Perspective: Neptune in Pisces by Jessica Murray

Neptune is the also-ran outer planet. It hasn’t been getting the press that Uranus and Pluto have been getting. But it is stationing in mid-November in the sign of its rulership, Pisces, where it is maximally strong (2011-2025). These weeks of its station provide a window into its power. Neptunian power is all-encompassing but subtle, like the smell of salt water in the air. We feel it buzzing in the collective vibration like an ocean of bees. The shadow side of this placement includes free-floating anxiety, the most debilitating type of fear. It seems to be nowhere and everywhere at once. With no clear sense of where the perceived danger is coming from, we readily displace our fear, projecting it upon imagined perils. Terrorists on every street corner, deadly viruses coming at us from the guy next to us on the bus. Right now, from a background position, Neptune is interacting with the other two outer planets. At their worst, the three augment eachother’s shadow. Neptune washes the atmosphere with a generalized anxiety that jacks up agitation (Uranus) into hysteria, making us perfect subjects for manipulation and control (Pluto).In this scenario the mass mind is dangerously suggestible. Once the herd mentality gains momentum, people get spooked by whomever the authorities identify as an enemy. In our era, the word/concept terrorist (a.k.a. militant/ extremist/ insurgent) has captured the imagination of the herd, as “Communist” did for an earlier generation. Buying into this kind of group-think is terrible for our well-being as individuals. Not only do we lose our moral and spiritual integrity – we hardly remember they exist. How do we avoid being pulled into the chaos swirling around us? We start by understanding what’s happening. Then we work on taking responsibility for our own use of Neptune. Where is it transiting in your chart right now? Locate it, or have an astrologer explain its position.
