On June 4, 2006, transiting Mars entered 0 Leo. As of the same day, transiting Saturn is lingering at 7 Leo.
Every 22 months, Mars has a 'fight' or 'talk' with Saturn. That's how long one orbit of Mars takes around the sun and sooner or later, 'little brother' Mars is going to run into his 'father', Saturn....and if you own teenagers...you know how well they get along with parents. And yes, that's about how it is up in the cosmic sky above us when teenage/acne scarred Mars comes head-to-head with 'dad' Saturn. The two simply do not get along. They don't see eye-to-eye. It is rash youth vs. age and experience. It is rebel vs. authority. Put another way: STRESS is going to come into your life like a Mack truck and you have to figure out a way to deal with it in a positive way.
You get the picture.
And yes, this is what June amounts to for all of us in minor or major ways. Those mostly affected are Leos because these two have decided to have their fights/bickering/squabbles and temper-trantrums (Mars only), in Leo's backyard. No fun for Leos, let me tell you!
And by opposite sign,Aquarians aren't exactly home free, either. There's a lot of things coming to a head in their lives because of this feisty, can't-get-along duo.
Let's look at the players to get a better understanding of how they may stain or penetrate our daily existence and how we can see them coming and how we can dodge their bullets they're firing each other, hopefully.
MARS: if you want a quick visual, this is the pouty 16 year old teen boy, with ragin' hormones, got acne on his face, he's restless, he's got a chip on his shoulder, he's out to prove something to his own group of tag-alongs as well as his peer group.
SATURN: this is the dowdy old male or female who has been through the wars of life and knows how to pick their battles and when to retreat for a better time and place. These are your gray haired oldsters; slow, patient, steady, stubborn, good with boundaries and any authority in general (think legal/judges, police pulling you over for a speeding ticket/your boss at work/any one who has some kind of say-so over you and your life....IRS, for example...)
And now that you have a 'feel' for the two players, you need to understand Leo because this is where the wrestling matches are going to take place. Leo is a FIXED sign. He thinks he's king of the jungle and he what he knows, he's right about--always. Perish the thought he can be limited or not have omniscient knowing qualities. Leo is a FIRE sign, so when this lion gets his tail stepped on, he isn't a happy camper. Opinionated, stubborn, know-it-all, drama-king/queen, and you go Leo. You can also see Leo's in their worst as Don Quixote tilting at windmills for no logical reason...but Leo is on a quest and that's all that counts!
Things in your life come to a head and decisions are made; no more wondering or waiting...crunch time is here!
The Cosmic Recipe for June is a dash of Mars, a dash of Saturn and a cup of Leo. This is a cake that's bound to blow up in the oven and take the house with it!

You can begin to put two-word sentences together with these two and see what you get. But let's look at some of the most common things that crop up with Mars/Saturn who will be getting closer and closer until the conjunction on June 19, 2006:
accidents--all kinds--stupid ones--you aren't paying attention type of inuries....dealing with knives/cuts, machinery, tools, guns, weapons of any type, dog bites, snake bites, scorpion stings, deadly insect stings/bites that send you to ER, broken bones, broken teeth, going to the dentist unexpectedly, sprains, strains, torn ligaments/tendons, tendonitis, eruptions of all kinds--asthma, allergy reactions, skin problems, poison ivy/oak, ect.
road ragers
temper tantrums
authority figures confront you
skin problems--all types of rashes/eruptions/shingles/acne/ect
accidents--tripping and falling, car accidents, accidents involving machinery--cutting skin, ripping skin, gouging skin, taking a hunk of skin
impatient
less patience than normal
frustration--big time
jaw-clenching time
physical manifestation of something for you--could be anything--just look at your life--decisions are made and you know about them. If you're in Saturn's good graces, the news will be good. If you aren't....it won't be...it's called 'karma' so suck it up and get on with it and do what you need to do to bow to authority appropriately
drama kings/queens do their thing--don't get hooked into their dramas--remain detached--it's their gig--not yours
popping a fuse emotionally speaking
ranting/raving--and it doesn't work
crabby
growling
irritable
bad mood in general
can't tolerate people or their normal dysfunctional ways
want to be left alone--want to be a hermit--want to run for the mountains and hide there for infinity (nice try, won't work...but a vacation or some time out is a good idea...)
doing stupid things because you let anger get the best of you
overreacting and thinking later and wishing you'd done it the other way around afterward...
putting your foot in your mouth and looking like the fool you are
TAKE HOPE! IT'S NOT ALL BAD NEWS!
Those are the general things you'll see with humans. Now, it isn't all bad. Remember, Saturn is the Lord of Karma and at it's best, its going to give you exactly what you have earned through a lot of care, hard work and responsible attitude. In these cases (and most people will fall into this bushel basket instead of the one above) Mars then becomes a TRIGGER or CATALYST for something to happen in your life. And it could be wonderful news! It could make you very happy. And the news will probably be life-changing, big and you might question if you can do it or not. Don't worry: you can! Just say: yes!! Because this is decision making time at it's biggest and best between June 4-19th.
If you have been working on a project and you've waiting a long time for an answer--fear not--the answer is coming. For many, you're going to get good news.
FEEL LIKE YOU JUST GOT HIT BY LIGHTNING?
And I've got to tell you, June 19th is one helluva day. Why? That is the day when Mars and Saturn are at 9 degrees Leo and conjunct. And then....
Uranus goes retrograde on that day, too.
ZOWIE! Talk about lightning bolt changes/decisions...phew! Hang on, because it's gonna be quite a ride that day! Uranus is at 14 Pisces that day and is making an inconjunct (wide orb) to Leo and all the battles taking place between Mars/Saturn.
Whatever decisions are made are going to cause you to probably squirm a little. You might ask yourself; can I really pull this off? Am I up to it?
Listen, if you got chosen for it--you CAN DO IT. So get over the knee-knockin' and just get on with doing it because you can.
Sometimes, Saturn hands out really BIG things and then you question if you're up to the task. Trust me: you are. If you couldn't do it, Saturn wouldn't ask you to do it.
HANDLING MARS-SATURN ENERGY
Some simple rules to apply from June 4-19th:
1. Take deep breaths and count to 10 before you reply after you've been trigger and are upset/angry
2. meditate daily and get the 'edge' off your energy or being around those who are really freakin' out with this combative energy.
3. go for a walk in nature by yourself or with your doggy
4. read a book... Zone out for awhile and unplug from all the drama dancing around you
5. spend time with a good friend who loves you just the way you are and you're not fighting with
6. people living together need to give each other a lot more rope to run around on than they generally do because STRESS is all around us....give them room and latitude...it will be worth it
7. At work, do the same thing--some folks are going to be horrendously stressed out by this duo--so be kind to them, compassionate, understanding and hey...maybe you can take a small load off their shoulders if possible? If not, a kind word, extra patience goes a long way in helping them cope during this period
8. Stand or sit daily in your Vesica Piscis symbol...guaranteed t DEstress you in a few heartbeats. During this period, you may want to do this 2-3 times a day and oh yes, just before bedtime, too.
9. Be understanding, don't knee-jerk. Try very hard to put yourself in that poor person's place that is acting out Mars/Saturn. If you can do this, you can defuse the situation between you and them and create peaceful coexistence
Suffice to say, this is a turbulent time as we head for June 19th; a real kick-in-the-pants, but not without a lot of opportunity hanging around at the same time. When you get titans like Mars and Saturn sitting in the same room together, it's never comfortable....but, it can be made to work. And at their finest, they can forget their age difference and work together like an excellent 'can-do' team and create incredible offerings/gifts/well deserved raises, promotions, books being bought, ideas being accepted...and well...gosh, these two can literally be at their finest... like a fantastic Fairy Godmother waving her magic wand over you....
And fairy dust creates miracles, and happy moments and gifts and rewards....may you be one of them in this month of June!
Just remember: If you have been honest, told the truth, carried your load, done the best you can, been responsible and dependable, done the hard work day in and day out...well, Saturn is going to deliver the nicest of surprises to your doorstep on or about June 19th! Well earned and I must say, karmically deserved.
