Mars conjunct Neptune is now
These can come with strange feelings and experiences. There are important times to ease back on the thrust, coast and focus inwardly.

Dear Friend and Reader:
I’m guessing that I mentioned today’s Mars-Neptune conjunction in the most recent video. Because Thursday’s horoscope was the monthly, I didn’t specifically interpret it for the signs. But I can offer a few words; you may be feeling it.
Mars-Neptune contacts can come with strange feelings and experiences. There are important times to ease back on the thrust, coast and focus inwardly. Neptune represents the invisible, however that manifests. It’s not an easy psychic property for many people to address, as it’s given to fantasy, denial and indulgence.
It’s less easily experienced as something sublime, and motivating of creative expression — that’s just how we’re raised, and a reflection of society.
Neptune is currently considered the “outermost planet,” which the even more outermost planets are laughing at. This is pure semantics on one level, and it’s symbolic on another. The planet that’s supposed to be the boundary of the solar systsem is not vaguely capable of being any kind of defining border. (See ancient Planet Waves coverage.)
Neptune expresses as ambiguous, dreamy, fantasy-oriented, and leaving one to wonder what is real. For some, these are experiences that qualify as creative, spiritual, mystical and pleasant. For others, they qualify as paranoid, depressing or isolating.
So whichever of these describes you, or whatever blend, Mars is going to fire it up. This could be delightful; or you could feel the walls are closing in. If pleasant, ride with it, and tap in; if fearful, let the fear pass over you and through you, as the Bene Gesserit teach.
It may seem difficult to move from a state of active anxiety to one of active creativity, though that’s the task of art, and if you’re not an artist, of psychic transmutation.
Note: mood-altering substances are especially risky during Mars-Neptune contacts.
One last note — the fact that the conjunction is happening now in degree 28+ (which means the 29th degree) says that both planets are changing signs soon: Mars, this week, and much slower Neptune, next year — far sooner than anyone was expecting.
Both are on an edge; a frontier. There is nothing much to condition them, as they make no other aspects. And those very last degrees of the zodiac are rather special in their ability to blend one phase of reality into another.
All you have to do is be honest with yourself.
Here is more from the Litany Against Fear:
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
With love,
