This combination of planet-sign often brings global changes and influences related to matters ruled by the planet Neptune and the sign of Aries.

In some cases, these people can be prone to manipulating other people against each other, creating conflicts between them, while staying on the side and observing them. They could be doing that to gain some benefit, or simply for the fun of being able to.
Some Neptune influenced people can be very deceitful, manipulative, and prone to using others to fulfill some goals.
