October 11th brings in some interesting yet confusing astrological energy as Mars in Gemini squares off with nebulous, mystical Neptune in Pisces. This can play out as acting out of confusion. While Mars in Gemini has us very active and curious as the on-the-go messenger, Neptune in Pisces will put a damper on our energy. While we may want to make moves on incoming information courtesy of Mars in Gemini, there’s a good possibility that we’ll just end up more confused because the information is not as it appears to be. Deception, lies, miscommunication, drama, uncertainty, and suspicion are high under this aspect. If you can, avoid taking action on incoming information and channel this energy into curiously pursuing creative and spiritual endeavors…preferably on your own.
With Mars in Gemini, we are propelled to take action on the messages, communication, and information that we receive out of pure curiosity. However, Neptune in Pisces dissolves any understanding of the information we receive. If we try to take action on the information out of curiosity, we will likely end up in a flighty state of confusion.
If you’ve ever been in a situation where you’ve made a move only to later wonder why you even did what you did, this is basically the energy of Mercury in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces.
Alluring Informative Mysticism…That May Not Be Real
With Pisces/Neptune energy highlighted with this aspect, we could encounter information that is a bit otherworldly, mystical, and spiritual. Such information is likely to pique our curiosity, and Mars in Gemini gives us the drive to explore this mysticism.
However, true to the nature of Neptune in Pisces, everything is not as it seems. Likewise, Mars in Gemini can be quite crafty in using information to its liking. The combination of these two energies together can lead to being pulled in by something that seems quite mystical only to find out we have acted on an illusion…and with the square, we are likely to regret making these moves as all is not as it appears to be.
A good example of this is receiving a message perhaps from a mystical, intriguing person or perhaps the message itself is quite confusing or vague. Despite the uncertainty and mystery surrounding the message, our curiosity gets the best of us, so we engage. The only problem is the message or the person is not as they appear to be. The idealism and mystery per Neptune in Pisces eventually falls away at some point leaving us quite disappointed that we allowed our Mars in Gemini curiosity to get the best of us. It’s definitely a situation where curiosity killed the cat.
Disappointment About Past Actions
The combination of Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces has the potential to lead to a mind that ruminates on the past. As the last sign, Neptune/Pisces is karmic energy. We get back what we put out. Given that Pisces is the last zodiac sign, our minds could be quite preoccupied courtesy of Mars in Gemini with our past actions.
For some, this aspect could present a mental struggle as shown by the square between Gemini and Pisces about our past actions that leads to feelings of disappointment. With Mars in Gemini, maybe we didn’t always act in the most direct and honest manner especially when it involves communication. Perhaps we harnessed some of the negative energies of Gemini such as gossip, trickery, manipulating information, lying, and duplicity. The square to Neptune in Pisces could put us in a state of deep spiritual reflection that could lead to regret of how we moved in the past.
If you happen to be someone who is going through a process of feeling bad about past actions, it’s important to remember that Neptune in Pisces also makes space for forgiveness. Beating ourselves up will only lead to more mental frustration and a lack of clarity. It’s best to use this energy to acknowledge the various ways in which we may have misused energy…especially as it relates to communication (lying, being two-faced, insincerity, etc.) so that we can harness the forgiveness of Neptune in Pisces energy to make amends and act differently in the future.
Suspicious Motives
The Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces aspect can make us quite suspicious of others. This tense astrological energy puts us on high alert for anyone or anything that comes off as too good to be true. Due to the influence of both Gemini and Pisces, we could come in contact with people who are tricksters, shapeshifters, duplicitous, deceitful, and not quite who they appear to be.
If you feel that someone can’t be trusted at this time, it’s better to lean into your intuition (courtesy of Neptune in Pisces) and avoid them. Don’t let the curiosity of the unknown and interesting (Mars in Gemini) lead you to interact with those who could potentially cause problems later on.
Chill Out & Reflect
Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces energy is not exactly the best astrological energy to work with. However, there’s still a way to get something positive out of even the most stressful astrological energies. With the square between Mars in Gemini and Neptune in Pisces, now is not the time to act on information as we simply don’t have the full details to see things clearly. If we take action based on our curiosity, we are likely to end up being confused in the end.
While Mars in Gemini may motivate us to take action on information, the square to Neptune in Pisces means the information is not what it appears to be. Any form of gossip could potentially cause trouble and confusion. To be frank, if information is not about us personally, it’s best to leave well enough alone. The busybody energy of Mars in Gemini will only lead to confusion that will be hard to escape.
On the other hand, Neptune in Pisces could lead to an overactive imagination that is not based on anything concrete. Hallucinations and being out of touch with reality is possible at this time. Due to the influence of Neptune in Pisces, it is best to focus on creative pursuits at this time. Mars in Gemini makes us ever curious and Neptune in Pisces is always interested in the creative. Use the curiosity of Mars in Gemini to explore creativity. Discover new music. Watch a fantasy film. Try a new creative endeavor. Learn to play a musical instrument. Explore your spiritual side by exploring crystals, meditating, or delving into dreams. These are great suggestions that will allow us to use the curious energy of Mars in Gemini and the mystical energy of Neptune in Pisces in a beneficial manner.
Overall, Mars in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces creates confusion when we attempt to take action on information. While it’s not the best time to take action on information that stimulates our curiosity due to the possibility of deception, we can channel our curiosity into exploring the realms of creativity and spirituality in our own personal way.
