Neptune Enters its Own Sign - Pisces

People will begin to see through and beyond religious dogmas and come to realize how much these cause separation in a world where we simply cannot afford it, given our technological powers of destruction. To gain further clues we can look to Neptune; the ruling planet for Pisces. Neptune continues to be in exact conjunction with Chiron in Aquarius. In 2009, Jupiter was there as well forming a triple conjunction but it has since raced ahead and Neptune and Chiron continue their slow and intimate waltz. The involvement of Neptune conjunct Chiron suggests that humanity as a species is wounded and sick and that it is time to heal. While new solutions to the problems of life are emerging daily, they will not be enough in the short term to heal the wounds and sickness that we are already experiencing and which stand to increase measurably over the coming years. This is not to say that we won’t eventually heal them, only that the process will not be quick and/or easy, perhaps not at all. For time frames, we will have to look to the larger time given for this conjunction seed to sprout and grow. We are speaking about 80 years.

The main point is that the healing that is suggested is not restricted to any country or region, rather it points to the entire human race and to the planet in general. Over the course of the year, both Neptune and Chiron will enter Pisces. Chiron will take the lead while Neptune is at the last degree of Aquarius. This means that the Ingress chart for Chiron in Pisces posits Neptune at 28 Aquarius – is the planet of highest degree meaning that it is the main focus ‘at the end of the day’ in light of Chiron’s ingress chart. The 28th and 29th degree of Aquarius are said to be connected to higher spiritual agencies and the suggestion here is that in order to heal the problems of the world it is likely that we will have to, (and people will feel inspired) to call upon these higher spiritual powers to assist us. How we will do this is another question. Awareness of their existence is the first step and deep reverence for higher realities is the second. Once this is in place, spiritual gatherings and meditations, prayers and chants will fulfill the requirements.

Neptune conjunct Chiron in Pisces over the course of 2011 we will gain more examples of the mass awakening to the collective wounds we carry. This theme is further illustrated in the Solar eclipse itself. The escalation of riots in the world like London England and Rome Italy and the Julian Assange / Wikileaks drama are likely to be understood as foreshadows of things to come soon. The eclipse also hints at economic troubles and given the escalating downturn of the U.S. economy and subsequently the global economy, 2011 stands to be marked with rising collective stress levels and with riots the likes of which we have already seen and perhaps worse. By extension, international relations will also feel the strain and this could well spill over into border disputes…

Neptune’s transit through its own sign of Pisces is yet another indication of mass spiritual awakening and healing at best, or mass deception and denial, at worst. (See Neptune ingress Pisces chart HERE). Chiron is a key player now in the pantheon of planets, yet Neptune is now officially the furthest official planet as Pluto has been re-classified. There is something quite appropriate with this designation by the way because Neptune is symbolic of the veils that divide dimensions. Pluto/Charon is perhaps best seen in its mechanical purpose of ensuring evolutionary process where the old is ever being replaced by the new.

Neptune will enter Pisces on April 4, 2011. What is most significant about this chart is that there is a 6-planet stellium (grouping) in Aries! This suggests that the influences of Neptune in Pisces will spread like wild fire! This stellium in Aries merits its own special focus which I will do later on. For now, know this – on the New Moon in Aries April 3, 2011, and in that seed chart, will be 6 planets in Aries with Mars and Uranus exactly conjunct, and with the Sun, Moon and Jupiter in very close alignment! This is a very dynamic and progressive chart and it is a powerful theme in-tune with all the other initiatives and big action slated for 2011.
