You may therefore find this time of your life not only tinged with confusion but also distinguished by what is hidden in plain sight. Neptune’s reversal today is practically hidden amongst the most amazing astrology of your life. Neptune’s retrograde follows a solar eclipse by two weeks and a lunar eclipse by 10 hours, while preceding Venus transiting the Sun and a lunar occultation of Pluto by two days. It’s the sleeper that pervades this auspicious time.<\/p>\n
It is not an overstatement to say that Neptune is pervasive right now. Of the three ruler planets with orbits exceeding the average human lifetime (the other two being Uranus and Pluto), Neptune was the last to change signs for the long term. Pluto’s last Capricorn ingress in 2008 saw the beginning of a world-wide financial meltdown still in progress. Uranus’ final commitment to Aries in 2011 was precisely concurrent with the Fukushima nuclear reactor meltdowns, also still in progress. Neptune’s ultimate entry to Pisces was in February of this year and that event appears to coincide with the meltdown of progress itself as we have come to know it since Neptune was discovered.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By the time Neptune was identified as a planet in 1846, humanity had progressed to the threshold of realizing the Old Testament’s dictum of dominion over the Earth. What was not commonly understood by those inflicting that dominion on other cultures and species was the outright lie that supported the obscenity of manifest destiny. The underlying deceit behind what came to be known as progress was the idea that there were no limits to the abuse and exploitation Earth could endure at our hands. Now that Neptune has completed just over one orbit of the Sun since its discovery, the consequences of that mass deception are being revealed as a threat to all forms of life on this planet.<\/p>\n
Deception and lies are the dark side of Neptune as its archetype is expressed in your life. To hear some tell it, the dark side is Neptune’s only side, but that is not the case for any object or point utilized by astrology. There is another side, a brighter side, having to do with dreams and humanity’s unique ability to make dreams real. Given its timing, Neptune’s retrograde station is the opportunity not only to see but realize that brighter side as it pervades the more rare and publicized events taking place concurrently.<\/p>\n
As Neptune and the Sun approach their opposition (another way of saying Earth is moving between them), Neptune does in fact become brighter from our point of view with more of its distant surface reflecting solar illumination\u00a0in our direction. The reality of a more luminous Neptune that synchronizes to its retrograde period is already being seen symbolically in how corresponding celestial events are being described.<\/p>\n
Recent writings on Planet Waves have described this morning’s lunar eclipse as a chance to distinguish “beyond shadowy levels of the psyche,” and the lunar occultation of Pluto as “deep passion working its way through.” Even more tellingly, psychologist-astrologer David Tresemer counseled us to take this century’s last Venus transit of the Sun as an “opportunity to cultivate your relationship to ideals.” If you examine each of those characterizations, especially key words like “shadowy,” “psyche”, “deep” and especially “ideals,” you could just as well be talking about Neptune — and indeed you are.<\/p>\n
Neptune stationing retrograde today is yet another evidence that movements of the Sun, Moon and planets as observed from Earth are not random or chaotic, but synchronized with each other and your life. Everything in how you have experienced the eclipses bears the wet fingerprint of Neptune. What will happen during what Eric has called the “eclipse-like events” to come will likewise reflect Neptune’s positive expression of dreams and ideals: permeating like water soaking into the ground, flowing through your body, falling as rain, giving life a chance to survive underlying deceptions that feed toxic enterprises, allowing you to be cleansed, refreshed and filled to the brim.<\/p>\n
As Neptune approaches the equivalent of its full phase over the next couple months, you can expect more of the same. Its accustomed way of disappearing will be reversed. You will see evidence of Neptune everywhere, in the words people use, in how you feel, even in how things look, taste, smell and sound. Sleeping behind both the symbolic and the real, the great depth of life’s unity will arise and the superficial differences will be submerged. Give yourself a chance to get off the old worn lie of progress to ride the new tide of Neptune and from within you the sleeper, so long hidden in plain sight of your soul, will awaken. Can somebody please say life?<\/p>\n

Neptune stations retrograde today for the first time since entering Pisces in February. That means Earth is approaching its annual passage between Neptune and the Sun, which will take place in August. The reality of Earth catching up to pass creates our illusory perception of Neptune moving backward.
