My experience of Neptune chimes more with Laura’s description. On several occasions it’s been a shocking correction of assumptions. From the perspective of distance perhaps a growing experience and I’d have to admit probably for the best in the end, but quite impossible to see that at the time.

Dear Laura

Several times during the writing of a blog I catch myself thinking “Is this too cheery or too scary?” so I welcome a rise in the level of debate about this issue. Your comment illustrates the complexity and the subtlety of the Neptunian processes, and may help others negotiate them. My own Neptune process crystallized when it transited my Sun, and I sat and wrote a set of zodiac poems over the course of 2 days. So I have come to associate Neptunian transits with a creative partnership with the spirit world. Our individual experiences of a transiting planet can be coloured by the condition of our natal planet, e.g. if we have another planet (say Saturn) in aspect to it, then a transit can at the same time bring up Saturnian issues. My own Neptune remedy is meditation, balancing the energies and re-connecting with spiritual sources. Maybe others will write about their Neptunian experiences. Thanks very much for your contribution.

Love
Lana

I was not anticipating any highs this past weekend, but despite some pain in the process of my illusions being revealed to me before their dissolution, I can report ‘slightly euphoric highs’ which helped me through, both Saturday and Sunday. Also Monday and into today, where I am arrived with wonderful insights, albeit without glamour.

I just want to point out that a trine involving Neptune does not necessarily lead to a “slightly euphoric high” and I speak from experience. Neptune reveals and dissolves both our illusions and our attachments to them which is painful and depressing in effect because we feel powerless to halt the dissolution process. It seems to me that the trine makes Neptune more powerful in its action because we are less able to resist it.

The upside, if we can withstand its action, is a new ability to recognise the truth of who we are and the world around us. One of my guides pointed out that Neptune has the ability to dissolve limitations and boundaries to our perception of reality enabling our awareness to expand and to recognise more clearly the world of maya; glamour and illusion.

Sadly I am not keen on mention of a bumpier ride this week. It cannot be worse than last, yet there is always rewards for these challenges. So perhaps instead of hiding me head under the sand, which was my first thought, I will stick it above the parapet and takes what comes. With as open a Heart as I can muster, and fore warned as ever with your insights too, thanks Lana.

Dear, dear, dear Lana!!!! Thanks so much for putting my mind at ease regarding my complete and utter exhaustion. I thought it was entirely JET LAG …. capitalised due to the profundity of it! Now I realise it’s Gemini maybe I can live another week! With the heart featuring so heavily this week I hope mine survives – on all levels! Maybe the extra sleep I have had this weekend due to the Sun/Venus/retrograde mecury in Gemini (what a mouthful!) will just protect me enough to get through. Thanks so much for all your insight and YOUR open heart!
