TRANSITING NEPTUNE CONJUNCT NATAL MARS

Mars’ and Neptune’s energies do not blend overly well with one another.  Mars’ energies can be aggressive, dynamic and even a bit impulsive.  Neptune’ energies are soft and gentle.  Neptune strives to slow down aggression and impulse and pushes you to connect with something higher.  Neptune discourages any ego impulse.  It seeks purity and focuses its energies into directions that assist others.  Mars is drive and ambition and is often self-directed which usually involves the ego. 

Since Neptune puts a vail of fog over anything it touches, you will have to watch for being mislead or misdirected.  Neptune can be deceitful at times as what you see may not be what is.  Mars wants to direct energy into self-serving areas.  If however you manage to persuade Mars to channels its energies into constructive, mystical pursuits or spiritual insight, you will blend more appropriately with Neptune’s influence, although this may be a challenging thing to do.

Neptune will not push its way into being.  It acts in a peaceful manners and knows that enlightenment is not something that can be pushed into existence.  Its energies flow when the time is right.  We cannot push hard to achieve mystical understanding, although we can direct our energy in the appropriate directions.  We have to move ourselves in the appropriate direction because we enjoy this way of life and truly want this to be a part of our life.  Once we have surrendered ourselves, only then will we catch a glimmer of what we are looking for.  There can be no ego connection in our spiritual unfolding.  Any eagerness to succeed may hinder the results and this is a challenge for Mars as it wants to direct its energies and channel it in ways that will assist in reaching its goals.

Be sure to take care of yourself during this transit as there is potential for the weakening of the body and its function.  Moderate exercise programs are suggested and eating a proper diet is equally as important. 

Neptune can have the tendency to deplete our energies and anything that is rigorous and too stressful will tax us physically.  Neptune also rules drugs and alcohol as well as prescription drugs.  We should be very warry of using any of these substances during Neptune’s stay with Mars.  Any kind of upper or stimulant should certainly be avoided.  The body is very sensitive.  We should also watch for poisoning the body by mixing drugs and using them in inappropriate manners.  Substance abuse is a real danger during this aspect.

Channeling the energies will be the greatest issue during this aspect, but if we can find time to meditate and contemplate living for the greater good, we will have done our best at directing these energies appropriately.
