When Neptune transits your natal Mars, it’s not a time to advance your own interests or desires. Your ego surrenders to higher purposes. It’s difficult to succeed and establish your individuality without considering the needs and perspectives of others. You don’t feel very competitive or inclined to start new challenging projects.
It’s a good time for sharing with others, achieving spiritual goals, and performing great humanitarian acts. During these transits, you should continually question if your actions align with the realistic goals you want to achieve.
The challenging Neptune-Mars transits increase the likelihood of dishonesty and secrecy. There may also be a crisis of self-confidence, accompanied by uncertainty when trying to turn wishes into action. Defeatist tendencies or feelings of hopelessness can arise, along with weakened physical health. Fatigue, lack of energy, and countless exhausting or sacrificial efforts can occur. Therefore, taking care of your health is crucial.

Neptune is opposing my natal Mars in Virgo in my 3rd house. I feel exhausted and have to force myself to do normal activities around the house. I am enthusiastic about making plans initially but when it comes around to doing it I just don’t have the energy or desire. I am very anxious about the upcoming election and depressed about the state of our country especially with Covid19 spiking. I should mention that transiting Neptune is forming a mutable Grand Cross in my chart, opposing Mars and squaring Jupiter in Sag and Uranus in Gemini which makes for very trying times. I’m usually an upbeat person but this is a drag. Of course all those transiting Capricorn planets are close to my 29 degree Capricorn 7th house cusp too. Sorry to be rambling. I could go on and on about astrology.

Hi, I have transit neptune opposite my natal mars in virgo 6th house. I feel you! Today I woke up with such a funk, and wanted to just stay in bed, but the farm still needs to be attended to, ya know? I feel an overwhelming depression at the state of the world, too. Know that you are not alone, and this too shall pass.

Neptune is just beginning to form a trine to my natal Mars and I have to agree with the above diagnosis. My previously competitive instincts are being sublimated by working in co-operation with others, particularly in artistic endeavors. Also I am starting to interact with my two grand-daughters and understanding my role in helping them to relate to the world. I am also learning from them.
I wish that I knew the answers
Hello: I have transiting Neptune, soon to go into Aries, conjunct my natal Mars in Aries in the 9th house of higher learning, foreign affairs, and religion. After getting the sh*t kicked out of me and deceived with transiting Neptune opposite natal Sun and Mercury, what further acts of defamation can I possibly endure and what is the lesson to learn, when most everyone are liars and or conartists. This includes my pastor and other business partners. Regarding my career, my two non profit groups are doing okay, but they have been in a shambles and I have been underachieving for years, in spite of world class credentials, three Master’s degrees and killer job experience. If you want a really f*cked up life, try transiting Neptune conjunct natal Mars, by transit, and see how horrible your life will go for you. Just saying!

Sounds like you will be a spiritual warrior taking action on your 9th house ideals once Neptune crosses your Mars. Aries mars doesn’t sit around! Neptune in Aries spiritualizes warfare, asking us to, once again, take action, walk our walk. I wish you the best of luck! I’m an early degree Aries ascendant, so I already know I will be fighting for my specific cause. I don’t like the idea of war, but this era forces us to stand up and fight for what we believe is right. ❤

Thanks. I am one of the highest ranked martial arts instructors in the country, a 7th Dan I.T.F. Taekwon-Do, 7th Dan Hapkido, and 5th Dan Korean weapons (Mukido). I have an Aries Midheaven and Mars, (career marker) is also in Aries. This can be a sign of greatness in the martial arts ? Both Saturn and Neptune will transit my natal Mars at some point. As Yogi Berra (Hall of Famer) once said, “it ain’t over ’till its over ?”

I have met a number of Sun in Aries and Aries rising persons over the years. I get along with them, in spjte of the act that they tend to be very independant, rebellious, but also, bossy and arrogant ?
I do relate, well, to Aries, as they are kind of like me.

Perhaps your Mars in Aries encourages the Aries energy in others when interacting with them. Yes, Aries is known for a selfish attitude. We set an example of self by focusing on ourselves and our needs and not letting others push us around, thus being assertive versus meek, or bossy and arrogant when the ego isn’t healthy. Remember, every energy can be utilized at a higher level or lower level. For example, a higher level manifestation would be mastery of the self identity and assertive control of conflict such as in the martial arts you practice. A lower energy, less evolved Aries archetype is the brash, uncontrolled and compulsive warlike personality you may have experienced. I respect your craft and you set an excellent example with your Mars and Midheaven in Aries as a higher evolved type that can harness the Aries warrior energy for mastery of the self. What a great time for you to be alive and inspire and lead others!❤

Also, Aries does* respect authority, but first the authority must be someone they respect. I think you can resonate this with your craft. Aries will put pressure on and rebel against bad leadership, hence the rebellious attitude. True warriors I suppose!
