The BIG NEWS today is we experience Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces, which makes it a bit hard to focus. Notice how it may even be tough to focus as you read this paragraph with the graphic distracting your eyeballs. So you get my point? Just hold up a piece of paper to block the view. (winky wink) While this major aspect does have its Good points, such as giving you creative power while your mind is a bit warped (sometimes a warped mind does serve us), but drugs and alcohol need to be avoided in order to be productive. Sometimes people smoke weed to increase their creativity, but coupled with this aspect, it will not work. Also, allergies to drugs or food intolerances may be present. This aspect is extremely sensitive to chemicals and I MEAN EXTREMELY!

This is an incredible amount of creative energy, as long as, you don't allow your mind to be tainted with alcohol, food or drugs. You must be extremely protective over your mind and your own thoughts with this aspect. Also keep in mind Mars is the ancient ruler of Scorpio, so if this aspect is not closely monitored it can lead to jealousy, insecurity, along with delusional and aggressive actions. The mind will just think of reasons to be cruel, jealous and insecure, then the train of thought will take over and who knows where you will end up.

There is an interest in spiritual issues that produces a large degree of psychic energy that can turn into spiritual delusion if focus is not kept. This aspect is often associated with sexual anxieties, repressed sexual urges, or some degree of deception associated with sexual affairs turning into promiscuity or sexual perversion. YIKES! Listen, if you are involved in some secret affair or clandestine romance, this is NOT THE TIME to pursue it. Chill out! Regain your focus. If you are being secretive, then you know its wrong. It's kind of a no-brainer. The mind can easily be tainted with one sexual picture and down the rabbit hole the mind goes, which can lead to actions you might not otherwise entertain. Stop yourself before you go any further and get yourself all worked up because you can and will get caught.

Mars is full of testosterone, sex and pheromones. When this aspect is challenged by Neptune, the planet of higher Love, this can make an individual do just about anything for the sake of Love. Neptune rules chemicals, drugs, alcohol, rehab, mental health and depression. Mars square Neptune is not only lost in Love, it is lost in lust. This aspect is NOT good for you unless of course you channel it creatively, with a clean and sober mind. Remember from the list above, this aspect began in applying degrees on April 14, 2019, it is exact today, and will last in separating degrees until May 10, 2019. If you have been keeping up with the April 2019 Astro Memes and if you have my Astrology Aspects eBook (pic to the left) then you were already fully prepared and aware of this aspect.

This aspect suggests that working alone may be best or working with as few people as possible. There is a need to develop the ability to plan and control, and be more willing to accept responsibility when something goes wrong. Keep your mind clean. When Neptune is challenged, the need to drink water is at an all-time high. This will keep the body from retaining water and the mind clean from frenzy, insecurity and confusion. Water yourself!

This day is accompanied by two (2) lunar aspects that come as a sextile and a trine, which are very supportive emotionally, especially where are emotions are channeled in the home environment. This energy supports communication and channeling energy where it should go. If you can tame yourself and your urges, you can gain a lot from today's challenging aspect, but remember, it has been present since April 14th and will last until May 10th. So this entire write-up applies until then.
