Neptune has been floating on Pisces’ final degree since October 22/23. As it stations direct, it will gradually pick up steam for its ingress into Aries at the end of January. This is the last full month of Neptune in Pisces, and we’re permitted a nostalgic recap before its curtain call.
Neptune first entered Pisces in 2011. Where were you? Cue the harps: this was a year where iPhones were just beginning to overtake Blackberries. Popular music was dominated by anthemic party tracks. The Marvel Cinematic Universe was still in its infancy. Instagram was a place to share a sepia-toned picture of your lunch. A lot can happen in 14 years, especially when the planet of inspiration and creativity enters a sign where there are no limits, just vibes.
Much has been imagineered into existence since 2011. Yet when anything is possible, lines will blur between glamour and the grotesque. Not all dreams SHOULD become realities. Neptune in Pisces has spotlighted the culture of consent and non-consent, especially in the realm of media consumption. As you review this transit, reflect upon what you have opted into under the guise of perpetuating a fantasy, of maintaining the illusion of flow, ease and access, or attaining proximity to celebrity, influence and spiritual enlightenment.
In The Little Mermaid, a very Neptune-in-Pisces tale/tail, Ariel signs a contract with the sea witch, trading her voice for the promise of love. The deal sounds good on paper, after all, it’s LOVE. But Pisces has a funny way of obscuring ugly realities with idealism. After 14 years, consider what you have sacrificed (Pisces) for your dream (Neptune). The new dream will require recognizing the duplicity of the arrangement and taking the initiative (Aries) to void bad faith terms.
