\"lost<\/a>Losing all sense of time and space can be a welcome and necessary reprieve for the busy-ness of our material world.\u00a0 Staring at the ceiling for hours can be therapeutic for someone who needs to reflect, slow down and inwardly process, as can losing one\u2019s self in the inner world of our emotions, fantasies, dreams.\u00a0 After a stressful experience, most of us need the healing power of Neptune’s sleep – we need to leave our earthbound consciousness behind for a while. We all need to dip into Neptune\u2019s waters of \u201cjust being\u201d from time to time, as a measure to the time we spend doing. We all need to dip into our Soul, if only to remind our Self that we are an Eternal Soul.<\/p>\n

Yet as with all archetypes, Neptune can be as much friend as foe, and we humans have free will to do as we please with our\u00a0Neptune. \u00a0<\/span>One person has a spiritual practice and it nourishes the rest of their life; another has a spiritual practice and it becomes a way of avoiding life. \u201cDon\u2019t bother me, I\u2019m meditating!\u201d screams the \u201cevolved\u201d Buddhist practitioner, to his family. One person calms the stress of their life with long walks in Nature, joking to friends, \u201cI don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do without my walks. They help me to let go.\u201d Another person goes to the bar after work to let off steam, saying similarly, \u201cCocktails help me let go of all the stress I have\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a dark side to Neptune, and because it can be so damaging\u00a0it is darker than noir fiction. Dark Neptune always strikes when you\u2019re no longer paying attention, or you’re focused on the wrong thing. Laziness, unconsciousness, avoidance of reality, over-focusing on one (chaos-causing) area of life to the exclusion of your whole life, all create the perfect Neptunian cocktail for stealing your life away. Dark Neptune lulls us into an inner lassitude about the practical realities we\u2019re neglecting: the fact that we \u201cforgot\u201d to pay the electric bill, again, or the fact that we missed another AA meeting. Maybe we \u201clet go\u201d of a partners\u2019 verbal abuse over and over again because doing the work of relationship is new and scary. Under the spell of Dark Neptune we can develop a permanent sense of detachment from life -and the problem-solving that reality requires of us, to help us grow and evolve. Comfortably numb, we \u201cforget\u201d or passively neglect to fully inhabit our own lives. We become a ghost – no one is home inside.<\/p>\n

The bright side of Neptune teaches principles of letting go, too, though quite differently. It expands our sense of consciousness, through the unifying power of unconditional love, and through experiences where our hands are so tied we can only help our self through embodying forgiveness, self-acceptance, faith. Neptune teaches the spiritual principles that are so hard to master, like \u201cdon\u2019t sweat the small stuff\u201d and \u201clove knows no enemy.\u201d Bright Neptune asks us to dig deep for the spiritual truths that resonate with our very core being and then to trust in those, to put our faith in what we can\u2019t prove but we know to be true.<\/p>\n

Neptune is moving retrograde at 5-6 Pisces on 6\/7\/13 at 1:26 AM PT.\u00a0When a planet stations retrograde, it\u2019s at its strongest. Wherever you are in your personal evolution, your relationship with Neptune will be under scrutiny, under a close microscope, right now. As a client said to me just this morning, through her tears, \u00a0\u201cJessica, I think I\u2019ve been asleep for years.\u201d Yes. Neptune retrograde-station can bring us these potent moments of potent self-realisation and insight. It\u2019s the perfect time for waking up.<\/p>\n

Two paths, one planet. How well are you doing with Neptune in your life?<\/p>\n
