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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

For anyone else interested the link is here:

http://www.orionwisdom.org/page4.html#Empath_Energy

Lynn, greatly appreciate your advice. When you say that early degree planets should tell me how the new cycle should begin, do I look at my natal planets or transits? I have my natal Jupiter 0 degrees 50 minutes in Libra my 10th house, natal Neptune 0 degrees 15 minutes in Scorpio my 11th house, and natal Uranus 0 degrees 53 minutes in Leo my 9th house? I think transiting Pluto could apply because next year it shall enter my 2nd house?

Hi Lynn,

When you suggested flower essences Clematis and Mimosa for energetic support, did you mean Mimulus rather than Mimosa? I really enjoy using flower essences but I am not familiar with Mimosa.

I’m experiencing tNeptune conjuncting my nVenus (11th), while tPluto is moving into a square with nPluto (6th); tSaturn square nSaturn (3rd) is separating and next tSaturn conjuncts nPluto (6th). Natal Neptune is in the 8th.

Any ideas on flower essences when Neptune transits are happening while Pluto and Saturn are also making hard aspects?

I’ve been feeling the empathic energy heightened (thank you for posting an article on the forum), lethargy, foggy-headedness, confusion, fantasies around potential love partners/disappointment with current relationships, adrenal issues, dep/anx/fear, low self-esteem, lots of clearing out of old habits, intense self-inquiry and chronic liver/gallbladder digestive issues. It’s been quite a full plate!

AMY: To my readers, Amy has posted a medical question on my Medical Forum which I hope to complete soon.

Yes, the Bach Flower Essence is indeed Mimulus for gently pulling you back into your body during a Neptune Transit.
When other transits occur, such as Pluto, this sometimes helps with the grounding.

When there are planets in the Water Houses (4-8-12), especially Neptune, there is a powerful connection with multi-dimensional realities — the veil between the seen and unseen is extremely tenuous. “Is this me or something else that I am picking up?” This sensing can cause anxiety when one does not know from where the feeling is coming.

The information on Empath Energy may help. A black tourmoline crystal carried around the body can block negative energy (it will eventually crumble when it becomes overloaded with negative energy).

With Neptune tansiting the Grand Air Trine, training one’s self in the handling of these energies — such as healing — might help.

DOMINIQUE: Everything I know about Neptune transits in general is in this article. It would be difficult to tell you more. With the transit influencing the Cadent Houses, much that happens is very psychological and emotional.
Sometimes events can go on behind the scenes of which you are not aware…and you may never be aware but you can be stressed simply by the sensing.
Please read the Empath article.
The aspect to Venus at 28 degrees is an ending cycle. Neptune dissolves through ambivalance – Neptune does not like confrontations or burning bridges.
There may be emotions tied to the past, old belief andf relating patterns that need to end. This is a good time to let them go.

DEBORAH: If you have been reading my posts here, you should know that Neptune 1) dissolves what no longer works in our lives and, 2) at the late degrees, it is an ending cycle for some structure in your life.
Everything that can be said in general about health and the Neptune transit is listed in the article.
Calcios from the Heritage Store ca be helpful as it is the most easily assimilated form of calcium. A 1/2 tsp on a cracker 3 times a week is sufficient.

I was lucky to find your website and such a good explanation of Neptune transits. I am at the tail end of this i hope (02/14/1955) and in the last two years have lost a creative job I’ve had for 12 years, many friends that I thought were lifelong buddies that proved to be more friendenemies, my apt. causing me to relocate to the country. In addition the man that I was very much interested in turned out to be very married-something he concealed. There have been moments of real anger, grief, and panic. I hope I am coming out of it and plan for a trip to India to reboot and inspire. I just decided to surrender and had no interest in trying to maintain outgrown relationships and situations. It has been extremely difficult though to see my former life dissolve from top to bottom. Thank you for your insight here-reconfirms alot of my recent experiences, All the best.

From Elisabeth Fitzhugh…several similar articles are on the Medical Forum

…on Empath Energy – Chiron and Neptune/Pisces energy

The Empath – those who have at the core of their nature the innate ability to receive energy, information, awareness from others. If you recognize this within yourself, it is also time for you to become conscious of this attribute. The difference between an Empath and a Channel is that the channel most often is aware that they are receptive, that energy flows through “channels”, and usually the channel recognizes a distinction between the channel and the energy being channeled or received.

The Empath does not receive through channels in the same way. Rather, the Empath expands their own nature like a sponge; fills its own nature with what is received. The Empath essentially absorbs into itself all the fluid energy, all the contact, all the content of interaction with others. The difficulty, of course, is that there is then a confusion of what is in the original ‘sponge’ and that which is filling it. ‘Do I feel this way within myself or have I absorbed this from another?’

Further, the difficulty and challenge for the Empath, is that most Empaths are not aware of the intensity or fullness or their receptive nature until certain things happen that interfere with and often endanger the present self. Then they say things as, “I didn’t feel like myself” or others say to them, “You’re not acting like yourself”, etc. Hints come into the conscious mind that something other than the self is interacting in their lives. Of course, there is a whole psychological way of looking at this, but we’re going to put that aside and stay in the metaphysical and the spiritual view.

In societies of Empaths, which do not exist per se at this time, there are cultural morals and mores that develop around the Empathic nature that help balance life with such receptive energy. More importantly, in an Empathic society individuals are taught how to work with the energy; learning that received energy is then transmuted, changed, translated. The ability to change the energy, which is part-conscious, part-energetic, and can be initiated by conscious will and thought. This ability to recognize and change energy is often what is NOT understood by the Empaths in this reality.

In this culture, the abilities of the Empath often are reflected in how they deal with people psychologically and emotionally and often literally in their careers as well; people who can absorb and change energy. Empaths may serve as translators. In a job, you may take one set of information and make a translation for another group. You try to help those in two different situations find the same language, to come to an understanding. Empaths can change the energy; helping others to let go of one feeling and allowing in another – transmutation. They can step down energy that is too intense for someone else by finding another way of speaking, making a more subtle thing of it; giving the principle without all the energy. Transducing -stepping down the energy.

It is vital that when you come to recognize yourself as an Empath, and then let yourselves fully understand this element of your being. It is an element which is akin to having a health condition. Like the diabetic who must watch certain dietary things, who must manage medication in a very concentrated and focused manner, if one goes off balance with these things, one can throw the Self into crisis.

We feel, it is very vital for each of you to begin very consciously addressing the energetic flow in your lives. You learn to work with the Empath energy by first, recognizing it and then consciously addressing and questioning it. Each of you must be very conscious now of focusing on when you need to be open, when it is time to be closed. “When is this my energy?” “When am I working as an Empath?” “If I am working as an Empath, it is energy if this feeling is not of mine, what am I to do with it.” You can ask. “Can I have clarity as to what this energy is? Is this energy to be translated? Is this energy to be transmuted? Is this energy to be transduced – stepped down and then translated?” Follow your own awareness of your empathic nature with letting yourself discover and then applying for yourself — evolving, your own techniques and structures; your own way of managing your Empath energy.

The Empath also must come to understand that they must set up structures for the body to work most effectively and in balance. When you live in an unstructured ,totally Empathic state, you overwhelm the body and eventually “short-circuit”. In a way, the physical body’s limitations or, rather, requirements, [which are limited compared to what the energy or spirit of the Empath can do], in a way save you by short-circuiting and therefore, closing the situation. Thus, your physical body has saved some of you from being enamored of intensity and basing too many actions on energy that may not be balanced.

In light of all this, you can see some of your choices and actions, perhaps more so reactions, were the outgrowth of unconscious Empathic connection: connecting into other people’s’ needs; connecting into needs from other times of yourself, etc. The greatest challenge for the mature Empath is discernment and differentiation.

We see in the Empath the struggle for balance. Often there are periods of excess and then a rebalance. Many of you have gone through your own periods of excess. Now you are going to come into your own period of more conscious honing of these abilities. That is part of your job, your discoveries.

In this discussion of the nature of the Empath, we are setting forth some principles and, in a way, activating your own knowledge of these things. Then because you have this perspective, you will start to see and comprehend your own actions, and how energy comes to you and you will find the mechanisms, devices, the structures that will help you work with your selves.

IMMUNE SYSTEM:

Following is the preface to an article written in conjunction with a presentation given at The Monroe Institute:
“In thinking on my involvement with the Monroe Institute’s Positive Immunity Program, I came to see again the sympatico link between my work with Orion over the years and the Hemi-Sync approach. Orion and the Positive Immunity Program both encourage us to approach the Immune System as an element within that we can work with. In the early days, two contributors were Christian and David, both HIV positive. They were Orion clients as well and had several sessions with Orion discussing their individual and joint approaches toward working with their situation. One situation I recall was that David had a more ‘battle’ oriented approach – he visualized killing off the virus, while Christian wanted to engage the immune system to transmute the virus.

It became an argument between them, but Orion emphasized the need to keep the language of the tapes open enough to allow people to mesh their individual approaches into the scripts of the tapes. This became an important factor in the workshops I participated in – people would lock into the imagery given in the tape and become confused when their own imagery was different. As a result, we made sure to address this issue in the Positive Immunity Program guidebook; giving concrete examples of how you may get many responses to a suggestion on the tapes. I see that the Hemi-Sync approach and the Orion work is based on respect of the individuals who come to the work; a trusting in the innate wisdom available to each of us.” Elisabeth

We, Orion, invite you to explore with us another view, some new ideas on that wonderful element within you, the Immune System. Some see it as a mechanism in the body that works with energizing the system, with maintaining the system, perhaps with ‘defending’ the physical system against difficulty, stress, bacteria, assault and invasion to the body.

We ask you to consider to think of this wonderful element as a guide, a guardian; the carer of the soul of the body. A guardian element so sensitive, so sympatico, so in connection with the All of you. Connected not only with your environment within and without the physical form, connected not only with your emotions and the sensitivity of your personality and self but this dear friend, the Immune System, is also connected to further than the physical self. Connected to what some may think of as the soul, what others may think of as the All of you. Encompassing, touching into, knowing all of the travels and expressions of yourself that may have been.
Understanding this can open a doorway to forming a relationship, a communication with your Immune System. Picture the Immune System as a sea. It has an element of fluctuation, as the movement of the wave. When it is disturbed or thrown into motion like the sea, it can create peaks and valleys. It can create storms and calms. Thinking of the Immune System as a sea, gives you an image not of an even plane, but an element within yourself that is in motion and more so, this motion is natural, an expression of the natural way for the Immune System to be. It is helpful to hold the idea of ‘motion’ and ‘movement’ whenever you visualize the work of the Immune System, whenever you dialogue with it; whenever you wish to engage or direct the energy of the Immune System. All of its work occurs in ebbs and flows and although you may experience it as an intense flow or rush of energy, image instead that it has built slowly, back and forth – culminating in a wave of energy bringing support and change.

Think of the Immune System as a guide; as a part of you that is very knowing, a part of you that you can speak with. It follows certain internal laws; responds to external laws, but what is so wonderful about it and indeed is wonderful about the whole nature of your physical body and physical world is it’s extreme responsiveness and ability to change, its ability to comprehend and understand, to learn. This attribute is often underestimated and many people although are just beginning to understand that they can work with the Immune System , giving it different guidelines to follow.

The body may follow certain patterns. For instance, if a cell is growing within and the Immune System recognizes this growth it may work against it. Difficulty then arises when the cell is part of the needful cells for healthiness of the body, such as in the condition labeled ‘cancer’. The Immune System will then work against this cell and at the same time can reduce the strength of the physical body. Yet you can redirect, re-educate this guide within. If you come to this dialogue with the understanding that the Immune System has as its goal and its ideal to support you, to keep a harmony in the body, then you can come to speaking with it without anger or fear, without the sense of betrayal or attack that often people in stressful physical condition begin to experience toward their body. Your body is, in its deepest intent, at one with you. It may be that the outcome seems as if one’s body is working against you. We offer you another image, that the intent is always toward support and harmony and that you can work with the body to bring the outcomes, the changes that may be different than the Immune System itself perceives need occur.

You must remember also that the Immune System is in a dance with the All of you. It dances with your fears, it dances with your stresses. It dances with your doubts. It dances with the old messages from childhood. It dances with the beliefs of your own life, of your society’s life. It dances with the time that you live and it dances with other times you have lived. Knowing this helps you to remember that there are many questions to ask; there are many things to explore when working with this responsive guardian.

If you find that you have been visualizing or meditating towards a certain outcome and yet it doesn’t seem successful, it may be that you need to dialogue, that you need to ask the Immune System , ‘What else is at work here? When I picture health, when I picture change of a symptom and it does not come, what else is at work?’ Perhaps you can help the Immune System speak by asking the questions more specifically. ‘Are we dancing with the fear of another time, of another life?’ ‘Am I dancing with a belief from childhood?’ ‘Is a part of me remembering what happened to Grandfather?’ ‘Is a part of me fearing what happened to Mother?’

All of these questions need to be asked and often; for when you are working with changes in the body it is not a single thing. It is like the onion, layer upon layer. This dialoguing can occur simply by speaking aloud, by picturing yourself engaging with this guardian of the body as a partner, as a compatriot, coming together to harness you views, to bring an outcome of harmony and balance in the physical realm.

One does not need to only be struggling with a condition or an injury to the physical to want to engage in a dialogue with the guardian of the body. You can learn many things about yourself. You can come to clarity in many ways by this dialoguing with the sea of the Immune System. You can learn why you are drawn to certain foods. You can learn why you explore certain times of tiredness or energy in your day. Some of the information that comes to you may be information that you need to accept, that will not be changed, yet this still is information which in a complex way supports the All of you even though in the moment it does not seems one you want to have.

We do not agree with those who say good health is the ‘natural’ way of life and that all variations on that reflect a lack in the body and spirit of a being. We feel that the natural impetus is towards a unity and a harmony between all beings and all aspects of life, but harmony and unity can be experienced in myriad ways, not only in a small, even flow of perfection. Perfection is also like the sea – a moving, variable element, that is at times calm and still; at other times rolling and flowing; and at other times still, crashing and powerful. The movement of all these times together encompass the perfection.

If you approach your physical world only through the image of a singular view of perfection, you will probably come to some place of disappointment; you will probably at some point judge yourself and find yourself lacking. Yet it is not that you are in lack. Rather, it is that your image of perfection, your image of the naturalness of being is too limited, too rigid, too specific. If you allow the idea of being alive, of being in the body, of being in health to be like the sea – full of opportunity to change, full of opportunity to express in many ways – then you begin with a wide image, a varied model of wellness and harmony in the body.

Having that large vision, having an acceptance that your variation, your stress, your physical struggles may be in some place of harmony with the whole of your life, may give you the foundation to change those situations or change how you experience and live with those situation or come into a deeper, clearer knowingness of what you are exploring and what you are expressing.

Most strongly we ask you to not see illness or challenge as judgment, to not accept this as an expression of your flaws or your lacks. Instead take away the language of judgment and look at these things as those you simply must cope with – events in your life that have come through the sea of being. Events that call upon you to meet challenges, to feel emotions, call upon you to redefine, perhaps, your self, your goals or your understandings. But do consider that these events do not call upon you to judge, to turn away from, to dislike yourself, your actions, choices or outcomes.

It may be a more difficult path toward having changes occur when you speak to that Immune System Guardian from disappointment and anger, from judgment and blame – you can see that it weakens your partnership. Instead begin with an acceptance – this is as it is. ‘I will question to learn more but I understand there may be a harmony here I cannot see.’ If you speak in such a way and then engage, invite, ask of the Immune System, ‘What can we do? How can we work? Can we do this? If I picture this can we bring it into being?’ Engage yourself as a team in the process. You are inviting known elements of you and perhaps elements you cannot see or label or understand as well, to come into a circle, a moving circle of realignment, rebalancing, honoring and accepting that which is and that which can come and that which may evolve.

You can consider this talk an addition to all that you may come to know about the Immune System and health. As you learn, remember the idea of the sea, of multiplicity. When you begin to visualize or write an affirmation or receive a healing or a massage or energy work or a medication or a surgical intervention, see each element as part of a great weaving. A great Whole. A great web of interconnections. Do not isolate the elements of life. Consider that what seems simple is always part of complexity and multiplicity.

Sometimes all of these ‘multiple views’ become overwhelming and you think, ‘All I can do is focus on this one thing now.’ That is exactly so. It may be that all you can do is focus on one thing, that is why it is important that we share reminder that while you are focusing on the one thing, a part of you remembers the many things and therefore, if the one thing seems not successful or not as you imaged it or leading to a different path, you will then give yourself permission to say, ‘Perhaps there is a harmony here that I did not perceive.’ Give yourself permission to question where life takes you, to question ‘Is it needful that I accept this element?’
Acceptance is not capitulation. It is not giving up to a lack. Acceptance is, instead, honoring that you are part of many things and many aspects of living and that the conscious mind and the conscious self often can only see a certain view at a certain time. Acceptance is simply an honoring of the complexity of life; honoring the idea that there is a spiritual arena that perhaps you do not fully understand, see or comprehend. Acceptance can lead the way to change.

The Immune System is part of you. You are part of it and together you are part of much more than you can imagine. We hope these words invoke your own knowingness of your alignments and your connections with yourself.

AMBER: This is an excellent addition to the Neptune information. Thank you for posting. Also know that, when a transit occurs in late degrees, it is an ending cycle. Some endings are pleasant and others are not. Neptune ends through disappointment or dissolving.

One friend has developed a health issue, palsy in her hands. She is a physiotherapist in Europe and she knows that she will have to end the type of therapy that she offers. Fortunately, she has faith that this is because she must go into a new direction professionally.

Neptune transiting the 7th is often a time of dissolving relationships…but relationships that you have outgrown. It is time to move on. One woman had a long-term client leave for another law firm. She could no longer make enough money to be a partner in her firm. She knew it was
time to move to another, less expensive city and be self-employed, where she did not have the pressure to make a lot of money for the firm.

In 2012, Neptune will cross my 7th House and it rules my 8th as well. I am at the age when many friends will start to pass away. I see this even now with the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction in the late degrees.

Even now, I can see the endings in my life – not bad – and a time to end some of my activities that I have been doing for a long time…it is time to move on.

PETER: Good question — both are indicative of endings. Saturn at 29 degrees, especially in the 12th, prefers to be self-employed, not trusting authority. Often, this can indicate a career or job change…but all late degree planets produce endings. This is not a tragic event but a time to move on and embark upon a new cycle in your life.

I have written about Ending Planets in many posts throughout this website — but, true, you have to read everything to find them.

Make the interpretation of the Neptune transit as I have written here but, always, when there is an aspect to 29 degrees, it is an Ending Cycle whereby, through disappointment and disillusion, you shut the door on the past and move on to a new cycle and, with the Sun, a new life direction.

Dear Lynn,

A dominat theme through your website on Neptune transits is about those of us who have last degree cusps experiencing intense shake-ups in our lives. I now have transiting Neptune, 4th House, forming a T-square. Transiting Neptune is opposite my natal Pluto, 28 degrees 16 minutes in my 10th house, both Neptune and Pluto are squaring with my natal Saturn, 29 deggree 32 minutes, Scorpio, 12th House. Surely, this T-square will help give me the impetus to resolve alot of issues, in particularly disappointments arising from having natal Saturn in the 12th house?

Dear Lynn,

First of all I would like to say I’ve been so enlightened and gained so much about astrology reading your site

Please be excuse of my writing as I have ADD, taking time to read taking time to write lol and more more more time to say it.

I like to share my experience with Neptune transits-“blind love”

Neptune square Mercury-
I looked back in my chart I see that early 2003 Neptune Square to my natal Neptune as well as my Mercury.. I met a man on Feb 03 from the beginning of our meeting he told me that we are not going to have future together but I continued seeing him and felt madly in love “bind mind” with him. Now that I look back , makes me think was I stupid of what this is not like me I drop any man who tells me that…so Neptune really fogged my little mind that I had lol

Neptune square Sun
We were on and off for many times until around 2007 I believe at the time Venus was retrograde or something I thought he is back to love me for good what little I knew after having a great weekend get away just to tell me that he is with someone else what little I know “blind ego”
keep on loving him in secret ……and seeking counseling at psch doctor and meds….I also just went through Pluto Conjunct Venus double oops. scorpio girl with leo moon please don’t mess with me honey…but Neptune keep me kind and caring dancing girl in La La land.

Neptune Conjunct Chiron Neptune sextile Venus
so while I was on med “didn’t really helped I started to get some help from Jupiter transit santa helper to help myself by self therapy but help of Neptune still keep me on blind sight ……I was pretty drained at the time I wanted to socialize with people but I lost all my self esteem, I was not taking care of myself physically but mentally I was drown in my arts as well as my tears I created a collections that I am still working on……

Neptune opposite Moon
last September while Venus was dancing backward he showed up again and brought back all the sentiment with him. Once again Neptune deceived me It was like a first time I meet him . It was like never been hurt before. I was really swimming in the middle of the ocean. We see each other every weekends until he left to go over sea for a month when he came back on Jan 2011 we met again for a full weekend together and revealed what happened with his last girl friend. It took me a week “my mercury takes time to sink in the info”,, well to be precise was actually last weekend I was hoping he didn’t call me anymore. some how I came to my senses that he is not the guy I once loved and he is not even a guy I really would settle for….Here is my ending natal planets at work to rescue me for good sextile my Venus and opposit my moon. I don’t wish him harm but he better not call me he may get scorpio sting I am clean and clear. I don’t want him in my life. I feel as I gain my confidence already.

He is going through T Pluto from first house to 7th Venus 6 can 27 Rx the weekend last we met until end of 2012
I wish him mercy

Lynn, All I can say is – FANTASTIC. Thank you. Your work is incredible, and your insights are invaluable to the world. Keep up the good work. I look forward to reading more of your work. I found you as I needed more insight on Neptune and immune system diseases – I’m also an astrologer – for a client suffering a long-term Neptune in 1st house illness. Again, thank you.

My Husband, born 30 July 1967 has just revealed to me that he has been having an affair since September 2010. He is very confused about what is happening and thinks he may leave me and the kids for this woman. We have otherwise had a great marriage (his description, not just mine) After reading that he has the Sun – Neptune link in his 7th house I researched what that meant and found myself here. Can anyone enlighten me further as to what else this means???
Cheers
Karen

Thank you for explaining what I may experience in near future.

Now that Neptune is slowly moving into Pisces, I wonder about the likely effects of transiting Neptune on natal hard aspects. I apologize for giving the following info, but doing so may explain my question better: I have planets at end degrees, Saturn/Venus at 29Taurus opposing JupiterRX 29Scorpio/Neptune RX 1Sag. Neptune/Jupiter are my chart rulers.

I understand transiting Neptune will shift energies on end degree planets by dissolving what is not real, but since I have opposition in natal chart, in what different ways a Neptune transit may manifest on already difficult natal Neptune aspects?

Since Neptune transit is more or less generational, I hope my question help other similar charts. Thank you for your time.

Dear Lynn,

Thank you for reserving time to answer my question. If it helps others, I have the following suggestion for people who have natal Neptune in hard aspects to other planets:

Let me recap my example: Natal Neptune conj Jupiter (8th/9th house cusps) opposes Saturn/Venus (2nd/3rd house cusps) and Mercury (wide orb, 3rd house)

Use Neptune’s hard aspect transit (at the moment it is squaring Saturn, Venus, Jupiter and natal Venus) to analyze where, when, how you believe you were disillusioned by house significance, then work to release.

In my case, I list deceptions I had encountered (oppositions are other people), illusions I nursed (self-worth, higher ideals, ability to communicate) and try to release them. Grounding body with exercise helps, so does structuring daily life little by little if you feel foggy.

Neptune is confusing for sure, even I – who live under its constant tug-of-war, had difficulty in pinpointing what it might mean for me.

Thank you again.

AMBER: Your experiences have run the gamut of Neptune possibilities. I often forget the accusations and dishonesty under Neptune.
With Neptune in late degrees, it is time to LET GO! Let go and move on.
One astrologer was threatened with a lawsuit if she discussed a certain “aspect” on her website — she just let it go, removed the article without a fight but sent it out to friends to send out to everyone who they knew.
It was something akin to an astrologer threatened me with a lawsuit if I did not take down all of my writings on the Vertex.
Passings is now so common. I recently lost my best friend in Prague. Then, another friend passed away suddenly. The shock caused lung and respiratory health problems…my heart chakra!
One thing I tell people to do as they are approaching a Neptune transit — DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. If people see you writing down everything, they usually leave you alone.

Hello Lynne, I have really enjoyed reading your article & all the comments & replies. I too, have Neptune approaching my 8th house ( 8deg Pis). Neptune has been on my 29Aq Vertex ( was flooded out of my home ) & will conjunct Venus 6 Pis , Chiron 12 Pis & Jupiter00 Aries, in the 8th.
Along with 5 hits of Neptune semisquare the Sun close to the 9th House cusp, the last 6 years have been a trial to say the least.

An interesting thing through a very disorenting & depressing time, is a Pisces man, who appeared as Neptune crossed my Descendant ( 15yrs ago) has reappeared – in the area Ive relocated to?!
Back then, he was a dreamboat of a man, but he was deceptive & aloof… leaving me heartbroken.
He wants to be friends again now & says he’s reformed, but I am reluctant to get in any deeper with anyone nower days. ( very aware of that Venus conjuction in orb)

Natally , I have Neptune on the IC, & find myself good at massage, healing, with ability to see peoples past lives, Astrology & all spiritual pursuits… not very financial with Pluto in the 2nd, opp Venus… Im trying to see life, not as a measure of how much you own,.. more about how much you can help others.
I am humbled by the power of Neptune.
Cheers Jennifer

I have Neptune square my natal 12th house 28 degrees Scorpio Neptune occurring. I find it impossible to get things done in a day, wiling away the hours browsing news, and other things online, and am currently unemployed. I have a 12th house sun in Sagittarius also, conjunct Neptune. I do feel in a fog most days, and am approaching turning 42 this November… I fear my life may be heading in a downturn. I have ideas for an at home business and the ability to begin a new project but day after day passes without me making any advancements on my plan. Oh, I research but that’s about it. What more can I expect from this long transit & influence???

Dear Lynn,

As you are aware transiting Neptune is in retrograde motion. Having my natal Saturn at 29 degrees 32 minutes in Scorpio, 12th house, Neptune is now aspecting my natal Saturn for the second and soon for the third and last time. A recurring theme of this website is such aspects represent an ending cycle. My question relates to the impact of such effects in relation to the ending cycle. Will the impact be much more significant when such a planet as Neptune is in retrograde?

I have late degree Aquarius Mars in my 2nd house sextile Aries Venus/Chiron on my IC. I developed fibromyalgia when transit Neptune/Chiron made a conjunction to my natal Mars. Prior to the transit I had been working as a Nurse in the Intensive Care Unit. This transit marked my offical ‘burn out’ of Nursing. I have Pisces Sun-Mercury and have always been a care-giver at heart.

WHile transit Neptune conjunct Mars brought forth significant Fibromyalgia symptoms, it made me very aware (also had transit Uranus conjunct my Sun-Mercury during the same time!) of my need for Self care. As Nurses are commonly denied that right. Many of us have to hold our bladders, skip meals, and so forth, to care for others. I have since had some compassion for myself and while I am still very compassionate and service driven, I won’t neglect myself anymore.

My natal 2nd Aquarius Mars is trine my MC/NN, so transit Neptune/Chiron was also trine and I’ve been studying Holistic Nursing and my work goals are towards Integrative Care now.

What an amazing array of information.

I will soon have Neptune enter my 12th. When it retrograded on the 16th of june, it blew my socks of, light was blinding, complete exhaustion & confusion. Being in pubic was sheer overwhelm, sensory & information overload. Other peoples energy, thoughts, vibrations was too much.

I have t-square moon pisces 12th 9/25, Venus Virgo 6th 9/40 & apex neptune sag 9th 9/12.

Since that time, I have been very focused on grounding practices. Essences, crystals, meditations, yoga & exercise, routine. But Im naturally worried of how things will playout.

Any thoughts on what effect Neptune will have on the t-square. or Neptune operating in my 12th house.

Im guessing a lot will be unconscious/subconscious which adds to confusion.

I would say I am highly sensitive & intuitive. But I’ve noticed my perceptions changing, or the way my mind processes or perceives is changing. I guess what I am asking is, how does neptune conjunct moon 12th use psychic ability.

Thanks again.
M

Neptune wont affect much except to give a very lucid love that span across generations

I have almost all of the things as described by Linda except from a different perspective . I actually enjoy being alone and working in isolation as i am a research officer with moon in 12th and saturn in 12th which gives discipline for solidatariy pursuits

Generally i am in good wellbeing and enjoying my life right now ! ie this is the life i wanted and i dont see anything weird with it

I get to set my own time and i get to produce work that is time independent so this is great for me

U just need to control Neptune if u have strong jupiter cos jupiter and neptune were rulers of pisces so neptune will naturally follow jupiter :)

KALLY (11-2011): If you are experiencing a square from Neptune, your thinking and reasoning will not be so accurate. Be very careful when investing, esp. with the upcoming Uranus-Pluto square from 2012-2015.

hi,

i am currently running neptune conjuncting my saturn at 28.23 degrees of aquarius in my 2nd house. as it turns out i was involved in a work place that closed becuase of mismanagment right after my birthday on november 8th, when neptune went direct. I teach in a yoga center, was not paid for months as employer had a “fight” with the landlord.. Now she closed down, might declare bankruptcy, then is trying to get somebody to take over the business…… I will soon have Nept square Mercury in 11th house at 1 degree sagittarius and nept oppose mars in 8th at 1 degree virgo. Is it a good time to work with other friends to start new yoga center.. or should I wait this out over next year of neptune transits? Am realizing I have to envision myself into what career i really want to do and have been blessed with positive dreams along the way. Am going to Grad school for psychotherapy and thought neptunian insights might help in client work.

Hi there,
I am going through the ringer. I have Neptune squaring my mars and Uranus squaring my sun and just finished Pluto square mars oppose sun.

What I am really worried about is my mars retrograde in my 10th house is being squared by Neptune. I just got registered as a Social worker and am working my first job. I was told abruptly (Uranus)last week that the person who was supposed to not come back to the position until July came back and I have to leave as fast as the end of this month. I have no job to go to. This person (was a friend who promised she would stay in touch and tell me a month before returning but also lied and assured me that she was not coming back at all).

I have also been in the public eye for animal welfare campaign.
Has the betrayl happened or should I be worried that my reputation is going to be ruinied ( 10th house). I am so afraid that I am backing out of the public eye for our next campaign for fear that the press will spread lies about me.

I am also worried that I will be accused of something by a client and lose my registration. Should I be this worried??

CRYSTAL: What you are asking requires a detailed analysis of your horoscope and this is impossible to do here. However, it might be better to consult a horary astrologer about a specific question, especially about losing your registration.

SUZAN: I know people who married when Mercury was Retrograde and they are still happily together. Of course, I would never choose to marry when anything was Retrograde.

Indeed, when someone is undergoing a Neptune-Venus transit, they do not want to see reality. This includes a minor aspects from Neptune to Venus.
I always advise people in that situation to wait until the transit is over before making any life-altering decisions.

Yes, I receive the DarkStar e-posts and I have corresponded with them in the past.
New England has a strong footing with the NCGR. I am leaving the National Board this month but working as a Committee Chairman of the same title, International Liaison.

Dear Lynn,

I am in the final phases of Neptune’s dance through my 7th house, taking me on what has been probably the worst emotional “carnival” ride of my life. I’m still riding out a conjunction to natal Venus in Aquarius / Square natal Neptune in Scorpio. For the last 4 years I’ve been involved with a man who has serious psychological issues (and alcohol dependency issues … helloooo Neptune!). I have seen firsthand the influence of illusory Neptune. The guy in question is a Sag (15 degrees) with moon in late Scorpio. To put it bluntly, I’m rather afraid that as Neptune crosses into my 8th it could signal this individual’s passing.

Should I be looking for any aspects to Pluto for either him or me?

I am planning on relocating in the Spring (after my birthday in late March). I am hoping that the fact that Saturn has just crossed my IC, and that I have an approaching Neptune trine to my natal moon in Cancer that my struggles with this person will soon be over.

I do seem to be coming out of what has been more than a decade of struggling. Neptune will visit natal Saturn, Chiron, and Mercury as it passes through my 8th.

Any suggestions on transits to keep an eye out for?

This is all totally fascinating. Please can you help me…. I have natal moon in Pisces 8th at 3 degrees, sextile Mercury in Cap 6th, trine Jupiter in Canc 11th and opposition Saturn in Virgo 2nd. My data is 15.12.77, 19.15, Manchester UK.

In April last year I collapsed, after years of working very hard and carrying a lot of responsibilities, and spent most of the spring and summer in bed. This seemed to coincide with Neptune (then) approaching my natal moon. Then Neptune went into retrograde until November, and up until then I was definitely recovering and getting stronger and stronger. Now I seem to be losing it again, the exhaustion (and other symptoms: dizziness, heads, nausea, generally scrambled brain) are coming back. The other thing that has been happening, since the burn-out, is that my psychic sensitivity has rocketed. I soak everything up, and that can also exhaust me. I’ve been trying to find ways to protect myself from draining/intrusive energies, but I don’t always have the internal strength to pull it off. I now seem to fit the criteria for being an empath, and have had experiences where I’ve lost my grip on reality and even ‘see’ things. Eek!!!

I suspect this is all Neptune’s doing? And perhaps Chiron?

Anway, I’m concerned because Neptune is now direct again, and about to hit my moon (and I think the Saturn opposition is perhaps playing a big part here??) I’m back at work now- I have found a very good job and I don’t want to lose my job again. Should I be expecting a replay of last year’s scenario, and if so, how long do you think this this will last? (ie how long is the transit) No-one has died- as I understand can happen with a Neptune transit of the 8th- but perhaps the person that needs to die is the ‘old’ me: the high-flyer/achiever go-getter (as lent by mars in leo on the ascendant….)

Any advice of how to survive this and use Neptune’s energies in the most positive way are warmly welcome… Thank you sincerely, you are very kind to help people in this way :)

NICOLA (1-2012): Receiving over 1500 hits each day, I cannot give personal readings. This is humanly impossible.

Neptune at beginning degrees describes a new situation and you must exercise great caution in financial decisions.

There can be a passing but Neptune has not entered 3 Pisces — this event may not happen until 2013!
You need to read the article for suggestions on what to do under Neptune. This is why I wrote the article for my clients.

PETER (1-2012): Neptune is making an ending aspect so it will describe an Ending situation — a passing, a job change (as a result of a disappointment in another).

The Neptune article describes the “hard” aspects. And, yes, these aspects are very different. Good aspects may not be noticeable. You do not feel like working so hard unless something stimulates you mentally. Finding interesting escapes from the “real” world are supported.
Bad aspects are just that – Bad!

Dear Lynn,

You once wrote “…early degree planets should tell me how the new cycle should begin…” I currently have transiting Neptune opposite my natal Pluto 28 degrees 16 minutes in Leo, 10th house, which is conjunct my natal Jupiter at 0 degrees 50 minutes in Virgo, 10th house, both aspects are forming a T-square with my natal Saturn. It looks to me that my natal Jupiter in my 10th house is the indication of how my new cycle should begin?

Hi,
Thanks for writing. Your information explains much of what has happened in my life for the past 13 years.
since Neptune entered my sign, my life turned into a chaotic hell. This is not an exageration. I have lost atleast 4 jobs. Come down with severe fibro myalgia, seperated from my husband, lost all family and friends, my house and gone broke, now living in a slum which I can’t get out of. In my despair I began to look for answers. I am one of those people who takes resonsibility for my actions and life and suddenly it has spun out of control. The betrayals by family were the most hurtful and the separations still cause pain as to me there is nothing more important than family but I have accepted it. Neptune is supposed to leave my sign in a few days and I wonder just how much impact that will have on my life? and if things will turn around for the better? I really just can’t take one more hit and I am bitter about the hits I have taken as they have changed my personality greatly and taken away some of the best parts of me that will never return. That’s not a matter of choice but rather lost innocense and faith. My health has taken a huge turn for the worst and finances are almost nonexistant. what can one say when there is nothing but gray surrounding them?
