Transit Mars Conjunct Natal Neptune

Dream-chasing energy

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Mars conjunct Neptune transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t jump into new physical activities or risky sports- you might get clumsy or overestimate what you can do.
• Avoid making big life decisions based on a “gut feeling” alone. Things aren’t always what they seem right now.
• Don’t start arguments or confrontations. People might misunderstand you, or you could misinterpret their motives.
• Try not to party too hard, especially with alcohol or anything that alters your mind. It’s super easy to overdo it with this transit.
• Don’t get involved in anything shady, secret, or dishonest. Deceptions have a way of coming back around under this transit.
• If you’re feeling tired or drained, don’t push yourself past your limits. Listen to your body.
• Don’t trust every promise someone makes or every offer you get, especially if it sounds too good to be true.
• Avoid taking shortcuts at work or school, expecting that things will just magically work out. Details matter right now.
• Don’t bury your feelings or avoid dealing with emotions- otherwise, they might come out in ways you didn’t expect.
• Try not to ignore your intuition completely, but also don’t let it run wild. Balance is important.

Do During This Transit

• Get creative! Use your imagination in art, music, dance, or writing- anything that lets you express yourself in a dreamy way.
• Start a spiritual or meditation practice. This transit is great for tuning into your intuition and connecting with your inner self.
• Chase new inspiration. Let yourself be inspired by movies, poetry, or nature walks- sometimes the best ideas come now.
• Do charity work or help others. Mars with Neptune is great for giving your time or energy to a good cause.
• Work on manifesting your dreams. Take some small steps towards bigger goals, even if things feel a little uncertain right now.
• Explore healing activities like yoga, Reiki, or energy work. This is a time when your body and soul might really soak up gentle, healing approaches.
• Follow your intuition- if you get a gut feeling about something, pay attention. Your instincts are super strong during this transit.
• Try activities that blend action and imagination, like acting, improv, or creative sports (think: martial arts or interpretive dance).
• Dream journal or keep track of your daydreams. There could be cool insights hiding in your dreams right now!
• Take time for self-care. Gentle exercise, bubble baths, or just chilling out is really helpful when energies can feel a little confusing.

What’s interesting about this transit?

When Mars is conjunct your natal Neptune, most folks talk about confusion or creative bursts, but there’s actually some pretty wild stuff hiding in old astrology books. Here are some more obscure takes you probably haven’t heard before:

• Ghosts and Spirits: Old astrology texts sometimes say this transit “thins the veil” between worlds. You might be more open to psychic experiences, strange dreams, or even seeing things that aren’t usually visible. People in the past actually watched for Mars-Neptune links during seances!
• Accidental Intoxication: Ancient astrologers warned about taking the wrong medicine or accidentally getting drunk or poisoned during this transit, because Neptune’s confusion mixed with Mars’s impulsiveness could lead to “unintended inebriation.”
• Misdirected Battles: It’s said that Mars conj. Neptune could make a person “fight shadows,” putting energy into imaginary problems or even waging war on behalf of the wrong cause. Old war generals reportedly worried about this aspect for their troops’ morale.
• Contagion or Lethargy: Classic astrology sometimes linked this combo to random fevers, mysterious illnesses, or feeling worn-out by “invisible forces.” Some believed it made people more attractive to otherworldly energies (good or bad!) if they were sick or run down.
• Secret Romance: There’s an uncommon belief that Mars-Neptune encourages secret affairs, forbidden trysts, or being swept up in mysterious attractions, especially the kind that feel enchanted or confusing.
• Pilgrimage and Escape: Some ancient sources note that this transit makes people crave a journey with a secret purpose or want to run away from ordinary life, chasing spiritual or mysterious experiences.

Experiencing This Transit

So, Mars sitting right on your natal Neptune can feel like you’ve had a mystery potion slipped into your morning coffee. You might not even realize how this weird cocktail of action (Mars) and dreams (Neptune) is mixing things up until you look back later and go, “Wow, what the heck was I doing?”

Challenges During This Transit

• Low Energy and Motivation: It’s super common to feel like your energy is melting. You may want to get things done, but it feels like you’re swimming through fog- you start, then just lose steam or get distracted.
• Easily Deceived: Be careful with promises, contracts, or anyone offering something that sounds a little too magical. People may not be telling the truth (or you might not even be seeing things clearly yourself). Watch out for scammers, or even friends who stretch the truth.
• Escaping Reality: The urge to check out- binge-watching shows, diving into video games, or drinking a little too much- can get stronger. It’s Neptune saying, “Let’s just imagine something more exciting or peaceful than the real world.”
• Confused Desires: You could fall for something (or someone) you wouldn’t usually go for, just because it seems enchanting or mysterious. Only later do you realize you were chasing a mirage.
• Feeling Invisible or Unseen: Even if you’re trying hard, people might overlook your efforts, or you might feel like you’re not getting credit for what you do.

Opportunities During This Transit

• Creative Explosion: If you work with art, music, writing, or even cooking weird recipes, Mars-Neptune is pure magic. You’ll pull ideas out of nowhere, and your imagination is on fire. Use it to create something dreamy!
• Heightened Compassion: You’re more able to put yourself in others’ shoes, which can draw you toward volunteering, caring for friends, or helping out people you might usually overlook. Acts of kindness feel more rewarding right now.
• Spiritual Drive: This is a great time to meditate, start a spiritual practice, or even try something like yoga, tai chi, or dance. Mars gives you energy to pursue Neptune’s “other world”- so go explore your inner landscape.
• Inspired Action: Sometimes, inspiration just pops in- like hitting the gym because you feel suddenly motivated or taking a spontaneous trip because your gut tells you it’s the perfect time. Trust those bursts (as long as they’re safe and not too wild).
• Strong Intuition: Your gut instincts are sharper, especially when it comes to art, music, and other people’s moods. You could have dreamy insights that help you understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.
