I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with some information on the concept of mars conjunct saturn. I have this aspect (both ways) with a friend of mine--and in our composite horoscope as well. It sounds rather ominous...and according to the astrology books I have read,we're "doomed". > His Uranus is also opposing my Sun (3 degree orb),and my Mercury squares his Neptune (1 degree orb) to add to the projected "misery". Is there any way in which the mars/saturn aspects can be positive or at least not horrible? Thanks very much!--Emmy
