Help! Neptune & Mars Conjunct in the 8th house.

Question

It's causing all types of problems.Like self doubt and defensiveness. I get a great ideas and can't make them happen! How can I deal with it till the transit is over.

Answer 1

Neptune really does make Mars uncomfortable..lol..

You may not agree, because your ideas are probably great and you may not want to share them, but until you get out of the Neptune bog, I recommend calling on your Cardinal reinforcements...get your Cardinal friends and confederates to help you push your ideas into real practical fruition. Those with heavy Earth are well suited for coping with Neptune's influences, also.

The only other thing I can recommend is journalling all the great ideas you have during this influence and keeping them until your less "under the influence"..lol...maybe later your brilliant plans won't look so good, or, maybe later there will be a few diamonds you can salvage and use. Neptune/Mars influences aren't really designed for putting plans into action anyway--they are for introverted brilliance and internal "housekeeping".

Good luck to you.

I know how you feel. I live at Number 7 and the wild parties are too much what with the loud music and women and drugs

Answer 3

Hi Oph

The effects of Mars in 8th can be either subtle or very blattant. You may encounter someone who has a powerful effect upon you and cause you to change. This may happen through a conflict wiht this person or he or she may gain influence over you. The 8th is the house of values tht you share with others and there may be a conflict concerning such values or objects.

The sum total of all of your experience at this time will lead in either great or small ways to transforming the ways in whcih you assert yourself. In either way, their will be a death of an old order and the birth of a new one.

With Neptune, you may tend  to turn your attention to the hidden areas of your life and interest in psychic and occult sciences are usually increased.

By the same token, you will want to learn more about yourself and make changes that will help you drive more successfully. As I mentioned before, the death and rebirth of a new oder may pass unnoticed because it will happen in a subtle way. Often, someone close to you dies in the year following this.

Financially, this aspect causes misunderstanding with others concerning money or property.

This is not a good time to borrow money and you may have trouble getting one as well.

Finally, I gather that Neptune is conjuncting Mars and not the other way around. This is not a good time to stike out to further your self-interest in life. Energy may be at a low which can push you to take fits of discouragement. This is a difficult transit of Neptune because Mars & Neptune are two different nature.

Whatever you plan on doing as far as establishing a place in the world among other people, Neptune will make it difficult for you to succeed. Neptune saps a lot of energy from Mars.

On another level, Neptune can push to activities or projects that are dishonest, misrepresented or subversive, although not necessarily politically. You may not be aware that it is dishonest but if you are and choose to be involved, yu are running enormous risk.

Not a good time for advancement but, by the same token, don't get discouraged. instead, cut your losses and disengage yourself if possbile from any activity that could create difficulties. Detaching yourself from your own energies is the best way to deal th this transit. And because you enjoy the action, not because you are trying to win.

The course of destached consciousness make push you to learn about how your life works. in fact, you may learn that your own efforts have fouled you up.

On the physical level, the transit can give rise to infections so it it a good ideal to rest and avoid pushing yourself worthlessly during this time.

edit...This reading is considering that Neptune is transiting Mars and not the other way around.
