Neptune transits
There are 3 issues symbolized by Neptune that I will address using the examples submitted by readers. These issues are: 1) DISSOLUTION OF BOUNDARIES, 2) STRANGE ILLNESSES, 3) BETRAYAL, DISAPPOINTMENT or DECEPTION.
Dissolution of Boundaries
Neptune dissolves our psychological and physiological boundaries through the vehicle of confusion and ambivalence which allows us to float beyond our perceived limitations. A friend said that, when Neptune crossed her Scorpio Ascendant in the 1950s, the communist government made the decision to give Hungarians passports for the first time. By some miracle, she obtained a passport and a visa that allowed her to move to England. Because it was a frightening and heroic adventure, she could not imagine doing this at any other time in her life. Although she spoke no English, she found employment with a family who greatly abused her and her ignorance of the language. They paid her less than originally promised and they found excuses to hold back even that small amount. This was also a deception/betrayal situation that always comes under “hard” aspects1 to Neptune. Amazingly, she was able to float into another job. One day she was in the park crying. Someone approached her and offered her a good job. England is now her home. She had to be in England— Neptune, via deception— took her there. Her life has been very different from the one that she would have lived if she had remained in Hungary.
Strange Illnesses
I have observed that there are general health vulnerabilities that always accompany the Neptune transit. These are:
- Low blood calcium. In women, this can cause menstrual cramping and osteoporosis
- Low blood potassium. This is a major problem! The symptoms can easily be mistaken for other ailments— joint pain, especially in the arms and the back of the neck/shoulder area, muscle spasms and cramps, fatigue and weakness in the muscles, heart fibrillations. While liquid “K-Plus” is a powerful source of potassium-magnesium, it is very expensive ($18). Sundown sells a very inexpensive supplement called Fortified or Multi-Source Potassium for $3,
- Allergies and allergic reactions to drugs and chemicals and foods,
- Lowered metabolism and difficulty metabolizing sugars,
- High blood acidity which leaves you vulnerable to colds and flu. Alkalizing the system is helpful.
- Hormonal imbalances regardless of age,
- Adrenal depletion and endocrine problems (have your doctor conduct an all-day saliva test),
- Many complained of flabbiness and poor muscle tone, especially in the area of the body ruled by the sign being afflicted by Neptune.
- Always, the immune system is lowered. In extreme cases, this can lead to degenerative diseases. If the individual is HIV positive, strong Neptune transits can trigger full blown AIDS. Olive Leaf, Wild Oregano and Peptides help the immune system. Do ask your doctor if these would interfere with any other medications that you are taking!
On April 3, 1997, under a Neptune transit, a friend developed fibromyalgia, a very common and painful ailment that has no cure or no known cause. It is becoming so common that support groups are available —(when people feel disconnected, group involvement helps.
Most health issues are vague and undefined. Often, when the transit ends, so does the undefined health issue. Always check with your doctor to make sure that it is nothing serious but, if not, it is just the Neptune transit.
Betrayal-Disappointment-Deception
Regardless of the sign that Neptune is transiting, over the years, I have always observed this pattern of betrayal-disappointment-deception. A client with Neptune squaring his Sun asked about investing $10,000 with some friends. The entire enterprise that he described sounded highly suspicious but, under Neptune, you only see what you want to see and none of the complications— whether this is a relationship, a financial situation or a business enterprise. This man also gave me a bad check! A woman with Neptune contra-parallel her 6th House Saturn believed that her supervisor was going to promote her as promised. She felt very betrayed when the promotion went to someone else. So many times, a long term friendship ends. You are changing energetically with the Neptune transit but you do not see how this is impacting the people close to you. It just seems impossible to really see what is going on with these relationships. The delusion is based upon your expecting them to be what you want them to be…and they are not!
In 1993, I could not see the anger in those around me as I was losing weight and found a new relationship. I just thought that I was doing something wrong but I had no idea what it was. The ambivalence of Neptune allowed me to tolerate the intolerable. In various situations, I felt either excluded or abandoned. In another situation, I had totally misjudged another’s character yet this person had clearly stated her “values” at the beginning of my Neptune transit. At the time, I just could not believe someone would think that way. For me, this has probably been one of the most painful aspects of Neptune transits.
The benefit of the deception— it dissolves your boundaries, your connection to a person or situation, freeing to move on in your life. Maintain ETHICS! Remember, Neptune dissolves all that is not real in our lives – just let it go! Astrologer Pat Geisler advises: Make NO choices based on “new” ethics, but only on the standards you had used all your life.
“Follow the routines you had created for yourself, accept the responsibilities that are yours without whining about it and just keep on plugging. In other words, the only way through the transit was one step at a time, refusing to veer off the chosen path and ignoring any siren songs along the way. So, I made a decision to trust that I had tried to make a good decision and not to think about it any more but to just do the job in front of me one day at a time. It really helped me get through those days.”
Through a disappointment, we can actually go beyond our boundaries, let go of restricting loyalties. When Neptune opposed Pluto in my chart, I had been writing a Sun-sign column for DC-ONE magazine. When they owed me over $500, they said that I did not have a contract with them so…no money! I felt so betrayed but this allowed me to write my column the way that I wanted to write it. It was the best thing that ever happened.
Remember, that any betrayal or disappointment is assisting us to let go and move forward in our lives— to go beyond our boundaries. There is always a specific Spirit Guide in our lives at the time of a major Neptune transit. We are not alone!
Remedies for the Neptune Transit
I feel that the Bach Remedy, CLEMATIS, saved my life in 1997. That summer I became so disconnected that I could have easily lost my grip on reality. It takes about 4 days for the effects to kick in but Clematis grounded me and it has allowed me to feel very normal. Everyone who has started to use this remedy states that they do not feel anything… until they stop taking it. Put some under your tongue every morning. Not every Neptune transit operates this way, especially if you are having Uranus or Pluto transits at the same time.
CLEMATIS (Bach): Mechthild Scheffer recommends Clematis for people “who are wanderers between the worlds. Reality does not hold much attraction for them and, whenever possible, they will withdraw from the painful present.” They manifest symptoms: Being lost in thought, absent-minded and inattentive, appears slightly confused, little reaction to events, good or bad, a floating sensation, poor memory, poor body image causing the individual to bump into things, visual or hearing problems. These people need more light and sun and yoga assists them in strengthening the etheric body.
I have personally observed that, during a Neptune transit, the etheric web thins so there is a very tenuous veil between the physical world and the astral world. Disconnectedness can be frightening, even when you understand what is going on. Clematis gently pulls one back into the physical and simply feel normal again.
NOTE: All Neptune transits can stress the adrenals. In the 1990s, a Bethesda,Maryland, doctor recommended a product by Enzymatic Therapy called RAW ADRENAL. His recommendation is to take 2 pills when you first get up and then 2 more around 11am. This is very helpful for low body temperature and allergies. I am now recommending Solaray’s ADRENAL CAPS.
There is a new book, ADRENAL FATIGUE, by James Wilson, MD. This book discusses the latest discoveries in adrenal exhaustion. The Bethesda doctor is now recommending the supplements mentioned in this book. There is another book that has been around since the 1980s on Hypothyroidism by Brota Barnes MD. This often occurs as we get older and it is indicated by low body temperature called Wilson’s Syndrome. The basic treatment for this is Armour Thyroid.
After contracting the Epstein-Barr Virus, I developed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My dentist gave me 30 mgs of Armour (a natural thyroid but it may not be strong enough for extreme cases). Within 3 days, my energy level soared and it gave a boost to my immune system. The blood test for the thyroid is a waste of time. Even a woman who had her thyroid removed many years earlier showed normal T levels. The 4-times-a-day Saliva Test is the best test at this time.
ADDENDUM UPDATE – PERSONAL EXPERIENCES
Neptune transiting Capricorn, an Earth sign, seemed to be the most disorienting for me personally. Now that Neptune is in Aquarius, I have not personally experienced the need to use Clematis but I know others who have found it immensely helpful. However, change through dissolving what no longer works is still the prominent feature of a strong Neptune transit.
In 2003, when Neptune in the 6th opposed Pluto in the 12th House, I had been writing a column for a upscale magazine. In writing my monthly e-column, my interpretation was tailored to the requirements of the editor. During this time, there was a change in management and, because I did not have a contract, they refused to pay me several hundred dollars. I felt so betrayed but I knew, typical of Neptune, that this was for the best. Now I could change my column and write it exactly as I wished. I was no longer limited by the editor of this magazine. This turned out to be a great boon to my column. I could be intuitive, as well as technical. The column was picked up by an Italian website. I knew that I had outgrown this magazine. My personal energies were shifting and expanding. They could no longer be contained by the magazine’s limited format.
In 2007-2008, Neptune is opposing my 12th House Mercury. I am aware that my hearing is worse but this forces me to really listen to what others are saying. Mercury in the 12th can easily tune out of a conversation that is not stimulating. I need to listen better!
I worried about losing friendships but this has not happened. I have lost them but in a very different way— retiring and moving away! Several important people in my life moved away and my beloved dentist retired. Initially, I feel lost without them yet I know that Neptune always works to our long-term benefit. With a friend moving to Arizona, this will allow me to lecture for the astrology groups there and visit my friend. We lost out ARE meeting place when she moved. I thought that this would be the end of our group. With the shift in the group’s energy, a lot of people are joining our group and we have 2 good locations to meet. This shift allowed the group to grow and expand!
With regard to retirement, I have observed that, when a client is at retirement age, strong Neptune transits can trigger their retirement. Neptune tunes out and no longer wants to work so hard. They long for something else in their life.
1 NOTE: I consider the hard aspects to be the Conjunction, Square, Opposition, Parallel and Contra-Parallel. The minor afflictions such as the 45, 135 and 150 degree aspects indicate deceptive situations that occur AROUND you but not involving you directly. With the minor afflictions, it is essential that you do not get involved with any situation that is not clear or directly involving yourself— or it will become a hard aspect!
May 1, 12:43 PM EIGHTH HOUSE:
In my research with “mulit-dimensional phenomena,” the 8th House is a key factor here. So, with the trine to natal Neptune, this can be an excellent time for studies and activities connected with Spirit Guides and the utilization of your psychic abilities. When Neptune transits the 8th, it portends a spirit guide of someone whom you knew in this life (but they have since passed over). Studies in healing, especially vibrational healing, are favored.
If, during the 13 year transit, Neptune makes a difficult aspect, you must be careful with investments and where your money is tied up with another. Knowing this ahead of time can prevent any difficulty.
If the transiting Neptune makes a difficult aspect to a planet in the 11th House, there can be concern over the health of an older family member who is already in poor health.
The period from 2012-2015, as I wrote in my Pluto article on this website, will bring a fiscal crisis that thrusts us into another recession. I plan to have all of my money in long-term tax-free bonds to ride out the difficulty.
Jul 28, 10:51 AM EIGHTH HOUSE:
When anyone has planets in the 8th House, it always bestows great powers of HEALING — but this healing can be physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, economic (financial advisors) and even technological (the man who created the computer system for the US postal service told me that he does not fix computers…he HEALS computers).
As I say in my article, Neptune dissolves and it can dissolve all that is not real in our lives. We are shifting, changing, even floating into a new direction but you are never sure where yo are going under Neptune.
There will be a passing away of people in your life but this often frees your energies to move into the new direction.
Jul 28, 08:11 PM
Thank you very much, Lynn. Actually, I’m thinking about the healing direction you mentioned.I think my scorpion sun is also a healing strength.Your words also give me strength.I’ll just put my trust in the universe and let the neptune dissolve the unreal.
I’m a little scared by this passing-away prophecy although I read some books on death and life and begin to develop a belief in reincarnation. Since I’m studying astrology now,could you tell me whether this is caused by the neptune squaring natal 8-house sun ? If the sun is not in 8 house or if it is not a square,will this phenomenon happan? Besides,can you recommend any astrologer in China you know? I want to have one to read my chart and aslo to learn from. If there’s no one in china,can you recommend someone who gives on-line course?Thank you for your patience.
Jul 30, 06:03 AM
First, the Neptune transit to a planet in the 8th House always indicates a new spiritual guide — and someone who is known to you (possibly passed away when you were younger). This Guide will be very helpful in guiding you through this transit.
Neptune transits do not always indicate a passing away of someone who you know. When it is connected to the 8th House, it is possible but not always. Do not worry about this.
This aspect opens you to subtle energies, hence, the ability and interest in healing, astrology, metaphysics and reincarnation.
There are several Online Astrology Schools. Google this and you may even find names of schools in China. I teach medical topics at the Online Astrology College. You can check here for class schedules.
I would suggest contacting www.geocosmic.org (National Council for Geocosmic Research) or
www.astrologers.com (American Federation of Astrologers).
They may know astrologers in China.
Sep 30, 08:52 AM SEVENTH HOUSE TRANSIT:
Neptune will be in your 7th House for about 13 years. In the 7th House, it will dissolve many connections that you have presently in your life. This will actually free up your energies to move on.
Neptune rules my 8th House cusp and, due to my age, when this begins in 2014, I expect it to be a long cycle for the passing of many old friends. I learned from my mother that getting older requires Courage to stay on this planet when your friends have moved on.
A lawyer told me that her ability to size up people was non-existent while Neptune was in her 7th House. She lost a big client. She realized that the pressure to bring in business to the company was too great. So much dissolving gave her the courage to let go of her corporate work, leave the expensive DC area and move to a smaller community where she could practice law on a less complicated level. It really worked out but she never would have made this decision if it had not all dissolved around her.
Remember, Neptune dissolves all that is not real in our lives so that our energies can shift. This will only happen as Neptune aspects planets in your chart…Lynn

The 8th House rules all things totally beyond our control and our attitude towards these things – death, taxes and the resources of others.
First, Neptune can indicate that there is someone (or a pet) who is getting old, becoming weak and frail and a passing can be indicated – the lesson of letting go.
Second, you have strong sensory perceptions of this Beloved Pet being around you. This is the next lesson — to connect with other dimensions, to develop our intuition and to work with these energies.
The 8th House with Neptune can provide information through dreams, past life recollections and psychic messages. It is very good to cultivate your ability to work with these energies.
NOTE: I have one cat now who is getting very old. She has kidney disease. I give her IVs but I have to know when it is her time to go. This is not easy. I have taken her in twice, feeling it was “her time to go” but the Vet said, “No, let’s pump her with vitamins. This will keep her going.” — she is still going.
Next, the negative side – dishonesty, betrayal and self-delusion. If you sense that your ex-husband is doing something that can cause you harm financially, you need to act immediately. Neptune can allow you to put your head in the sand and not become “aware” until it is too late.
Neptune can delude us when we really need to take action.
Dec 11, 09:34 AM NATAL NEPTUNE IN 7th: ...you have Neptune in the 7th in the Fixed Pattern (T-Square) natally so that the problem inherently lies within yourself — Neptune in the 7th always looks for the potential in others, rather than confronting the reality of what is, and it wants to rescue others rather than working on one’s self.
A very famous psychotherapist once said,
There is no such thing as a rescuer — only 2 people vying for the victim slot.” This is a hard lesson to learn. Neptune is very tolerant because it can overlook the unplessant. The unpleasant always comes to light. Hopefully, the fog will clear when Neptune passes.
Dec 12, 10:46 AM EMPOWERING THRU VIBRATION: Basically, when Neptune is a problem, I look to the condition of Saturn. Your Saturn is in Pisces in the 12th House and very afflicted. The key with Saturn is to learn to SAY NO!!!
When I used to teach Esoteric Psychology (AABailey), I would advise people like yourself to wear Deep, Regal Red and listen to Wagner’s Greatest Hits — not the funeral marches — but THE ENTRANCE OF THE GODS INTO VALHALLA.
This is empowering music and it seems to work very quickly.
Deep Red can be worn as underwear if it does not go with your skin tone.
Another option is to meditate on the note A Major.
Mar 8, 10:32 AM
Fern – It is impossible to make any diagnosis from this scant information but I will try to make some suggestions about your health. Most of this can be obtained in this Neptune article and in my Common Cures I-II-III articles —
1- Neptune can cause hormonal imbalances, including adrenal/thyroid. Do check your body temperature. If low, it is the adrenal/thyroid. Only a hormone saliva test, usually a gynocologist gives these tests, will reveal this. Insist upon the HSTest as the blood test is useless.
Source Naturals does have a thyroid and adrenal supplement that is quite good. When I run out of Armour Thyroid (read Common Cures I), I take 4 of these pills from the health food store. Do not take adrenal supplements every day continuously — a week on and a week off is good, in waves. I have written about this in my CC articles.
2 – There could be a chemical sensitivity because Neptune can trigger allergic reactions. If you can do an allergy test, absolutely make sure the allergist gives the IGg Elisa test.
3 – Your regular doctor can give a blood test that shows all of the vitamins and nutrients in the blood. This can tell where there is a deficiency.
Neptune transits cause a thining of the etheric web (outer rim of the etheric body) and energy can be drained.
Apr 7, 09:32 AM First, see what House Neptune is natally placed. This often tells “from where” the changes and energies are coming.
Do read this Neptune article for the health issues as these affect ALL 4th Harmonic aspects from Neptune, even the nice conjunction.
First, this aspect will dissolve some relationships. There could even be a heart health issue for someone around you. Neptune only dissoves what is not real so those you have outgrown will disappoint you. BUT, with the Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron alignment, new relationships, more expansive, will enter your life. Do exercise discrimination though as not all is real under Neptune.

Hi Lynn,
Unbelieveble! I have a fibromialgia since 2006.. Born In Istanbul 16.02.69 (01.00 am)
Jun 5, 10:46 AM
The signature of Fibromyalgia is the Cardinal placements in your chart, gravitating to fixing crises; Mars-Neptune on the Asc causes boundary problems, problems defining boundaries for others; the Saturn-Pluto inconjunct. Please read my article on the dysfunctional Saturn on this website.
Neptune in late degrees will dissolve what you have outgrown but this is not always easy. Please re-read my Neptune article as what I could tell you is really here.
Late I will be posting an article on Empaths but Elisabeth Fitzhugh.
Jun 21, 12:14 PM
Lynn,
How do you time/interpret transits to a stellium? Do you consider all of the planetary energies in the stellium to be activated at once during the transit (even if the earlier planet/s may be out of transit orb), or only the planet/s within the orb of activation that you use? For slow moving transit planets do you keep the orb of activation at only 1 or 2 degrees?
Specific example as pertains to the current Neptune activity: Neptune opposing the following Leo stellium: Sun/9 degrees, Asc/14 degrees, Venus/19 degrees, Pluto/20 degrees, South Node/21 degrees, Mercury/26 degrees.
Jun 27, 05:39 PM
DAPHNE: You have asked a very good question. First, this is a Stellium. When anyone has a Stellium, this area (House position) can absorb your entire life so it is important to “go to the opposite House.” I may have a Stellium article on my website but I foget. So, for example, if you have a Stellium in the 6th, work can take up your entire life. It is important to “go to the 12th House.” This means that you need to give yourself some alone time, to retreat and get away by yourself periodically to break up the intensity of the 6th House.
Instead of saying that, when one planet is activated, they are all activated, I would say that the influence over the House position will occur from the time Neptune enters 9 Leo 00 until it finally leaves 26 Leo 59. For you, this influence started in 2002 and it will continue through the first week of January 2011.
As my article indicates, Neptune is dissolving all that is not real in your life.
I can also portend a situation that is chaotic and deceptive from 2002 through 2010. Nothing is truly real at this time.
I also find that, as the afflicting planet nears the end of the Stellium, it is not as potent.
I have also observed that a special Spirit Guide is influencing your life during this entire period.
If a health issue commences at the beginning of the aspecting period, the individual can recover once it is over.
Sep 8, 08:42 AM
This article gives cures for the low energy. These suggestions can be very helpful as the adrenals are often fatigued with this transit. Food intolerances can be a problem too, draining energy.
Saying that you should work on spirituality under Neptune is not helpful. I am old and I have lived through many Neptune transits. This article tells you what happens
I have had people in business be on the alert for deception and they both saved their business and turned a hefty profit.
In the chart for a client in the Middle East, I gave him a description of someone who was cheating him. He said it described his company manager but “he could not possibly cheat me” — and he did … millions! If he had heeded my warning, he would have done much better.
We experience deception when we put our heads in the sand and refuse to see the truth about those around us.
We all stick our heads in the sand so do not feel that you failed in this matter.
When Neptune opposed my Venus, I could not believe that my best friend was no longer my friend…but this happened.
In actuality, when this happened, I had outgrown the situation and it was time to move on. Neptune dissolves all that is not real in the life.
In 2009-10-11, Neptune is transiting the Late Degrees of Aquarius and it will aspect the Ending Planets in a natal chart, denoting an Ending Cycle when many situations will dissolve in our lives.
My Manual on Beginning and Ending Planets is for sale on this website.
Sep 9, 01:27 AM
Thank you for acknowledging the truth of this transit (how appropriate). Even now as I read what I wrote, I did not want to acknowledge how devastating and exhausting this transit has been. I think I was truly holding on the whole “spiritual awakening” – when it has been in many ways a spiritual dissolution, crisis, overwhelm. Now in retrospect, I can see many examples in the last few yrs where I have allowed myself to be deceived and have been self-deceptive.
I went back and read your article, especially on how to address the low energy….I was actually wondering until lately if I was sick. I usually run 3-4 days/wk, 2 and half miles or more…since this transit, I am lucky to get in 2 days a wk…and even w/ enough rest, I feel exhausted BEFORE running and not energized afterwards. Recently, since about late July, my energy has improved, but I am going to follow your suggestions and will order your manual on the Ending Planets in a natal chart at the end of the week.
Thank you,
Lourdes
P.S. Your article on the psychological vampires has been so helpful too. I now realize I went into this Neptune-Sun transit after an experience w/ an individual who was a vampire (during my Pluto square Pluto) and my progressed Moon in Scorpio. I also experienced much loss (3 deaths). After reading your article I see that my mother was a vampire, and although I don’t have the Mars-Neptune aspect in my chart, I have Venus square Neptune, w/ Pluto in my 7th. Additionally, progressed Jupiter and Neptune are conjunct in my 7th house. Interestingly enough, this summer my relationship w/ my mother broke off – which is a good thing actually – and was her choice after my sisters and I confronted her w/ some difficult truths.
I also emailed Janet re: her article. I am looking forward to healing and feel much more prepared and validated with your words (my progressed Moon is in Sag now, in my 7th soon to enter the 8th). Thank you!
Sep 9, 08:19 AM
Lourdes – Thank you for your respond and it is one from which others may benefit.
Glad you liked the Vampire article. People either love it, because they have been with a Vampire, or they criticize it because they are themselves Vampires…and Vampires do not like to have the light shed on them.
Many are relieved that it is not THEM…but they have been with a Vampire.
I see that my Manual is not posted on my website. Molly will have it up soon. A PDF file is only $12. You can order something on PayPal now for $12 and I will send you the PDF file right away. I do plan to update it in the future and, when I do, I can send the update for free as a PDF.
Dec 6, 07:07 AM
EMPATH ENERGY: If you Google Orion Wisdom, you may come up with a friend’s website and she has a fantastic article on Empaths. I would like to post it here. This is always intensified with Neptune transits.
Eating meat is very grounding and this may be sounding that you needed under the influence of Neptune. Red meat can dull the Solar Plexus receptivity.
JUPITER-NEPTUNE-CHIRON: At first, I did not think that it did much but I did formulate a vision for 2010 — Global Gatherings where people around the world can tune in (such as Skype) and hear me interview astrologers in Europe, or anywhere for that matter. Right now, it is just a vision but I have lined up the astrologers to interview.
Jan 4, 10:59 PM Edited:
I am a bit concerned at the moment as I have Neptune coming up to a Square with my Scorpio Ascendant.
I am also 5months pregnant with my first child and Neptune is transiting my 4th house, though natally I have it in my 1st house. Also about one month after the birth of my child I will have Neptune coming within 0.7 degrees of Squaring My Sun in Taurus.
Jan 6, 11:46 AM
It is important — for both you and your child — that you feel grounded during and after pregnancy. I suggest the Bach Flower Remedy, Clamatis, taken daily to help with this.
Neptune itself would not cause pregnancy problems so do not worry about this.
Neptune is the Crisis of Disconnectedness and this is a most uncomfortable feeling. Follow the suggestions in the article. Feeling grounded now will help develop and strengthen your unborn child’s etheric body.
While you are under the Neptune transit, after the child is born, do a lot of close cuddling. The child will sense when you have just tuned out and you must practice connectedness with your baby….before and after birth.
Apr 10, 11:07 PM
Hi –
Great article. I had Neptune Sq Saturn a few years ago. It was definately the hardest time in my life (so far). I can relate to all the feelings of dissolution and found it really hard to be grounded. I lived a bit og a gypsy lifestyle at that time.
I am a little concerned at the moment as the Neptune, Jupiter, Chiron stellium that you mentioned is hitting my MC and natal Chiron (both late Taurus). Do you have any advice for this kind of transit?
Apr 11, 07:49 AM
Jupiter is no longer in Aquarius but Neptune-Chiron are in late Aquarius. For all who read this, remember that transits at late degrees are always ENDING CYCLES.
I do not find the square to the MC always that difficult, although it may cause dissatisfaction in work.
May 18, 11:25 AM
I have been reviewing this article every couple of weeks to remind myself of how Neptune transits operate. I am very much lost in a fog right now and it seems like there is no end in sight. I am experiencing both Neptune Square Sun and Neptune Square Mercury. My overall feeling is that of confusion as to my life’s direction and which path I should take. I am currently contemplating whether to leave my marriage that is safe, but not completely satisfying. But the alternative doesn’t feel that great either; the unknown is so scary. I also find myself waking up depressed and anxious as to what to do with my day. I have taken steps to move forward with the separation but I haven’t discussed this with him yet – I therefore have been deceiving him into thinking this is working out well. I am also overspending on my credit card to try to save up enough cash to make the move. It’s a big mess and I have at times wished I would die in my sleep. Is there anything I can do to cope? I’ve tried therapy and exercise but that only provides minimal consolation. Thank you!
May 18, 11:35 AM
For energetic support, the Bach Flower remedies of Clematis and Mimosa can help, taken twice a day.
Stop charging on your credit cart and get out of debt.
Neptune transits are not the best time to consider making dramatic changes in your life. Make decisions with greater clarity when the transit ends.
May 29, 05:28 AM
Hi Lynn,
I have my natal moon at 1’21 Pisces 12th House, so Neptune is about to transit it. My moon is the apex of a T-square with Sun/Neptune in Sagittarius and Saturn in Gemini. From what you are describing above it feels as if T Neptune is already here although it is only at 28 Aquarius currently. As Chiron has just entered Pisces I’m not sure whether what I’m experiencing is more from that transit… they seem too similar.
I’m listless and unclear in general. Hours pass and I’m not aware of how much time has gone by and my emotions are, at best, a little fragmented and confused. I get alot of invitations to events and places but I’d rather pass up and stay at home. Deep down I want something to change and I want to grow spiritually.The best part is I’ve gotten really into oil painting but it all depends on my mood. With plenty of responsibilities I’m not sure if I should go with the flow or shake myself up in order to manage tasks. I prefer to be on top of things usually.
As someone with a tight Sun/Neptune conjunction in my birth chart I thought I knew Neptune well. Now I’m not so sure.
With Chiron and Neptune so close together should this transit be more difficult/different?
Thanks
May 30, 10:49 PM
After reading this I’ve thought to myself if what I had come to be aware of was due to heightened perception or just the hard knocks I’ve experienced this past year. Natally, I have Neptune in Capricorn at 0 degrees, sitting near the cusp of my 6th house. I think the beginning of Pluto’s transit through Capricorn occured at the time I lost my job in 2009. At the same time, an eclipse near my ASC in Cancer at 28 degrees happened, again near the time I lost my job of 3 years. After that summer’s event I thought a lot about what was going on. For 2 months prior to that summer I had sensed that I was being deceived. Underhanded tactics were being used to find an excuse to fire me; the catalyst was an unknown woman who was driving recklessly. Natally, Neptune is applying a square, though not a tight orb to my Moon in Aries which sits at the MC. The person who was involved in the behind-the-scenes “investigation” into what happened to me that day was female and her Sun in Cancer sits in my 12th house. I worked so hard to accomplish something, being a single woman and living by myself. I cared a lot about what I did for a living, though I see now that I could’ve done much better for myself. I was being ignored on the job, separated from team mates and generally isolated until all ties were finally broken. I felt so relieved yet at the same time I realized how drained I became of all energy. I pushed hard to gain some justice and waited patiently until I found a break to just rest. Since then I’ve received a chance to finally let go of the past, through rigorous application of getting to the bottom of things. I understand now that under Neptune’s transit, even with hard aspects to Neptune natally can cause one to feel right, yet wrong at the same time. For a long time I’ve wanted to stick with a career in the creative/healing arts. My love is writing, but I also love visual art so for awhile I’ve been wanting to paint in oils; refabricating dreams I’ve had and their symbols, most of which have happened during this transit through Aquarius.
This article has inspired me to articulate any understanding I have gained of my experiences thus far and that of astrology, which has helped me a lot. I’ll have to read the article about dealing with a ‘vampire’. I get the feeling that, after the eclipse in 2008 which hit my Progressed ASC/DSC axis and my Natal Sun in Aquarius on the cusp of the 7th/8th house severed my long-time relationship with someone who had drained me financially and left me feeling alone. This event also hit his Natal Nodes in Leo/Aquarius. During Neptune’s transit in Aquarius, this person had more than once tried to deceive me into thinking that he still loved me and even tried coming back. I knew something was up and I’m glad I paid attention. He had already been seeing someone else in another state, far too young for him to be with and now they have a child. Someone else on here also said that they cut off ties with their mother which is what I have also done in the past 5 months. Realizing that my mother’s influence had a negative impact due to the intimate relationships I was attracting and how our roles were played out, I have to nurture myself on my own. My mother was not able to be the nurturing type and was quite controlling and restrictive upon my feelings and identity, not to mention manipulative at times with her offer of being the parent I needed. With no father around and a step-father equally distant and whom I felt to be slightly under-handed in the dynamics of her household, letting go meant I’ve felt more like an adult and less of a confused and punished kid.
What I seek now is a firm foundation with inner security and the chance to make things stable. I hope that I’m able to find employment soon and that the person I’ve been dating since the beginning of February is the start of a relationship that I can trust and believe in. I’m not sure if I should leave my birth info here, but advice is always appreciated.

MOONE: As you know, it is impossible to give personal readings on my website but I gladly answer questions that would be of generalinformation to readers.
Neptune will transit your T-Square from 2012 through 2013 — 0 through 3 degrees. Whenever Neptune transits a Cadent House (here, the 12th), you may not always be aware of what is going on so it is important to document and, if it seems to good to be true, it is.
Neptune always opens us up to Spirit Guide influences, starting in March 2012. The Water Houses always indicate a connection with Multi-Dimensional realities. Discerning the different between Thee-and-Me is going to be important.
Later, I will be putting up a series of articles on Empaths. Read this. It is an important article. It can be found at
www.orionwisdom.com Elisabeth is a good friend and this material has been helpful to many.
Not connected with your chart exactly, I find that, when I am lethargic, my Higher Self is active on other realms. When the work is done, I am find. Empaths are often senstive to this.
Chiron transits mark a time when we need to make decisions based upon intuition, following one’s Heart, rather than doing what we have always done in the past.

Thank you Lynn,
Yes, I found this description of Empaths to be an accurate portrayal of me. Looking forward to further reading on this subject.

I now have transiting Neptune squaring with my natal Saturn (29 degrees in Scorpio, 12th house). Are there any positive aspects to this transit? Does it only bring up all issues that have yet to be resolved, or need to be resolved?

This article tells all that I can tell about a general transit. Any planet at 29 degrees portends an ENDING CYCLE. Some significant structure or support that you have outgrown will dissolve. Early Degree planets will tell you about how the new cycle will begin.

Thank you Lynn,
With Neptune now squaring with my natal Saturn in Scorpio, is there any effect of the influence of transiting Neptune in Aquarius, which is now in my 4th House?

thanks for the article. Very timely and informative. I am going to try the bach flower remedies of clematis and mimosa twice a day.
Danielle, on May 18 1125am, I am going through the same thing in my life, trust me. I just want the pain and confusion to go away. I’m an Aquarius sun, Scorpio moon and it’s not a good feeling for me. It’s highly aggravating. This one of the worst transits ever. I can’t wait for it to end. I have been reading Lynn Koiner’s article and it’s helping me deal with things during this time. The tips have helped me gain some clarity and a bit of peace. Heal and rest.
