  • Sun in Gemini trine the Aquarius South Node/sextile the Leo North Node: 26 degrees
  • Neptune in Pisces stations Rx: 14 degrees
  • Neptune Rx in Pisces sextile Juno in Capricorn: 14 degrees

The Sun aspecting the Nodes enables progress. Ideas/communication are the vehicles that allow you to work with what’s on the fringe (Aquarius). Choose (Gemini) to bring it into the centre (Leo North Node – ruled by the Sun). Make it your centre, or put it in the spotlight. Draw attention and passion to what you’ve been detached from. 

This influence is very subtle. You may not feel it at all, unless you have something in your natal chart at 26 degrees Leo, Aquarius or Gemini. 

Neptune Rx is another easy-to-miss influence. Yet it’s significant, although you may not realize what’s happening until it’s over. As Neptune backtracks from 14 to 11 degrees Pisces (stationing direct on November 22nd) dissolution, disillusionment and questions of belief will intensify. The goal is to release lies, illusions and limits. Think of this Rx as an intensified wave – what remains after it’s passed will be the truth. 

Neptune Rx will make a harmonious sextile to Juno Rx in Capricorn. Two retrogrades strongly point to a review. In this case, it could be about the status of a partnership agreement or commitment. But a sextile from Neptune is so gentle, and this aspect is actually part of a larger influence. Neptune first made a sextile to Juno on March 21st, and will do so again, on October 24th (when Juno is direct). So this has been gradually developing since March 21st – a very subtle expansion of the limits/rules in a partnership. The review could manifest as questions you didn’t realize you had – going back to reconsider. But this should be positive, as the questions will simplify existing issues.

Yes, Neptune is about simplification. What’s false or invalid is taken away (Neptune is associated with loss). You release useless restrictions or guilt. Sometimes you have to experience an illusion, first. But eventually, that bubble bursts. In the end, all that’s left is the truth. 

Neptune Rx is a concentrated form of simplification. 

 

Astrology of Now: On Such A Full Sea

“There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when it serves, Or lose our ventures.” Julius Caesar, Act IV, Scene 3 We are at an unusual astrological point right now. The two rulers of watery Pisces  — Jupiter and Neptune — are standing (apparently) almost still in the sky — one just turned direct and one to reverse next week. Jupiter also rules the sign […]

March 1st, 2017: Relax

  • Sun conjunct Neptune in Pisces: 11 degrees
  • Vesta Rx in Cancer trine Pallas in Pisces: 20 degrees
  • Juno in Capricorn trine Ceres in Taurus: 7 degrees

The Sun’s light is diffused through Neptune’s dreams and compassion. A wish could be ignited, or inspiration could wash over you. Sensitivity is heightened, along with the awareness of loss and unreachable goals. But this could also be a time of deep calm, as you let go of all the things you can’t control.

Vesta focuses Pallas’ wisdom, helping you integrate strategies into an emotional area. Rather than rigidly fixating on what you need/what you’re missing, you can apply creative ideas. Issues with family, children or food may be favourably impacted. 

Juno/Ceres favours the nurturing of solid commitments. There’s steady growth of defined agreements about fidelity and the exchange of power. This influence supports relationships where both partners are comfortable with the rules. 

Nothing can be forced today. Neptune dissolves the Sun’s conscious focus, refracting it in odd directions. You probably won’t have control over events, but the trines between the asteroids say that’s ok. Trines indicate a natural progression. Relax, and follow the path of least resistance.
