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.

SUN IN CANCER 2024

The Sun moves from the Mutable, Air sign of Gemini into the Cardinal, Water sign of Cancer on June 20, 2024.  This is a huge transitional position when you think of the personalities involved.  Gemini is inquisitive and thinking and very much into communication, while Cancer is emotional, sensitive and very much into feeling.  The senses are open and operating at full capacity when we speak of the sign Cancer.

Those individuals that are born on the cusp of Cancer and Gemini will share some of each sign’s character traits; while the deeper we go into the sign of Cancer, the more the qualities of Cancer become apparent. 

The Sun has an orb of influence of 16°.  There will be individuals that have other indicators within the framework of their chart that puts emphasis on different signs and the Cancer traits may not shine through (as with any sign).  Much depends on the overall picture of the natal or birth chart. 

An example, someone who has their Sun in the very early degrees of Cancer (therefore having some Gemini traits) may also have Mercury and Venus in Gemini and the rising sign of Gemini. All of these planets in Gemini emphasize the Geminian traits but being in the first house (with Gemini rising) ignites Aries tendencies as well because the first house is naturally ruled by Aries.

Sun in Cancer

Those with their Sun in Cancer, the rising sign of Cancer or an emphasis of the fourth house will share some of these traits that we are about to discuss.  The Sun sign is always tied to who we are on an internal level, the rising sign is the way we represent ourselves especially when we first meet people, and the fourth house will have some traits similar to Cancer’s and much will depend on the planets found in this house as to how these energies and traits play out.

Cancer is a sensitive sign, emotionally driven and has strong nurturing tendencies.  Family and the family of friends are important factors in their lives.  Cancer individuals would likely consider themselves homebodies and their home environment needs to be peaceful and comfortable as this is where they can recharge their emotional batteries.  They are often quite affected by their surrounding and some take on the energies of others, so they need a place where they can unleash and rewind.

Cancerians can be action oriented and restless under the right conditions but also prefer to sit in comfort and watch TV or settle into gentle conversation with those that matter.  Their children and often their parents play an important part in their lives. Being a mothering type, Cancerians would like to help where they can.  They feel deeply and have a hard time keeping emotion inside although their symbol, the crab, can put up defense by going within the protective shell.  They are more sensitive than they would like to admit.  Some see their emotions as a vulnerability and do their best to show strength by hiding their emotions somewhat, but this can also be quite difficult.  Emotion is a virtue not a vice.  As much as they need to nurture, they also need nurturing themselves.

Heritage and the past are important to a typical Cancerian and their memory is usually quite factual as they remember more than most.  They are also very much into cooking, at least most of them, and they can be quite the master chef.  Some are also into antiques and have a close tie with the past. 

When emotionally hurt, Cancerians don’t forget.  Hurt runs deep and although they try to hide it, they hold on for far too long.  It is not that they can’t forgive but emotional hurt takes a long time to heal.

Many Cancerians are kind, gentle individuals that will do almost anything for you.  They are a friend that you can rely on, but stand on the wrong side of their temperament and you may not remain a friend for too long.  As they mature into themselves, they often learn to curb their emotion or at least try to accomplish this.

Cancer individuals should recognize that their emotional response is a strength and not a hinderance.

Happy solar return to our Sun in Cancer readers!

NEPTUNE SEXTILE NATAL IC

Transiting Neptune Sextile Natal IC

As transiting Neptune ever so slowly makes its way through the Zodiac, it manifests itself through different channels because of its illusive behavior. Neptune is a mysterious planet and is connected to mysticism, psychic interaction, intuitive perception as well as illusions, cloudiness with perception and the wish to evade all conflict. Neptune can also be associated with acting, musical abilities, dance and in many cases, things associated with the oceans or waterways.

The IC is always opposite the MC exact to the degree and minute.  Therefore, when the IC is in aspect to a transiting planet, we also need to take into consideration what aspect that particular planet will be making to the MC. 

The Sextiles aspect is considered favorable and is associated with easy flow and opportunities, but these opportunities need to be taken advantage of for the energies to fully manifest themselves, if at all. The Sextile requires the receiver to work with the energies.

The IC is associated with the home and family and our heritage. When Neptune makes its positive sextile aspect to this position, the opportunities for changes to take place within the home front will be activated. Perhaps the home goes through changes that are now more in line with what you believe in or you require, such as setting up an area for meditation or changing the furniture so it is more appealing, balanced and/or comfortable. Perhaps you want to make a part of your home like a little retreat where you can go or where others can go to find peace and tranquility. 

On a deeper level, which is usually the way Neptune operates, you may find a deeper connection to family members especially if the seventh or fifth house is connected in some way. You may find that it is as if you know what they are thinking or how they are feeling and would really want to assist in some way, especially if there are challenges taking hold. Mental confusion within the family unit may be part of this picture.

The family connection tends to run deeper during this connection to the IC and those you consider your family of friends might also be included in this energy, especially if the eleventh house is affected in the chart.  Things might also surface from the past or from the family heritage that can be used or filtered through to get a deeper understanding of where you have come from.  There may be something you uncover that is quite beneficial to you and your family at this time.

If there are opportunities that present themselves, be sure to take advantage of the energy at hand. This placement does not occur often.  Of course, much depends on the other aspects making contact in your chart at the same time that Neptune sextiles your natal IC.
