Our current astrology comes with a theme of inner planets (Mercury and Venus) making conjunctions to outer planets (Pluto and Neptune). This is a special condition, especially with two events happening simultaneously. Planets close to the Sun represent palpable, direct human experiences.

Those far from the Sun tend to represent deeper spiritual or psychological processes. When you put the two together, there’s a point of contact between those two realms, and our mundane feelings, ideas and choices can seem much larger and more meaningful than normal.
Mercury conjunct Pluto represents deep realizations, focused idea, and observations that come with a sense of finality. Exact Friday, this aspect may come with some dark or unusual ‘big world’ news. Venus conjunct Neptune invokes the principle of ‘higher love’ — the kind that’s not beset by jealousy or possessiveness but which has an egalitarian, humanitarian spirit. Venus swiftly moves into Pisces after making this conjunction, leading the way for Neptune to do the same in early February.
Neptune in Pisces commences a long era of world history that will soften our perception of the world, and do more to open up the connections between people than five Internets combined. Neptune in Pisces is the inter without the need for a net. The sobering news is that what we all have in common is water, and as this transit develops between now and 2025, we will learn a lot about what has become of water: the true condition of our rivers, streams and oceans.
