EYE ON THE SKY: MARS/NEPTUNEÂ DEC. 30-JAN. 3RD
MARS CONJUNCT NEPTUNE ON JAN. 1ST REVISIT
I wrote about this transit a week early but was feeling it strongly today so I decided to reprint this part as the impact is more relevant the next few days:
On Jan. 1st as we go into the New Year, we have Mars approaching conjunction with Neptune with the two degree influence being felt Dec. 29-Jan. 3rd. This transit is also happening very close to Ketu and we have written about Ketu/Neptune already. (See: https://www.appliedvedicastrology.com/astrological-weather-forecast-nov-13-23rd-irrational-fears-social-fantasies/ )      Mars/Neptune conjunctions can bring up strange and irritable feelings and create unconscious anxieties and discouragement. You may find yourself in a self-deprecating space. This could lead to delusional fantasies or listening and acting from a space that is not grounded.  It is not a time to begin anything new because there is a fog or delusion around what is real and what will be successful.
Positives to look forward to include more energy and enthusiasm to chase your dreams and spiritual goals. Negatives to watch out for include a tendency to over idealize partners and leave yourself open to deception and scandal. Keep yourself grounded in the real world as much as possible. Your desire to help others can easily be taken advantage of. Being extra sensitive you should avoid negative environments where violence, crime and drugs are prevalent. Your body is more susceptible to poisons, drugs, alcohol, medication and infection. So pass on that New Years eve party with people who you do not know in that questionable part of town.
Use this transit to do selfless service and charity work or spiritual or religious group to help others. Avoid abusing your body with too much activity as this may lead to exhaustion. Infections and fevers are possible and the energy may be quite intense so avoid escaping into a New Years alcoholic binge that may temporary lead to escape but lead to deeper complexity. This transit will affect you most if you are Scorpio or Aries rising or Aquarius or Leo rising or if you have key planets like the Sun, Moon or the ascendent at 13-15 degrees Aquarius or Leo.
I have learned a lot from Western astrologers and I do not think we can dismiss the outer planets particularly if they are hitting a key spot in your chart or impacting the lord of your chart. Observe what is happening in your life with Jupiter and Mars this week and see how the world is impacted.
