While Neptune transits
the natal chart, it is important that we see things as they are, not as we wish
they were.
Neptune tends to
colour our view and often puts a haze or veil on situations. The saying “Seeing through rose-colored
glasses” fits this situation perfectly as, under this influence, we tend to put
people or life conditions high on a pedestal.
This can become
disheartening when the veil is lifted and we finally see things as they
actually are. Much, of course, will
depend on the aspects that transiting Neptune is making to other natal planets
as well as the planets involved and the houses they are located in within the
Astrology chart. The house Neptune is
transiting through will also be of utmost importance as this is reflective of
the area of life which is involved along with the Sun’s placement by house
position with our example aspect today of transiting Neptune Quincunx (150 degrees)
the natal Sun.
The Sun has to do with
life goals and ambitions and our ability to succeed in life. It helps us find our path in life, controls
our destiny, deals with our vitality and sometimes refers to the father or
important masculine people in our life.
When Neptune is in
transit to our Sun by quincunx, also known as inconjunct, it often speaks of a
time when we need to or should make some alterations or adjustments to our
plans. Neptune can make us a little
dreamy about what it is we want to manifest in our life. The quincunx aspect has also been linked to
health concerns but there has to be other factors pointing in the same
direction in the chart.
Sometimes these
adjustments are rather subtle in nature, and we do not have to do too much in
order for us to get on the real track.
Other times, this is not the case.
We may have been fooling ourselves for some time. This can suggest that
it is time for a reality check although at other times we can get inspirational
assistance once we begin to make alterations and accept what is in front of
us. We might want to go to outside
sources for further guidance on what it is we are doing or what it is we believe
is happening.
Much will depend on
the house transiting Neptune is moving through.
Neptune moves slowly and will spend many years in one house. This area of life will become activated when
it transits other natal positions. We
will also need to see where natal Neptune is located in the chart as this
provides further information as to what areas of life are involved and how
things might unfold. The natal aspects
to Neptune will also provide information that might assist with this guidance
and help with understanding these energies more clearly.
If transiting Neptune
makes favorable aspects to other natal positions, this can be a time of great
revelation and intuitive insight. The
psychic realms can become more intriguing, and you should pursue these expressions
and delve deeper to get an understanding of what this might mean for you. Neptune is a mystical planet and offers
insight into the psychic realm.
You can allow an orb
of influence of 5-7 degrees approaching and as it nears exactitude, the
energies will strengthen. The energies
begin to fade as Neptune passes out of orb after being direct by 2 degrees of
separation. If Neptune moves into
retrograde during this time frame, it can have several passes over the same
degree and be quite influential. The
first exact pass however, is usually the most powerful.
