My husband and I were talking last night about a gal attacking (Mars) others (opposition) but only hurting herself (Neptune / self undoing). This kind of thing makes me very nervous for some reason. It may be that I don’t like to be around people whose judgement is so off.  I know a few people who do this. ::shiver::

Do you know anyone, standing in a hole, angry and digging it deeper?

More on Mars opposite Neptune.

Mars in Leo opposes Neptune in Aquarius on November 6th, 2011.  This is a tricky one and so potent, I already see it in play, big time.

You’ll see people fight (Mars) by deceiving (Neptune). We often talk about “gaslighting” on this blog (tag) and that is one form of this.  I’m talking about being tricked into your own self-doing or even tricking yourself into sacrifice which damages you. This is an aspect of a martyr. It’s confused (Neptune) action (Mars). It’s a drunk firing at the wrong person for the wrong reason, while trying to help.   Well, gee. Thanks.

Neptune in Pisces will square Mars in Gemini on June 21, 2011 and it will be interesting to say the least.  There are endless ways we’ll see this manifest but here some juicy ones:

- Lying or deceit in order to get ahead
- Sexual fantasy
- Gaslighting and mind tricks as a tactic
- Sneak attacks of all kinds
- Misrepresenting your motive (to yourself or others)
- Self-undoing and other crazy-making
- Pretending you’re a victim and more!

Great stuff, eh?  Let the good times roll!

Mars is conjunct Neptune today and if you have planets in the fixed signs around 24 degrees Aquarius, you are sure to be feeling this big time.

Mars is your get up and go, and Neptune will dissipate your drive. In other cases, there are sneak attacks and in still other cases, the attacks are imagined. The opportunity to undo yourself today is sky high and the odds you become stimulated by something that isn’t even there (for good or ill) is almost guaranteed.

Dear Aquarian,

No you don’t suck but I think your problem is complex and beyond what can be resolved in this format.  But I can give you a few tips to which others may relate.

Regardless of its nature, when you have a pattern this well established it’s a safe bet you are going to have to work very hard to change it. It’s as if you have cut a path and you can be sure to fall right into it every time… if a struggle for consciousness is not made. As to the specifics of what is driving all this, I can see a couple components right off the bat.

First you have Venus in Capricorn, which gives an innate feeling of unworthiness as well as both a fear of failure AND success. This is probably subconscious to a degree but you can see it play out in that you make sure one way or the other that you do not hold that top position.

Now you also have Mars in aspect to Neptune, which tends to dissolve the drive when a person does not act consciously.  For example, your music did not arrive on schedule, but why not go hunt it down?

If you can focus on and resolve just these two things, you would be well on your way to solving your problem and I can also tell you that that victim position will never, ever, ever  work.  In other words, your “close but no cigar” pattern is not due an oppressive force outside yourself.

I hope this does not strike you as harsh or critical because it is not meant that way.  Personally, I would like to see you in the first chair and I am pretty sure this is the path to take to get there.

Good luck.

It’s occurred to me with Mars (anger) opposing Neptune (fog) like this, people may very well be mad and not know it. Or maybe they do know they are mad but they are not sure who they should be mad and even if they are able to fix on a person, it’s likely the anger will dissipate. Blink and you transcend.

You may also be hiding (Neptune) from someone else’s angry attack (Mars) which of course would piss you off!

I was on the phone with Claire-France and she mentioned the war in Iraq is not being reported at all.

“Mars Neptune,” I said. “What war? Hide the war!”

Are you pissed off today? Describe your anger.

The current opposition between Mars and Neptune hits my chart pretty good, creating confusion, craziness, the questioning of other peoples motives as well as my own… plus wondering if others question my motives, all in the hall of mirrors.

“I am no longer concerned about people thinking I am crazy,” I told the soldier this morning.

“Oh, good. I’m glad to hear that.”

“Yeah, I am back in denial about all that kind of stuff,” I said.

‘Oh, thank the Lord. I was afraid that might be a week-long event.”

I snorted.

The opposition is exact today.

Anyone else having Neptune problems? Can’t tell if it’s real or otherwise?

Dear Leo,

Reading your post was surreal. Of course he is playing games and entertaining himself! But what do you think you’re doing? You’re playing games and entertaining yourself! You are playing the kind of games where people wind up hurt and do you expect us to believe you don’t know this?

You may as well be someone who slaps their kid 100 times and then wonders why their face is bruised. Cause and affect for Godsakes. If you pour gas on yourself and walk into a fire, you will be burned. And once you’ve done this you are not going to be able to say, hey wait a minute! New game. I want to be an unburned maiden now.

With Jupiter conjunct your Sun in Leo, you have an inflated ego. You also like to play. You have Mars in Scorpio conjunct Neptune… you love to seduce and sneak around but jeez man. Stop with the complaining when the bill comes due.

You have Venus conjunct Pluto in Virgo as well. Virgo the maiden spoiled by the nasty Scorpio. Come on now. You set this whole thing up. You are no more his pawn than he is yours and if you don’t like the game, then quit playing it.

Good luck.
