Through meditation, or simply by paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, and actions, you can learn to differentiate the two planetary energies and balance yourself between them. For example, I've got a Saturn-Mars square in my chart; by maintaining a conscious balance between the cold patient resistance of Saturn and the hot passionate dynamism of Mars, I can make use of either one at will. "The wise rule their stars, fools are ruled by theirs" -- it's an old adage and a good one.
