Astrologers concur that the current eclipse season is the most likely cause of sluggishness. “According to astrologer Ryan Marquardt, eclipses are just energetically draining events. “During eclipses, it’s usually not a good idea to concentrate your energy. It’s a good time to take a break from manifesting, relax, and see what happens in your life. With that in mind, if you’re attempting to make things happen right now, you might be exhausted.

Why am I so exhausted today?
Even though everyone has days when they are exhausted, being exhausted all of the time is not natural.
Chronic fatigue can be caused by a variety of circumstances, including underlying medical issues, dietary shortages, sleep difficulties, caffeine consumption, and chronic stress.
If you’re feeling inexplicable fatigue, talk to your doctor to figure out what’s causing it.
Your exhaustion should improve in many cases once you discover the underlying cause(s) and make the necessary lifestyle and nutritional changes, or get the proper medical treatment for medical disorders.
What planets are causing my exhaustion?
A tumultuous summer? Aggressive Mars and authoritarian Saturn will travel together through heated Scorpio during the last week of August and the first week of September. Saturn is a slower-moving planet, thus this only happens every couple of years or so.
Mars is impetuous, bold, impatient, and aggressive, and he’s always up for a fight. It’s like a cocky cosmic adolescent who wants to leap without looking. Saturn, on the other hand, is the cautious curmudgeon, constantly adopting the conservative path and functioning as a restraint, if not oppressive, buzzkill. As a result, when the two combine their energies, it’s as if one foot is on the accelerator (Mars) while the other is on the brakes (Saturn). Greetings, whiplash.
The sign of controltensions and brazen abuses of power is par for the course with surging Mars confined by domineering Saturn both in Scorpio. To wit, we’re dealing with the near-police state of Ferguson, Missouri, the beheading of American journalist James Foley by ISIS, and the continuous Israel-Gaza conflict. (Does anyone else ever wonder what planet we’re on?) For the past month, Mars has been colliding with Jupiter, setting the stage for a tumultuous summer.
You may be experiencing this transit in your own life as well. We realized we had to write about it after hearing so many individuals talk about being exhausted, experiencing violent dreams, and clashing with loved ones. As with any difficult astrological transit, we often turn to Winston Churchill, another Sagittarius, for advice: “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” Knowing that the stars are in crisis and that this, too, shall pass might help you get through any hard patches.
Here are some of the ways you might experience this Mars-Saturn conjunction:
A Mars-Saturn conjunction is known to cause rage. Worse, it’s all too easy to dehumanize the object of your rage, viewing them as a one-dimensional “enemy” rather than a fellow human being deserving of compassion. People pick sides, form divisions, get super-righteous, and determine who is “us” and who is “them” in this aspect. You may also have some concerns that you’ve swept under the rug, and it’s time to confront them head on. We offer Colin Tipping’s book Radical Forgiveness as a resource for dealing with painful circumstances, people, or memories without tearing oneself down.
Because Mars is the planet that provides us our life-force energy and vitality, when Saturn limits it, you may feel gloomy, pessimistic, or unmotivated. The tragic suicide of Robin Williams, who took his own life recently, casts a pall on this journey. Because Saturn rules experts, if you’re having trouble with heavy thoughts or are falling into a dark realm, get professional help.
Saturn is the planet of age and time, while Mars is the planet of youth and vigor. With Saturn perched over Mars, you may feel and perhaps appear to be a few years older than you are.
Hasty Mars makes us more prone to mishaps, especially when it comes to falls and sharp items. When using knives in the kitchen or using any type of machinery, exercise extreme caution (lawn mower, food processor, etc.). Pay attention to your surroundings, since a Mars-Saturn conjunction can lead to an increase in crime.
Saturn’s caution and Mars’ agitation might make you feel uncomfortable, nervous, or worried for reasons you don’t understand. Don’t be surprised if you start acting paranoid or even thinking about death and gloom (not to be morbid!). In the previous few days, we’ve heard of a few people suffering with anxiety and panic episodes.
During this time, you may have odd or even violent dreams, which are most likely tied to an area of your life where you are feeling stuck or frustrated.
Saturn represents dads, men, and authority figures (bosses, politicians). We feel enraged at political leaders, and properly so. It’s little wonder that President Obama stirred controversy by going straight to the golf course after learning of Foley’s death and failing to make a personal presence during Ferguson’s sweltering heat.
Under the influence of Saturn, people become more serious about making things official, yet they may rush and overlook details in their zeal. Deals could fall through at the last minute or be signed hurriedly. With Saturn in the mix, you may be anxious to DO something or make things official, but hesitant or timid about taking action. Find the appropriate balance of patience and initiative, which we understand can be difficult!
So, what can we do about it?
It’s also beneficial to contemplate the larger lesson. Crises, on the other hand, provide possibilities for progress. This mode of transportation allows us to slow down where we’re rushing and speed up when we’re procrastinating. It’s all about striking a balance between being active/proactive and the wisdom of taking a step back for a fresh perspective. We want to transform anger into constructive action rather than just fan the flames of unhappiness, helplessness, and hatred as it erupts around the world. Saturn encourages us to take charge, while Mars provides courage. Now, more than ever, we need some courageous voices for justice. What can you do with yours?

Even managing your daily concerns may be too exhausting for you.
The majority of the time, there is a reason for the exhaustion. Allergic rhinitis, anemia, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic renal disease, liver illness, lung disease (COPD), a bacterial or viral infection, or another health condition could be the cause.
