The mechanics
What's happening
Saturn trine your Mars
Saturn tests whatever it touches: it slows, limits, pressure-tests and makes real. It brings consequence, structure and maturity, and the fear that nothing is enough. Your Mars is your drive: how you want, act, fight, and go after what you need.
A trine puts the transiting planet 120 degrees from your natal point: the two drives flow together, and the planet's gifts arrive without a fight. Trines are easy to miss because nothing breaks; the opportunity has to be used on purpose. Here the transiting Saturn makes a trine to your natal Mars, so Saturn's drive meets your Mars at that angle. Saturn runs a twenty-nine-year cycle, so this contact repeats about every seven years at one of the four angles.

How long it lasts
Brace, or build?
Saturn takes about two and a half years per sign, so a transit to one point lasts nine to twelve months across three passes (direct, retrograde, direct), occasionally closer to two years if the loop is wide. The felt window starts a few months before the first exact pass.
