Neptune Transits: Predictive Astrology - Techniques for Predicting the Future

Back to Predictive Astrology Main Page

Overview:

Neptune Neptune takes approximately 164 years to come full circle—too long to complete a cycle through our natal charts. This slow-moving planet's transits are long-lasting, and each transit takes its time to unfold. As Neptune transits a point in our chart, retrogrades back over it, and then hits it again in direct motion, it imparts its own special wisdom upon the point in question—the areas of lives and parts of our psyches ruled by that point.

How Neptune affects our lives depends very much on whether we resist its influences or we try to work with the planet of illusion and spirituality. It is common for Neptune's influence to be a confusing one in the first portion of the transit. The ultimate "lesson" of Neptune is to help connect us to the world of the intangible. This is in stark contrast to Saturn's transits, which re-connect us to the tangible, material world.

Whichever part of our lives and of our psyches that Neptune touches, especially by hard transit, is an area where we may feel "up in the air" and confused in the initial stages of the transit. Boundaries are not as clear, commitments are elusive, and perception is confused. If the Sun is involved, we don't know where we are heading and we have a hard time defining what we want and where we want to go. If Venus is involved, our love life is unusual or confused. As the transit progresses, and certainly by the time it is over, we should have a more refined understanding in the affected areas of lives. What begins as confusion can eventually actually augment our perception and our understanding. Sometimes people experience a burnout of sorts that eventually leads them to take a different path--often a more spiritually rewarding and fulfilling one. Neptune acts to dissolve what it touches.

The following are interpretations of Neptune's transits to planets and points. Note that alternate meanings are indicated by a * and +.

Neptune-Sun Transits

Neptune transits conjunct Sun Your personal sense of reality changes dramatically during the course of this transit. You are more sensitive than ever, and by transit's end you may tap into your devoted nature. There is a strong desire for peace and harmony, and perhaps some sense that you have to make sacrifices for that end. The body itself is sensitive, and you must be cautious with drugs. You may behave in an impractical manner, or you may be vulnerable to deception or betrayal from others. You may undergo a crisis of identity during the initial stages of this transit, and the experiences you have may lead you to a more refined understanding of yourself and the direction in which you want to head. This can be a time of illusions and confusion, or it can be a very inspired time. Recognizing that you need more on a spiritual level can help you handle the transit more constructively.

Look for Leo in your natal chart, as the Sun rules Leo, and this is an area of life that will be directly affected by the transit (in addition to the house where the transit actually takes place).

*Your more practical nature wanes as the dreamer in you comes to the fore. Fantasy and drama appeal to you now. Everyday life seems too drab and unappealing; you prefer the fantastic or mystical now.

+A time during which you bring imagination and new ideals to your ambitions and life direction. You could get carried away and lose sight of the practical, day-to-day realities in your quest for religious, philosophical, and mystical understanding.

Neptune transits sextile Sun

*You are more compassionate and intuitive now. You are much more willing to listen to others and sympathize with them. Even if you normally are very sympathetic and understanding, at this time you will find that there are still some people that you have not been sympathetic towards or whose needs and interests you have been neglecting; now you gain a better appreciation and rapport with these people.

+You find that you are able to bring more imagination to bear on your goals and ambitions now. You might find your ideals taking a more spiritual turn, thus involving you more in community and religious projects.

Neptune transits square Sun

*Your energy level is lower at this time and you are susceptible to catching colds and other illnesses. Regular exercise is excellent for you, but avoid pushing yourself too far as your body doesn't withstand stress and exertion very well now. Also, avoid making drastic changes to your diet; improving your diet, of course, is beneficial, but your body is sensitive and unlikely to adapt well to sudden changes.

+Your idealism and the dreams you dream right now may end up costing you in terms of lost ambitions and setbacks in your life goals. Escape could be at the expense of a reality that you have planned and worked for. Delusion is in the air.

Neptune transits trine Sun

*You pursue life with more refined and sensitive values now. You are less concerned with material acquisitions such as house, car, clothes, etc., and you are more aware of the more altruistic purposes of your life - such as serving others and making significant contributions towards a more beautiful, harmonious world.

Neptune transits opposite Sun

*Even if you are normally very practical, pragmatic, and down-to-earth, you will find yourself acting on faith now. You may find yourself buying a lottery ticket for the first time in your life because you feel like you really can win, or you may speculate on a venture because you believe it might come true.

+This marks a time when you could easily get carried away or even deluded with respect to your own goals and ambitions. A tendency to over-imagining and dreaming. If you spend all of your time at the sideshow, the main tent will be gone

Neptune-Moon Transits

Neptune transits to the Moon directly affect the feelings, the public image, and personal popularity. Other people and things affected by Neptune are the mother, important women in the native's life, domestic life, and the home.

Neptune transits conjunct Moon Ambiguity surrounds your emotional and domestic life at this time. You can be emotionally restless, but what it is you actually want is hard to pinpoint. You are more sensitive than ever, and through the course of this transit, your emotional life opens up to incorporate more refined, subtle and understated perceptions. You are "in tune" and pick up far more from your environment than usual. In fact, this can feel very much like emotional "commotion" until you accept that the essential purpose of this transit is to open up your feelings in order for you to ultimately become more compassionate, emotionally aware, and devoted. As the emotional pipelines open up and the emotional walls come down, you can become more vulnerable to deception. Your ability to discriminate is compromised, simply because Neptune's energy lacks definition and boundaries. Some measure of caution is advised. Some unusual or unexpected problems with the mother, important women in your life, and/or your domestic life may occur during the course of the transit. There can be health issues that are psychosomatic in nature or hard to diagnose, although these are generally not serious. Your dreams are likely to become more vivid, and you can be quite susceptible to mood swings.

+A time during which you may be able to carry your ideals and dreams into reality to make your home and environment reflect your inner desires and become as you dreamed it could be. You may find that you can escape with your friends, those who support you.

Neptune transits sextile Moon There is a wonderful sense of peace surrounding you during the course of this transit. You are more open and accepting on an emotional level. This emotional serenity, although subtle, helps you solve problems naturally and intuitively. Your dream life is richer than usual, and your imagination is boundless.

*Sympathy and compassion are highlighted now. You are more understanding, sensitive, accepting, and nonjudgmental of others. Even if you normally have these traits, you will still find that you now gain a better appreciation and respect for people that you previously have neglected, ignored, or misunderstood.

+An opportunity to use your imagination to improve your living environment or beautify your surroundings. You may feel very idealistic about your friends, especially someone who is younger or who could use your help. Others give you ideal support.

Neptune transits square Moon

You could get the wrong idea, develop false ideals, and let your imagination carry you away to the point that those who support and care for you are neglected or hurt. Walk a careful line when it comes to dreams versus realities. The dreams can be bad.

Your sensitivity and imagination increase tremendously at this time, and you are much more easily influenced by images, the psychic and emotional energy of other people, and the psychic atmosphere around you.

You may find yourself wanting to retreat from the abrasiveness, ugliness, or harsher realities of life, and to seek solace and comfort in nature, spiritual company, meditation, or your own inner world.

Strange moods and feelings that you may never have experienced before come and go during this time period. Part of this is that you are absorbing others' emotions and/or subtle psychic energy. Your sensitivity, receptivity, and empathy is so great right now that you may need to avoid negative, intensely emotional people, or even films or music depicting negative and unhappy imagery.

You are opening psychically at this time and it's very important to do it in a balanced way, and in a positive, supportive, or at least non-threatening atmosphere.

Positive Potentials:

Increased compassion and sympathetic awareness of others. Opening to the mystical, subtle, intangible realms and finding great love and beauty there. Mystical oneness. Connecting with the divine feminine.

Negative Potentials:

It is very easy to lose a sense of proportion and of what is real at this time. A confusion between archetypal or inner reality and physical reality. Over-identifying with spiritual or psychic experiences. A tendency to avoid or evade life through television, fantasy, intoxicants, or even spirituality. Living in a dream world. Tendencies toward addictions and dependencies increase. Self delusion.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Use well-grounded and trusted friends or advisors to get a perspective on your thoughts and experiences now. Live a well-balanced life that includes regular contact with nature, physical exercise, adequate diet and rest, and some kind of regular routine that grounds you in everyday life. Keep a journal of your fantasies, dreams, visions.

Simple psychic protection techniques, such as imagining yourself surrounded by an egg of white or golden light, and filling that space with positive energy, or praying and affirming that you are surrounded by the love and protection of a god, or similar visualizations and prayers could be done daily. -- From our Time Line Forecast Report.

*Periodic fits of irrational feelings, suspicions, compulsive emotions, and nostalgia make this period a difficult, trying one. You tend to have intuitive hunches that you have great faith in, but most often these hunches are either only partially correct or totally a figment of your imagination.

+You could get the wrong idea, develop false ideals, and let your imagination carry you away to the point that those who support and care for you are neglected or hurt. Walk a careful line when it comes to dreams versus realities. The dreams can be bad.

Neptune transits trine Moon

An opportunity to use your imagination to improve your living environment or beautify your surroundings. You may feel very idealistic about your friends, especially someone who is younger or who could use your help. Others give you ideal support.

During this period you have a heightened sensitivity to everything around you - at times an almost mystical sense of oneness or communion. Because of your increased sympathetic awareness of others' unspoken feelings and states of being, you feel more compassion and a greater desire to assist them. You may even find yourself talking to plants and listening to what the birds are telling you.

You may also experience more clearly the powerful affects of music, color, and atmospheres on your mood and sense of well-being. This is a good time to learn about feng shui, the Chinese art of creating harmonious, life-enhancing spaces to live or work in. Intuitive or psychic development courses, meditation, spiritual healing, dream work, and other such teachings or practices would benefit you a great deal at this time also.

Positive Potentials:

Increased sensitivity and openness to subtle and spiritual realities and spiritual guidance. Feeling emotionally and spiritually connected to all creation. Greater forgiveness and understanding in personal relationships. Mystical feelings of closeness with family or others. Heightened imagination opens new worlds and any work involving music, art, imagery, or healing is enhanced.

Negative Potentials:

There are few negatives associated with this cycle, unless you are already overly idealistic, fanciful, and impractical, in which case these tendencies may be somewhat more pronounced than usual.

Remedies and Suggestions:

Begin paying attention to your dreams, fantasies feelings, subtle impressions, inklings, and thoughts that seem unusual or unrelated to your usual way of thinking. Keep a journal to record these in, as they may contain inner guidance and creative seeds for future projects.

Say yes to your "silly" desire to paint, or write poetry, or to use your imagination in creative ways that may be new to you. Translate your empathy and charitable feelings into acts of generosity and kindness. -- From our Time Line Forecast Report.

*Your emotions are sensitized now. You are more responsive to subtle changes in mood, and you are more sensitive to delicate changes in the atmosphere around you.

Neptune transits opposite Moon

*Emotions run very high and deep now. Strange, unusual, even obsessive, feelings grip you now. These feelings are often irrational and out of character, so you are likely to squelch them; they seem childish, exceedingly sentimental, foolish, and out of proportion.

+A tendency to escape or withdraw into your imagination at the expense of your friends and supporters. You may be unrealistic, taken with dreams, psychic matters, and the like. Your living situation or a younger person may challenge your dreaminess.

Neptune-Mercury Transits

Neptune transits to Mercury directly affect your curiosity, learning, communication skills, self-promotion, the formulation of ideas, and your ability to rationalize and think logically.

Neptune transits conjunct Mercury Your thinking process becomes more animated, imaginative, and spirited during this transit. However, you can also find yourself mentally lazy and passive, finding it hard to concentrate on mundane matters. Details can be glossed over in favor of the bigger picture, and you can find it hard to stick to systems or schedules. Even people who are normally punctual might find it hard to be on time during this transit. If your work involves communications, advertising, publishing, or languages, you are able to breathe new life into these channels with increased intuition and imagination. Your writing and/or speech may become more poetic. You may encounter mysterious, confused, unusual, or spiritual experiences surrounding Mercury-ruled people and things (such as siblings, neighbors, travel, studies, and so forth) during this time.

What does Mercury rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Gemini and Virgo on the cusp for areas of your life where Neptune is acting to refine. Look to planets in Gemini and Virgo in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Neptune is now infusing with spirituality and sensitivity.

*Interest in non-technical, "right brain" subjects increases at this time. Your understanding of psychological dynamics increases. You can better grasp the reasons why people that you know act the way they do and you can better see the causes for problems in personal relationships.

+A time of inspiration and creativity, especially if you like to write or speak -- communication of all kinds. You are able to put your dreams and ideals into words. Could also be a time when you are a fuzzy thinker about practical decisions.

Neptune transits sextile Mercury

*You are more sympathetic and understanding of others now. You are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and you are not as pushy as usual. Even if you are normally very understanding and tolerant of others' foibles, you are able to reach a better rapport with others and be less resistant and defensive when others disagree with you or act in ways that are not agreeable with you.

+You are at your most poet, able to put your dreams and ideals into words and communicate them through speaking and writing. Your whole mental environment takes on an almost other-worldly hue during this time. Your muse wakes.

Neptune transits square Mercury

*Be extremely careful in all practical affairs at this time. You tend to overlook details, forget to consider some aspect of a problem, and make silly mistakes. Forgetfulness can be a serious problem.

+A long dreamy time when you find it easy to lose yourself in one flight of fancy or another, often at the expense of rational thinking and good judgment. Normally clear ideas are fuzzy now, and it is hard to be logical or consistent.

Neptune transits trine Mercury This is an imaginative and inspired period of time when problems are solved intuitively and naturally. If you write or speak for a living, this is an especially beneficial time when you are able to infuse imagination and animation into your communications. You may discover your own psychic or clairvoyant talents during this transit. At the very least, you have your finger on the pulse of what others want to hear and learn. This can mean that you are especially adept at advertising, but it also improves your relationships with others tremendously. The senses are dramatically heightened in general, although attention to detail may be lacking. You may take up, or renew, an interest in the psychic or divining arts. Your speech may slow down, as a reflection of your increased sensitivity to the world around you. You are absorbing things from your environment differently than before. You may be somewhat sensitive to criticism, and you may expect others to be as sincere as you are, so avoid subjecting yourself to situations that are too abrasive or harsh right now, if possible. This is a good time for writing fiction and any undertaking that requires imagination.

*Your intuition is very sharp at this time. Your psychological insight is excellent, and you can better understand what motivates others and what their needs are. You may also read books or attend workshops that greatly add to your understanding of people.

+You are at your most poetic, able to put your dreams and ideals into words and communicate them through speaking and writing. Your whole mental environment takes on an almost other-worldly hue during this time. Your muse wakes.

Neptune transits opposite Mercury

*Your imagination is a bit wild at this time. You get carried away with fantasy, fiction, and metaphysical musing. Your imagination is so keen that you may project your ideals and fantasies on others, and consequently may not always accurately assess situations at this time.

+It could be easy to get carried away and to ignore facts or think in a fuzzy or deluded manner. Your ideals (what you imagine for yourself) may be challenged by the ideas and thoughts of others. Communications could become blurred.

Neptune-Venus Transits

Neptune transits to Venus stimulate your desires to share pleasures with significant others and with friends in perhaps unusual or especially sensitive ways. They urge you to find new meaning in your life through leisure activities and/or romance. These transits also affect your urge to acquire new material goods and your finances in general.

Neptune transits conjunct Venus You are more sensitive than ever to emotional stimulus at this time, as your love and pleasure nature is heightened. You are opening up your heart, which can also mean you are more vulnerable to romantic illusions. You find yourself especially idealistic, romantic, and charming. You are also very easily charmed as well, and you must watch for a tendency to see what you want to see in romantic partners. You may gloss over important details and practical concerns in favor of idealistic visions and perceptions. Your desires are tender and compassionate. You are responsive to all things pleasurable. Finances can suffer under this transit if you have a tendency to live on credit. Try not to borrow from your future, not just with regards to finances. Force yourself to consider practical matters, even though you may resist it, while opening your heart to new possibilities. And, while opening your heart to new possibilities, be sure to use some common sense.

What does Venus rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Taurus and Libra on the cusp for areas of your life where Neptune is acting to dissolve outdated attitudes and refine perceptions. Look to planets in Taurus and Libra in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Neptune is now infusing with sensitivity and spirituality.

*Dreamy and exotic feelings overcome you now. You are also hypnotized by glamour, romance, and fantasy. You may dream of visiting a South Sea or Hawaiian island. In fact, you will probably visit fascinating, glamorous, or inspiring places now.

+A time to appreciate philosophy, religion, and all that is mystical. Your value system and the way you care for others may shoot up a notch to a higher plane. Imaginative purchases and acquisitions are at an all-time high. Not a very practical time.

Neptune transits sextile Venus

*Your compassion, sympathy, love, and concern for others is magnified now. Your heart reaches out to others more readily, and you are more willing to extend yourself and offer assistance. If there is someone that you are having difficulty communicating with, now is a good time to break through the barrier between you.

+An appreciation for ideas and thoughts that are quite other-worldly is upon you. It is easy for you to love and be compassionate and to value what life offers. You have a sense of unity and brotherhood that will stay with you. A renewed set of values.

Neptune transits square Venus

*A great deal of illusion, idealism, and fantasy enters into your romantic relationships now. Your romantic fantasies and dreams surface now, and you may abruptly decide to live out some of your fantasies.

+Your current bout of idealism may carry you away to the point of damaging or obscuring your true life values. Probably not the best time to make aesthetic or value judgments, since your ability to appreciate may be blurred or unrealistic.

Neptune transits trine Venus

*You are in a loving, generous, helpful mood during this time period. Your values are more altruistic, and you are less concerned with personal gain than you are with making important contributions to life and helping others.

Neptune transits opposition Venus

*Your romantic relationships undergo changes now. If you are not involved in any romantic relationships now, you probably will be by the time this astrological influence is over. The changes arise because you are extremely dreamy, idealistic and impassioned in any romantic relationship.

+Others may not appreciate your expressed ideals and goals or may challenge them. You could find it easy to get carried away and be indiscriminate or lose hold of your sense of values. You could do something that goes against your own sense of good taste.

Neptune-Mars Transits

Neptune transits to Mars affect your drive and desire nature, strength, as well as your ability to assert yourself.

Neptune transits conjunct Mars Although your focus may be compromised and physical energy scattered, there is a strong potential for you to improve your intuition and magnetic powers. You may be in the right place at the right time. The effects of this transit will have much to do with the condition of Mars in your chart. You may, for example, be inclined to take shortcuts or to not know where you are headed exactly, and attract negative influences as a result. You may feel uninspired or lazy due to lack of motivation or a feeling of directionlessness. You may have a hard time drumming up the confidence to move forward. On the other hand, you can be extremely inspired if your personality is extroverted, and/or if you work with Neptune instead of against it. Neptune is urging you to become more refined with regards to your desire nature, anger management, and assertive tendencies. Incorporating more imagination, compassion, and spirituality into these parts of your personality will help you to not only "manage" the transit, but to learn from it.

*Your attitude towards your work goes through some big ups and downs at this time. You become dissatisfied with modest and mediocre progress. Your imagination gets fired up and you dream of grandiose accomplishments.

+You may find that you have intuitive and psychic abilities that have never surfaced before. An urge may exist to be more devoted to high ideals and to making your dreams real. You may feel emotions of a religious nature. Don't get carried away.

Neptune transits sextile Mars

*You are more humble, receptive, and less aggressive in your work now. Others are more willing to give you advice and criticism because you are not as rigid and defensive as usual.

+Moody, even dreamy, during this period of time. Your emotions and feelings could reach heights that are close to ecstatic. It is easy for you to find the proper motivation to fulfill your ideals or make your dreams into reality.

Neptune transits square Mars

*Work and important projects undergo difficult changes now. You are likely to feel very frustrated and disheartened at times, but don't completely lose faith and throw everything out the window! This is certainly a time of questioning your values, goals, and directions in life, but try to come to rational decisions rather than act simply out of frustration.

+Your current crop of dreams and ideals may not feel right to you or may seem to go against all that normally motivates you. It may be easy to be misled and to find yourself pouring energy and effort into directions that will bring no return.

Neptune transits trine Mars

*Your motivations and personal ambitions become more elevated and idealistic now. You are able to see your work in better perspective. Rather than focusing on the strictly personally rewarding aspects of your efforts (for example, your income, amount of vacation time, and other amenities), you are more sensitive to the value of your service as a contribution to society.

Neptune transits opposite Mars

*You approach your work and important projects with an unusual degree of imagination, idealism, and optimism now. Be careful! You are prone to shoot for the stars now, but never get off the ground. You may speculate, gamble, or put all your eggs in one basket.

+Your imagination and fancied ideals may mislead you to the point of motivating you in a wrong direction. Your real feelings could be obscured by some supposed spiritual or humanitarian ideal. Later you may feel you did the wrong thing.

Neptune-Jupiter Transits

Neptune Transits Conjunct Jupiter
*Restlessness, expansiveness, travel, imagination, and philosophy are key issues now. This is the time to spread your wings and explore imaginative new possibilities.

+You could find yourself pursuing more spiritual directions or finding someone who can guide you to realizing your inner dreams and ideals. Your path is toward cooperation and union with others, even at the expense of the practical and selfish.

Neptune Transits Sextile Jupiter
*You are in a generous and tolerant mood during this time period. You easily forgive others for their faults and are ready to overlook foibles in others' personalities. Your tolerant, accepting attitude makes relationships with others pleasant and positive.

Neptune Transits Square Jupiter
*Extreme restlessness and discontent with the limitations of your current situation incline you to speculate and gamble on ways to quickly change your life. There is a strong tendency to exaggerate and put on a front to impress others and gain the advancement that you seek.

+A time when false optimism and high-falootin' ideals may wind up affecting your career. It could be easy to make career moves now that are the result of deception, yours or somebody else's. Your imagination carries you in a wrong direction.

Neptune Transits Trine Jupiter
*Your imagination is stirred, you feel inspired, restless, and ready for bigger and better things in your life. You want to break out of your usual routine and explore more imaginative and creative options.

+Your career could become almost ideal, or you could find yourself taking an interest in more spiritual and mystical matters. The direction of your life could turn more to questions of religion and world unity. Occult and esoteric subjects may concern you.

Neptune Transits Opposition Jupiter
*Speculation, optimism, restlessness, and perhaps downright foolhardiness are key issues now. Everyday life seems drab and dreary to you now, and you explore bigger, more exciting, more exotic alternatives. This is an excellent time to travel or go on vacation.

+It could be easy for high-sounding ideas and false ideals to mislead you into making career or vocational decisions that are wrong for you. Be careful that you don't involve yourself in some plan to misguide or deceive another.

Neptune-Saturn Transits

Neptune Transits Conjunct Saturn
+Problems could lose some of their definition and appear less difficult now. You might have a sense of living in a dream world or of being awake in your own dream. Everything seems less solid and definite. The spirit world seems real and possible.

Neptune Transits Sextile Saturn
+The problems and responsibilities of life may be seen in a new light, as part of a larger drama you are living (almost like a dream). You are able to handle difficulties more easily, seeing them as part of a larger story.

Neptune Transits Square Saturn
+There could be a tendency to view your accomplishments as having almost no substance during this time. A false set of ideals may mislead you and cause you to neglect your responsibilities and get lost in what will amount to a bunch of nothing.

Neptune Transits Trine Saturn
+The problems and responsibilities of life may be seen in a new light, as part of a larger drama you are living (almost like a dream). You are able to handle difficulties more easily, seeing them as part of a larger story.

Neptune Transits Opposition Saturn
+Misguided idealism and false spirituality could find you ignoring responsibilities in favor of a lot of high-sounding talk. You might find yourself losing your resolve or determination to take care of business and get things accomplished.

Neptune-Ascendant Transits

Neptune Transits Conjunct Ascendant
*You are more concerned with bringing high ideals and noble purposes into your life now than you are with gaining personal recognition or personal gain. You are more tolerant of others and less pushy. In fact, you are very impressionable at times and you tend to idolize others who exhibit the kinds of qualities that you aspire to.

+After this time, you will find it much easier to express and communicate your inner dreams and ideals to others. A sense of imagination and unity previously limited to your mind becomes a reality for you and is carried through to your person.

Neptune Transits Sextile Ascendant
*You encounter people now who are very considerate, understanding and nonjudgmental. You are also likely to form relationships with people based on a deep level of mutual appreciation and understanding for each other. You are in touch with your more sensitive, spiritual qualities, and you are able to express a greater level of sensitivity and greater empathy than usual.

+A dreamy manner or appearance, plus the ability to enchant others, finds this a time when mysticism and idealism seem to really be living in you.

Neptune Transits Square Ascendant
*Some adjustments in the way you express yourself and treat others are required now. Others may complain that you are not sincere with them, you are too domineering or passive, or unfair in some respect. You may also find yourself feeling the need to approach others about the way they express themselves and treat others.

+You could feel much more intuitive and psychic than heretofore possible. You may sense and feel things that others do not. It is not a time when you are at your most practical; you lose yourself in home and family.

Neptune Transits Trine Ascendant
*You encounter people now who are very considerate, understanding and nonjudgmental. You are also likely to form relationships with people based on a deep level of mutual appreciation and understanding for each other. You are in touch with your more sensitive, spiritual qualities, and you are able to express a greater level of sensitivity and greater empathy than usual.

+A dreamy manner or appearance, plus the ability to enchant others, finds this a time when mysticism and idealism seem to really be living in you.

Neptune Transits Opposition Ascendant
*Be very careful and circumspect about any new relationship that forms now. You are likely to form new relationships of both a personal and business nature that you have high hopes for, but you are likely to eventually become disappointed by these relationships. You tend to project your ideals and fantasies on others now, and not really see them objectively and clearly.

+You tend to idealize others, in particular your partners and relationships, during this time period. It is dawning on you that a spirit of community and togetherness is preferable to personal differences.

Neptune-Midheaven Transits

Neptune Transits Conjunct Midheaven
*Major changes in your career occur at this time. You are in a transition phase where you are more concerned with really bringing your ideals and dreams down to earth and implementing them in your life. You are likely to feel that your current employment involves too many compromises.

+Your goals and ideals are uplifted during this period and take on a more spiritual or mystical dimension than heretofore. Your work may take on some higher purpose, or you may find yourself feeling more community-oriented. Great aspirations and goals.

Neptune Transits Sextile Midheaven
*A spirit of cooperation and shared ideals imbues your career pursuits with a satisfying, inspiring quality now. Supervisors, employers, employees, and co-workers show that they will extend themselves and make sacrifices "when the chips are down". Consequently, your work and career gain a greater dimension of meaningfulness and importance to you.

+Your career could take a turn toward the idealistic, or you could find yourself developing a practical sense for making your dreams a reality. Uplifting for the career.

Neptune Transits Square Midheaven
*Changing attitudes and doubts about your career and overall situation in life can eat away at you now. This problem is particularly strong if you have not been honest with yourself, kidding yourself about where your current life is leading you, or ignoring your dreams and ideals because you feel they are unrealistic.

+You tend to idealize others -- in particular, your partners and relationships -- during this time period. It is dawning on you that a spirit of community and togetherness is preferable to personal differences.

Neptune Transits Trine Midheaven
*Your approach to your work and career is highly imaginative at this time, and you come up with interesting, creative ideas. Your intuition is excellent and the imaginative changes that you introduce now are likely to work very nicely.

+Your career could take a turn toward the idealistic, or you could find yourself developing a practical sense for making your dreams a reality. Uplifting for the career.

Neptune Transits Opposition Midheaven
*A shift in moods and attitudes occurs at this time that will continue to affect you deeply for many years to come. You are emotionally and psychically very sensitive now, but often it is difficult for you to clearly express what you are feeling.

+You could feel much more intuitive and psychic than heretofore possible. You may sense and feel things that others do not. Not a time when you are at your most practical; you lose yourself in home and family.

A general description of transiting Neptune - excerpt from the Sky Log report:

"The planet Neptune is presently tinting and shading your biography, adding its dreamlike quality to the existential stew. Close your eyes; there's a world in there. That's Neptune, the planet of consciousness itself. Now open your eyes. There's a world out there too, and it's hard to ignore it. In fact, the outer world has become so pressing in its demands that you've partly lost contact with the inner one. But Neptune, transiting through sensitive territories for you now, is fixing that. Your inner world is so full it's brimming over, overflowing its banks into your daily life. If you resist the process, you'll find a host of Neptune problems plaguing you: losing the car keys, forgetting to pay the electric bill, having the attention span of a three-year-old on a sugar jag. But there's an alternative: trust the process. Slow down. Meditate. Let the images come. Mould opinions. Breathe in, breathe out. Why? Because your unconscious mind has a message for you. It has to do with the possibility of happiness for you over the next few years, about how old sources of joy are drying up and -- critically -- about new ones you must learn to recognize. How do you receive the message? You stop resisting. You simply let it in. That's Neptune in the broad sense."
