Aspects of Mars and Neptune

Mars – Neptune Conjunction

The native has a very active and rich imagination, which at times can run away with them. In order to preserve their common sense, they sometimes need to discipline their thoughts and stop following impossible ideas. Their ambitions and activities may not always be fully practical or concrete, since they like to think in terms of utopia rather than reality. A strong desire to bring their fantasies, dreams, visions, and ideals to life is characteristic of them.

Artistic, musical, or dramatic abilities are developed in the native, and if they can truly organize and discipline themselves for quality work, this will bear fruit. They have a mystical nature and an interest in great spiritual truths. Ordinary life seems gray and uninteresting to them, so they need a great dream or something larger than their own narrowly focused personal interests. They are strongly drawn to the sea; through its vibrations, they can renew and restore their energy.

At times, the native is overcome by confusion about how and where to direct their energy and ambitions. There are times when they simply go with the flow, hoping that something or someone will pick them up and set them on the right course. They must learn to make their own decisions and take responsibility for them. They can be passive, and at times they lack the willpower, physical energy, stamina, and fighting spirit needed to achieve their goals, defend their beliefs, and stand up to people with whom they need to be assertive.

There is a great deal of powerful magnetic energy in this aspect, and the native may find themselves drawn to people or circumstances in strange and unusual ways. Manipulation and deception may be part of this experience, and their participation is possible on either side. They may have difficulty admitting or being willing to tell the truth, and there is also a possibility of encountering people with the same behavior. In any case, they should be careful with the people they meet and with whom they build relationships.

Taking responsibility and disciplining their life is the main message of this aspect. They should not try to run away from trouble and especially should not try to avoid it through drugs or alcohol. They should stay away from negative psychic influences, such as fortune-telling, séances, hypnosis, and mediums. There is an urgent need to be completely honest with themselves and with others.

Mars in Harmony with Neptune

The native enjoys and has a talent for finding creative solutions to problems by using their powers of visualization and imagination. They are a rather passive person who would prefer to avoid conflicts and confrontation in favor of a more peaceful and subtle way of solving problems. They like working with others for a cause that will benefit people around them and those less fortunate than they are. They believe that serving and helping others is one of the best ways to reach God. And they are absolutely right in this understanding.

They have an inclination toward drama, music, fine art, and poetry. Directing their energy into these activities will help keep them in a good mood and emotional state and will help them control their imagination, so that their thoughts and ideas do not run away with them. They have the ability to bring their dreams into reality and are inclined to become a practical idealist. They have mystical inclinations and may be drawn to occultism. Their personal magnetism attracts other people, especially those who need them. They have the ability to be patient and assertive in a positive sense.

Because of their kindness toward others in past lives, they have a certain degree of spiritual protection from hidden enemies who may try to harm them. They know that patience will bring them everything they desire, and they will work persistently to achieve it. They are responsive toward people and animals and are usually overly trusting of all kinds of tear-jerking stories. The sea has a restorative effect on them, and they can probably benefit from its vibrations.

 Inharmonious Aspects of Mars with Neptune

The danger of this aspect lies in the fact that the native, as a rule, wants to escape reality and avoid everyday duties and responsibilities. If this tendency toward denial goes too far, they may seek an escape through drugs or alcohol, which will eventually destroy their life. Ordinary life seems dull and gray to them, so they feel a need for something that will stir their imagination — this may be a vision, an ideal, or a cause that motivates them. Without this impulse, they tend to postpone everything that needs to be done. People count on them, and they let those people down in every possible way, after which others lose respect for them and eventually avoid having any relationship with them at all.

They may have difficulty separating truth from fiction or fantasy from reality. They need to keep their feet firmly on the ground and discipline themselves; only in this way can they remain functional. Yes, it is true that their real home is in the spiritual worlds, but they must live their earthly life here and learn as much as possible from the experience of concrete existence — that is why everyone is here. Therefore, they should stop thinking about skipping the school of life and get back to business.

It is possible that the native can truly follow their dreams and make them real. They have every opportunity to do so if they approach this correctly. The right path lies in focus, concentration, and discipline. Nothing worthwhile can be achieved without discipline, and they must understand this if they have not yet done so. They are an artist at heart, whether their medium is song, dance, drama, poetry, music, art, or painting. Any of these genres will allow them to express the feelings within them and give their emotions release from the everyday hardships of life. Their imagination is capable of a great deal if they constantly keep it under control and do not allow it to run away with them.

Work that serves only their narrowly focused personal interests does not satisfy them. They need something greater in life than simply living for themselves. They may lack the competitive edge, fighting spirit, and “me first” attitude that is often required to achieve material well-being and success. Of course, they may simply not have many earthly ambitions. They also tend either to overestimate or underestimate their own strengths and abilities. Deception and self-deception are also present, both on their part and on the part of other people with whom they come into contact. They are easy prey for swindlers and frauds because they love tear-jerking stories of every kind. They must understand that most people must learn to help themselves. They cannot save the world, no matter how strongly they may want to; the only person they can save is themselves. And this is not an easy task for any person.

There is a tendency to become involved in co-dependent relationships. Either the native, their partner, or both, consciously or unconsciously, may play the role of martyr, victim, or rescuer. They must understand that any relationship not based on equality is ultimately doomed to fail.

This aspect can make the native’s character crude and sensual, impulsive and quick-tempered, militant and extravagant in word and action. Indulgence in passion in any of its forms may lead them to an inability to show restraint in any direction. It tends to give a fanatical spirit, which may manifest in religion as well as in atheism, and there may also be tendencies toward lawlessness. Self-control is the saving grace they need to develop.

The native has talent, even if it is easier for them to doubt their abilities and question their own self-worth. Their inadequate self-esteem distorts the truth, and they must clear their path of illusions. The task is to overcome discouragement and despondency.

They see failure as a sign of their worthlessness and lack of merit for rewards or success. In order to get rid of the feeling of unworthiness, they may shift blame for their failures onto others until their words and gossip convince them that this is truly the truth. In the end, when the real truth is revealed, they suffer greatly because they no longer inspire trust in others. They could save themselves, as well as release inner stress, if they recognized that failures are simply spiritual stumbling blocks that test everyone’s courage and bravery, opening the self again without emotional upheaval. Any suffering they experience will, in the long run, teach them obedience, and this is one of the roads that leads to God, while selfless service to others is another road, safe and certain.

They should beware of the people and situations they become involved with, because not every person is truly who they claim to be. Some of them may be hidden enemies from past lives who are conscious or unconscious messengers of God, behaving in such a way that the native may reap what they have previously sown. They should stay away from negative psychic influence, such as fortune-telling, séances, hypnosis, and mediums. There is an urgent need to be completely honest with themselves and with others.  ✓
