Neptune at odds with natal Mars
Drive comes up short across these years and the sense of direction goes with it. Halve the volume before promising anything, postpone whatever will not fit, and stop reading the drop in speed as laziness.
In detail
Transit Neptune in challenging aspect to natal Mars holds the moving Neptune at a hard angle to the natal Mars. At about 0.36 arcminutes a day and a 3-degree orb the whole passage covers roughly three years, with a retrograde carrying the same degree past three times. Mars owns action itself: the impulse, the exertion, the push that lands a thing. Neptune dissolves boundaries, and a hard angle turns that dissolving on the outline of Mars, so direction goes first and stamina follows. Between the two faces of this pair, the soft angle reroutes the force through skill, while the tense one removes the wish to move rather than the capacity to move, which is why rest alone does not restore it.
FAQ
- Why does rest not fix the tiredness here?
- What is being drained is motivation rather than stamina. Neptune dissolves the outline of Mars so the sense of direction goes first, and sleep only refills the physical layer; direction has to come from an outside structure until the window closes.
- How should workload be planned across this passage?
- Roughly half the usual volume, with delivery points set earlier than seems necessary so there is room for the drop in speed. The whole stretch runs about three years and the retrograde gaps are not the end of it.
