I have Mars square Neptune(6 degrees). That was a very interesting article indeed! This little bit was funny:

''Unconcern for simple things, for everyday life designed by the medias, chatting with the neighbors, gossiping, shopping.''

That's so true for me! I don't like any of it! lol

Thank you for posting! =)

How many times have ordinary people who see him as a wandering Odyssey pitied him. But people do not see what he carries within, only one side of him, dreamy and absent-minded who cannot focus on a normal conversation, who asks what no one else dare to ask, who over the years considers his home his temple, where he nurtures his energy and soul.

To loose oneself in the wilderness of the imaginary only to find a sword then and there, or like me with my Mars/Neptune, two years ago while on a cruise, a knife at the bottom of the sea, – as if Mars/Neptune was whispering in your ear “now, dive in, head first to the bottom!” And so millions of people live with this aspect, not knowing when, but knowing that the right moment for that dive will come, and that they will either find themselves, or discover some new truth that will carry them into new battles, because these people will never be WORKers but WARriors in this transcending space that others do not even suspect exists.

quote:

These are the ones that have first lost then found themselves, and now are helping others do the same. This is the sole mission and the greatness of this aspect, because people with this aspect go through the doors of perception alone. They know that they will not return the same, but forever changed- and that risk of not knowing whether they will return as someone who has known and seen the truth and found / saved themselves, or crippled with a shattered psyche, is what is worth of admiration, of this extraordinary Martian courage to let the man fly into realms outside of space, to places far away from the ones that we are used to, where he would be strong and powerful in the physical sense.

-Mars/Neptune Opposition

All my hard Neptune aspects have always made me feel "different" like either I am missing something or others are but eventually everyone with these aspects should realize the key is to be completely open, to follow your heart and remember the balance. Eventually, you will realize it is a good "different."

" Master of creating the right atmosphere, of trans, ecstasy, almost as if he was seducing"

I usually express my sensuality through my art

"stubbornly stays trapped in this make believe image of her “self ” that isn’t growing in any way but is being glorified to sacredness as a example of idolizing and worshiping oneself"

a psychiatrist diagnosed me with npd when I was about 14

"it can lead to a schizophrenic hell and negative thoughts, a need to control others, submission, lead to psychoses, pathological lying, sociopathic disorders and so on ."

Yeah some of this resonates with me :O

I have Aries Mars, but I am not assertive, I avoid any kind of conflict and have been told I am passive, all this boils down to my tight Mars-Neptune square. Mars is in my 3rd conjunct the IC and Neptune is in the 1st H.

Also it explains the type of men you attract or are attracted to. In my case its the men that I attract. They are usually artists/musicians that lack responsibility and are complete slackers and basically take advantage of my self-sacrificial kindness. Also I have Pisces Moon so this just heightens that.

I'm prone to really glamorizing people and see the ones I love through rose colored glasses. I fall in love so easily and ultimately get hurt so easily.

Also - there were times where I was thinking to myself - "This sounds Libran - not Neptunian/Piscean."... and other times when I was thinking to myself... "This sounds like a Mercury/Neptune aspect - which would trigger the imagination - rather than Mars/Neptune which is present on a more physical level".

Chatting with neighbours.. interest or disinterest in gossip... talent for writing --- this is allll Mercury's playground.. Not Mars.

I have Mars/Neptune conj and Mercury in Pisces. I am strongly and deeply interested in absolutely *everyone* and I don't treat anything trivially... so generally if a neighbour or friend or anyone at all - wanted to talk to me... whether it seems like small-talk or not - I would listen..
Sometimes things seem like small-talk - but the person is barring their soul to you... or sometimes people just need to talk - It might make their day better.
Since I lack air - I don't *like* this much ^
I could go my whole life as a mute - quite possibly..
But I often do it - because I am strongly interested in other people!! And want to make them comfortable!!

I wouldn't have thought Mars/Neptune would be caught up in their own world - and ignoring *others* (and their lives)..
That sounds like a personal sign Mercury ^^ to me...

I think this is an example of the most common "reality" lives,immediate surroundings; I confess to this,I couldn't care less about that,indeed amazing disinterest in stuff that are ...everyday.

"...because these people will never be WORKers but WARriors in this transcending space that others do not even suspect exists."

I have always had a really hard time focusing on the concrete. Uranus opposition my Mars also does not help. I can't deal well at all with routine. I can be aloof and too spontaneous. My art definitely has a Piscean flavor to it, and it is my outlet for anger and stress. When I am very angry because of my difficult relationships and family life i pour all of that into my art. People are very moved by it, since it's poetic and very confessional. But it can be exhausting allowing all of my pain to come out into art, yet it's a cathartic process so I force myself to create even when I am having doubts.

The mentions of imagination and creativity are on target. Mars as the action/direction planet in relation to wishful, dreamy, Neptune can allow poetic and artful self-expression. Otherwise, the person finds themselves too easily falling short in competition, too easily disappointed when aiming at results defined by outward definitions. Forget winning. Dance, drift, play with color, light, sound, and illusion.

In some ways it is the adventure of the mind and imagination waiting to take hold creatively.

In musical tastes I'm a metal head, but I prefer some space left for imagination in some of the heavy music I listen to like Insomnium: https://youtu.be/icqddnGuijs (listening to it now ...) or Dreamshade, or less heavy Within Temptation, or some of the symphonic metal like Epica or others.

If you have Mars-Neptune in strong aspects, but don't find comfort in music or art of some kind, as an active participant (Mars, doer) then you are likely to experience disillusionment or disappointment with life. My first therapy and long-term creative pursuit was writing songs/poetry starting age age 14. I've been doing it 31 years. Recently I wrote at least a poem a day for 25 days. I've started again and successfully completed my 2nd day in a row.

Last night I watched Punch Drunk Love, the movie starring Adam Sandler and Emily Watson (Phillip Seymour Hoffman supporting). There were these weird smudgy, blurring color collages used at times for transitions within the film sequences, but also at the end. I laid there in bed at the end staring at them imagining that I could paint with my fingers these small (8.5 x 11"?) spontaneous paintings full of color rapidly applied with a time limit (say 5 minutes). I realized I've never thought of myself as a painter or even an artist, but that's because it has come natural to sing, to write songs, write poetry. Why not paint?

Live to create. We all do, and if we don't we start dying inside.

Birth something alive with yourself into your life, a child, a painting, or many of them, and make it beautiful. What other way is there to live and be happy?

To be made in the likeness of the Creator is to be a creator.

My Mars/Neptune conjunction in earth is just more practical. My brand of art - is being able to amaze people by putting together a complicated piece of 'build-it-yourself' furniture... in 5 minutes (without the use of instructions) loll
