Transit Neptune Sextile Mars: Willpower Guided by Inspiration

Transit Neptune sextile Mars is a period when imagination and drive cooperate quietly. Neptune forms a 60-degree angle to natal Mars; energy loses its harshness without scattering, and the person finds genuine pleasure in working for something they believe in.

What does transit Neptune sextile Mars bring?

A sextile opens a door and leaves the walking through it to the person. Joining a volunteer effort, giving time and body to an artistic project, acting on intuition and catching the right moment all come more easily. Cooperation pays off better than competition. Because of Neptune's retrogrades the aspect is usually exact three times and the influence stretches over one to two years; as it approaches, openings become visible, and as it separates, the new skill settles in.

Small steps, steady flow

The possible scenes vary. Someone may bond for the first time with a fluid kind of exercise such as dance or swimming. They may take on the organizing side of a charity campaign, or get noticed at work for a visual or imaginative presentation. A gentler, less combative intimacy with a partner can open up. With money, hunches may point the right way, but the paperwork still needs reading. The relationship with the body becomes subtler too: power may come more from breath, rhythm and flexibility than from punishing workouts.

Not letting the chance slip

Left to itself, a sextile passes without a trace. Choosing one intention and giving it a regular hour every week is enough; small, steady effort is the real key to this aspect. The houses Mars rules in the birth chart, wherever Aries and traditionally Scorpio fall, share in this inspiration.
