The mechanics
What's happening
Neptune square your Mars
Neptune dissolves whatever it touches: it softens, blurs, idealizes and lets go. It brings imagination, compassion and longing, and the fog in which it is hard to see what is real. Your Mars is your drive: how you want, act, fight, and go after what you need.
A square puts the transiting planet ninety degrees from your natal point: the two drives cross at right angles, and the friction forces a change. Squares are the transits that make things happen, usually through a problem. Here the transiting Neptune makes a square to your natal Mars, so Neptune's drive meets your Mars at that angle. Neptune runs a 165-year cycle, so each angle to this point happens once, if at all.
The tell
What it feels like
- You work hard and nothing lands.
- Deception, scandal or sabotage around action.
- Energy leaks; the body is tired or sensitive.

How long it lasts
Brace, or build?
Neptune takes about fourteen years per sign, so a transit to one point lasts about two years across up to five passes. It is felt as a slow season rather than an event: a year of fog, a year of clearing.

What to do with it
Somewhere to go
Aim small and verify everything. Do not fight in the fog. The square passes, and effort made under it with integrity holds.
