Masculinity, Confused Sun Conjunct Neptune and Saturn in Aries

Masculinity, Confused Sun Conjunct Neptune and Saturn in Aries

The Sun is exalted in Aries. The ego is strong. The lesson of this sign is to be yourself — unapologetically.

But Neptune is here too. Ruling the collective. Stripping the ego back.

Saturn is the judge. The jury. After millions watched the Manosphere rise, the verdict is coming in. We are collectively calling out misogyny — awakening to how many young minds were distorted by influencers selling a lifestyle built on the mistreatment of women. Some of these men took influence from Andrew Tate.

The planetary alignment sets the theme. How it plays out is layered.

Some men see the bad behaviour and consciously correct it. Others feel emasculated — and instead of understanding why, they double down.

Saturn brings lessons to those who need them. It limits what it touches. Right now, it’s breaking down masculine energy because it’s time for a restructure. A reboot.

Neptune in Aries brings empathy for the fractured masculine — but also dissociation. We can tune in or tune out.

Those tuned in are developing a new masculine frequency. Those who tune out ride the waves of external validation, relying on the collective to tell them who they are. They pump the ego. They develop a false self. They form no opinions from within.

They just listen to the voice on the television.

I see a young man walking with a group of men, punching the air, showing off his boxing moves in the middle of the high street.

Neptune cloaks us. It wraps the Sun in invisibility. We feel unseen — or invincible. We either work harder to be seen, or we act as if our actions have no consequence.

The Sun wrapped in Neptune lacks self-awareness. The Sun knows its own light. Neptune projects illusion. For the watcher, it can feel icky.

I watched a documentary about a woman taken in by a con man. On the outskirts, the audience could see what was happening. She could not. She said it herself: I was so confused. He convinced her he was not human. Immortal. That she was on a mission to help him, and money should not concern her.

On a personal level, we are not seeing beyond our bubble. We create an imaginary world.

On a collective level, we call out others’ bad behaviour and work to correct it.

We project.

For every story, there is a deeper meaning.

Turn off the projector. You will see the wall with all the cracks.

Maybe even the real image of true masculine.
