Mars Opposes Neptune: Use Your Energy Wisely!

A basic law of physics states that energy never completely dies -- it just changes form. This is an important idea to keep in mind this week as Mars (planet of energy) opposes Neptune (the ruler of all-things vague). Feel like you’re spacing out at work and dreaming your life away lately? You’re not alone, but there are better ways to make use of this Mars-Neptune transit.

Since Neptune is the planet of imagination and inspiration, this is an excellent time to direct your energy toward creative projects. Don’t worry about making them perfect; instead, focus on how you’re feeling as you create. Get in touch with your own creative spark.

Mars is all about motivation, but when Neptune gets involved, you may feel like you’ve been pulled underwater. Instead of fighting the current, use this opportunity to get some time away from the hustle of daily life. Spending time in nature or near water will be especially satisfying, even if you just take your lunch break near a fountain or in a park.

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Since you like to operate at full speed, this period may be a little frustrating. Instead, take this opportunity to rest and relax. You’ll have plenty of juice by week’s end!

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Make the most of this time by staying open to the new ideas that will arise when you’re forced to slow down and take a break.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
You’ll probably fare the best during this time as you always appreciate opportunities to dream and drift. Stay open to any emotional insights and dreamy intuitions that come your way.

Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Your practical and efficient nature doesn’t like being forced to take a time out, but if you put your frustrations aside you’ll find that you actually enjoy being still, enjoying the slower moments in your day.
