Neptune stationed direct in 7 degrees of Pisces on November
18th at 11:31 a.m.and we are still feeling the repercussions of that
station. In addition to being a
Scorpio, I am also very much a Neptunian with Neptune in the first house
conjunct my ascendant. I tried to inject
a positive spin on this astrological event when I tweeted the following on
November 18th:
“There is more potential for dreams to become a reality
today as Neptune in Pisces stations direct after 5 month retrograde.”
I also loved the way fellow astrologer Kristin Fontana
described Neptune going direct:
“The emotional fog will dissipate and you can see the truth
for what it is no matter how bitter the taste at times.”
Neptune’s station has the unnerving quality of making you
wonder if you’re blessed with divine insight or losing your mind. Self-deception can prevail when Neptune is
about to make a station as we question reality.
It’s a common theme that I have heard from my clients recently—why is
this happening to me and is it real? But
Neptune can also generate compassion, and I am trying to rely on that to get me
through the adjustment period of Neptune stationing direct. We all know that when a planet stations
direct or retrograde, the energy of that planet will be intensified for a few
days until it settles into its new direction.
Neptune has been retrograde since June 12, 2015 and I know that it has
been an intense time for a lot of people.
On November 19th the moon moved into Pisces,
inspiring me to tweet a sentiment that seemed to resonate for many of my
followers:
“Moon enters Pisces today and conjuncts Neptune
tonight. Expect to feel either inspired
or delusional. Still adjusting to
#NeptuneStation.”
The theme of a reality check emerges big-time on November
26th when Saturn in Sagittarius forms an exact square Neptune in
Pisces in 7 degrees of both signs. This
is Thanksgiving Day in the United States and it is also a full moon. It should be an interesting day and time will
tell if that 7 degrees is lucky or not.
In the meantime, the Sun is preparing to exit the sign of
Scorpio. It will enter the sign of
Sagittarius on November 22nd.
The Scorpio Sun conjuncted Mercury in Scorpio in 24 degrees on November
17th, inspiring me to tweet:
“Sun conjunct Mercury in Scorpio bodes well for in-depth
communication. Last call to get to the
root of the matter.”
That aspect conjuncted my natal Venus in Scorpio in the
second house. I did find myself engaged
in conversations about my values and had an interesting telephone consultation
with a new astrology client which proved to be very illuminating for both of
us. It was definitely a day when mental adjustment about our reality was in
order. But Mercury will leave Scorpio on
November 20th at 2:43 p.m. and enter the more open, free-wheeling
sign of Sagittarius. I sense that the
Scorpionic energy will still dominate that day because we also have Venus in
Libra squaring Pluto in Capricorn in 12 degrees at 9:02 p.m. Relationships may very well experience a lot
of obsessive energy, which is Scorpio at its core.
Scorpio is an extremely complicated sign and experiencing
it at its fullest can be exhausting because of the depth and intensity that it
entails. It is the only sign in the
zodiac that has three animal symbols: the Scorpion, the Eagle and the Phoenix. The Scorpion dwells in the darkness and holds
onto negativity and resentments. It is
renowned (or reviled) for its venomous verbal sting. Yet the Eagle soars higher in the sky and
closer to the light by trying to attain a higher perspective. It is a balancing act between the light and the
shadow, which is not always comfortable or easy.
And then there is the Phoenix, which is all about embracing
the process of transformation, which is an integral part of the Scorpio
persona. The Phoenix sets it nest on
fire and is consumed by the flames in order to be reborn.
Personally, I can attest to the fact that I have had the
full blown Scorpio experience in the past few weeks. I have been forced to confront my own
negativity and feelings of resentment recently while trying to heal and make
peace with these shadow sides of myself.
It doesn’t help matters that I also have Mercury in Scorpio, so I am
definitely not immune to the tendency towards lashing out verbally. So I have been down and dirty with the
Scorpion, attempted to soar like an eagle to rise above the fray, and am also
embracing the concept of transformation and rebirth embodied by the Phoenix
because deep down I know that rebirth is necessary. But as I have often said,
rebirth ain’t pretty. Letting go is hard
work. I am very grateful that my
astrology, Reiki and psychic work is a constructive outlet for me because I tend
to attract clients with similar issues who help heal me as much I help heal
them. It never ceases to amaze me what I
can learn about myself from my clients. Like most people, I struggle with the
ego trying to rule my life, when the bottom line is that sometimes you have to
let go of that ego and face your shadow side
I think that facing our shadow side so that we can
transform our lives into something more positive and healthy is the mission of
the Sun in Scorpio. But it is an intense
ride, so most of us tend to welcome its departure. Sagittarius has a much lighter, open vibe and
is just what we need to usher us into the holiday season. Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers in
the United States!
