My Experiences Counseling Mars Trine Saturn Synastry Client
Often, the Mars individual embodies a fiery, risk-taking persona, while Saturn presents as more cautious and reflective. As an impassioned go-getter, Mars feels restless and frustrated by Saturn’s hesitancy. Meanwhile, Saturn sees Mars as reckless and impatient, leaping before looking.
For example, Sandra (Mars) wanted to start her own business immediately, while her girlfriend Nina (Saturn) preferred carefully saving funds first. Sandra perceived Nina’s fiscal conservatism as smothering her ambitions. Nina considered Sandra financially irresponsible. Over time, resentments grew.
Through counseling, I guided Sandra and Nina toward mutual understanding. We discussed appreciating differences as assets rather than flaws. Sandra recognized that Nina’s prudence would protect them from destitution. Nina admired Sandra’s trailblazing attitude and began visualizing their shared dreams. I assisted them in discussing pragmatic action steps for manifesting Sandra’s vision while respecting Nina’s need for stability. Their conflict dissolved into unity.
In another case, Marco (Mars) often reacted hotly whenever his wife Clara (Saturn) critiqued him. Marco felt infantilized while Clara intended to help Marco improve. Navigating Clara’s stern guidance exacerbated Marco’s insecurities about his capabilities being inadequate. Meanwhile, Clara saw Marco as rashly dismissive of well-meaning advice.
Over time, Clara retreated emotionally to avoid “walking on eggshells” around the quick-tempered Marco while Marco desperately craved affection to soothe his battered self-confidence. Their communication deteriorated sharply as both felt misunderstood and rejected.
Marco and Clara learned to express appreciation and listen without judgment through counseling. We identified reciprocal needs for reassurance, empathy, and respect. I emphasized focusing on strengths not flaws. Marco and Clara are now more adept at self-soothing and providing unconditional positive regard towards each other. Reestablishing affectionate communication was key to reconnecting.
Ultimately, every Mars trine Saturn couple possesses unique dynamics, histories, wounds, and coping mechanisms that inform their conflicts. Yet underlying themes of impulse versus restraint and fiery independence versus duty-bound stability often emerge. Power struggles may ensue if mutual acceptance isn’t deliberately cultivated.
