I dont think one needs to "fight" it. As the planet aspect is itself a gift. Sometimes a perculiar one. But a gift nevertheless.

But you cant see it when dealing with a strongly Saturnine world as the one we live in.

I often ask for others input. Those whom i believe are objective. Problem is that they start thinking uou are being too dependent on them and then they doubt or dont trust that you can hold it down

Mentally, having a practical ideal for living is important, as per the Edgar Cayce material on the subject of ideals. The Neptunian urge is always seeking the ideal. Therefore you have to give it an aim -- a vision for your life and what you will do in the world.

If it is something that simultaneously contributes to others and betters your own life it is a purposeful spiritual vision. If its all about you, its just an ambition.

Remember, Neptune is a trans-personal. It is about how we mesh with what is outside us in the world of pure consciousness, dreams ... molding, melding, merging, creating.

This may not produce an immediately visible change, but it helps us focus our spiritual urge for the ideal and unity in a practical manner.

When we develop a vision that gives us a purposeful orientation, our imaginative activities now have something important to grab hold of, which means less meandering daydreaming. It means more quiet exploration of How can I help others with this aim ... and How do I bring this about ... and What steps do I take ...

It creates a unity between the need to aim for and obtain the ideal, and the day-to-day practical side of us that too easily becomes task-oriented if not spiritually guided.

But if your Neptunian tendencies manifest mostly as anxiety, insecurity, self-doubt, believing too easily in something outside yourself to soothe your fears ... then you will first need to get grounded effectively before you may be able to develop a vision and ideal for your life.

But let's be clear -- the ability to escape for a little while on a regular basis, to be 'hypnotized' by visual entertainment, music, stories, is a healthy thing. That ability to suspend the task-oriented, problem-solving mind is important for de-activating the active 'doing' sympathetic nervous system (Mercury, Mars) and letting the more passive parasympathetic nervous system bring us rest and healing.

It is all about balance.

I also have Moon sq saturn so you'd think it would help, but actually it reinforces the cycle of escapism.

Having a goal or two helps with this. Find something you want to achieve and working your way towards that. Creating something could also help burn out some of your need to escape.
