Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces
First of three squares on Tuesday, October 11, with the second two following on November 19, 2022 while Mars in Gemini is retrograde, and on March 14, 2023, after Mars stations direct.
Hello Cosmic Friends,
I’m back with the strength of Moon in Taurus to breakdown what’s happening with Mars and Neptune and explain how it’s a part of what what you’ve already been experiencing.
Mars at 23° Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces for the first of three aspects today, October 11/12, at 10:47pm PDT/1:47am EDT/6:47am GMT.
This aspect reveals what happens when the somewhat nervous force of verbal Gemini meets with the uncertain visions of Neptune in Pisces.
Mars is brave and forceful by nature. In Gemini, it’s clever and spontaneous.
Mars in Gemini is also a position of war. The last time Mars was in Gemini as long as it will be these next months, was in the middle of WWII.
At a square angle, it’s challenged to integrate with the dreamy, otherworldly Neptune in Pisces.
In its best expression, this tension creates the power to fight for a worthy cause, with the right words to adequately communicate with the clarity needed.
It’s also an angle of loss, scandal, intrigue and blame. This is an aspect of mass delusion.
And you’ve seen this already.
Elon Musk has this aspect in his natal chart. As a business magnate, he’s known for his aerospace vision, electric car, and AI research.
But he’s also known for his unscientific and controversial statements.
He’s spread misinformation about COVID-19, and promoted questionable perspectives about politics and various technologies, while he’s been sued for racism against his Black employees.
The United States was also formed with this aspect, with Mars at 21° Gemini square Neptune at 22° Virgo.
The Islamic Republic of Iran also has this same square, with Mars at 25° Pisces square Neptune at 20° Sagittarius.
You can start to see the character of assertive Mars in conflict with Neptune confusion.
It’s not an aspect of trust.
Due to perceived weakness, misinformation becomes a pattern to gain strength and revenge.
This is an aspect of sudden decisions (Mars in Gemini) without considering all the facts (Neptune in Pisces).
Individually, you may do something you regret, and wonder what the heck you were thinking.
As a general influence, there will be many misinformed actions.
With the U.S. and Iran, and their planetary positions being between 20° - 25°, they create a grand mutable cross with each other that will be aggravated by this transit.
A mutable cross is formed by two 180° oppositions that create 90° angles. When one point of the cross is activated, all points are activated.
In mutable signs, this creates mental tension.
Nervousness. Restlessness. Indecision. There’s a great need for rational process with all the abstract concepts that are stimulated.
Vladimir Putin has a natal Neptune at 23° Libra in an exact trine with the current Mars at 23° Gemini, which increases his idealistic fixation on Russia’s past and future greatness, especially as he feels the end of his legacy.
This transiting Mars at 23° Gemini is also in a polarizing opposition with Putin’s natal Mars at 26° Sagittarius.
Putin’s Mars in Sagittarius is right on top of Donald Trump’s Moon and opposite Trump’s Sun in Gemini, which is also conjunct the U.S. Mars.
The current transit could activate the U.S. Mars in Gemini into warlike action while Iran and Putin continue to recognize the U.S. as an enemy.
Again, I’ll say how different-sided rational perspectives are especially important right now.
Both Russia and Iran (and others) have good reason to resent the U.S., based on past experiences.
The United States, with its massive consumption, questionable democracy, that’s been powered by oil barons, and a military industry that tries to enforce human rights around the world, while it’s committed atrocities itself, and come to power through human trafficking and investments connected to African slave labor, while it also benefited from the ravages of Colonialism and Imperialism.
Putin is experiencing this transit of Neptune in Pisces squaring his Mars in Sagittarius, just as the U.S. is, while Iran experiences Neptune in conjunction with its Mars in Pisces.
Clarity is in short supply.
Oil is Neptune. Water is Neptune. Poison is Neptune. Space is Neptune. Espionage is Neptune. Sedition is Neptune. Drama is Neptune.
With the following two squares of Mars and Neptune taking place on November 19, 2022, when Mars is retrograde, and on March 14, 2023, after it stations direct, something is developing now around the actions of the U.S. to secure oil or otherwise increase strength through its weapon sales.
However, when Mars is retrograde from October 30 to January 12, whoever is the first aggressor, will be the loser.
Obviously, world peace is in everyone’s interest.
With so many impassioned perspectives that ignore history and play with the delicate overstimulated minds of the masses, it’s important to call up the best of Neptune to maintain a multidimensional perspective.
Neptune is yoga, and the use of breath control, simple meditation, and specific postures you can benefit your health and ability to relax. Yoga will help your energy and encourage you in this confusing time.
Neptune is positive visualization. Neptune represents talismans and tattoos that remind you of what’s important.
Neptune is art in all forms. Beauty heals.
Neptune is realization and self-awareness. Neptune is community. Neptune is political movement.
Order in life comes from understanding what is creating the chaos.
Consider your own contradictions, your opposing desires, and how you may say one thing, and do something else.
