Mars - Neptune Aspects: Conjunct Sextile Trine Square Opposition

Mars conjunct Neptune
You tend to act impulsively and yet you don't always take complete responsibility for your actions! It is difficult for you to plan ahead, and therefore your judgment is sometimes cloudy. This leaves much in your life to chance, or fate, and makes it difficult for you to have total control over your life. Learn to look very carefully before you leap and to examine every situation from a realistic point of view.

Because you have a magnetic personality, others are drawn to you and seek the pleasure of your company. Your active imagination is fascinating and inspiring to others. In love relationships you may suffer repeated disappointments until you learn to see your partner more realistically. You tend to look at loved ones through rose-colored glasses, seeing only the parts of their personality that you want to see. This may seem quite pleasant at the time, but it also sets you up for future disappointment when your loved one cannot live up to your idealistic expectations.

Even if you are astute about most people and situations, when you are personally involved it can be hard to see clearly. By all means, be sure to deal with others honestly and to demand that they do so in return. Be cautious in choosing whom you will confide in and be sure to keep your friends' confidences to yourself as well. It is advised with this aspect that you deal with drugs (prescription and otherwise) with great caution. Take good care of your health; you are more prone to infection than others, and practicing safe sex will be especially important for you. You are more a lover than a fighter, you have rich fantasies, and you are a most sensitive and imaginative lover. Your ideal partner makes you feel completely special, and doesn’t bring past lovers into conversations in your bed. -- Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.

Alternate, short interpretations: *You have a very active and fertile imagination and your ambitions are never strictly mundane, practical, and concrete. You have a strong desire to act out your fantasies, dreams, visions, and ideals. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you. Ordinary life seems drab and uninteresting to you, and you need to have some big dream or something larger than your own narrow personal interests to live for. Sometimes you may be confused about exactly how and where to direct your energy and often drift along rather than making clear decisions about what you want. You have a passive side and at times lack the will power, physical energy, strength, and the fighting spirit to achieve your aims.

#Weakness of physical or spiritual strength early in your life tends to push you toward the lessons you need. Indeed, you get help at the right moments to carry you forward on the spiritual path. As you gain experience, you take on the planning of your path as a conscious effort.

Your attempts to assert yourself often result in turmoil for you and/or for others. You tend to swing from one extreme to the other--asserting your needs powerfully at times and at others slipping into a state of total apathy. Passive-aggressiveness can be a problem in your life. Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to you and you must have something that stirs your imagination, some vision or ideal or dream to motivate you. You have a strong urge to act out your fantasies or to live your dream, and you will DO things that others only talk about or dream about. Artistic creation, drama, or other areas in which you can express yourself imaginatively are excellent for you. You tend to either overestimate or underestimate your own power and abilities.
You may lead a somewhat sexually repressed life although your sexual needs are significant. You could suffer from anxieties regarding your sexuality (probably carried over from parental conditioning around sex) and therefore find it difficult to find satisfaction in this area. However, this tends to change as you mature. As you overcome the urge to indulge in momentary physical pleasures, you build the capacity for spiritual ecstasy.

You may be attracted to persons who are unavailable, perhaps because they are already married or simply hard to reach. Sometimes you find it more convenient to see your lover as you wish her to be rather than as she really is. You may find that you lower your standards when choosing a lover and end up with someone who is interested in you primarily for sex, or that the relationship is largely unfulfilling. Disappointments in love may be frequent, although this is also something that improves with age! You are an extremely imaginative lover, and you frequently engage in fanciful and intricate fantasies. This may sometimes interfere with "real life", but if you channel this energy well, it can most certainly improve your sex life. Your imagination is powerful, but it can also get the best of you. You may imagine complex scenarios and get yourself all riled up about what your partner may have done when she wasn't around! -- Interpretation from our LoveStyles Report.

Work that serves only your own narrow personal interests does not satisfy you. You may lack the competitive edge, the fighting spirit, the me-first attitude that is often required for material advancement and success. You also tend to either overestimate or underestimate your own power and abilities.

#You are all too aware of your own weaknesses and need to develop a sure sense of your own spiritual motivation. Then relationships with others form on established ground of inspiration and compassion. As you overcome the urge to indulge in momentary physical pleasures, you build the capacity for spiritual ecstasy.

Note on the differences between trines and sextiles: The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Mars and Neptune have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.

Alternate, short interpretations: Mars sextile Neptune or Mars trine Neptune: *You dream up creative solutions to problems and take an imaginative, unusual approach to getting a job done. When difficulties arise you prefer to avoid conflict and confrontation in favor of more peaceful or subtle methods of resolving problems. Working to help others or for a cause that transcends your own narrow, personal interests is satisfying for you. You have an artistic flair and appreciate the colorful, unique, or strange.

#Compassion comes easily to you. The trick, if there is one, is to think through what will truly help before you leap to the rescue. Let others help themselves when they can.
