Mars square Neptune: Momentum and desire push each other at the same right angle

3 min read

To be fast and to be right often shout at you at the same time. That is Mars square Neptune. Put the momentum of Mars and the desire of Neptune at a right angle. Both sides want it, and one side will idle first.

Indicative chart: Mars and Neptune form a square, the aspect line expands into a right angle, and the action and desire push each other on both sides of the angle.Schematic, not a real chart

The core of Mars square Neptune: one sentence version

square is 90 degrees of continuous friction: your moves are always mixed with the noise of desire, and your desires are always urged by the actual progress. The square doesn’t provide balance, it provides foot strength - the more times it is worn, the more you know the bottom line of each side.

What each planet wants

Mars wants speed, results, and the courage to bring dissatisfaction to the table; Neptune wants meaning, compassion, and the dissolution of boundaries, and it doesn’t speak from the same calendar as you. Under the right angle, you often feel that things are empty when you are halfway through, and you are reluctant to put in the effort when you stop. The two needs are stirred in turn.

The feeling of hard aspect: three specific scenes

  1. The schedule was very full, but in the middle of the game, he suddenly asked himself “What on earth are you doing?” and the power was cut off on the spot for half a day.
  2. The performance in practice or competition fluctuates, and the state is closely related to whether or not you have performed that version well in your mind.
  3. What I shouted when I was angry was inconsistent with my inner understanding. Looking back the next night, both sides felt that they had gone too far.

Immature and mature expressions

The immature version interprets friction as its own problem: sometimes it forces itself to go faster, and sometimes it feels that the environment is unkind, and both parties take turns to internal friction. The mature version of the right-angle assembly method - spend an extra ten minutes before starting to write down your wishes into executable specifications at the moment; when new wishes emerge, move to the next grid instead of going back and overturning everything that has been completed.

Orb and priority: 90 degrees, natal convention within 6 degrees

The natal square orb is 6 degrees, and the actual angle error is within 6 degrees. Square is the dominant aspect, and the interpretation is in the first round. First, confirm the life scenes in which this set of tension appears repeatedly; square does not represent bad luck, tension is its fuel.
