Mars Opposing Saturn
Mars in sensitive Cancer is opposing Saturn in harsh, remote Capricorn. Even without the added emotions, this is one of the toughest, most unpleasant energies of all. It occupies a middle ground on timing. It doesn't come around often, but it's not really rare.
It occurs every two years -- usually in different sign pairs. So you won't feel like you're up against "that old familiar problem" -- because the battleground changes. But that doesn't make it any more pleasant -- sadly.
When Mars opposes Saturn, action you want to take, projects you want to succeed, things you want to do are blocked -- temporarily -- by immovable people, attitudes and situations. Sometimes you can tell yourself you're just a victim of circumstances or really bad timing, but sometimes this face-off feels very personal.
People (situations, etc.) with the power to hurt you or stop your momentum ... do that. Sometimes they're clearly doing everything in their power to hold you back. Sometimes they fail to help (or get out of the way) although clearly, too, they could make other, more considerate choices.
Sometimes their attitude is, "you haven't paid your dues yet / you haven't earned this reward / you haven't suffered enough" -- and that alone can be infuriating. Sometimes you're up against "the rules of the game" -- or, as I said, unfortunate timing. But people whose lack of cooperation can keep you waiting -- and stymied -- choose to do so, just because they can.
So, if you feel frustrated, disappointed, held down, furious, dissed, etc, there are good reasons for this, but it won't last forever. Give it a couple of weeks to dissolve. It will. Or you'll find a way around it. Either one works.
