Mars Opposite Neptune
Your energy and your dreams pull in different directions, and this is most often seen through other people: mysterious ones, inspiring ones, or those who muddle your plans.
In the Birth Chart
People often come into your life who charm you, inspire you or, on the contrary, throw you off course with their vagueness. Sometimes it feels as if your strength goes into other people's dreams while your own wishes stay in the shadows. It happens that an opponent acts covertly, or that you yourself avoid open confrontation. The task of this aspect is to learn to see people clearly, without idealizing or suspecting. When you find balance between your own will and compassion for others, it gives remarkable strength in creative work and in helping.
Relationships
In love you are prone to being charmed and to idealizing. You're drawn to romantic, creative, sometimes elusive partners. Disappointments and confusion are possible. The relationship grows stronger when you don't lose yourself in the other and speak honestly about what you want.
Work and Money
At work, murky situations are possible: vague agreements, hidden rivals, projects that promise a lot and deliver little. You do well in creative teams and the helping professions. Check contracts and partners' promises especially carefully.
Strengths
- The ability to draw inspiration from people and ideas and bring them to life
- Deep compassion that helps you understand others
- Creative power in joint projects
Pitfalls
- Idealizing partners and the disappointment that follows
- Giving your energy to other people's dreams at the expense of your own
- Vagueness in agreements that others exploit
How to Work With It
When someone charms you, give yourself time and look at their actions, not only their words. Put agreements in writing. Ask yourself where your own wishes are. Your sensitivity to people is priceless if it rests on clarity and self-respect.
In the Sky: What It Means for Everyone
In the sky action stands opposed to fog: the people around you are unclear, promises are vague, and energy easily drains into other people's problems. A time for clarity and caution. A few days when it's hard to tell who wants what. Partners and colleagues can be evasive, and plans fall through from things left unsaid. Many feel tired and want to avoid decisions. Misunderstandings and disappointment in people are possible. The best strategy: clarify, ask again, don't act on suspicion. Sympathy is strong now, but it's important not to sacrifice yourself. Active for about a week around the exact date.
