In synastry the aspect reads both ways: your Mars on their Saturn, or their Mars on your Saturn. The person whose planet is Mars brings desire, energy, a way of fighting; the one whose planet is Saturn brings structure, longevity, commitments. The sextile opens a door: the agreement is there, but it has to be brought to life by gestures, or it stays a possibility.
