So today’s Full Moon Eclipse is the big news but don’t forget tomorrow’s Mars Neptune sextile.
What is Mars? Mars is where you put your effort. What drives you. Your Passion, aggression, desire, violence. What makes you mad. What turns you on.
Neptune is a dreamy and vague energy, the ideal, the idea, illusion, vast, gentle. Also art, music, Venus (love) at her most universal and cosmic.
Where Mars is clear, Neptune confuses. Where Mars knows exactly where the line is and makes the cut? Neptune flows this way and that, a stream and then a river.
I’m talking about energy here, ideals. Mars will express itself differently depending on the sign. Neptune moves slowly, so we look more to the house and the aspects it makes (when reading a chart).
When we put these two together we can get… spiritual (Neptune) strength (Mars).
Or the courage (Mars) to finish writing that play (Neptune). Our imaginations (Neptune) are POWERFUL (Mars) under this aspect. We can use that Mars oomph to dream, which is always the first step. Mind is the builder (said Edgar Cayce). Throw a little Saturn in there and a star is born.
It doesn’t feel like a “finishing touches” day to me, but part of the process. Continue, continue, continue.
You may be exhausted from today’s Scorpio energy. Or maybe you are in your element.
One thing is for sure though: you must resist (what potentially can drag you down) and persist. We have TOO much energy in Taurus to give up now. Taurus may be slow moving (that’s what they say) but the bull is damn DAMN determined.
That’s why Taurus is such a scary sign actually 😉 because they are so sound and solid, if a Taurus chooses the *wrong* path, they will likely stay on the path for… a very long time!
Choose wisely my friends 🙂
Love, MP

Feeling this now! Well, I’m feeling both neptune as well as my mars-pluto square. Moon and saturn on my pluto is digging up all my repressed dirt from my broken idealism. Hopefully mars in taurus can lead me safely to my next destination. An hour ago I was saying “I’m tired of the illusion of control -as in positive thinking, protest behaviors, etc (my 3rd house). I need to actually control my actions.” Illuminate my path dear Moon!
Addendum: I need a complete willingness to give up all illusions and dive into pure reality along with whatever it entails. Tbh I’m not quite in love with reality (saturn) yet. In comparisson, at least illusions are warm and have cable. That’s kinda hard to give up…
Charlotte, I’m a big fan of reality 🙂
Yeah. The key to living my dreams is accepting reality. I think my survival (Pluto) depended on avoiding reality by thinking it better or finding some way to escape it altogether (3rd house/ Neptune opp Merc rx). Saturn crossing my Pluto must be telling me to let go of this structure to build something better and become stronger.
I’m so thankful for that eclipse shining some light on this for me. It’s not the work I’m afraid of so much as working and having to show for it. I’ve been there so many times. And it’s not simply that I’m stuck at home so much as I’m afraid this is the best I can do. Deep seated fears. Even if I hate it, moon in 4th house (opp chiron) doesn’t want to leave security for uncertainty (and possible further isolation and pain).
So far the only remedy I can come up with is trust and Faith that I’m not working alone. And letting go of judgments concerning what I SHOULD do, or or have done. I’m not supposed to have an answer yet. I have more core work to do over the next few months.
Mars is Taurus will slow us down
