The Mars-Neptune sextile connects action with imagination, intuition, and a subtle sense of what is hidden. Mars usually acts directly, through will and effort, while Neptune dissolves borders and senses mood, subtext, invisible motives, and ideals. In a soft aspect, this can give a special manner of action: not always head-on, not always loudly, but very accurately according to the atmosphere.
In character, the aspect often gives attractiveness, inspiration, and ability for acting, dance, music, film, spiritual practice, psychology, healing, charity, diplomacy, secret work, or work behind the scenes. The person may be a good strategist: they do not necessarily show all their cards, but know how to move so resistance gradually weakens. Mars gives energy, Neptune gives flexibility.
