequently, Saturn transiting Aries while Mars is in Cancer repeats only about every 30 years—with the most recent occurrences on August 15, 1996, and July 11, 1968. I might venture to say that widespread beliefs about what creates our personal legacy have tremendously evolved since 1996. As we consciously heal collective self-worth, we are invited to participate in a deeper purpose—reflecting on where we belong, with whom, and what kind of community truly matters as we redetermine our personal direction.

Panelist Bio for MARS ACTION SQUARES SATURN
TARA AAL: I’m an eclectic astrologer, writer, educator, artist, and tarot reader from Seattle — and co-author of Astrology by Moonlight and Natural Astrology. Since 2011, I’ve consulted, taught, and spoken at the Living Astrologies Conference, NORWAC, UAC, Kepler College, and ISAR.
Building community is important to me. I nurture it in the small groups moving through my private classes, and Astrology Essentials program. I also facilitate workshops with colleagues Stephanie Phillips and Walter Jager weaving together Jungian ideas, IFS (Internal Family Systems), and astrology. As an IFS-informed astrologer, my approach is human-first, embodied, imaginal, and experiential — helping us open to and deepen relationships with ourselves (our inner multiplicity) and each other.
One of my great passions is Living Planets 1st, an active, living astrological ritual for bringing out the planets within and without. I currently serve as Ethics Chair for CAPISAR.
