In synastry the aspect reads both ways: your Mars on their Neptune, or their Mars on your Neptune. The person whose planet is Mars brings desire, energy, a way of fighting; the one whose planet is Neptune brings dream, empathy, the romantic ideal. The sextile opens a door: the agreement is there, but it has to be brought to life by gestures, or it stays a possibility.
