Neptune is stationing Retrograde, sending nebulous goo-goo psychic rays all over the place. Super energy for divination, psychic work & magical synchronicity…a soul atmosphere pervades many a relationship as this is officially an astro-signature of soulmates. But it’s also unrequited love, potential delusion and a shocker of a time to get drunk or do Neptunian substances. Peeps are highly sensitive. Better to meditate et al. Amazing for dreaming, music & art…Neptune is also empowered by being so close to Jupiter & Chiron.  This is ultra-deluxe astro-weirding guys – engage intuitive powers at full strength & beware Lower Neptunian types. They’ll be way more off-planet than even their usual shifty little grifting strange selves. Keep a grip. Do haute Neptune…

“Neptune presides over the oceanic realms of dreams, imagination, vision and myth, inspiring in us the poetry, art and music that bring conscious kinship alive in our community. The Zulu word for sleep is butongo which means ‘the state of being one with the star gods’. When we sleep, we restore our memory of kinship with higher forces.

But when we enter the illusory waking world, we forget. One way to carry the memory of kinship into the waking world is through the arts. The earliest word for dream (from the Old English word drieman) also meant to make music, which invites the notion that making music is a way of dreaming the world into being. Neptune is the part of us that sleeps, dreams, creates myths, then makes music and art to bring those myths alive.”

Caroline Casey from  Making The Gods Work For You…A beautiful book about creatively working with your transits.

            I have a floor length cashmere coat – an armani – in midnight blue (that is, almost black)… last time I wore it CUB said I looked like a Vampyre (I took that as a compliment, although he surely didn’t mean it that way)… I think it might be appropriate, given the weather, if I can figure out what to wear underneath it!

            uh oh, I just discovered, from the guy’s facebook profile, that he’s an aries.. well that explains the curly hair at least :)

            TA if he’s Aries he could have lots of planets in Taurus

          7. taurean alchemist’s avatar

            true chesh – and his birthday is April 1 so that puts his sun conjunct my Venus in Aries… I don’t know what year he was born in…

          8. cheshire cap’s avatar

            with Sun/Venus conj it should make for a happy evening Requiem or no. Is he a new contender?

          9. taurean alchemist’s avatar

            well the opera was utterly sublime… not sure if he’s a contender or not. I certainly do not feel attracted in the manner of that bluddy CUB, dammit. But I read somewhere you need to date someone four times before you can feel that kinda sizzle. Or maybe that’s you need to date someone four times before you can discount them as a contender. *sigh*

            I had a lovely evening then dreamed all night that the guy was my support person as I gave birth to a baby born without pain, who said to me as I held her for the first time ‘hello Mama’, clear as day.

            Neptune does that I guess.

          10. cheshire cap’s avatar

            woah TA that dream sounds prophetic with him helping you with all sorts of new starts. Does the “hello Mama” mean that you’re totally in control of the situation?

            So pleased you had a happy time. Did you quiz him re astro?

          11. taurean alchemist’s avatar

            thanks Chesh :) yes we had a brief discussion re his astro – he actually knew that he has Aries Sun (sadly not conjunct my Venus as he put a different birthdate on his facebook profile), Aquarius ascendant and Moon in Cancer. With his love for opera though I think he must have some strong Taurean planets – he is actually getting opera training himself.

          12. taurean alchemist’s avatar

            oh yes. I think the ‘hello Mama’ is more related to the work I’ve been doing – writing the book about parenting etc (related to what is on my blog)

          13. Über Virgo’s avatar

            I remember some dude (or is that dud) saying to me after a first ‘date’, ‘it’s great to meet new people who are nice and everything, but whaddya do when there’s no spark?’

            My reply, through gritted teeth, ‘you rub two sticks together’.

            That went nowhere, and it’s probably just as well, but my point is, sparks aren’t always instantaneous.

    I tried the mugwort under my pillow on Monday night – had such intense dreaming! I was in a huge gothic mansion (I think this was inspired by the article I read re: The Abbey in Annandale being for sale) and trying to find a toilet to use but every toilet I found had something wrong with it. Of course, I woke up madly needing to pee. Last night had the mugwort under pillow again & ANOTHER toilet dream. A faulty collapsible chair toilet & to get to the other toilet I had to step into flooded dirty water in the bathroom, I wasn’t too revolted i was just concerned about getting shoes wet. I looked up most of the meanings of toilet dreams but haven’t felt that they apply……Am going to give the mugwort another shot tonight & hope for toilet free zone!

      toilets – letting something out / go that you no longer need? something to do with lower chakras maybe? elimination of something that has served its purpose, that you have digested. i mean that’s pretty literal but maybe you could say to yourself, ‘i now let go of / release that which has served its purpose.’ as you are going to sleep. or ‘i find the perfect way to let go of those parts of me that i have digested and now release’ or something. just a thought that occurred to me…

    drieman drieman drieman there are more mad people on the street at the moment – yelling at themselves – people lurching out of the shadows to chat – it’s all rhetorical just smile and nod I have been – call them sir and ma’am smile gently and they feel you bear them no ill will and will see no reason to linger or begrudge you it you leave before they are finished. It’s the man at my door who shakes his head and says farkin … something bitch at me whenever he sees me. Mars venus gave me a nudge and I did respond last week so I am en guard every time I leave my house now.

    Have just watched the golden compass – has many joseph campbell themes and great costumes if you like that angle which is why I watched it. Nicole is beige and so is her wardrobe and she is regaled in fur. I especially liked the hospital workers uniforms with exaggerated detailing, cold pastel colours and military styling. Who is that famous designer who designed the nazi uniforms? Reminded me of him. Would be an easy way to introduce children the otherworldly themes or just simply watch a movie with them. Next for me is Narnia and then I have all 3 Lord of the Rings.

    Neptune’s grip is absolute on me. The Transits are in my 9th – moon is also trine neptune and mercury is trine my pluto. Everything is deeply considered and expressed philisophically at present. Jupiter is square my neptune which is playing out in an interesting way – I am producing lovely work – it is also more satisfying than usual and I have more creative freedom than I have ever had. Neptune is also square my natal neptune which is a time of questioning the path you are on and luckily I am also being helped in that realm by uranus around my Mid Heaven which means I am feeling more like I am having my second wind – it is a once in 84 year transit so I am glad to be having it in the middle of my days when I can put it to good use which I am motivated to do – it’s the beginning of the new life – as opposed to thinking the choices I made in the last 40 years were wrong and feeling trapped and cheated by them – as it is apparently commonly manifested. I am seeing things from the past as not necessarily being wrong simply that they are irrelevant to my now and future.

    The textiles at the back of the wardrobe are calling. I think Neptune is divine.

            hilarious – I wanted to make wallpaper and fabrics to sell in the 2nd world – I know “1st world” peeps who make muchos $$$ doing it – but I had no idea there were children’s “2nd lives” as well. Where does one go to see the igloos etc? LOL – are there stuffed “animals” to hang on the walls? There’s someone on etsy who sells felted “animal” trophies mounted on wooden plaques – very funny. Do your kids have PS3 Davidl? Little big planet is fantastique – so much fun. We discovered whenever we changed our appearances that we were regularly swapping genders as we dressed without consciously doing it. I was always a swashbuckling pirate type or a platform wearing pimp and lovely man was always wearing a lacey frock gogo boots and an afro.

    I don’t seem to do dreams in the normal sense, but at the moment I’m having very involved daytime fantasies/dreams involving the ex-Aquarian.

    I have neptune in scorp in the 2nd trining moon in cancer and chiron in pisces. Neptune is now exactly over my vertex. The Aquarians’ vertex is right on top of my natal neptune, so is trining my moon and chiron. Kim F has a lot of interesting stuff on this. Would I be right in thinking that this neptune transit is triggering the fated karma feeling?

    Just to make things more interesting, my natal eros is conjunct natal neptune and eros transit is conjunct natal chiron – both less than 2 degrees. Does this count as late May aqua weirding?!

    Reply

    1. fluid feline’s avatar

      Bloss – I too have a grand water trine involving Chiron (fish), Moon (kataka)and Neptune (scorp). Can’t comment on the Aqua’s vertex except the Neptune connection can be either nebulous or sublime. I agree with Kim F on the fated/karma feeling. OMG the Eros thing is too much for me to take in – definitely blowing out the late May aqua weirding. I’d love to hear about it in retro when you absorb it all. My aqua weirding is taking place in my 12th house (late degrees, so can’t wait for 1st house manifestation); I’ve grokked so much about the past 28 years and am ready to move on but am still in Neptunian type world – feels like a dreaming. But deep down I “know” it’s all good and I feel different – healed I guess, just want real life to move up to where I’m at. Confusing? yes? but I really do get it.

    Anyhoo, I dunno what that means at all. Maybe that my space cadet tendancies will one day be of service to humanity? … DB also has it in the 6th and retro but in Scorp – it did feel fated, at the start anyway. But I’m not really that au fait with Neptune.

    My Neptune is in Libra in the 10th house.
    last night dreamt of a badly decayed (no roof) bluestone large house that i lived in whenst
    very young. A handsome man had bought it & wanted to restore it. I said he couldn’t as
    it belonged to me. Then the most amazing cat appeared exactly same colours & stripes
    as i tiger, but was a domestic. Not sure who impressed me the most, the strong attractive
    man or the pussycat ‘of my dream’..so to speak.
    Happy dream, as would like the bluestone back with the man & cat included!

    Mattie, there ARE others Saggo’s here, me with Merc/Sun & Jupiter. Pegasus is no Mule &
    came from Medusa’s blood along with a twin sister as the myth goes.
    One foot usually in the future. Maybe why they tend to trip a bit/walk into things.
    AC Clarke must have been joking as his quote about ‘laws of prediction’ says:’ any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic’.
    That’s no skeptic!
    Future energy, physical & psychic is supposed to come from water…Neptune? Maybe full circle from
    Atlantis times?
    Anyways i think Mysteries are the only things worth exploring.
    Alchemist, yup, black suit & Chanel type Camellia flower in white or red. That is real proper
    ‘date’ you are having. Fantastic…Real Date=Real Man.

      Pegs….interesting dream when your in the midst of relocating. How’s it progressing?
      To dream of a house is to see your life. As the house was familiar and part of your childhood, I think it means that some past choice about having a man repair your life or go wild an free i.e. the tigerish cat, was a good choice and you’re tamed the tiger. It was a happy dream so it sounds like you’ve been given the nod about your relocation and it’s ok to want it all. I so hope your life and house reconstruction gives it all to you.

    Interesting guys, I am at the moment having some issues with my older siblings brother (virgo) & sister (Lib) and they don’t even know it!

    The thing is we lost our parents when we were young (I’m the youngest, brother 3 years older, sister 9 years older) & since then we haven’t been in the same room all together for 20 years. Anyway lots of things have gone unspoken & I’m really upset with my older siblings as they have never been around for me. I have needed them growing up & they were never there. Now that I’m grown up I’m starting to realize that it was kind of harsh of them to run off like they did.

    Dream………………
    So one of the dreams I had was; I was kayaking with a bunch of other people in the harbour & it then a race gun went off, we all began paddling.

    The harbour narrowed into a river & I capsized, my immediate fear was what was in the water…. as soon as I hit the water I began swimming as hard as I could up the river leaving the kayak where it was.

    As I reached the end the river turned into a water theme park & as I got to the end there were people waiting. I got out of the water & someone handed me a ticket saying ‘you’ve won, just wait over there’. I was a little surprised & turned around to see the water where I had got out of & there were kayaks being washed up into the shallow end.

    I waited & waited, slowly people from the race began showing up. We were all grouped together & waiting for all the announcements etc. When a professional tennis player (I don’t know who) came & ask me to play tennis with her, I was happy to & asked some others to join us in a game of doubles but no one else would come & play! I thought thats weird why not?

    How’s this for Neptunian. Today is the 12th anniversary of Jeff Buckley’s passing from this world, acknowledged as one of the all time great musicians. He was born on 17 Nov 1966 in Anaheim California and was total Neptunian – Sun/Neptune/Mercury/Venus close conj in Scorp trine Chiron/Saturn and Lillith in pisces opposite Pluto/Mars/Uranus conj in Virgo trine Moon in Cap. His NN was Taurus. His natal chart is quite harmonious with no squares and heaps of trines and sextiles.

    When he died on 29 May 1997 his progressed moon was conj transiting Moon in Pisces and transiting Jupiter in Aqua was square his Scorp stellium. Transiting Uranus in opposition to his natal Jupiter in Leo. Transiting Sun in Gem opp transitting Pluto in Sagg. It would be great to have a birth time.

    And he died by drowning – Neptunian. Such a waste.

      thanks for posting that. I was wondering were his Neptune was after your comment below.

      I was absolutely blessed to have seen him when he first toured in Oz back in 1995. Best concert i have EVER been to (and i’ve been to many). Usually after concerts peeps walk out talking and raving about how great it all was but not after this concert… everyone was speechless. I’m not kidding… total silence. Like they had just witnessed god on stage…. or something magical at least. Very neptunian indeed.

      died by drowning… i know… such a waste.

        I sadly wasn’t aware of him in 1995, you are very lucky to have had that experience. In pictures of him he has soulful scorp/neptune brown eyes you feel you could drown in but it is music – words can’t describe – sublime.

            Strangely I read in today’s paper that they are doing a movie about his life. It will be overseen by his mother Mary Guibert and actors Jared Leto, James Franco, Robert Pattinson and James Marsden are interested. It would be a very difficult role to get right. I agree Uber about Hallelujah – it would have to be my all time favourite song.

    For the role of Jeff Buckley, my money is on Rob Pattinson. He has Sun/Merc in Taurus trine Mars in Cap sextile Jupiter in Pisces trine Moon in Kataka. Lots of earth and water like JB. He is a musician at heart with a soulful music style. I think he could carry it off, and with Mars in Capricorn he wouldn’t be happy with anything less than perfection.
