Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
-William Shakespeare
Neptune resumes direct motion on Wednesday. Some may consider that to be a non-event. After all, Neptune is a distant mystery that has made only one full circuit of the Sun, and the signs, since it was identified as a new planet in 1846. In recent weeks its apparent motion was nearly indistinguishable from one day to the next. Nevertheless, a turning point is a turning point, this one especially. Nearly a century and a half will pass before Neptune next stations direct in Aquarius. Therefore, this will be a time to look around and take things in so that you can recall what will soon vanish and better appreciate what will not.
In astrology, planets function as archetypes for events and circumstances in your life. Of all the major planets (those said to rule signs), Neptune’s archetype is probably the most elusive because it works against structure and definition. To paraphrase Robert Hand, Neptune acts as if to dissolve and is more readily identified with dreams than truth or reality. After nearly 14 years in Aquarius, Neptune’s formless feature has touched us all; often felt as futility, it retains the potential to finally reform into true freedom.
Signs function as if to clothe a planet, providing a costume for the archetype. During a long, methodical journey, Neptune’s outfit of fixed air has taken significant wear and undergone considerable alteration. Aquarius is where your personal circles interface with the wider world. In the 20th century those were most often real places with real faces. In those places, you brought your aspiration and found your definition. Now, that common boundary and its purpose have dissolved into a virtual milieu that has increased our reach immensely but left us with little to grasp. Those few who could grasp the situation usually opted to exploit it for personal gain.
Hence, the tenure of Neptune in Aquarius, which began as a dream of service has, more often than not, dissolved into a deception that has served to transfer more power and wealth into fewer hands. Only those who have lost all perspective will despair, however. Those who gain from Neptune are destined to see those gains go the way whence they came. When that happens, it will not be a disaster except for those few who took advantage of you.
Neptune is not done. Though it is soon to fade from the stage where it strode in the raiment of Aquarius, those who rode its illusory coattails will fade with it. Those of us who are left will be stripped only of what was never really ours to begin with. Without the illusion of a separate identity gained from things we will be free to reform ourselves through the gift of a common vision gained from people.

Tracy,
Thank you for the perspective. i agree entirely.
I have a young daughter with an Aquarius Moon who is the most sweet, sensitive, loving, warm, compassionate person I have ever known.
Every chart represents a unique and complex fusion of energies, and the way the Moon manifests depends on many chart factors, including how a person’s whole complex Moon configuration interacts with our own equally complex configuration, and the level of development / awareness each is currently operating at.
Astrological generalisations can be such a trap, they do everyone a disservice, both those with the cliche in question in their chart, and those who avoid them because of it.
I think understanding another person’s Moon is a seriously difficult trick to pull off, involving imagining genuinely feeling totally different to any way you’re actually capable of feeling, it’s almost an impossible ask. But I think even getting as far as understanding the difficulty in that way, and that it works the same both ways, is probably a help.
“i understand it on an intellectual level, and he’s a very passionate person overall. but i have to say, when we find ourselves in those moments and he’s sitting at his computer or just looking at me while i’m lying there sobbing, it can be very hard to feel cared for/ cared about/ empathized & sympathized with.”
{{{Amanda}}} That’s what girlfriends are for. At least that’s what mine tell me.
I have to say that the most difficult ones are the air ones that have some water in them; they present as such caring, sensitive, even deep people but then when you need them to BE that deep and caring, they float away. It is maddening and hurtful but it is what it is. It feels like misrepresentation but it isn’t intentional; at least most of the ones I have dealt with (or talked to) didn’t intend to hurt. For the one on the receiving end that is the hardest part. It would be easier if you could just get mad, blame them, and walk away in a huff using your own anger to get over the pain. Instead you are left holding the shit AGAIN and it is awful. That is why I usually avoid these nice people; they just are not for me no matter how engaging they seem to be.
“It could be something the water or earth person has projected onto the air person in order to integrate that property into their own makeup.”
oy, i’ve been accused of this as an virgo sun cancer moon loving an aqua sun gemini moon, who also wondered why the fuck they went MIA after uncannily appearing, being absolutely, completely and intensely passionately present.
… and then there is also the theory that opposites attract. It is accepted in the astrological world that ‘fire’ and ‘air’ are attracted to ‘water’ or ‘earth’ and vice verse on general principals; I’m guessing it is like being attracted to look at a roadside accident!”
yep, train wreck. still finding/looking for pieces, but i’m getting it. could be my aqua rising?
thanks for this All.
B-R,
What a time it’s been! So many times it has been a short period of minor successes, then BOOM! Back to square one. Learning something each time, but oh, those painful recovery periods. Somewhat like walking on really slick ice and there is no alternative, so you just have to fall down from time to time.
I just wish I was about 20 years younger, so that those mistakes and errors in judgement were engraved in my psyche earlier, but we can’t have everything, can we? Given the family lifespans, I’m only half way along (truly “middle aged” here), so there is still plenty of time to remember those lessons learned. It is good to have company along for the trip. 🙂
Oh, and I have my sun, Mercury, Chiron, Mars, and a host of minor planets in Air here.
Starry Knight – You might have to help me find Neptune in Aq if what I’m about to write doesn’t fit – I’m still pretty much of a novice when it comes to interpreting charts. If I need to generate a progression chart or something, let me know. In my natal chart, Neptune is about two thirds of the way through my fourth house at 6Sco57’15”. I hope that works.
“he feels like he can’t let himself identify with it too closely — otherwise, he gets sucked in energetically to a place where it’s exhausting or detrimental to him.”
That’s exactly the way I have heard these air people explain it to me.
Or as I explain to my introvert/extrovert daughters, the peopled interactions that energize the extrovert actually weaken and tire out the introvert. By contrast, the isolation the introvert gets energy from enervates the extrovert badly. These different people need to find a balance between them that works for them and find some of their individual needs outside of their relationship as sisters.
The same could be said of imbalanced air/water or other element people. Or they could just do what I did and avoid those who feel harmful to them. Yes it means giving up what could be a positive relationship but sometimes the pain outweighs the positive.
“To each her own,” said the old woman as she kissed the cow. 🙂 Kat
Carrie: “I can’t tell you how many times a water or earth person has come to me feeling unloved by their partner who, upon checking their chart has prominant air signs (rising, moon or sun).”
It could be something the water or earth person has projected onto the air person in order to integrate that property into their own makeup. When checking chart against chart, are there any aspects (squares, conjunctions, etc) between those prominant air features in the air person and the feeling unloved person? It is not too common for one to be completely void in an element natally. Even so, something in their progressed chart might reveal the missing element, and then there is also the theory that opposites attract. It is accepted in the astrological world that ‘fire’ and ‘air’ are attracted to ‘water’ or ‘earth’ and vice verse on general principals; I’m guessing it is like being attracted to look at a roadside accident!
Then too, we water people can seem to have no boundries or limits when emoting. An air person might, if confiding to someone, say they feel destabilized by that much feeling. They might want to avoid that type of person much the same way you want to avoid them. Does your father’s chart reveal any air planets?
I doubt there are too many of us that have a complete and balanced amount of all the elements, so it is a learning-by-experience challenge to just be alive in this world. Next time ’round we may come back with a chart full of planets in that element so as to get the full perspective. Or maybe we’ve already been there and done that!

Btw, I’m Gemini sun and Libra Neptune but have five planets in water. I think the water negates the detachment of my sun. Seems like you can’t just go by the sun/moon signs can you Carrie?
Brendan,
Do you mind telling what house Neptune in Aq. Transits in your chart? I’m trying to learn about transits. Thanks.
mystes, i hear you! no fun feeling like you’re being lumped in with a bunch of cold hearts. but i find this discussion of Aqu moons to be really interesting, nonetheless.
for my part, i’ve had a very close relationship with someone who has water sun & rising, plus the Aqu moon. he has explained more than once, that when i am in the midst of great pain & internal conflict (about us or about myself or some combination), he feels like he can’t let himself identify with it too closely — otherwise, he gets sucked in energetically to a place where it’s exhausting or detrimental to him.
i understand it on an intellectual level, and he’s a very passionate person overall. but i have to say, when we find ourselves in those moments and he’s sitting at his computer or just looking at me while i’m lying there sobbing, it can be very hard to feel cared for/ cared about/ empathized & sympathized with.
granted, these moments tend to be complex and difficult for both of us for various reasons; maybe it’s not fair of me to distill it like this here. not a simple situation, to be sure.
Carrie, I appreciate your putting yourself “out there” about your experiences with souls like me who are heavily laden with air (Gemini sun, Libra moon). I have deep, long term relationships with Capricorns, Leos, Pisceans and Scorpios. At least I think I have.
I really enjoy hearing what you think, Brendan. Don’t hold back! Love it. What a ride this past 14 years has been, huh? And I didn’t realize until recently that I had been on it (the LONG ride, that is. Knew what I thought were “short ones” were pretty harrowing, but now I see this has been one long roller coaster that I hadn’t been able to see the full length of, not all the peaks and valleys that were just waiting to give me a thrill.) As shebear said today”aaargh!” So hearing from one another on PW sure does sweeten some of the dips and turns.

“probably more ‘unwilling’ than ‘unable’ and probably not just the Aquarian Moon all alone me thinks.”
I would ask why they are unwilling then. Based on what I have experienced it IS because they are unable. And no, it isn’t just Aq. Moons either. Most people with air moons (or air suns or rising too) seem to have this issue. They are so air (mentally) oriented that deep emoting almost scares them (or it does scare them) or it feels decidedly uncomfortable and confining. Air signs in general (again, in my experience) seem the least connected to their physical bodies and seem the least wired for strong feelings. They also dislike anything that looks like or feels like confinement or commitment. They prefer having their options open so they can move freely in and out of things. This is fine if they are interacting with other people who feel the same way but if they interact with people who need more emotion or commitment, it can get hurtful to both sides.
Again, this has only been my experience when dealing with the people who I meet and who come to me with their relationship problems. I can’t tell you how many times a water or earth person has come to me feeling unloved by their partner who, upon checking their chart, has prominent air signs (rising, moon or sun). The air partner just cannot emote enough or cannot commit enough or seems elusive. It is a difficult thing to deal with and I always refer these folks to couples therapy because I feel totally inadequate to the task of helping them.
I will admit to tunnel vision here because I do see these kinds of relationship issues more than some others may. I often wonder what is it about the air people that seem to draw the earth or water types to want to connect with them so much?
For myself, once I realized how they affect me, I avoided them like the plague when it comes to relationships deeper than low-level acquaintances (unless I had no way to know about their prominent air placement). After doing that, I have had a lot less issues with close friends; I match better and feel better reciprocation, too. Once in a while, one gets under my radar (usually because they won’t tell me their birth data) and I get scorched a bit but for the most part, I keep my distance from them because I know they don’t emote enough (or commit enough) for my comfort zone in close relationships. This is not to say they are bad people; they just are not good for me in close relationships.
Please remember my disclaimers: this is my experience only and not “The Truth” for everyone.
I got to thinking (can’t help it, Aq sun/Aries moon here) what was happening to me 14 years ago, and that was when my presence as a corporate clone began falling apart. Early in ’97 we were told that there was to be yet another re-organization and this time it was to be drastic, so don’t expect to have your job after that.
Fifteen months later, I was out and at odds with the world at large as I knew it then. It’s been a long road since, and not without many potholes, but I know what to do now…
Wonderful thread, folks!
Carrie. . probably more ‘unwilling’ than ‘unable’ and probably not just the Aquarian Moon all alone me thinks.
mystes. . “so cut that out”; Yes M’am, so sorry!
be
Wow, this Aquarius-Moon-as-emotional-coolth-motif is creepin’ me out, y’all… I do think this group has a higher-than-average number of Aq)s, something to do with Eric and Simula simulibus curature.
That said, I am one of those critters, and no one has ever accused me of dispassion.
Now, one of the mirabilii –a genius bodyworker, might I add– did say that when I got stuck emotionally, I thought my way through it. And I do, but I even *think* passionately.
So cut that out.
Thanks,
M
“but Aquarius the sign could, and I believe, has been described as “frozen”; at least from an emotional perspective.”
I have found that to be the case with a lot of Aquarius Moon folks. On the surface, they seem so friendly but go deeper and they run like hell or stand frozen in their tracks, totally unable to relate on any deeper level despite having thrown up all the signs of being able to do so. It can be very painful dealing with them if you don;’t know ahead of time about their Aqu. Moon.
Kat,
I’ve read and re-read these comments and now I don’t know if I’m repeating what I’ve just read or it is a subliminal separate-incoming message, but Aquarius the sign could, and I believe, has been described as “frozen”; at least from an emotional perspective. No offense Aquarius Sun and Moon folk, I too are one. It does have its advantages. But from a ‘hidden message’ point of view, Neptune could have felt frozen for the past 14 years himself. It was partially mitigated much of the time when he was in mutual reception with Uranus in Pisces, but if Neptune was frozen then so were we to a certain extent. Maybe we are entering the great thaw and now the many hard-hearted souls that have seen fit to throw grandma under the bus as well as other recipients of government support, will start ‘feeling’ again. I’m thinking with my heart and feeling with my brain but it might work.
be
Neptune’s presence on or near my Sun/Merc/Asc (@25+ Aqua) for such an extended period helped dissolve the very stubborn and unjust (along with incorrect) definition of who I am in the world. That definition the family gave me served to stir me into a rage against Saturn, among other things/people/groups. As Neptune resumes direction motion tomorrow I can not only feel the letting go of this old chestnut, I open myself up to groups in a new way, more authentically me.
mm
ps: awesome stuff here, thank you!
bkoeler – Your descriptions (and Len’s) of all the planets aspecting Neptune during this transition gave me another insight into my sea animal dream – so many species (planets, meanings) together, held in limbo, in the ice. I, too wondered about the well-being of our sea brothers and sisters and the disaterous events in the Gulf of Mexico, Fukishima, etc.
7Towers I appreciated your description of Aquarius Moon – I related. I have had a lifetime journey learning to appreciate the watery element in myself and others (the only focus in water at all in my chart is South Node and Chiron in Scorpio)
On a personal level, that dream of the melting ice holding sea creatures also seems to be a validation of that lifetime of work. On the other hand, I, too, am happy to have a level of detatchment which has served me well – and why not? We are all children born exactly as we are, as we must be, at the right time and place to express the Universe as it wishes to be epressed (that’s my story and I’m sticking to it) I am also happy to be letting go of a need to be other than I am – at any time, in any moment – while dialectiacally knowing I could be better 🙂 Kat
I, for one, cannot WAIT for the water-bearer to shrug it’s shoulders and the last of Neptune there to slither on…
Then again, Annie, my sig. Other has Pisces on the 7th. I wonder how that might operate in his realm of Other and in the realm of Us? We made it thru Uranus transiting his 7th (now transit 8th) there was lots of establishing ourselves as separate individuals; so now what? Now all our (or at least his) illusions about other shall dissolve…but slowly, I guess.
Incidentally, our relationship began 15 years ago. Neptune on my 2nd and his 6th meant he retired and I still haven’t figured out my vocation or financial center of gravity. Lots of self deception over the years for me, I think, but only now looking at the tangled net Neptune cast across the sea of my 2nd/8th axis and barely beginning to attempt to mend it.
7Towers: Yes, you do make sense (to me, at least) and it is a wisdom that i will strive to integrate today. Thank you for the well-timed, appropriately phrased comments.
Burning River: Deep appreciation to you for sharing an exemplary Neptune experience. You inspire me to emulation.
Len, your mentioning the “almost 14 year stint ( of Neptune) in Aquarius” opened up some important doors of understanding for me of what is going on this week for me (some major clarity and healing), especially the transits Eric covered so well. Thank you so much. This clarity and healing experience of this week that I am finally getting a handle on began in mid to late 1997 and really took off at the beginning of February, 1998. I see the trail and the connections now.
I have Hated Neptune and its effects on my thinking and my life (my perceived understanding of its effects, I will now say) up until a meditation this morning after I recalled a dream I woke up with about starting to leave and then having to go back down through underground ice tunnels to retrieve one more thing.
When journal-ling and meditating were finished this morning I saw how structure after structure and denial after denial of mine have been DISSOLVING for the past 14 years. I was hating Neptune’s influence of denial (and the other D’s in my life) because that was all I was seeing as the Dissolving was going on.
Perhaps needless to say, my gratitude and awe for the incredible delicacy and power of Neptune’s positive effect in my life at last brought awe and tears.
No change in how I appreciate you and your columns.

Thanks Len always enjoy your posts. Neptune as I think you meant in the writings dissolves illusionary structures but I don’t experience Neptune dissolving all structure, I think the structure that it upholds , or what’s left once whats false is stripped away is ineffable but having solid sound reality in the experience. Im not very good at conveying my ideas.
Mars in Leo like Eric and others say seems to place energy on self , all about self , and this is good if that is centered on cleaning out your crap that reisides inside that inhibits us from adding to our own life and then others lives. But it also can manifest as self consumed which I am well aquainted with having mars in leo in my natal chart.. I’m happy to say that the former direction is and has gained me a much richer life. I felt like a frozen waterfall because I really was while self consumed. So I began to take and still do all that comes at me in my concious life , obstacles in all forms to give me clues about what is hidden in my sea of unconcious.
Its completely opposite from what I was taught , bit by bit dismantling and exposing the conditioning. I am humbled and gratefully so.
I guess what I’m trying to say and its nothing new is that Plutos destruction is good , uranus electric shocks are the means to allow us to get to know neptunes reality is real and sublime but the journey is painful because most of us have fixed ideas that are upside down, intentions are usually good but the means , hows, ways and the whys of the outcomes they produce are mostly if not completely done with misunderstanding, resulting outcomes misunderstood.
I also have an aquarius moon and have experienced the detachement properties in both unhealthy which left me disconnected from my own center. Also healthy which leaves me at my center full of empathy , feeling the commonality between self and other but being able to detach from the outcome and this save a ton of energy that used to be mindless worrying of the what ifs , mind trips, or worse still manipulations to cover all the bases of the what ifs.
My Aquarius moon helps me to do my part and then step back. Wow much better. Saturn in aquarius has been interesting for me as well , Karma for me has turned into my best teacher for being able to become self aware.. Sorry if I make no sense, truly I just enjoyed what everyone wrote about current and upcoming alignments.
In my life Im gaining a sharper view but believe me I am undergoing one after another heavy , intense many times confusing and painful challenges but the inward gaze allows me to turn my crazy shit to fertile compost not to mention the enourmous amount of vital energy saved ceasing to endlessly sling it outwards..
Notes from the universe had this today
“what if I told you that your every conflict, disappointment, struggle or challenge, with others or yourself, was merely a manifestation of what’s going on within your own thinking… would you go there first to fix, mend, and allay?”
Yeah, you might miss the drama.

Len,
If you ever wend your way back to Flagstaff please let us know; we would welcome you. It is a beautiful place.
We had our first snowfall of the season this weekend here in Flagstaff and it is softly snowing from a white-gray sky right now. I love this and feel a sense of snug peacefulness. I have always loved the snowy weather ever since my almost three years in Germany when I was 4-6 and a half years old.
It looks wonderful outside now.
Carrie: You have a good point about Flagstaff. There but once, part of me remains.
be: Thank you so very much again for taking us broader and deeper, not only in regards to the Neptune station but also the dove-tail with today’s outstanding Daily Astrology blog. You are absolutely on track with your observations. Thank you for introducing us to the Vigintile. The nearly concurrent direct stations of Ceres, Neptune and Chiron overlapping a Full Moon are even more powerful if you consider when each of those three stationed retrograde. Include the dynamic territory Mars is crossing (Regulus-Sphinx-land) and the Maltese Falcon suddenly seems quaint.
Amanda: Thank you for chiming in with your cogent observations.
Huffy, Hugging Scorpio, Brendan, Annie, Hazel1, KatLyons, and Patty: Thank you all. Could it be that we are all on the same page as Prospero?
Fourteen years ago….it was 1997 and we ended up moving to Flagstaff. That was momentous because we felt like shell-shocked survivors after a family disaster. We have moved away twice and returned each time feeling like this place is a refuge from stress. This despite the year we experienced excruciating financial stress (2005) that only got worse when we moved away (2006) but finally began to get better by small increments in 2007 when we moved back. For some reason, we all feel like this is HOME and for me that is amazing because I have traveled all over the world as a Global Nomad.
I await these transits and changes with a sense of hope because slowly things seem to be getting better. Not so much in the financial department but definitely in the emotional and relationship departments.
Len,
You have said that you thought Neptune might be the man behind the curtain or words to that effect, so I figure you probably know this already. Neptune has made and will make some connections to 3 other planets that aren’t totally obvious during this time frame from November 6 through November 10th.
Starting with transiting Ceres, who just stationed direct yesterday. . Neptune and Ceres are 18 degrees apart which is a Vigintile. This aspect provides the capacity to understand the inner relations between seemingly isolated sets of circumstances. They will hold this exact aspect throught November 16.
Then trans. Mars opposed Neptune today at the most potent time; during Neptune’s station, which as you said, will be exact on the 9th.
On November 10th there is the full Moon at around 3 PM Eastern time, then around 4 PM Chiron goes direct at 0 Pisces and later, about 11 PM, Mars will ingress Virgo to oppose Chiron at his most powerful period. Do you suppose there might be a story that connects these mythic symbols in a way that would help us understand what is coming after Neptune enters Pisces? Kat’s dream got me to thinking about this, what with the frozen waterfall and sea life.
That 3 of the 4 planets are caught in aspect within a few days of one another, just at their most potent says PAY ATTENTION TO ME. Ceres, already in Pisces might be addressing the tragedy of the sea life as it affects the food supply, or maybe the grief related to the stolen child symbolism (hope, jobs, homes, etc.) , or the dissolution of clean drinking water. Mars, from 2 different signs, opposing (which is a challenge) the 2 planets at their greatest moment of strength. First to Neptune in Aquarius from his position in Leo could be the protesting ‘individuals’ against the deceptive practices of groups. Then from Virgo he might be demanding workers rights and/or defined health care benefits be brought to mass consciousness by Chiron, who is still conjunct Neptune.
There are probably many ways these 4 planets could be relating to one another and I just feel that, coming so near the Taurus-Scorpio Sun-Moon opposition, and the stationing direct of the 3 planets, all related to Pisces in some way, there’s a passionate message hidden beneath the surface of what we see. Sea?
The aspect between Ceres and Neptune also involves the use of the will and can expand influence and effectiveness in transformative ways. Think about it.

Be, i have been thinking the same thing – need to write down all the twists and turns of the past 12 years. The little burst of Neptune in Pisces was difficult for me, as I recall. We should all have a toast tonight. The day was quite calm and carefree for me today, but i caught a look at someone who wasn’t and…oh lordy it was hard not to laugh out loud.
hazel1 & kat — interesting thoughts. hazel, i just got out my calculator based on your comment. aquarius spans my 8th & 9th houses, & there does seem to be some resonance with these themes if i look back to 1997 & follow along. time to do some mulling…
Len – Reading your article, I had a jolt of recognition, I just understood (at least in part) a dream image from a couple of nights ago. I was on the very top of a frozen waterfull. With a pick, I dislodged a chunk of ice. In the ice was embedded small fish and other sea animals (a small school of tiny fish, a crab, etc.) All of a sudden the ice melted and the sea creatures spilled out over the icy fozen waterfall, and fell – even leaped – very far down. I wondered in the dream what would happen to them and was struck by the karma of having been frozen, and yet able to come to life when freed.
The connections I am making in the imagary are of Neptune turning direct and moving out of Aquarius, with the sea creatures normally at home in Pisces, frozen in the solid state of Aquarius (not the warmest sign – I have Moon there, so I know) now being released into their natural watery state. Kat
Y’know, I checked out on my calculator back 14 years to see what year that was and I realized that it kind of has been a time of “futility” in lots of parts of my life, particularly with money. Though I have made some good decisions in regards to money, I have not been able to progress much, I decided to work for a non-profit animal shelter, etc., and I just didn’t “do” money much. I don’t regret any of it, I just feel a big urge to start moving again and I lucked out on a job that pays pretty well and I’m actually moving forward with plans that I’ve been leaving to the side for years. I probably did have people take advantage of me during this past time, but they’ve already kind of spun out in their own lives, I guess it rebounded against them already. I really don’t know what Neptune in Pisces holds, I do know that I got used to things dissolving pretty well the past few years.
Len, thank you so much, once again.
I am reading this on the purely ‘personal’ – I was involved in a relationship for just over 13 years, heavily influenced by Neptune. I am not a year out and your writing helps. I have Aquarius on the 7th!
Long story! Just, thank you, your writing today has really helped gel something for me in a long fight to learn to trust my instinct again.
Thanks to everyone who makes Planet Waves work so beautifully – I don’t *pop up* often but I am always reading and absorbing 🙂
Tempest fugit is right: a low front is coming through today, with wind, rain, dust, and snow higher up in the mountains. We were 80 degrees last Thursday, right now it’s 57 and going down. It is forecast to be 25 tonight – our first real freeze – so winter has arrived. Fall doesn’t really exist here, per se, so the transition can be rather fast.
I, an Aquarian born, am quite ready for King Neptune to leave! Bring it on, I say, and let the new times roll.
Thank you Senor Len!
Thanks Len!
Just wanted to share that last night, I was doing some meditation. I don’t consider myself well endowed with any vision or stuff at all. But completely and clearly, I saw in my mind, the planet Neptune. It was if I was there in its orbit. It was so huge and beautiful, full of incredible mystical grace. I’ve never had that happen to me before. Perhaps a part of my awareness made a connection to it. It was very lovely.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose, eh? I will take my camera with me today Len so as to recall how it was around my part of the world when Neptune closed the curtain behind him. Now we wait; anticipating with joy or dread, either of which is probably an extreme of what Neptune will represent when clothed in the filmy Pisces costume he must surely love. A mixture of both too I reckon; a double dose of dissolve and dream and finally the freedom to create from the ashes of Pluto’s destruction and Uranus’ uncontrolable desire for change. Then we will create. In the mean time we deal with the details of life’s everyday challenges, until we sleep perchance to dream.
Here’s mud in your eye my friends, and a toast to the next 14 years. Bottoms up (and I mean that in the nicest way!)

Have a look at this, Amanda. xx

ah — iceland!!! i can’t believe i forgot about their collapse. well, i guess there’s been plenty of other crises and drama to keep our attention elsewhere. glad to hear they’re coming out of it ok. how are they doing it?
Fascinating, Len. I had to read up on Iceland at work today – when the global financial crisis hit in 2008, Icelandic banks had foreign assets worth about 10 times the country’s GDP, with debts to match. They’re coming out of the crisis well (volcanoes permitting).Sounds very Neptune in Aquarius. xx
