Mars/Neptune can manifest as unlimited actions or weakened efforts.
Neptune dissolves boundaries and in Aries this suggests the impulsive pursuit that goes on and on and on. Nothing seems impossible. You can accomplish more than you ever imagined. Your reach extends beyond what you were told was possible – this is the magician’s aspect.
The other possibility is actions that are weakened (low energy, illness, deception) or distorted by violent fantasies (anger at the illusory target, sexual urges that are detached from empathy and reality). For some, this can be the start of an addiction that’s passionate yet draining or the fanatical, spiritual war.
Much depends on your natal potential and current situation. Where will your motivations take you? In all cases, Neptune’s transpersonal influence guarantees anything that begins on a personal note will stretch to encompass a bigger issue. You’ll find yourself drifting away from the initial, highly subjective urge towards something else and this is a natural part of the process. What’s happening here is not meant to be all about you.
Obviously, you want to avoid the toxic manifestations, so keep checking in with yourself as you progress. Make sure your efforts are about elevating rather than lowering yourself or anyone else. Tap into compassion, creativity, release.
Venus in harmony with Jupiter adds more of what you love and want, but not in an excessive way. The sextile is gentle – just enough so that physical manifestations of good things, desirable things, increase in proportion to your needs.
This is a comforting influence and, when combined with Mars/Neptune, it suggests that reaching beyond the limits can help you attract situations that make you happy in realistic ways. There’s also generosity here – giving something solid from a place of empathy.
