Holm Astrology has been creating "Astrology" and "Food For Thought" posts for over 10 years.  Wix has taken over the Vista Print websites and as a result of the migration of our information, a large portion of our blog posts are currently lost. 

 

We realize our Astrology posts are vital to our students. 

 

If you do not find what you are looking for on this Blog page, please visit www.holmastrology.blogspot.com/ where you will find our missing blog posts.  There are over 2,660 posts pre September, 2023.

We apologize for the inconvenience but it is worth the jump over to our blogspot.

As Transiting Neptune takes about 14 years to move through one sign and is in retrograde for about 6 months each year, when it does make a sextile to your Natal Sun, it should be a time when you pay attention to what is taking hold in your life.  At the time of this post, Neptune is in the final degrees of Pisces and almost moved into the sign of Aries but went into retrograde on July 1, 2024. Neptune moves into Aries in March, 2025 and returns into the sign of Pisces in October, 2025. By January, 2026, it remains in the sign of Aries not to return to Pisces.



Again, Transiting Neptune sextile Natal Sun can be a time of healing for both the mind and the body.  Take action and make things happen. Don’t waste the energies
Neptune Sextile Natal Sun

Sextiles offer opportunities in life and when connected from Neptune to the Sun, there can be either have positive or negative ramifications. Much will depend on your attitude and the Natal positioning of your Sun and Neptune.  If you have always felt a lack of self-esteem and self-confidence, this can be the time to become realistic with your view of yourself.  Watch for disillusion if your Sun is poorly aspected. With a poorly aspected Sun, you may not be seeing things as they truly are. Neptune sextile Natal Sun can assist you in rising above intrusive elements connected with self-deception. 

 

Your sense of compassion can be heightened during this aspect so why not direct this compassion at yourself?

 

This can be a time of healing for both the mind and the body.  Meditate to help stir up self-confidence.  Reach out for guidance.

 

You likely will have more psychic awareness during this alignment.  You have greater insight, and your intuitive faculties are enhanced.  All your senses are tuned in, and you can mediate and be creative to find solutions that have been hidden to you up until this time. You must have faith in the process and believe.

 

Your compassion and sensitivity can also be heightened under this aspect. You may want to help those less fortunate than yourself. 

 

Your imagination and creative outlets are also heightened and now can be the time to advance with these innate character traits. 

 

Those that are musically inclined or are connected to acting may find that there seems to be a greater sense of accomplishment with this aspect. 

 

The energies of Transiting Neptune making a sextile to your Sun can last up to two years.  You have time to build on this opportunity but sextiles imply that you will have to advance your personal cause or objectives and do the work so that the potential can manifestation. 

 

Again, Transiting Neptune sextile Natal Sun can be a time of healing for both the mind and the body.  Take action and make things happen. Don’t waste the energies

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.

 


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 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.

Here is our Cancer mini forecast for 2024. Read our post for Sun in Cancer here.

 


We will have a look at the Sun in the sign of Cancer and the effects that Neptune and Saturn might have on those affected by these placements during 2024.  Saturn and Neptune carry very different energies.  Saturn has to do with focus on reality & is practical, responsible & buildings structure.  Neptune has to do with the spiritual realm, artistic abilities & those things that are deemed supernatural.
Cancer Mini Forecast for 2024

We will have a look at the Sun in the sign of Cancer and the effects that Neptune and Saturn might have on those affected by these placements.  Allowing an orb of up to 7° (and there will be individuals feeling the effects of this energy before this orb), we see that Transiting Saturn will move into retrograde on the June 28 and Transiting Neptune, already in its retrograde cycle, will move back into the sign of Capricorn early in September, 2024.

 

Transiting Saturn will be moving from 19° down to 12° in Pisces and stay within this range until early 2025.  Neptune is in the final degrees of Pisces moving into Aries at the end of March 2025.  By reviewing these degrees, you can see if your Sun will make a trine to these planets.

 

Saturn and Neptune carry very different energies.  Saturn has to do with focus on reality, with our feet firmly planted on the ground. It is practical and has to do with responsibility and the building of structure. 

 

Neptune, on the other hand, has to do with the spiritual realm, artistic abilities and those things that are deemed supernatural.  It also has to do with the escape of reality, illusions and vagueness.

 

The trine of Cancer Sun with Neptune can create a magical energy of spiritualization and the door opening to the psychic realm.  The creative potential can also be heightened, and Sun in Cancer may be able to visualize possibilities that to others may seem rather illusive.  Sun in Cancer’s goals may be tied to understanding what it is to be attuned to other dimensions of reality and the unseen.  It will be up to Cancerian to follow a train of thought that promotes such activity. 

 

On the other hand, Neptune and the Sun can make Sun in Cancer’s vision of the future and its life’s plans rather misleading or unrealized.  They might have trouble finding their way forward in life and may not be sure which road to take. Cancerians may be concerned that mistakes will be made along the way. 

 

Saturn, while in its retrograde cycle, works much more favorably than it does when direct.  This may be a time of stabilization and concrete results based on what Sun in Cancer individuals have in mind and where they want to go.  Their goals, although challenged, may be workable and they can reach higher than expected.  Cancerians may experience a stabilization period where they are in touch with what they want for themselves and achieve what they set out to achieve. 

 

With Saturn, this period can produce rewards for hard work and disciplined efforts, although Cancerians may find that they have more responsibility than they might want. This may result due to the Cancerian’s superiors being attuned to what the Cancerian has been putting in place over the long haul. 

 

Much will depend on how these planets are aspected in the natal chart alone with the aspects they make to the Cancer Sun. In general, the trine is a positive aspect and will promote easy flow and favourable conditions as time passes.

 

Happy solar return to our Sun in Cancer readers.  Utilize the energies available.
