Transiting Neptune is in the sign of Pisces until April of 2025 after which it moves into Aries and no longer returns to the sign Pisces due to retrograde motion. In its own sign, Neptune’s energies are tied to our search for our spiritual connectedness, our psychic potential and our intuitive feedback. Neptune is closely connected with our mystical journey; and when in Pisces, opportunity awaits those that are in search of this fulfilling energy. As this post is written in March of 2020, a sextile from transiting Neptune to natal Mars would define Mars’ placement in an earth sign, either Capricorn or Taurus. The closer this aspect is to being direct (exactly 60 degrees) the more powerful the energies that will be felt. Check you chart to see if this aspect is affecting you personally. Mars is our driving force and is known to be aggressive in its expression. It pushes us ahead in our quest, whatever that may be and in some cases has to do with willful action. Both placements (Taurus and Capricorn) suggest that the drive has to do with what could be called reality, perhaps in material terms, but the search is for tangible outcomes whatever it may be. We seek out something that can be relied upon, something concrete and stable, and Neptune on the other hand is pretty much anything but that. Neptune is illusory and often vague in its expression. Neptune has to do with insight and the intangible. Put the two together and we come up with a search for or the pursuit of something that is out of the so called normal realm of existence, something that, if pursued, can become more solidified and reliable. For those in search of mystical insight, opportunities await and the likelihood of concrete realizations is at hand. Neptune is often an enlightening experience when it touches our natal planetary placements after the fog clears. Neptune is illusive in nature and very difficult to analyse in terms of perceivable stabilizing realizations, but this may and can be observed on some level during its sextile to Mars in the earth signs. Sometimes under this influence we can experience revelations of truth, tangible truth connected to the mystical side of life, not just through the unconscious mind but also through conscious realizations. This would be a good time for those who consider the mystical realm suitable for their evolutionary growth and sextiles imply opportunities. It will likely be up to us whether we actually pursue this or not. Sometimes these opportunities just fall into our lap and other times we need to give ourselves a push to realize them. Mars can now provide that push. Check to see the position of transiting Neptune, natal Mars and also Natal Neptune by house and also by aspect from other natal and transiting positions to get a clear of what opportunities are in store. Houses are areas of life and aspects from planets and angles will define how the energies are release and what other energies are in play. Enjoy this opportunity of realization and make the best of these energies if this aspect is in your chart. It will likely unfold in unconscious terms initially and then become conscious.

Neptune often has a spiritual link while transiting through the chart. It can also be quite illusive and can create illusionary thoughts and perceptions when in line with Mercury, particularly when making a square aspect. Again, as mentioned, however, it often has some type of link to spirituality and this is particularly so if it is in the sign of Pisces. If you are currently experiencing the transit we are focusing on today (Transiting Neptune square natal Mercury) in your personal Astrology chart be sure to have a look at the overall condition of the other transits and progressions before coming to a conclusion on this aspect. Remember to check the house position of transiting Neptune, the house position of natal Mercury and also the house position of natal Neptune and the aspects to it. This will provide you with a full interpretation of what might unfold while Neptune is activated. The energies of a square between Neptune and Mercury often point towards a misunderstanding or an inability to communicate clearly. Your verbal expression and communicative skills will not be clear and others may have a difficult time understanding what it is you are trying to convey. If your conversation is about intuitive and psychic experiences, however, or if you are looking for information in these areas, you will be able to find quality information. Your inner, intuitive self might understand the material better than your conscious self at this time. Even if the conscious self does not understand what is being presented, the information will be retained and perhaps when needed, will resurface and provide you with some needed insight or guidance. It is best to hold off on decisions of significant matters while experiencing the influence of this aspect, such as signing documents, purchasing property or being involved with anything legal, if at all possible. Neptune is more concerned with spiritual matters and the mundane world around you may not hold your interest or this lack of interest can cause issues later. Under this influence, your mind may shift or you may lose track or spend time worrying about making the right decisions. It is advisable to reach out for help from someone you trust before signing any documents if you are obligated to do so and even under these conditions, there is still the chance that there can be mistakes made. Often times, we tend to worry too much about issues that in reality are not even significant. There is the potential of being deceived by others. As a result, be careful with whom you express yourself to and whom you place your trust in. The mind tends to be unclear and may wonder, worry and experience fear with issues that have simply been blown out of proportion. You would do well to wait for the fog to clear. Clear sight and understanding will afford you the ability to handle things with an insight into what is actually taking place. Under harsh conditions especially if Uranus or Pluto are somehow part of the equation, you may need outside assistance as transformations and changes of an unusual sort might be part of the process and this will make things even more unclear. Professional help is suggested particularly if the twelfth house is involved or possibly the eighth house, although the eighth may be linked closer to the occult teaching and also joint finances or matters connected with legacies or inheritances. Be sure to have the full picture and do not allow yourself to be deceived by what appears to be truth. Sometimes truth can be camouflaged or hidden in some way.

Without life’s main ingredient nothing would hold much significance. What is this main ingredient? Love, of course! This is our foundation. This is where we draw all of our energies from. Without love, what can we accomplish? What could we enjoy or how would we endure? Everything begins here. No matter what we try to accomplish in our life, we need to come from a place of love. When our actions stems from the heart, we are capable of moving mountains. Share love with family, whether biological or chosen, even strangers you meet along the way. Share love even now from isolation. Allow love to intertwine into everything you do. Does it not begin with you? Love yourself first and everything else falls into place. If you cannot love yourself, you have placed your focus in all of the wrong places. Love is within each of us and is available to all of us. Love has never been lost. You have been lost as you are not recognizing its presence within you. Love is where we have come from and it will be where we return. When our minds say we will never find love, recognize that this is coming from ego not from truth. You are the one deserving love and you are the one that will share love once you allow it.

Transiting Jupiter sextile transiting Neptune, although it has been in place since February 2020, deserves further mention. Jupiter and Neptune are in sextile to one another almost to the end of 2020 and have strong links in February (direct February 20), in July (direct July 27) and October (direct October 12). Don’t forget this transit is in place for everyone and can also be used in mundane astrology. You will have to check your birth chart to see at which degrees these planets affect your natal placements and also by what aspects. Check also the house positions involved for further information. They are tightly linked from 18-20 degrees, Jupiter in Capricorn and Neptune in Pisces. Jupiter expands on things and brings great growth potential. Jupiter is also linked to good luck, good fortune, fortunate possibilities and in general all things good. Jupiter’s negative expression is over the top expectations, over doing, overly optimistic anticipations and excessive growth. Neptune has to do with spiritual insight, mystical unfolding and psychic potential. Neptune in its negative form deals with fogginess and things being unclear or the desire to escape anything that is intrusive or unfiltered in negative terms. These two transiting planets are linked by a sextile indicating opportunities for spiritual growth, expansive understanding into the mystical side of life and optimism with regards to higher learning and growth potential in these areas of life. Sextile’s energies in some cases fall into your lap. In this case, this may also be tied to growth and opportunities tied to success, whatever that means to you due to Jupiter being in Capricorn. At other times sextiles need a push from you and it is suggested that rather than wait on an opportunity to fall into your lap that you promote yourself and push to achieve what you would like to see in the near future. Good luck and good fortune is part of the picture if these planets link up favourably to your natal placements. Even if they are somewhat challenged in your chart, you can always work towards learning something of relevance during the upcoming year. If you happen to have a conjunction, trine or sextile to one of these placements or favourable aspects to both of these positions, you can push ahead in your endeavours now and create something viable down the road or even in this moment. If you have Squares or oppositions to these placement then it may take some work to achieve what you set out to do, but you should always keep pushing even when there are obstacles in the way. The worst you can do is fail or fall short and then this is when valuable lessons are experienced. We should understand that growth comes in many shapes and forms and are not always easily recognized as such initially.

We are taking our focus away from the Covid 19. We want to focus on life in general and give you some food for thought because most of us have time to do a little self-study currently. With this in mind, enjoy the read. Do you choose to remain in the shadow of your former self, or will you rise to each occasion as they present themselves? Will you put forth whatever effort is required in order to fulfill or meet your own personal dreams? Your life is a reflection of what you believe is attainable. It is a reflection of where you place your expectations, beliefs and focus. What are your limitations, if any? Do these limitations stem from outside of self or are the due to your thoughts? Are your goals within your reach or have you placed limitations on yourself or your abilities? Have you erected barriers to stop yourself from reaching your goals because of conscious or unconscious reasons? Your thoughts and attitudes can be your catalyst or they can be your barriers. Your thoughts of barriers and lack of self-worth are what stand in the way. You are not at the mercy of others unless you allow this. You always have command of your attitude and outlook. Your life is meant to be lived from the highest vantage point possible. It is our thoughts that alter our direction, because we own each thought and believe it to be real. We are not our thoughts. We are not our bodies. We are not our experiences. Following our beliefs blindly is a choice. We are the one that dwells within. We are the energy that listens to the busy mind. We are the one who is connected to Source energy. At our fingertips, we always have what we need for this moment. Step forward. Look within and reacquaint yourself with you.

The Sun and Moon align on March 24, 2020, at 5:29 EDT. This conjunction between the Sun and the Moon, better known as the New Moon, is in the sign of Aries at 4 degrees. The New Moon’s energies are perfect for planting seeds in the garden of life. The more we cultivate and nurture these seeds, the greater the potential for harvest particularly when we have our Full Moon (Aries) in the same sign some six months from now. Aries is a perfect sign for beginnings and moving ahead full steam towards our objectives. The only possible set back may be that we do not plan enough and therefore make mistakes along the way. As you are planning to pursue a goal under this influence, make sure that you are fully prepared before you set things in motion. Also expect some changes along the way. Aries is a pioneering sign and wants to be the first one to push ahead. These individuals need no assistance and are quite willing to go it alone, depending on their resources. Aries, ruled by the planet Mars, can be aggressive in its pursuit and needs to cultivate patience, but can move mountains if it so desires. Action is a prerequisite at this time although as mentioned planning is also important. If you have a planet within three degrees of this placement (4 degrees) and in major aspect (conjunction, sextile, square, trine or opposition) it will have a more powerful influence in your life than if you have no planets near this degree. The closer to exact the degree is, the stronger the influence will be. Check the houses involved as this will be the area (s) of life involved in the equation and also look into the aspects from planets as this will determine how the energies will played out. Your plan of action should be soon; don’t wait too long. Those that are unsure or concerned about the outcome with justifiable reasons perhaps should not take action at this time. But don’t let negativity stand in the way of progress. Due to the higher degree of uncertainty at this time especially related to business and finances, it might be wise to temper down your goals at this time. These are uncertain times, although it has been predicted that once the virus has subsides there will likely be a surge of activity. If your plans are well thought out, you may enjoy some favourable results as long as there are other indicators in the chart. Patience in general under our current circumstances is certainly suggested. Stay true to your beliefs and know that better times are just around the corner. Aries’ energies are favourable for intent and strength. If we take the time to do the prep work and think things out rationally, we will find our way through. Indictors are in place for a brighter future. Believe!

Just before midnight last night, we experienced the Spring vernal equinox (Ostra). This was a little earlier than normal but no matter what its timing was, it bares the balance of light and dark. There is a promise of renewal and a fresh start. This is a time for new beginnings and refreshing that which has gone stagnant. Our world and our lives shed their wintery veil. Light shines forth and there is a promise of longer, brighter days. Eventually sprouts begin to push their way through the earth, trees begin to bud, the grass greens, snow flakes transform to raindrops and the promise of flowers show their colour in the buds. Even without the telltale signs of nature, we know in our heart renewal is coming. Beyond the feeling in our hearts, in a more intangible ways, we feel it in the air and smell it in the wind if we take the time to place our focus on this. Along with this new life springing forth in nature, we experience the ability to have fresh starts in our lives. I realize this is a little restricted this year but this too will pass. If we allow the energies of the season to guide us instead of fear, this is a time of renewed vigor and an awakening. This can draws us nearer to the promise of warmth and sunshine in our hearts and souls not just in nature. We can mirror and utilize the energy brought on through the changing of the seasons to stimulate us and push us in our pursuits, new or old. A new beginning is at hand. This is a new start and it brings with it the promise of the growth of our inner, core self, due to the seeds we are now planting. This is the time to renew our motivation, to push ahead in our pursuits and find outlets which can help us renew our commitment to ourselves for further growth, expansion and evolution. Our social restrictions have actually offered us the time and space to do this. We may find that we now can push ahead more willingly in our endeavours, particularly those that we had allowed to slip during the winter. We may find that this renewed vigor propels us into new-found areas that may not have been available before this time. It is really up to each of us as to what we plan on doing with this energy and whether we utilize it or if we waste it. Mirror the season and take advantage of the energies at hand. Move ahead into the new. Reach beyond any limits we may have placed on ourselves. The only thing that is holding us back is us. We are our own motivation or our own stagnation. Growth and advancement are at hand. What can be accomplished with these energies? Nature is offering you something fresh and new to focus on. Nature has provided us with hope and renewal. Let’s move beyond the stress, embrace the restrictions we are experiencing to eliminate stress and use this time of isolation as a bonus opportunity for self-work, self-exploration and self-expansion. Nurture your seeds of hope!

Amid the very real concerns spreading worldwide, we still need, above all else, release from our worries and a focused on and control of our reactions. We are witnessing a very high level of anxiety which if unchecked can also affect us personally. Step back for a moment, and examine your true concerns. Recognize that, although this is a concerning outbreak, our attitude still holds powerful ramifications to our overall well-being. We can spend countless hours, days and weeks worried about how this will affect our loved ones and ourselves, but in reality what does worry do except rob us of enjoying this moment?. By running with fear, we are packaging ourselves into this predicament and spreading even more worry to each and every person we contact. We are not suggesting that we should be lax and not be mindful of what we are doing and how we are doing it but with our evolving recognition of the importance of our thought processing and how our thoughts create our reality, how can fear serve us? Each of us, in differing ways, will be affected by this virus, but worry and anxiety will not change things for the better. Accepting life as it comes and knowing we influence the outcome of our experience by our reaction, we can move forward with purpose. Our life’s mission and experiences are as they should be. Our judgement of the experience is what adds extra burden. Anxiety and fear are each a virus in themselves. We can create calm in the midst of dismay. A gentle reaffirmation of love will go a long way. Do not forget your place in this evolving story and live your part by being the agent of change and love as you see fit. Stand tall at the gates of adversity and cast your loving light in today’s dark corners.

The Sun moves into the cardinal, fire sign of Aries on March 19, 2020 at approximately 11:51 p.m. EDT. Aries has been linked to enthusiasm, aggressive action and a strong push to move in a direction that can open doors for advancement or personal gain. Many Aries have a “me-first” attitude. Many Arians recognize that we can’t help others until we help our self. If the push is just for themselves however and without concern for others, they may be working from the wrong end of what Aries is here to accomplish. Fire signs, under normal conditions (depending on other influences in the birth chart), have a lot of energy and are self-driven. Aries wants to be the first one to move ahead and because of this will learn through experience. These individuals will make their fair share of mistakes which will require corrections along the road of life. These can be very valuable lessons. Aries can be a little too pushy at times, but they do feel they know what is best for whoever is in their focus especially when it comes to something they believe in. Some Arians can develop ego issues if they don’t curb their enthusiasm into channels that also benefit others. Aries individuals are the initiators and many would do well being self-employed. They are not followers; they are leaders. It is important for Arians to think things out a little longer before they plunge headfirst into a course of action. They will make fewer mistakes along the way; but if they fall short, it may be because they struggle somewhat with staying power. They can quickly move on to something else but also pick up the pieces and recover quickly from any past miscalculations that they may have made. Currently, those with their Sun in Aries in and around the 23 to 24 degrees will be experiencing a tight square to the Pluto. Pluto is the agent of change and transforms structures so that something new will emerge from the ashes of what is no longer viable. There are no halfway measures about Pluto and in many cases things come to an abrupt end before something more viable can make its way forward. The Sun is our inner self. Our goals and aspirations are often tied to the Sun sign and house position. Much will depend on the house position of your Sun and its square coming from Pluto, but any Arians with this aspect can expect goals to undergo major transformations which are often slow to begin and slowly unfold over time. Often we do not fully comprehend what is taking place and the why behind it until a year or so after the fact. If Pluto is found on the DC, this often signals an end to an important relationship or the beginning of a new one. This is usually tied to a marriage partner or close business associate. Much will also depend on what other factors in the birth chart are attached to the natal positioning of the Sun. If it is poorly aspected then the transformation and regeneration can become quite challenging and some need to reach out for professional assistance under this influence. However we should also recognize that regardless of what takes place, changes (and often total transformation) are a requirement sent from higher purposes. Squares are difficult but on the plus side they will force us into action; action that is required. Those Arians with their Sun in the early degrees of Aries will be experiencing the sextile from transiting Saturn. Saturn is the teacher of the Zodiac and when Pluto and Saturn were in conjunction in January/February of 2020, individuals with their Sun at around the 23 degrees of Aries will have experienced the square from both planets. This would have been an intense time indeed. Now, however, and until June 2020, those individuals with their Sun in the early degrees will be enjoying this sextile which often points to opportunities coming their way. However, these Arians will always have to do some work (and be diligent in their efforts) if they want to succeed. Saturn’s requirements are hard work and a disciplined effort. Always use the energies at hand in the best possible manner in order to create the best possible outcomes. Do not squander the energies at hand.

It is important to stand by our convictions and to live life listening to our hearts. There are always choices for us to make along our journey yet there is a purpose to fulfill and changing this ultimate purpose, we believe is virtually impossible. This important issue or purpose is believed to form the overall lesson we are meant to learn. Adjustments to the journey are constant and often we do not recognize the path before us. We make modifications as we see fit and do what we feel is best. It IS important to follow what we feel is best and to do our best as we continue forward. We are human but we cannot use that as an excuse to be lazy or lackadaisical. We can and will make slip-ups along the road, but we can always pick ourselves up and continue on. Most “slip-ups” contain lessons that are invaluable. What others think of our path and our life’s expression is of no concern to us as that is a reflection of their opinion not a reflection of who we are. Of course, we must never injure others in any way intentionally. Our effort and what we think of ourselves is what is of utmost importance. During self-evaluation, it is important to recognize when ego is unleashing its negative or egotistical opinion. This again is not us. We are sparks of the source. We should never identify with ego’s ranting. If we see something within that does not suit who we feel we are, we simply do not call it our own. Recognize it only as a learned tool and then release it. Our belief structures and our expectations form our reality. If we refocus our thoughts, we change our course and this can be done at any given moment. We are not suggesting denial. Recognise, accept and release. The shift can be permanent and extremely positive. Life will always have its trials and tribulations (because we are here to learn). We can learn from anything that comes our way as long as we maintain a positive attitude. Once we have learned the life lesson, move forward. Are you giving it your best?

Ceres is an asteroid which is found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Its main influence in Astrology focuses on nurturing and protection, but has also been known to be connected to anguish and grief. Some individuals suggest that Ceres is connected to loss and that people will go to great lengths to regain what was once lost even if it means discarding anything that gets in their way of this recovery. The problem is sometimes we cannot regain what is lost. This is where the nurturing instinct and protection influences may surface with someone who has lost something important to them or in direct relationship to “something” that has been physically lost to them. The placement of Ceres by sign and house position will define what area of life needs nurturing and in what manner this nurturing can take place. A couple of examples might help. We will use both the sign and the house placement for clarity. If, for example, Ceres were found in the sign of Aries, what this individual needs and wants to give would be self-regulated. They would work diligently driving themselves, sometimes using force, to achieve their objectives. Action is what is needed and if for example this were in the third house, their needs and wants may involve their siblings or even neighbours. A great way to help heal or nurture that which needs to be nurtured would be through communicative techniques with this example house placement. With our example, the intellect would play a significant role in what unfolds. They would feel as though it would be up to them to move ahead and their priority may be to nurture what suits them or push for nurturing those siblings, but this individual would want to be the forerunner in what takes place. Another example may be Ceres in the sign of Leo. These individuals would really appreciate attention and even admiration if it goes to the extreme. Above all with this example, these individuals would like respect and to be noticed for what they do even if the actions were being carried out for someone else. They would want to control the situation but would have strong consideration for what the other person may want. If Ceres happened to be in the fifth house with our Leo example, the focus may involve a romantic partnership or their children. Enjoyment and experiencing life would be strong points with this placement and living life to the fullest would help in the healing process. Let’s look at one more example. Let’s say that this last example, the individual has a Scorpio Ceres in the 12th house. This individual may need healing through acts connected to sexual expression or through internal integration and eventual transformation. There would be a need or deep understanding of the mystical or spiritual side of life and a strong want for full understanding of these subjects. Anything mysterious would open doors to eventual healing through deep self-study or a strong push to help others through their own methods of self-study revealing anything that needs to surface. This in turn would lead to healing deep integrated wounds. Due to this placement of Ceres being in the twelfth house with this last example, this individual may work behind closed doors or undercover in some manner, as this work could be secretive or subdued in some way. They may work in hospitals or prisons or work as a volunteer for the underdog. With this placement, they may use their own understanding of what needs healing in others because they have lived under similar conditions themselves (knowledge through direct experience). There is a strong need for healing and also to be the healing agent when it comes to Ceres in the Astrology chart. It is a mothering influence and some say it is connected to the sign Virgo with Venus having rulership. So Venus in the sign of Virgo suits this asteroid (which is also known as a dwarf planet).
