When Neptune
transits the natal chart, it is important that we see things as they are, not
as we wish them to be.
Neptune tends to
colour our view and often puts a haze or a 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’s conditions high on a
pedestal.
It 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, 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. With today’s focus of Neptune Quincunx
(150 degrees) the Sun, you would also want to take into consideration the Sun’s
placement by house position in your personal chart.
The Sun has to do
with our life’s goals, ambitions and our ability to succeed in life. It
helps us find our path, controls our destiny, deals with our vitality, and
sometimes refers to the father or important masculine or dominant people in our
lives.
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 concerning what it is we want
to manifest in our life. The quincunx aspect has also been linked to
health concerns but there must be other factors pointing in the same direction
in the chart for this to have any influence.
Sometimes these
adjustments are rather subtle, and we do not have to do too much in order to
get on 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 Neptune 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 understanding what is taking place under this aspect.
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.
