Neptune.

So now I am thinking about Neptune, just as the Moon moves in to square it prior to this weekend’s penumbral lunar eclipse in Capricorn. A lot of people ask me about Neptune, and I often feel so lost for words. It is such a strange world.

Neptune is the destruction of boundaries and the dissolution of the ego. Which sounds so wonderful to some ears. I have heard it said that if there were no ego, there would be no suffering. But there would be no life on earth either. We are not here simply to float into ether and enjoy ourselves. We are here to have this human experience.

Neptune does, however, have its role in connecting us to a higher awareness. It connects us to transcendant experiences that are our birthright as divine beings. But it needs must be approached with caution. The lower energies that we dwell in become twisted and distorted under the influence of Neptunian energies. For what is the difference between a spiritual awakening and psychosis?

Drowning in Neptune:

A classic Neptune encounter might lead someone to believe they have discovered their twin flame. Everything seems divine, there is much of the supernatural, there is a feeling that this individual represents the lost half of themselves. A whole bunch of magical, creative thinking starts to emerge that resonates on a higher level, but of course makes no sense logically. But then the real world creeps back and there is conflict with this ideal and a dark night of the soul begins. This finally settles down when the person struck by the “twin flame” awakening embarks on a spiritual practice and sticks with it long enough to realise that what they saw in the other is a projection, a mirror of unmet needs and inner trauma. The soul hasn’t been split, but it remembers its birth trauma and has bundled all of its psychic baggage into one. It has been looking all of its life for something to offload it on. Who could blame it?

Neptune shows up to remind us that what we search for outside ourselves has been within us all along. The most beautiful experiences imaginable, the most divine beings- they reside within our own heart. We can heal ourselves. We can meet our own needs. But we need to meet the Divine first.

When there are Neptune contacts to personal planets in synastry, I always shout beware. The other tricky thing about it is that it can hide literally anything, it clouds and obscures and contains an eternity of hidden information. It is not a case of run, but simply a good idea to embrace that spiritual practice now and connect to one’s personal divinity so that there is a minimal amount of disillusionment, intoxication, humiliation or conflict. After all, we don’t like to suffer if we don’t have to!
