Child Of Neptune With Child Of Mars
Children of Mars are highly motivated. Though you may never share their single?minded drive (your energy fluctuates too much to sustain that kind of intensity), you are stimulated and excited by their presence. Like a first cup of coffee in the morning, just being around a Child of Mars gets you up and buzzing.
Getting together with this person is serious business. That’s because there’s always something at stake whenever Mars, the Planet of conflict, is concerned. But what makes for an exciting and impassioned romance may prove to be a bit much for your tastes. Give your Mars love interest a couple of months to settle down. If it starts to look like all this person does is go from crisis to crisis, you might want to skip it.
You have a positive influence on your mate. Over time, this person goes from being aimless and more than just a little reckless to someone who knuckles down and applies himself or herself in a way that loved ones and friends never expected to see. Your love and belief in your mate’s potential for excellence give this person something to live for. Subsequently your mate has the equally positive effect of showing you that wishes really can come true, if you’re willing to invest the elbow grease.
This person’s answer to you feeling down or overwhelmed may be to start chanting “I know I can, I know I can.” Focusing on mastering a steep challenge is the very thing that galvanizes your Mars dad or mom. However you have a different approach to surmounting difficulty. Oftentimes it means going in the opposite direction of your parent, because it’s by losing your way that you wind up finding yourself. Just trust in the fact that when you return from your journey, its positive effect will be self-evident.
This kid was born fearless. Your first inclination may be to rope in your little daredevil. After all, it’s only natural for you to be protective. But try enrolling your son or daughter in martial arts, gymnastics, or ballet. Not only does this provide an outlet for all that energy, but the kid also acquires discipline as well. That way your son or daughter learns how to look after himself or herself. This will also cut down enormously on your worry.
This person’s solution to any crisis was to grab the bull by the horns and wrestle it to the ground. But don’t underestimate your Mars sibling’s ability to appreciate strength in all its different forms and expressions. Your sister or brother has always admired your quiet fortitude.
Given your tendency to wring your hands while lamenting the sorry state of the world, it’s nice to have a Mars friend who will look you squarely in the eye and tell you to get over yourself. Succinct and to the point, this brings you right back to your senses.
Ironically, it may be your attempt to avoid a confrontation that’s prolonging the hostility. Mars is the Planet of combat, so your enemy needs some excuse to fly into a rage. Try sticking out your tongue if you can’t think of anything else. Once that rage is spent, your Mars enemy will leave you in peace.
Your Mars boss is abrupt and gruff with everyone but you. For some reason you bring out this person’s soft side. Colleagues are dying to know your secret, but the truth is there’s nothing to tell. He or she just likes you.
What makes you and a Mars colleague such a successful team is that you don’t try to help. You’re savvy enough to get out of this person’s way and just let him or her do what comes naturally. But on those rare occasions when your Mars colleague is stymied, you’re right there with a word of advice or moral support.
