I’ve been going through a Neptune opposite Mars transit for a long time now… and I am SO ready to be done. I went through Neptune opposite Venus a few years ago and it was quite challenging, but it manifested mostly in me attracting and being attracted to terrible men.

This transit, opposite Mars? I am fatigued, directionless, completely uninspired in my career path… and struggling with emotional eating. I get on track, then off track. On track, off track, and over and over again.

I ask bcs a dear friend has her Mars square mine, and thus is simultaneously undergoing a transit Neptune square Mars. She is struggling with similar issues. Now my Mars is in my 10th, so it makes sense that it’s affecting my career path. Her Mars is in her 2nd, and she’s lost in other ways. But we are both struggling with food- overeating, disordered eating, emotional eating…. And every time we feel we have overcome it, it resurfaces.

That transit tends to lower energy and assertiveness. I went through Neptune square natal Mars several years ago and wish I had the perspective then that I have now.

I recommend bolstering your martial energy with Carnelian or Red Coral. Those are the gems to use to bolster the Mars energy when it is weak. However, Sodalite can also be good for people going through Neptune transits, because there is purpose in this one, and it has to do with learning greater subtlety in our actions and being clearer on the motivation behind them.

Look at what the positive side of Neptune is and how you can facilitate the learning process. It gets better as it goes on. You may need to look at what may be missing in your diet as well. That's the thing with Neptune — What's missing? It could be B-vitamins, or you could be eating something you're allergic/intolerant of that is affecting your energy, blood flow, etc.

Mars is in Vir in 10th. So the things that usually get Mars-Vir bent all out of shape,may not be as potent? Perhaps there is ease in letting yourself slack off now & then?

Or since Mars-Vir tends towards being so hard on themselves,this is an ample opportunity desist from forcing yourself to live up to "perfect" standards?

You may be less self critical. And by consequence, less hard on others? This of course will apply to Vir Mars people who really live up to the Mars Virgo typical manifestations of “never ending improvement”.

Those who found you anal & "difficult", may see another side to you that is less severe and fault-finding. They may say "you've changed"? Thereby affecting your reputation in a whole other light i.e. you suddenly have words like “you are nicer now" or “you are less opinionated than you were before “ thrown at you etc.

You may attract a differing array of people now. This because your frequency has shifted and so has your point of attraction. As other people see you as “soft" or start to recognize that you are not so quick to pull out a knife when feeling defensive.

Nep is imo “all resistance crumbles".So anger,rage,frustration etc- Which are usually the default expression of Mars, will dissipate.You may find that you get over tiffs more quickly? You don’t care who is “wrong" or “right", you are just not interested anymore as you find it draining to get involved in tussles?

There is a quote by Confucius that says “it is only when a mosquito lands on your balls,that you realize that there are ways to solve problems without using violence.”

I am feeling like it is connected to my eating issues.

@Kannon you’re absolutely right about all those points. I feel the fatigue and I understand it’s encouraging me to think about things differently, deeper, and find the meaning. I also agree with food intolerances or deficiencies being the culprit. I am a nutritionist and have struggled with these things for years. The problem is down to what is the trigger, bcs in my experience it’s been a moving target.

@Aries- that cracked me up! I am indeed the typical hardcore Virgo. I am nice to everyone else though, just have very high expectations of myself. I agree it’s encouraging me to be softer, to accept less than perfection for myself. And that’s a good thing. I think it’s mostly been about being kinder to myself. However, the emotional overeating is very real. And frustrating!
