AS NEPTUNE TRANSITS THROUGH THE ZODIAC

Neptune is the planet of illumination, inspiration, intuition and psychic access.  It has also been tied to ambiguity, confusion, dismay, vulnerability and not seeing things as they truly are.  Neptune is the planet of psychic awareness even under the most distressful aspects and can be illuminated but twisted when in challenging situations.  Neptune is spiritual, can be religious, and will enhance your perception and any psychic inclinations you may have.

As it makes contacts with planetary energies within the framework of your natal chart, it will illuminate the energies of the planet and merge its emeries with the planet in question, especially when a conjunction is taking hold.  In some cases, Neptune will help solve issues that have been plaguing the individual especially when aligned in positive aspect to Mercury or Jupiter. 

In contrast, if Neptune is making a hard aspect like a square or opposition to Mercury, you will want to make sure that you are not blowing things out of proportion, and you should ensure that you are seeing things as they truly are.  Help from outside sources is often suggested especially if your Natal Mercury is under stressful aspects to other planets particularly to Neptune in the birth chart.

Neptune Transits Through the Zodiac

Transiting Neptune to the Sun or your North Node can bring forward goals and your life’s path can be highly attuned to deeper insight, and assistance may surface from outside sources that you may not have deemed likely in your life.  You may have visions or dreams that can open doors that have been closed or not even apparent for many years.  Neptune can instigate psychic energies that are straight from the light and into your consciousness for the first time in your life or open channels greater than those available before this time.

As Neptune moves into Aries next year (2025) perhaps this might be a time when we move ahead with our own objectives in a more intuitive and spiritual quest and change the course of our own personal lives slowly as its energies unfold. 

Neptune also has to do with talent as it rules Pisces and the twelfth house.  Music, acting, art, etc. can become highlighted as Neptune opens pathways that have been closed prior to now.  Neptune can be magical in its delivery when well aspected to natal positions. It may bring energies you never believed could take hold in life. 

Neptune in Aries sounds personal and that is just what it is.  In the past 14-15 years, Neptune was in Pisces and what we were taught during this stay in Pisces can be used in personal terms.  This can be a time of awakening to your higher self, stimulating your intuitive faculties and bringing to life what you never deemed possible. 

Use Neptune’s energies to the best of your abilities and uncover the mysteries of life.

SOLAR ECLIPSE ARIES NEW MOON

Aries Solar Eclipse

Today, April 8, 2024, we will experience a Solar Eclipse at 3:19 p.m. EDT which will be in sign of Aries at 19°. 

Those with their luminaries (the Sun and Moon) either in Conjunction or in Opposition to this placement will be highly influenced by this alignment.  Those with other plants as well as angles influenced by this placement will also be affected.  The Conjunction and Opposition are the most powerful of aspects although the Square, Trine and Sextile will also have an influence with this Solar Eclipse.  Use no more than a 3° orb of influence when determining how this Eclipse will affect your chart.

A Solar Eclipse in Aries is all about the energies of Aries.  There will be an outpouring of energy and a need for action connected to your personal needs.  The drive will be to achieve, and you will need to move forward with confidence as this is a significant time for those being affected. 

It is a time of endings and new beginnings and if you move too quickly without due diligence, which can often be the case with an Aries influence, then you can expect to learn lessons from this but should be able to pick up the pieces if necessary and begin again if you fail with your efforts.  Do not fear failure, but make sure you make attempts to secure what is needed to meet your goals. You are being taught to overcome any fear that stands in the way.

There is the potential to generate a balance between what others may wish for and what is important to you. This is often a significant time in the lives of those who are being affected and it will be important to also look at the Natal Chart to see what else lines up at this timing.  Sometimes what has been in place, especially with the outer planets, now will manifest on some level. You have the chance to begin anew and at the same time learn valuable lessons from the steps you have already taken.

This is an important time in the lives of those that are affected by this Eclipse, and it has been said that some of the leaders that have this placement in their Natal Charts (or using mundane Astrology the alignment with the country and its leaders) will be scrutinized and dissected because of their actions. This is a testing time on a personal basis and a time of reconciliation because of actions previously taken.

For those under this influence, the Solar Eclipse Aries New Moon is the time to act and to pursue your visions with great vigor and make things happen.  Now is the time to generate what has been in place at least from a mental perspective and move forward with your objectives.  Do not jump but be certain to take action.

2024 ASPECTS FOR SUN IN ARIES

As mentioned in our Sun in Aries post on March 18, the Sun moved into the sign Aries on March 19. During the time the Sun is in Aries in 2024 (moves into Taurus on April 19) Ariens with their Sun in the mid degrees of Aries will have Sun conjunct transiting Mercury. Mercury goes retrograde on April 1 late in the evening and while Mercury is in retrograde, it is advised that you not sign agreements or set plans in motion.  Consider taking action once Mercury goes direct again on April 24.

Mercury retrograde is generally feared by many, although this is in general an unsubstantiated fear. Mercury retrograde has to have an impact in your chart (making contact with other planets in your chart. This will be a stronger energy if you are born with Mercury retrograde in your birth chart).  Mercury moves back from 23° to 16° affecting those with their Sun in these degrees. Once Mercury hits 16°, it then begins its direct motion and passes over the same degrees once again.  The second pass is when you can move ahead with your plans and the chance of disruption is much less probable.

The conjunction with Mercury and the Aries Sun brings conversation into light. It is a time when you can communicate your objectives and move forward with your plans. You can look deeper into your vision for the future and plan a course to advance in whatever direction possible. Feel free to discuss these plans with others but resist your Aries’ urge to advance without taking note of what they had to say. They may offer you advice that will prove fruitful and help with your progress forward. You don’t have to follow what they say but you should listen in case they have relevant information or advice.

Those with their Sun in the early degrees of Aries will be experiencing the sextile of transiting Pluto to their Sun, and this aspect is long lasting. Pluto moves slowly through the heavens and its transformational energies take time to unfold. Know that change is on its way. This is likely a necessary change but may not come easily. Ego disruption is common, and this can come from outside or from within. This will be an overall positive impact that reveals itself over time and provides an opportunity to make changes or to be changed by life events. These changes will open doors for self-understanding and renewal.

It is best not to fight these changes. Paddling against the current is futile with these energies. Life will take you where you need to go, and change is a requirement. You will regenerate and transform within areas that need adjustment. It will take time before you see where you are going, what lies ahead and why these changes were required.

This is just a quick touch on some of the 2024 aspects for Sun in Aries.  It is important to look at the full chart to get a clear picture of all of the energies that will affect you during the upcoming year as what we touched on may be diluted or amplified by other aspect in your chart.

Again, happy solar return to our Arian friends.  Enjoy your next trip around the sun.
