Transiting Neptune entered Aries on March 30, 2025. It does go back into Pisces for a short period of time (October 22, 2025, to January 26, 2026) and then after January 2026 remains in Aries until it moves into Taurus in approximately 14 years.
The Sextile aspect (60° between two planets or angles) is considered a major aspect. (The Conjunction, Trine, Square and Opposition are also major aspects.) Normally, we find we begin to feel the energetic influence of any major aspects at about 3-5° prior to becoming direct as well as about 2-3° separating. When direct (exactly at the degree), this will be the time when the aspects’ energies are most intense. A transit from transiting Mars, the Sun or transiting Uranus will set in motion the interlinking energies of the planets (used to establish correct timing) that are making aspects together. The progressed Moon can also be used as a timer.
The Sextile aspect is an aspect of opportunity and like the Trine often presents the individual with favourable opportunities, easy flow, pleasant or generally good outcomes, but unlike the Trine (which operates in such a way that little work on the part of the individual involved is required) the Sextile often needs a push or effort from the individual to create results from the opportunity.
Neptune, operating in its positive sense, brings to the forefront artistic abilities, creative potential, the want to help others and for those so inclined, can open the door for greater psychic perception. More insight and intuitive abilities can rise to the surface potentially providing those affected by this aspect with opportunities for advancement with these subjects.
Natal Mars, depending on its position in the birth chart, often produces a driving force and is a motivating factor for achievement. It can also have something to do with our sex drive and can become aggressive in this pursuit, depending on which sign and the natal aspect configurations affecting Mars. It can be confrontational, easily aroused and provide us with a push when we need it (and at the most opportune moments).
Neptune and Mars together can provide the push needed to bring forward some of life’s mysteries, create artistic opportunities for advancement and lead to favorable life events because we now have the ability to push ourselves a little harder with few reservations. The opportunity is in place, but it will be up to the individual involved to make things happen. Sitting back idle will not help with achieving what may be wanted. It is up to the individual to put in the work required to accomplish goals.
Much will depend on the overall condition of Natal Mars, along with any other transits and progressions in play at the same time. The houses impacted will define what potential lies ahead and what areas of life are involved.
Do not let the energies of the aspect of Neptune sextile Natal Mars slip away. Put forth effort so that you can reap the rewards of this opportunity involving artistic abilities or the mysteries of life.
