<\/dt>\nSigns that share a common element form trine aspects. Trines, in turn, form connections known for their unimpeded flow of understanding.<\/p>\n
As for the consciousness of the connection, that’s because one constituent of the Scorpio-to-Pisces water trine will be the Sun. As Phil Sedgwick recently put it (albeit in reference to a different solar aspect), “The Sun requires conscious attention.”<\/p>\n
The Sun’s correspondence with consciousness, combined with the flowing connection of a water trine, will go a long way towards your understanding of Neptune in general, and finding it in your everyday life.<\/p>\n
Understanding Neptune is one of the greater, and most important challenges in working with your astrology. That’s because Neptune paradoxically combines pervasiveness with elusiveness for astrologers. Indeed, even scientists have found it to be that way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Just over 400 years ago, Neptune fooled one of the smartest guys ever. Galileo observed Neptune at least twice during 1612-13, but thought he was looking at a star. Variations of the same thing happened to others in the centuries to follow. Time and time again, the fourth-largest planet in our solar system (after Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus) was either looked at but not seen, or looked for but not found. That’s the challenge of working with Neptune through astrology as well.<\/p>\n
Time and time again, Neptune will manifest plainly in your life without your being conscious of it, but the next week or so will be a chance to discover it for yourself. The first step is to learn from the success of science.<\/p>\n
In a way, it was a case of the blind leading the blind. When Neptune was consciously observed for the first time during the Libra equinox of 1846, it was the result of a mathematician conceiving and an astronomer achieving. When the Sun enters Scorpio to turn on its water trine with Neptune tomorrow, think of your own consciousness and your own observations teaming up in the same way.<\/p>\n
Proceed from the water connection. For astrology, elemental water includes literal water, but implies more. The symbolic nature of water for astrology includes feelings, emotions, intuitions and creativity among its positive expressions. Historically, the same has been true of Neptune. Also historically, when Neptune has occupied astrology’s version of water the two have amplified each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first time Neptune occupied Pisces after its conscious discovery was basically 1849 to 1863. During those years, people from all walks of life gave vent to their feelings, expressed their emotions, acted on their intuitions and valued creativity as rarely, if ever, before. The same can be said for the immediately previous time Neptune occupied a water sign before now, when it cruised Scorpio seas essentially from 1956 to 1970.<\/p>\n
Of course, both the mid-19th Century and the late 1950’s through 1960’s were marked by some of the less positive expressions of Neptune. Strong feelings sometimes led to open conflict. Sensitive emotions were too often steered awry by psychoactive substance abuse. Intuitions were frequently unchecked by reason, and creativity was as unconscionably applied to destructive or manipulative purposes as it was to uplifting endeavors.<\/p>\n
Now, and only since 2011, Neptune has come around to where it rules: in Pisces once again. Now, and for the next week or so, the Sun will open and sustain the flow of a water trine to Neptune. Now will also be your own chance to discover.<\/p>\n
Be conscious and conceive of where water is represented in any of its tangible or metaphorical forms in your life. There Neptune, in all probability, will be expressed in earthly form. Let that consciousness guide where, and how, you observe. There — where it is wet to the touch, where feelings are most strongly felt, where emotions are most powerfully emoted, and where creativity is most fecund — is where you will find Neptune in either its magnificence or wrath, and you will be blind no more.<\/p>\n
Once found and recognized, Neptune will never be lost to you again. Neither will you be lost to it. It will be yours in awareness, and in the responsibility that must certainly follow. If you can find Neptune like that over the next week or so, you will have found more than just the manifestation of a powerful planet in your life. You will have found a large part of your pervasive, yet elusive, humanity. No small find will that be.<\/p>\n
