When Mars and Neptune form a trine in the sky, we all become a bit more sophisticated in our interactions, creative with our projects, and passionate about our ideals. The next two weeks are an excellent time to work on something you are truly passionate about. Even if you don’t have creative plans set in motion, you’ll likely feel more motivated about life and work in general.
Here’s how this harmonious combination of Mars and Neptune works. You might notice all these delineation are positive, that is because trine brings harmony between planets:
- Our confidence (Mars) flows (Neptune) more easily.
- We know how to assert (Mars) our ideals (Neptune).
- We gain the courage (Mars) to express our creativity.
- And it works the other way around—our creativity (Neptune) gains the courage (Mars) to come out.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to persuade someone to see your side, now is the time. However, be mindful that others may be trying to persuade you too—so keep your discernment sharp.
Mars trine Neptune is an incredibly auspicious aspect. However, we must consider the unique conditions of this transit. Mars is currently in Cancer, the sign of its fall, and it’s in retrograde motion. The usual ease and flow associated with this aspect might require extra effort to access. Since Mars is retrograde and in a water sign, it’s a good time to follow your intuition more than usual. Pay attention to what feels good, even if it doesn’t seem logical, and focus on revisiting projects you’ve already started.

Tap Into the Collective Unconscious
Looking at prominent people with this aspect in their natal chart, we see many renowned actors, such as Daniel Day-Lewis, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, Halle Berry, Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, Michelle Pfeiffer, Keira Knightley, Colin Farrell, Juliette Binoche, Paul Newman, Eddie Murphy, Cary Grant, Judy Garland, Rita Hayworth, Helen Mirren, and Josh Brolin.
This makes sense because to be a great actor, you have to be familiar with the collective unconscious (Neptune); it isn’t just enough to act (Mars). The two have to come together. Imagine throwing a person who always has to move, conquer, or start new ventures into an ocean made out of all possibilities ever. That is what Mars in combination with Neptune does. It instills a desire (Mars) to conquer every possibility (Neptune). For that reason, we also see a lot of musicians with this aspect, together with people of many talents.
This aspect also enhances your curiosity and receptiveness to the unknown and spiritual. Do you want to write a fantasy book? Now is the time. Or maybe you have to talk to someone who you consider a bit "wacky"? Now is a good time for that as well.
Where Are Your Ideals?
