Neptune into Pisces

Neptune went from Aquarius into Pisces for the first time since 1847 on April 4th, remaining there until August 4th, then going back into Aquarius until February 3rd of 2012 and remaining in Pisces until March of 2025.

I wrote about this in my forecast for 2011, but I wanted to add a few comments to this newsletter.

Neptune involves faith in things you cannot touch. Aquarius is group consciousness, ruled by Uranus, which rules electricity and innovations and technology. Neptune went into Aquarius in 1998 and the easiest global phenomena that fits the criterion above is the global social network of ‘The Web.’ Most of us still don’t know exactly what it is or how it works, but surrendering to a faith in it, (surrender, faith, additional Neptunian keywords) we have attained an Aquarian group consciousness, fueling things like revolutions in totalitarian states that would have been inconceivable in 1998.

Neptune, however, rules the sign of Pisces and I have a feeling ‘You ain’t seen nuthin yet.”

Someone who is Pisces, according to the Ascended Master Hilarion in the book: Astrology Plus is someone who has committed suicide in a previous life because of emotional pain that was too great to bear. This gives the Pisces an echoing memory of sadness in this life. It also gives the Pisces the capacity to make of their heart a well of compassion for the needs of others, which is their best way out of that sadness. Pisces have to avoid some negative Neptunian type temptations, such as escapism through too much drugs or alcohol, or sleeping too much, or watching TV all of the time. This kind of escapism could be quite pumped up during this time of Neptune in Pisces.

But Neptune is attributed by modern Kabbalists to the top sphere on the Tree of Life, the Divine in its aspect of Pure Being, with neither force nor form.

In this regard I often state that Pisces are ‘closet mystics’ until they ‘come out.’ And I think attaining mystical states of consciousness will become as fashionable during this period of Neptune in Pisces as was ‘tweeting’ in the last days of Neptune in Aquarius.

In this transitional Aquarius/Pisces cusp we are seeing a lot of globally, electronically connected group consciousness of Piscean suffering and vulnerability, especially as I noted in my last newsletter, how the last day of Uranus in Pisces coincided with the Neptunian/Piscean Sea inundating the coast of Japan.

I tend to feel that deep, global, mystical spiritual surrender is the order of the day for this Neptune in Pisces period. It would be nice if we could do that by going into deep meditation and spiritual ceremonies. I’m afraid that short of that, it may be facilitated by more collective suffering. There may also be primitive, distorted versions of mystical communion facilitated by huge numbers of people electronically entering into the same ‘alternate reality.’

I feel the more that those of us who are seeking to become spiritually conscious can open up to the positive potentials of Neptune in Pisces through deep meditation (I personally recommend Vipassana: www.dhamma.org) the more we can aid the world to move into and integrate this new energy field in positive ways that can involve a tremendous transcendence of ego, compassion and spiritual communion. The more we move into those positive Neptune/Pisces potentials the more we can alleviate the collective’s needs to move into that state of surrender in less pleasant/ confused/ escapist/suffering victimhood and martyrdom type ways. Looking at the present state of the world it is likely to be a mixed bag.

Let us all do what we can on our part.

Blessings,
