Seeing Through The Mirage | Sun Square Neptune

Hey there, it’s Luna!

Have you been feeling a little unfocused this week? Has something been confusing you or causing you to doubt yourself?

If so, don’t be too hard on yourself! Today and tomorrow, the Sun and Neptune will be placing a hazy cloud over your thinking, making you more prone to confusion, moodiness, and distraction.

At the same time, a burst of energy from Mars may have you feeling energized and motivated to tackle your goals. However, you may not know where to start! 

Misunderstandings with those around you are peaking right now. So, if you’re feeling like you don’t know what or who to trust, read on. 

We’re about to shed some light on how the planets are influencing your situation, so you can make the most of this transit and cut through any confusion happening in your life right now.  

Is It Real, Or Just An Illusion?

Sometimes we want so badly to believe something is real, that we actually lie to ourselves about what we are seeing and experiencing. 

This type of self deception is exactly what can happen during a Sun square Neptune transit. You might find yourself overlooking red flags with someone out of a shaky hope that things will work out anyway. 

Or you might trust another person to be honest and real with you, because you want to see the best in them and encourage their good qualities. If this sounds like your situation, be careful! 

This kind of optimism can be quite dangerous, because it’s based on a fantasy or ideal, rather than a realistic outlook.

For today and tomorrow, it’s important to make sure you have all your facts straight. Don’t be shy when it comes to asking questions. In fact, ask as many as you need to until you feel clear and confident in your understanding about the situation. 

By asking the right questions, you may discover important details weren’t represented correctly, and that what’s being offered isn’t what you actually want. 

Taking the time to clarify everything you need to know could save you a lot of stress and heartache! So, ask away! 

Over the next two days, it’s also important for you to make sure you’re communicating extra clearly. People might misunderstand you, and both parties could make assumptions. Even if you think you’ve been clear, check in with others to make sure you’re on the same page. 

If you find out after the fact that you’ve being mistaken about the way things are, it might start to bring you down. Don’t let your disappointment defeat you, though. If you hold steady, you’ll find a silver lining in your cloud…

Making Friends With Reality

When the Sun squares Neptune, sometimes it can cause a temporary sense of moodiness or depression. This is because your sense of reality is being adjusted. Oftentimes, it’s easy to feel let down or deflated if you come to find your wildest dreams are actually a mirage. 

Life can be drab without a bit of magic, so it makes sense to want to hold on to your dream. However, your eagerness to have a fairytale relationship or ideal experience can cause you to see perfection where it doesn’t exist.

This doesn’t mean that you’re doomed to a boring or ordinary existence. Life IS full of magic, but in order to see it, you must fall in love with reality. Fulfillment isn’t found in evasive fantasies of a perfect romance, or spiritual ascension. However, you can find a limitless supply of magic hidden within “what is”.

Sun square Neptune is often a time of disillusionment. During this planetary influence, you might suddenly see through your fantasies about life, yourself, or others. You could get hit with clarity and suddenly see the full picture in your situation – both the beautiful and the ugly. 

Although you may feel disappointed to have your high ideals crushed, if you stay curious about what lies beyond your dreams, you can find great joy in making friends with reality.

Allow today and tomorrow to be a sacred time of readjustment for you. Don’t be afraid of seeing things for what they are. You might lose a dream, but you will gain so much more. 

If today and tomorrow are feeling too heady and confusing, one sure way to deal with this influence is to get physical. For this, you have Mars on your side.

Taking Constructive Action

Over the next two days, Sun trine Mars will bring your energy and desires into harmony with your sense of self. This means it’s a great time to get things done, take action, and be physical.

Get out for a walk, do some yard work, or go to the gym. If there is physical work you’ve been putting off, right now it can be accomplished with ease. As a bonus, taking action will help get your mind off any confusing or disappointing experiences you may be facing currently. 

Try to focus on what you can do, and don’t worry about what you can’t control. You have a lot of life force at your disposal under this influence, so use it to charge ahead and accomplish the clear goals you already have in place. 

Internally, be gentle with yourself and your process. If there is something painful you’re coming to terms with, don’t push yourself too hard to get over it or force a smile. This is especially true if you’re feeling disappointed right now. Remember, it takes time to process emotional energy and reorient your perspective to the new information you’ve received. 

In just a few days we’ve got a stellar solar eclipse occurring for the New Moon, which will bring a lot of positive, fresh energy into your life. So for now, be patient as you separate fact from fiction, and get on good terms with the way things are.

Sending you strength and light-hearted laughter,

Luna Dragonwell
