Something new is about to begin with this season, but only you can decide what that is.

Eric: I agree with Len, completely, and will add that the array of personalities you included honors the extraordinary range of creativity and risks of the Mars-Neptune square without reducing them or oversimplifying the dynamics at play.
Not sure, Lem if I’m all set to go… feels like the last ten minutes of 2001 A Space Odyssey… eager? yes; excited? yes; all set……? BRAHA hah ha ha
Eric: Thank you for sorting out the components of what could be an astrological traffic jam with so many truly profound events taking place in a short amount of time in the days to come. Your synopsis of the Mars-Neptune square (illustrated by personalities who were born during the aspect) is easy to grasp and retain, forming the basis for navigating all that will follow. Of course, the best horoscopes on Earth are an excellent road map for next week in and of themselves. We are all set to go, and make the most of what’s to come, thanks to you!
It appears as if I have Neptune Square Mars in my natal chart (Neptune at 21-48 Scorpio 4th, and Mars 19-29 -exactly conjunct Pholus at 19-35- Aquarius in the 7th, BML is at 21-37; Neptune is trine Chiron at 19-02 Pisces / conjunct Saturn at 13-49 which is one point of a very activated at the moment natal T-square). As I suppose is expected in some way, my natal Mars sq Neptune was one item in my chart that was cloaked in invisibility until now. Thank you for focusing on this aspect. Your descriptions really help to explain some things I have experienced.
Interestingly, regarding the current Mars square Neptune, transiting Neptune is conjunct my natal Juno at 5-09 Pisces, and transiting Mars is conjunct natal Moon 4-14 SN 3-30 conjunction in the 5th (opposite the crazy collection in Gemini of Panacea 2-24r/ NN 3-30/ Psyche 4-41r / Nessus 4-49r/ Dionysis 5-50/ and Atlantis 7-12). But I digress, I’m wondering with Chiron involved in my natal Mars square Saturn, does this help focus me in the fog a bit? Natal Neptune is also sextile my natal Pluto / Uranus conjunction at 18-17 and 19-24 Virgo, and sextile my Sun at 26-25 Cap, so I’m assuming there is a deep healing aspect to this Mars/Neptune natal aspect with Chiron involved, perhaps a rapidly at times (Uranus) expanding consciousness and deeper understanding? How does BML impact the square? A conflict between being able to see into the shadows and letting the “Greater World” flow through? I lack confidence in knowing if my astrology interpretations are accurate. Thank you for all the help that Planet Waves gives to us astrology novices.
