Transit Neptune Square Natal Mars
Fire in fog
Neptune square Mars feels like momentum meeting mist. Desire is alive, but the target blurs; what once felt obvious becomes strangely soft around the edges. This transit asks for a kinder will—one that tests its stories, serves what’s true, and moves with sensitivity rather than force.

Here, the heat of Mars moves through Neptune’s waters, and the flame changes shape. You may feel ready to act yet unsure where to aim, or animated by a cause that dissolves upon contact with reality. Anger can get dreamy and diffuse, turning into fatigue or covert resentment; the push to do something wrestles with a yearning to surrender. Motivation becomes more porous, infused with images, ideals, and longing—beautiful, but unreliable if taken at face value.
If you slow the rush to prove or fix, a different strength emerges. This is a time to listen beneath your impulse: What does the anger want to protect? What is the desire trying to heal? When action becomes devotion rather than performance, force gives way to precision. Fact-check your inspirations and let small, honest steps test the vision; what survives contact with truth becomes your next right move.
Life Areas & Expression
Relationships & Connection
Misunderstandings are more likely when motives go unnamed and feelings speak in metaphor rather than words. Boundaries soften; the urge to rescue or be rescued can replace direct requests—clarity helps love stay clean.
Work & Purpose
Goals can blur as glamorous opportunities beckon without substance, or projects drift without anchor. Ethical fog is possible; steady your pace with reality checks and let results, not projection, define direction.
Creativity & Expression
Inspiration swells, images flood, and discipline may waver. Treat the studio like a tide pool—gather what's washing in, then refine later with patient craft.

Let your will breathe. Move in smaller arcs, testing each step against reality and your body’s felt sense of yes. Disappointment isn’t failure here; it’s the salt that clears illusion from intention, leaving a truer ember to tend.
Choose clean fuel: compassion, truth, and consent. When you’re unsure, be gentle and specific—name what you know, what you don’t, and what you’re willing to try. This is how fire learns to glow steadily in the mist.
I move gently until the path becomes real.
