Mars trine Neptune 8:45 PM Pacific @ 29°43’ Scorpio / Pisces
Mars trine Neptune
“What are we Escaping”
Monday November 3rd has the potential to drive us up a wall. The energy is coming from a deep place within the body and driving us out into the ethereal realms of Neptune. This is an upward energy that is ungrounding. This is part of the ongoing Grand Water Trine. It is a necessary energy that allows us to ‘get it out’. While it may be challenging to stabilize, the energy is there to do so.
Today, Monday the 3rd, we can get a hold of where we are and where we want to go. Perhaps you feel that you just don’t wanna do things. So you may need to give yourself a break before you can get in touch with the deeper processes.
Note the balance between restlessness, recklessness and disciplined self care. Mars wants to finish some things but probably won’t be able to. At the end of Scorpio, Mars has invested deeply into some causes, goals, projects and desires. The trine to Neptune diffuses the energy as it tries to seek a goal. The problem is that Mars is doing the work and the work is deeply emotional. Stemming from issues that came up long ago. Mars can help us get the energy out, but it isn’t likely to be solution oriented. Do we need solutions to emotional turmoil?? Who knows? Emotions and personal growth are up to the beholder.
There is a bit of a let down involved here. Like the end of a really intense date. It could be good, bad or neutral. However it looked, we aren’t really in as much control as we would like. Socially and relationally, this can be a little deflating or more likely frustrating. Anger is not an uncommon response to the circumstance, but it won’t really get you anywhere. Ironically, this let down is likely exactly what you needed. Maybe you have an expectation of being hurt, lied to, or abandoned. The ‘let down’ can be that you don’t get that expectation.
Neptune will ensure that what you put out will come back to you. The timeline for this is variable and also the return is on the spiritual plane. Your actions, intentions and thoughts will make their way to the creatrix. At some point you will receive your order. While energy, words and actions may flow freely right now, consider ramifications in all you do.
Personal growth is here for the taking. We can make inroads on our deepest of patterns. What is your relationship to money, relating, family, food, exercise? Deep energy investment over the last 40+ days has exposed us core motivating factors. As Mars transitions to Sagittarius, there is a lightening that must occur. Prior to this (on the evening of Monday November 3rd) many of our investments and efforts come to fruition. Remember that part of success and growth is letting go. When something doesn’t work out, it is making room for something better. Our fears are also investments, and it is quite lovely when they don’t fruit.
How have you been investing in yourself? Has there been a concerted effort towards a goal? Have you been meditating more often? Eating better? Shifting personal narratives? If you have, the fruits of your labor are now ripe for the picking. Within a few days, (evening of November 4th) we will feel excited for the next part of the adventure.
There is incredible depth of experience. Feel the love available. Stay focused and don’t be distracted from your goals. Recognize what you have done. Give yourself credit. Leave others to take care of themselves for the day. Dive into the richness of your life.
What do you have to be grateful for? Energy is what you make of it. Complaining is a pattern that reminds the mind to hold a negative frame of reference. When assessing your challenges and frustrations, focus on how things can be improved. Recognize when things aren’t up to your standards. From there, do everything within your power to get them there. Don’t get bogged down in feelings of lack or self pity. This is like taking a wrong turn. At some point, you will get back to empowerment and feeling good. The more negative and down we get, the further we’ll have to retrace our steps.
What can you let go of? Hand it over to the universe. Hand it over to God. This heightened spiritual time has us connected to the universal flow. Some messages we don’t want to hear. That is okay, just know that spirit is here to support you.
The body desires things. The desire is the fuel to go and create. If luxury is too easy to come by, we will lack a necessary feeling as a human being. Be grateful for the hard work and how it enriches your life. That feeling is attainment and creation. Everyone on the planets seeks to use their gifts to express their connection to spirit. When we lack a creative output, we simmer dismally. Creation and expression are affirmations of self worth. If we don’t feel worthy of creating, we create a mess. Drug abuse is a prime example of this. Using a substance to change the chemistry of your body can be an amazing tool. Intentionally and in moderation, exogenous chemicals can be a life saver. This, in fact, is a form of creation.
Excessive and habitual use of substances fosters chaos around us. As humans, we have created the world in which we exist. In these circumstances, the desire to ‘use’ is a desire to sabotage. The cozy feeling of cleaning up a familiar mess. With Mars and Neptune involved, I think of alcohol. We drink and feel good, but that doesn’t last. The next day, we deal with the hangover. When we repeat this cycle, it may feel like we are escaping and just ‘having a good time’. What we are really creating is problems down the line. If this is a conscious choice, it’s just another choice, you know what you are getting into. The problems come in when we are trying to escape ourselves. Delusion steps in… ‘I won’t drink that much’ etc.
The part we are trying to escape gets more desperate, until the point when we have physical, emotional and mental symptoms and turmoil.
This can be done with any habit. We can exercise too much and have overuse injuries or a scattered mind. The important point for this time is this… You will not escape yourself, only end up more deeply embedded in what you seek to avoid. Face things first, before they come for you. If you seek to handle long standing issues, be consistent in your presence with them. Exchange personal awareness as your daily habit, as opposed to escape.
Journal with Yourself
For a measured approach…
write down your concerns in the morning
journal on how they affect you
read through what you’ve written
write one way in which you will take control of this issue
This could be as simple as…
spend 5 minutes in the morning breathing while feeling how the issue affects you
OR
You could also go as far as actions steps, and take one per day.
Consistency will override your minds natural patterns. Whatever you choose to do regularly, that is what builds your life.
Mars enters Sagittarius 6 AM Pacific ((November 4th – December 15th))
Mars opposite Uranus 10:34 AM Pacific @ 0°8’ Sagittarius / Gemini
Tuesday November 4th
Mars enters Sagittarius opposite Uranus
“Unpredictable Energies”
Mars is making its way out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius. As this occurs, Mars makes a contentious and exciting opposition to Uranus in Gemini. Uranus will be retrograding back into the sign of Taurus on November 7th.
Uranus back in Taurus –> November 7th 2025
Direct @ 27°27′ Taurus –> February 5th 2026
Uranus ingress Gemini –> April 25th 2026
The Sagittarius and Gemini axis is the most energized of all astrological polarities. In my work with clients, angle or planets on early degrees or aspect within these signs create dynamism. These individuals display incredible amounts of energy. How they use it is up to them. But one thing is for certain, they have it to make use of.
As Mars enters this sign of Sagittarius expect a rush of energy to the body from spirit. Big dreams feel more possible while the details on how to achieve them aren’t really there. That could be a boon to growth, as we often get bogged down in the ‘how’ and refuse to chase our desires.
However this is no normal ingress. Within 5 hours of entering the mutable fire sign, Mars finds an exact opposition to Uranus. This aspect is already building and has been since November began. As I write this, the energy is being dispersed by a dreamy trine to Neptune. The connection between Mars and Uranus is still highly active.
As of Tuesday morning and early afternoon on the east coast of the United States, there is a frenzied pace to the energy. The full moon is just around the corner ((exact Wednesday November 5th @ 6:20 AM Pacific)) adding a building energy to the ether. By the time this opposition to Uranus occurs ((10:34 AM Pacific)), the moon will have moved into the sign (Taurus) of its fullness. This only works to ground more energy throughout our bodies. Again, this day is electric.
If you have an adventure or excursion planned, this can be very fun. I remind you to stay safe, check details, and take breaks to slow down from time to time. It will be easier to stop completely for 5-10 minutes at a time than it will to slow down your overall pace.
Unexpected changes are the norm. Both on the micro and macro, the fuel for change, resistance and revolution is widely available. At the same time, something that was frustrating may simply come to an end. If you are the type of person that enjoys planning out everything in your life, this couple of days might just piss you off. If, on the other hand, you enjoy flying by the seat of your pants, you should be right in the your comfort zone.
If something is ready to break, this could be the day. As far as personal growth, goals and wishes go, this can be the energy you need for that final push.
If you have been needing a break or if your immune system is challenged, your body may seize this opportunity to knock your ass down. Anything that you have been overdoing, today would be a day when you would notice. Take some zinc tonight or take a bath. Put that candy down and make a cup of tea. That may not stop you from doing more… so maybe take a break today.
Getting worked up is easy on this day, so choose something valuable. The greatest inspirations are just a moment away. If we stay in a tech induced haze, however, they will all pass us right by. What excites you and makes you interested and passionate, go find it and share your findings with someone cool. The physical truth comes home to roost on Wednesday with the full moon. Little hints and whispers may be hard to hear or listen to… but at least check in.
Yoga, mediation, fruit, outdoor time, laughter, joy, comedy, massage, dance and games are the perfect fit for Tuesday. Beware of overindulging sugar, caffeine, anxiety, stress, negative news or anything that is hyper-stimulating. A tree is much cooler than anything on your phone. This is also true for all forms of consumption, moderation can be a problem. If you do overindulge, forgive yourself and move on. Take your dog for a walk, go sit by a body of water, sing at karaoke or call your friend you haven’t spoken to in a while… you know, the one who makes you laugh about all sorts of bullshit.
Some people just LOVE to argue. This passion will be on display and the tongues will be sharp. Unless you really like this kind of stuff, stay out of it. Anything involving inflammation can get out of hand. Feed calm into the environments around you. When you can’t do so, change your environment. When you can’t do that, change you inner environment. Listen to music, go outdoors, take some deep breath.
Regardless of what happens today and how it feels… it’s not that serious… so chill, brah.
This is all part of a larger unfolding but the day itself should have some quirky spikes of energy.
