Mars Square Neptune

Mars square: The razor with which the writer sharpens his style should not be used to shred cabbage. A Mars square gives planetary expressions roughness, disharmonious force that destroys its principle in all but the most subtle manifestations. This destruction occurs both in the inner and outer world, and if a person does not oppose it with something sufficiently strong, it happens. Karmically, a Mars square means a prohibition on direct, immediate energetic expression of the planetary principle (which never turns out harmonious or constructive) and a demand to work through its higher octave. At the same time, the person is internally very drawn to the spheres governed by the planet; some force pulls him there, and his opinion about his abilities (and often achievements) in these spheres can be very high, though failures and disappointments will not be long in coming. At a low level, this person can sometimes be dangerous to others in the spheres of the planet, but he himself is always in the greatest danger. In the case of a Mars square, the law of karma, which punishes for bringing disharmony into the world, acts energetically and often quite quickly (though sometimes the backlash only affects the person’s inner world, where destruction occurs in his soul, which may go unnoticed by others, except that the person’s general level sharply declines, i.e., he degenerates). In inner life, this aspect offers the possibility of significant growth, awareness of one’s crudest subconscious programs, including almost animal instincts, which in this case are represented very vividly and distinctly—especially when the planet is activated—and their transformation into a more civilized and acceptable form, i.e., a shift to energies of higher vibrations. Working through this aspect allows one to engage with the planet on lower energies while revealing such subtleties of its principle that are generally inaccessible otherwise. The person will know everything about the destructive force of the planet in its lower octave, which will give him an understanding of its manifestations in others and the ability to help them work through its principle, especially in restraining their lower nature in the relevant spheres; however, he will never fully master the free flow of its vibrations at a low level. Thus, a Mars–Venus square may produce a refined debauchee or an excellent sexologist, but this person will never become a sexual giant. Neptune square: One must have a great deal of inner honesty to recognize its lack in oneself. This is a difficult aspect. A Neptune square gives distorted meditations, often of a lower order, an inexplicable attraction to the person of the planetary principle and, at the same time, a very poor understanding of it—or rather, a false understanding, illusions, and delusions that the person finds hard to believe and even harder to let go of. Neptune deceives the person, the person deceives the whole world and himself, then sees part of this deception and stops believing—in everything, including himself, though not for long (or rather, only partially), after which he deceives himself and the world again, and the world deceives him. This can lead to an abyss, despair, vices, or, conversely, awaken a higher aspiration and call the person to God. The outcome is hard to predict, but in any case, the person should always be on guard and never consider the position taken as definitively conquered. In this case, the lower nature may feed on very dirty meditations (at the level of alcohol, drugs, family scandals, etc.), and re-educating it will not be easy. A Neptune–Saturn square may give a perverse pleasure in one’s inability to do anything, and the person may live for a long time in a cycle: a brief concentrated effort ending in nothing—a long meditation on one’s own worthlessness, with a masochistic tinge, and this cycle will likely drag in close relatives and a psychoanalytic doctor. (In general, a square of higher planets is an aspect of black teachers, in this case with a mystical and psychological bias.) Karmically, this aspect means the necessity of working through the theme of self-deception and lower meditations ("vice") on the material of the planetary principle, whose activation makes the corresponding subconscious programs very distinct. Working through this is difficult; it requires abandoning all lower meditations (including sweet self-accusations) and consistent, honest, constructive work in the areas related to the planet. Including Pluto and, to some extent, working through Saturn helps. At a high level, the person comprehends the most subtle manifestations of the planetary principle and its connection with the principle of cosmic love as it manifests in external reality and the souls of specific people, which may make him a mystic, preacher, or saint—but he will never rid himself of the irrational feeling of guilt before the world in the spheres of the planet.

Such a person possesses a wild imagination and great creative abilities, which opens up many possibilities. However, a superficial understanding of things can create difficult situations. Sometimes it seems as if such a person is half-consciously striving for dead ends and doing everything to lose the freedom they have. They are extremely vulnerable to deception and betrayal. Such people need to be careful with medications, as they are often prone to allergic reactions. Infectious diseases, food poisoning, and alcohol abuse are also dangerous for them. Such individuals are often prone to psychoneuroses, perversions, and manias. They are characterized by a morbid irascibility, a tendency toward laziness, and an unhealthy interest in the use of poisons. Such people strive to realize their fantasies in reality, but lack the energy to do so. The demagogue within them coexists with the adventurer, the slacker, and the rebel. At times, they experience strange emotional needs, dictated by the subconscious, which they are afraid to disclose to anyone, as these urges clearly clash with the established order of things. For such people, the use of hallucinogens, drugs, and promiscuity are extremely dangerous. They are characterized by heightened sexual sensitivity in their experiences, as well as a tendency toward self-deception and confusion in relationships. They must consciously curb their fantasies and purposefully control their emotions. It is very difficult for such people to find a balance between spontaneity and self-discipline. As self-discipline develops, such people develop a gift for understanding the unconscious emotional problems of those who seek their advice.

Strange emotional desires, arising from deep within the subconscious, are at odds with the existing order. This aspect can manifest itself in different ways, depending on whether the instincts are suppressed or not. If suppressed, neurosis, sexual or psychosomatic, and sometimes hallucinations are possible. If not suppressed, alcoholism, drug addiction, and debauchery are possible. Sometimes, senseless actions, confusion, or following hidden motives are possible. With adverse aspects throughout the horoscope, betrayal, deception, and dishonor are possible. Sexual anomalies can sometimes be used positively in the visual arts, where imagination is needed. A tendency toward self-deception is present, as the motives for one's actions are often not recognized. In relationships, confusion, bewilderment, embarrassment, and disgrace are possible. One must learn to curb one's imagination, which inflames desires, leading to difficulties. Neptune's abilities can be harnessed in astrology, as can psychology, which requires spiritual strength to understand the unconscious emotional problems of others. Control over emotions is essential.

Your child is emotional, has a wild imagination and great creative abilities. He has a subtle nature and can be difficult to understand. Sometimes he feels confused, embarrassed, or may do stupid things. He can identify with those who are suffering. However, the ability to realistically evaluate other people is poorly developed in him, and the child may be deceived or experience disappointment in his ideal. Parents should teach their child to help himself and control feelings such as despair. Control of emotions is important. The child may react poorly to medications (especially drugs) and is prone to poisoning and infectious diseases.

Obsession, fanaticism, psychological blindness. The person acts based on idealistic or subjective assumptions, detached from reality; inability or unwillingness to consider circumstances. Manic states, neuroses; obsessive-compulsive disorder; tendency to deceive or self-deceive; danger of being robbed or a tendency to appropriate someone else's property, sometimes kleptomania. Such people are susceptible to the evil eye. Positive side: often high spiritual aspirations, self-sacrifice; religiosity, usually Orthodoxy. Aspect of self-sacrifice.

You hate a lack of clarity, especially when it comes to your feelings and emotions. This is a less than ideal world as far as you are concerned, and you are for making the best of it. Whatever dreams and ideals you may have had are somehow shut off from the day-to-day realities you face. You would rather ignore your dreams than be tortured by their remoteness. You are suspicious of pie-in-the-sky and have an abnormal fear of being deceived, in particular in matters of love and feelings. A sign of emotional tension.

Strange emotional desires rising from the depths of the subconscious and not fitting into the existing order. If they are suppressed, nervousness and hallucinations are possible. If not, then alcoholism, drug addiction. With very bad aspects - infidelity, deception, dishonor. Sexual anomalies, sometimes finding an outlet in visual art. Tendency to self-deception, as the motivations of one's own actions are often not recognized. In relationships with people - confusion, misunderstandings.
