Mars Rules Aries Mars transits protective Cancer while retrograde Saturn, transits in identity-based Aries. Thus, Mars the ruler of Aries guides Saturn while in the sign of Aries. Their energy influencing us to redetermine directions in addressing what drives our honest needs of identity. These relate to the emotional drives supporting close-knit, family-like relationships.
