Spiritual matters receive an extra nudge today as Mars links up with Neptune on the 27th degree of Pisces. This conjunction between the God of War and the God of Spirituality occurs approximately once every two years and lasts for about a month.
Mars is the embodiment of action, aggression, and anger. In extreme cases, we can see holy wars, battles over faith and beliefs, and significant steps taken towards gaining clarity. Neptune has a tendency to pull us towards escapism, dreaminess, and drug use, but Neptune requires that we’re of sober mind to discern the difference between guidance coming from the higher self and the temptations driven by irrational thinking due to addictions or our fear to face life head-on.
You might feel the urge to leave it all behind and experience all that life has to offer, and you know what? You’ll never know what you’re missing until you’ve seen it all.
You might feel the urge to switch religions, join a new church, or study some type of religious texts or scripture.
Organized religious institutions are good because they provide people within a community an opportunity to meet, socialize, and form bonds, but there’s another side to that. Organized religions divide humanity.
This is why we see these violent wars between religions. It’s religious extremism and neither side is willing to bend. It can be dangerous. Concentrate on your faith now, because faith is what’s important.
Do you have faith? If you do, then you should get a lot out of this conjunction, and I’d expect that faith of yours to be tested, but even if you don’t, the Universe has a funny way of showing us that even the worst situations happen for a very good reason.
Mars conjunct Neptune is an arousal of spirit to take action.
