Transiting Neptune Conjunct the Ascendant in Astrology

If your Ascendant is Pisces and around 4-8 degrees then Neptune has been conjuncting your Rising Sign for some time now (spring of 2013 through to the beginning of 2015).  With a Pisces Ascendant, you may be attuned to the spiritual forces and have psychic inclinations, especially if you have other strong characteristics such as the Sun and Moon in water signs, or in the fourth, eighth or twelfth houses.

 

Along with a higher sensitivity to the mystical realms and occult practices, there is also the possibility that your emotional makeup is highly sensitive as well.  These two usually go hand in hand.  Pisces also has a tendency to block cold, hard facts that may infiltrate these individuals emotional network and because of this, there is a higher possibility of alcohol and drug addictions with those who have this very sensitive sign.

 

When deciphering what Neptune has been orchestrating in your life over this period, it is important to have a look at the aspects to your Ascendant in your Natal chart and the natal aspects and transits to your natal Neptune.  If your Ascendant and Neptune in the Natal chart are well aspected, Neptune’s influence will be positive and inspirational. 

 

If your natal Ascendant and Neptune have difficult aspects, the influence of Neptune will be more challenging during this time frame.  A cloud of illusion and the potential to feel dismayed emotionally as well as mentally may be present especially when Transiting Neptune is in tight aspect to these positions in your Chart.

 

This is often a time when relationships go through changes.  This aspect will alter many relationships that are actually in need of transformation.  Neptune can bring forth an idealistic relationship or a relationship that can be deceptive.  You are often not in complete control of the way you are viewing these relationships.  You may be placing your partner on a pedestal and having high expectations of them.  Sometimes what you see is not fabricated and actually exists although more often than not your perceptions are a little coloured and disappointment can result.  Keep your expectations to a minimum and understand that you are viewing life through a filter, although often there is the potential of strong intuition.  Much depends on the overall condition of your Natal Ascendant and Neptune.  

 

It is important during the transit to spend some time reflecting on who you are and watch for loosing sight of the real you, although spiritual transformations are also quite possible.  Do not expect too much from yourself and view yourself objectively.  If you like what you see, you can now make it part of your identity, as you can change who you are at any time but particularly now.  Just watch for idealizing what you think you could be or who you are becoming.

 

Many find solace in volunteer work during this transit and become involved in organizations that help those less fortunate or those who are ill.  You are apt to play a martyr role during this period although having a Pisces Ascendant, you may already have these inclinations.  You may also find that you play an important role for those less fortunate and may try to stand up for them if they are unable to do so for themselves.  This is a perfect example of how to use the energies of Neptune in a positive way and through you, these energies can have profound effects on those around you.

 

There can also a higher level of interest in the mystical realm as mentioned and your psychic abilities may move to new heights.  It is possible that you will feel as though you are more in touch with the divine.  Although traditional religious doctrines might be an avenue of expression, there are also other means of achieving this relationship with spirituality.  For many, this will be a time of awakening to a higher source of inspiration but for some, this will be a time of dismay and confusion. 

 

Make the most of this very special time in your life, as the conjunction only happens once and if you are experiencing delusion and confusion during this time, do not hesitate to seek professional advice.  Spirituality and enlightenment are often new shoots of this magical conjunction.
