Mars and Neptune in Pisces -The Spiritual Perspective
On April 28th, there is a conjunction that happens between Mars and Neptune in the sign of Pisces.
This energy is active from April 25th - May 5th, and is exact on April 28th.
Those born with a Natal Moon in the signs of Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces may feel this energy for most of the month of May.
Those with Solar Returns between April 25 - May 5th may feel this theme for most of their year ahead.
The conjunction of Mars and Neptune in Pisces, at its pinnacle, embodies the archetype of the spiritual warrior. This combination calls you first into a state of complete surrender, and then, from this place, into decisive action.
In this article, you will be guided to understand the spiritual significance of this conjunction and what it means to take decisive action from a place of surrender.
The higher expressions of Mars and Neptune, when together, correspond to spiritual elevation and action. This isn't just about engaging in spiritual practices, but rather about taking action from a place of deep, spiritually attuned consciousness.
Amid so much uncertainty, this level of trust demands surrender of the highest order, and then courage to take action from this place.Â
And how do you take action from surrender?
The key lies in being in the present moment.
Shift your focus away from dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, as these are the breeding grounds for anxiety. Instead, be in the present moment. Take a deep breath, one step at a time, and be very aware of what is around you at each moment. Be mindful of every step, every breath, every bite you eat, every sip of water you drink, every smell, every emotion. When you are in the present moment, you begin to notice that everything is actually speaking to you. Every email you get, every song that plays, every idea, the sudden inspirations, everything that happens in the present moment is a message that is coming through for you. By taking deliberate, mindful steps and immersing yourself fully in each present experience, you open yourself to the subtle messages that are woven into the fabric of your surroundings. Thus, every sensation, every encounter, becomes a conduit for divine guidance, if only you are attuned to receive it.
When dealing with a Mars and Neptune conjunction, the best thing you can do is surrender, be in the present moment, listen, and then take action.
This is the ultimate definition of a spiritual warrior.
Now the shadows of Mars and Neptune can be quite disorienting because, in their shadow, Mars and Neptune can repel each other. Neptune wants to dream and transcend, while Mars wants to fire up and take action. And so, in their shadow expression, Mars and Neptune conjunct in Pisces, can create a lack of motivation to take action. They can evoke feelings of confusion, aimlessness, and lead to a pervasive sense of apathy.
In truth, the inclination to give up is simply the flip side of the coin of surrender and trust. But surrender doesn't entail idly waiting for a miracle; it's about cultivating internal trust, and from this foundation, stepping forth in decisive action.Â
Another shadow of Mars and Neptune in Pisces is emotional drama of staggering proportions. Under this influence, the waters of Neptune's realm surge with intensity, while the passionate energies of Mars amplify those exasperated emotions to a fever pitch. It's imperative, then, to tread cautiously, lest you succumb to the siren song of emotional chaos and turbulence.
Again, the secret here is surrender, but remember, surrender isn't synonymous with passivity or resignation. This is about an internal state of relaxation, from which authentic action can then arise.Â
Mars and Neptune, when conjunct, have the potential to bestow upon us profound moments of ecstasy. Unlike the transient euphoria of indulgence, addictions, or escapism, which may manifest as shadows of this alignment and ultimately lead to exhaustion. Instead, this refined state of ecstasy comes from deep communion and sacred union with grace, which brings enduring, long-sustaining bliss.
This organic state of ecstasy then becomes your fuel for taking action.
We can't deny the Mars-Neptune conjunction that is happening, but we can understand the different sides of the coin, and know what is available to us. This is what makes all the difference.
It's so beautiful to feel, and listen to these energies. Thank you for the opportunity to share these thoughts with you.Â
With Love, Raquel Spring and Altair.
