Hey oracle here's a bit more background

saturn was conjunct pluto on 13th jan 2020 and signaled the start of the covid pandemic

next relevant aspect in this dynamic is the saturn-uranus square.
1st time it happened in february 2021
for 2nd time it will happen around christmas 2021


here's a few more threads i made in the past for the bigger astrological picture for those interested

regarding the mars-saturn aspect, mars being a fast planet, is important to understand that fast aspects will manifest and express events signaled by the slow aspects. in current case the larger window is defined by the 2 saturn-uranus squares (feb to dec 2021) and planets like mars squaring with saturn will further fine-tune that dynamic
