Neptune in Pisces 2012 - 2025

 

The planet Neptune will be in the sign of Pisces from February 3, 2012 to 2025. Neptune takes about 164 years to make a complete cycle, spending about thirteen years in each sign. Neptune is considered the modern day ruler of the planet Pisces so it will have truly come home after its long journey around the Zodiac.

Neptune was a son of Rhea, the earth mother, and Saturn, the prevailing sky god who ruled over the rest of the Roman pantheon. Fearing that his children would one day usurp him, Neptune was swallowed by his father immediately after his birth, as were the rest of his brothers and sisters. He was eventually saved by his mother, who tricked Saturn by offering him a large stone wrapped in swaddling clothes in place of her sixth child, Jupiter. Saturn was forced to vomit up Neptune and the rest of his siblings in the process of ridding the stone from his digestive system. In alternative versions, Neptune was thrown into the sea by his father as soon as he was born. Either way, Neptune went on to play a key role in assisting Jupiter in usurping Saturn and the rest of the Titans. After Saturn’s defeat, the three brothers Jupiter, Pluto and Neptune divided up the universe among themselves, assuming jurisdiction over the sky, the underworld and the sea, respectively. One interpretation can be summarized: Saturn (esoterically associated with man’s limitations, restrictions, death, decay and time) cannot prevail against Neptune (symbolic of water, consciousness, spirit and transcendence).

The energy of Neptune is very slow and nebulous. It can shroud us in mystery, heighten our spiritual awareness or drive us to the depths of despair. The energy of Neptune is very difficult to understand or grasp unlike the other planets. As it is far away from the earth, its energy takes time to reach the earth or it gets dissipated on the way according to Astrologers. However, its effects are generational, long term. Therefore, babies being born during this period may grow up to usher in the “new age” (not necessarily for the good though).

Neptune is the planet symbolically associated with illusion, delusion, glamour, spirituality, psychic ability, sacrificial love, deception, dreams, intuition, invention, magic, perception, arts, psychology, consciousness, philosophy, esotericism, occult, imagination, mysticism, emotion, transcendence, subjectivity, shadow side of life, scandal, addiction, sensationalism, paranoia, mass media, drugs, alcohol, deceit and indulgence. It is the planet of fog, mist, water, oil and the seas. It rules photography and cinema - both forms of illusion.

Neptune rules Pisces, therefore retains all the qualities and characteristics of that sign. Pisceans are very concerned about the problems of the world; they feel that it is a personal duty to make the universe a better place. On the positive side, Pisceans are imaginative, sensitive, compassionate, kind, selfless, unworldly, intuitive and sympathetic. On the negative side, they are escapist, idealistic, secretive, vague, weak-willed and easily led.

Neptune governs hospitals, prisons, mental institutions, military and any place, such as a monastery, that involves a retreat from society. Its appearance coincided with the discovery of anesthetics and hypnotism. Neptune is also related to viruses, epidemics and bacteriology. Neptune in Pisces also represents nature in its raw form, before human intervention, and includes the wild — the jungles and natural resources — as well as natural events.

During its last stay in Pisces from 1847-1861, in political terms Neptune was linked to the rise of nationalist movements throughout Europe in countries like Germany, Italy, Hungary, Ireland and Serbia, seeking independence for their nations inspired by an idealized past of legend. It was also linked to the rise of socialism and the beginnings of the welfare state. Slavery in America was also abolished. Neptune coincided with the utopian ideals of Communism, when Marx and Engels first published ’The Communist Manifesto’ in 1848 and and in 1859 Charles Darwin published the Origin of the Species. Pioneer spiritualists also thrived. In Victorian England opium use was acceptable and legal. The Pre Raphaelite Brotherhood, was formed in 1848 and existed until 1860, almost exactly mirroring Neptune’s previous journey through Pisces.

During the next 13 years, we’ll definitely see political systems representing “a perfect society” being strived for and we will see reforms in health care (and medicine), prison systems and the arts. It seems this is the ripe time for globalists to push forward their agendas. Of course, there is always the flip side. It would also be a time to see individual sovereignty prevail, clean technologies released, more impactful music and film (less Hollywood shite), natural cures, an overall deeper awakening to the natural world and the ability to do as you will and go un-noticed.

Adding all these up, you can probably guess considering the current state of our world, things can go either really good or really bad during the next 13 years. Either we’ll believe a lie and become easily led into the murky water of our demise or we’ll utilize these influences to truly enlighten ourselves so we can break the spell holding us hostage in an artificial world. The time for new ideology is here but what way will it go?  Einstein, a famous Pisces said, “As the circle of light increases, so does the circumference of darkness around it.”

As we stand at the doorway of the Age of Aquarius, this passage of Neptune in Pisces represents a completion of sorts – a final test of our ability to rise above the urge to lose ourselves in unconscious urges and escapist behavior and instead achieve a higher level of conscious awareness in the elevation of our ideals and dreams.

Chiron and Neptune in Pisces: For the first eight years that Neptune moves through Pisces Chiron will be there as well.  In its role as the Wounded Healer (or as I prefer to call it, the Soul Healer) Chiron reveals any area in our world which requires release and healing so that a greater wisdom may emerge.  We are likely to see a more advanced wave of “designer” drugs – pharmaceuticals designed to evoke certain experiences.  The legalization of marijuana for medical use, and its adoption by pharmaceutical companies for profit, is likely to come rather quickly.

The ways in which we entertain ourselves are certain to change as well.  Games such as the Wii will transform into more realistic virtual worlds, and televisions will go beyond 3-dimensional to provide an experience that intensifies all of the senses beyond what the human experience can offer on its own.  This is likely to result in a new type of addiction as the more subtle forms of experience of the natural world takes a back seat.  We are already seeing a form of this in the realm of sexuality, where the wide availability of pornography on the Web is creating sexual dysfunction in a growing number of men for whom a sexual experience with a live person cannot compete with the intensity of the pornographic experience.

Astrology Liz Greene calls Pisces the “Celestial Dustbin,” because it is the sum total of all of our experiences.  In Pisces we long to return to the source – to merge with a greater experience that goes beyond the limits of our senses.  The collective consciousness, or unconsciousness as the case may be, is more readily accessible under the Piscean influence and with Neptune traveling through Pisces life could become much more confusing as the veils between the realms of experience become thinner and easier to traverse.

Neptune wants to inspire us to transcend ordinary reality, and its ideal expression is to seek this transcendence through a connection with the divine.  This is the source of the creative fire, as we channel any type of creative output through our more limited conscious experience.  As Neptune travels through Pisces we have an opportunity to more easily stretch ourselves beyond the limits of our intuition and conscious awareness.  Our capacity for compassion for the suffering can grow and our hearts can open.  If we ground ourselves in a spiritual practice we will be able to take advantage of the opening flower of divine wisdom that will be available to us, especially during the period in which Chiron is also in Pisces.

With Uranus squaring Pluto over the next four years, revolution and radical changes in the global landscape will be a major part of our experience.  Neptune in Pisces can inspire us to either escape from the difficult intensity into new heights of avoidance, or to seek the higher path of elevated consciousness that can help us to create real change and transformation.  Neptune in Pisces offers opportunities for unparalleled creativity and imagination which can combine with the powerful Uranian influence for invention in ways that can create amazing things for the world of the future.  The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions.  Pisces is said to be the sign of the saint and the sinner, the priest and the addict. It is our choice, as it always is, whether we will take the easy road of sleep and unconsciousness,  or remain awake and utilize the powerful energy of change that is coming.

What does the symbolism suggest? “More Bliss Please” or “Dissolve the Illusions, Will You?” or “Widen the capacity for Compassion, a Must Have.” These are all nice statements of Neptune in Pisces transit.  With great changes taking place upon the Earth and within the lives of many individuals, we need more bliss or expansion of love. We need a Cosmic dose of inspiration and Grace. Well, in reality it’s there all the time though we may receive new infusions so to speak. Perhaps now, with this shift we can open to receive and soak in the deliciousness and bliss that is flowing in subtle waves helping to remind us who we are and shake off the illusion of us being separate and only human.

We may want to be sure we experience real genuine bliss and not the fake form from any type of substance or alcohol. Go for the real deal, feel it without any mind altering drugs or substances. When you experience real bliss, you not want to substitute. Bliss isn’t a state to be captured, attached to and or clung to. Allow yourself to feel bliss when it arises and then allow it move like a wave. Remember that Bliss is our true nature. It is already within us, we are now preparing to access and expand more of bliss and joy, as Soul.

Neptune feels at home in the water sign of Pisces. To merge with the non-physical, into no-thing-ness.” It may sound scarey to people who do not want to lose control or are afraid of being nobody or no-thing. Let’s go one step further, with Neptune in Pisces,  we are asked to dive into the spiritual waters of the unified Self, the Oneness that underlies all of life. It’s like a symbolic Cosmic Web, shimmering gold and full of life. One strand sends out a ripple, and one small ripple influences the whole. Care we must for All beings upon the planet. Neptune is at ease being in Pisces, so this symbolic partnership is valuable and can be easy to consciously flow with. Here we receive an opportunity to understand and remember what love without strings or conditions is all about. To listen to the ageless and timeless wisdom within the heart and use that wisdom in our daily life.  Yet, this is the very thing people tend to shun because it is irrational, risky and vulnerable all because one can’t control it. This renders the person feeling out of their comfort zone. Neptune in Pisces invites all of us to genuinely feel the love that we are, that is available to us from the Cosmos and Life itself. To then seek to express that love in all that we do. As with any outer planet transit, the effects and changes are long-term and world-wide.

Neptune in Pisces Potential:
What are things to focus upon while Neptune transits through Pisces? Spirituality, water or waterways, art, photography, writing (poems, channeling etc.), music, fashion, oil, drugs and alcohol, private behind the scenes things, institutions are in the spotlight during this phase.

Those individuals who have any planet situated near or early degrees 0-3 degrees Pisces, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius may acutely be noticing this this major shift of energy.  Yet, in one way or another we will all sense this somewhere. Neptune transits may not be the easiest to understand for sometimes the learning or process feel vague and confusing or it can be highly inspiring and expands the feeling of love and bliss. It will depend on what planet is being symbolically activated by Neptune in Pisces. (Check your Natal Chart for more details.) Dream a big dream rather than over-indulging in running away from and avoiding.

We are to take a good look at “materialism and “Spiritual materialism” and what it represents as well as how it impacts life. There may be surge of activity in people seeking out spiritual places (locations), classes, retreats and centers – looking to experience deep state of renewal. Or even seeking solace in a world of great transition and change so they can return to the peacefulness within. We also may want to realize the dangerous glamour of the astral/psychic realm and the hypnotic fascination around psychic abilities. We are naturally intuitive by nature. With expanding our psychic senses, comes great responsibilities and the care that must be taken to have ethics and guidelines.

We let go of the hard edge division of “I of egoic mind” and into the All is One, inter-connectedness feeling of unity. This deep realization occurs on a feeling level, the spiritual truth of our Essence as Soul experiencing a journey as a human upon the Earth. We are invited to expand our Consciousness and become aware of the other subtle dimensions. To learn to be ok within the realm of the Unknown or Mysterious.

For this is where the Universe works its magic of creation. To get to know ourselves beyond the physical body is to know our real identity as a vast Being, as Soul. The veil is pushed to the side so we can really experience, see, and express: compassion, love without conditions, joy and the bliss of our real nature. Our imaginations expands into new realms, intuition heightens and our ability to feel deeply increases.

We may want to explore:  What is compassion? And how is real compassion expressed? How do we honor the precious element of Water in our daily life? What small contribution can we do not to pollute or overuse but rather conserve it?

In Medical Astrology Pisces governs the feet; “The Walk in Life” we may feel the urge to walk upon the earth or stand in water. To walk around barefoot and without shoes is comforting to some. Neptune in Pisces we may see a trend being born to wear the sheerest, lightest and almost bare – upon our feet. An ethereal feeling as if our feet are floating upon shimmering clouds lifting us up to higher ground.

One key quality of Neptune’s symbolism is “dissolution” of boundaries, borders, divisions, illusions and definitions. You can’t fight it. The ego can’t and won’t really get it. The mind will be perplexed by it. We can’t even hold onto it with our hands. The dissolving happens subtly and dutifully until there is no-thing. Many things may dissolve in favor of Spiritual renewal, so let go and surrender into the Cosmic Waves. The heart will recognize it. Something new will arise from those sacred waters, refreshed and full of inspiration. When we let go of tightly held illusions, we may feel taken back by the truth of what is revealed. Just know will be better equipped with compassion and love to understand the bigger picture and move forward. Flow with the running water, over and around obstacles in life. Recognize the precious insights adversities bring and know it to be a part of evolving upon the path.

Off-Balance Key Themes with Neptune in Pisces:
Our illusions, delusions and escapist tendencies may become heightened. Instead of facing reality, we shun it in favor of a distorted fantasy and illusions. Over-sacrifice or the overuse of the martyr archetype may be noticeable. We may finally recognize the pollution happening within the Emotional level of the individual and collective as well as the Toxic waste polluting the Waterways upon the Earth (Oceans, rivers, seas, etc.) It is possible to see how people and children are “numb” from taking drugs and artificial substances for  a quick fix to health-life related problems. We may see some “not so not easily diagnosed” diseases or infections emerging.

The symbolic Spiritual Light Rays of Neptune in Pisces gives way for revelation and birthing of new types of technology (more intuitive based), subtle energy healing,  inspirational ideas and ways to permanently heal some diseases. We may even see how Meditation offers the way to “anti-aging” and reverse the aging effects as well as offer to help with longevity in life-span.

Children being born with Neptune in Pisces (Note: not all of them will make this a reality) will potentially be a generation of  of highly sensitive, refined, full of imagination or inspiration. They will be attuned to the subtle spiritual realms. We must take great care in guiding these children to find balance living upon the physical level of reality.

How will this affect you and your natal chart?  Look at what house Neptune is in your chart. 

Neptune Pisces transiting the First House: If you have Pisces in your first house, first impressions are going to have a deep and lasting effect on you when Neptune is transiting here. The karma is going to find its way back to you through your birth, your early childhood, your physical body and the psyche. This is a great time for these people to get in touch with the psychic part of them. They can serve emotionally by getting away from their own feelings, and tapping into their psychic ability to help others.

If we’re keeping in mind that Neptune is coming back as karma, and it’s in the first house, so there’s got to be a willingness to adapt to the idea of getting out of your own emotions and trying to be some kind of psychic vehicle for others as this particular time.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Second House: With Pisces in the second, I think you’re karma is going to find its way back to you through money, material possessions and all issues regarding self-worth. Keeping your financial affairs in order is going to be difficult for you right now because you’re being asked to address what is your value, what do you find worthwhile about yourself. Your self worth is going to be in some way, based on your faith and compassion, and your imagination and psychic ability are going to have to come in to this to give you a clear idea of what your self worth, and be able to address that.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Third House: If you have Pisces on the third, your karma is going to find its way back to you through your early life, your siblings, and your early education. You might start seeing classmates and neighborhood friends popping up. It’s going to bring back things that created your learning network, possibly from a last lifetime. And things that shaped your ideas and your thoughts, that made you feel like you were connected, made you feel like part of the community.

You might be prone to periods of mental confusion around this time, maybe even mental laziness, or you might feel like you need to secretly communicate when Neptune is in the third house. I believe you’re being asked to address language, how you communicate with people...how effective is that now. And if you were verbally abused or verbally denied or educationally deprived in your last lifetime, you’re going to have to deal with that now.

How smart are you? And don’t be comparing yourself to brothers and sisters when Neptune is in the third house. They will be issues at this particular time, but it’s not about that. It’s about your own immediate environment, what is your network, you’re being asked, I think, to define your network. What does your intellectual neighborhood really look like?

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Fourth House: With Neptune Pisces coming into your fourth, your home life may start to get a little more spiritual and there can be karmic issues, especially with Mom. There’s the possibility of feeling like you’re abandoned or orphaned and in a past life maybe you were, and these issues are coming back for you to address and deal with them. You also may experience the worry over or loss of a parent. Or worry about losing a parent. 

In any event, your relationship with a parent is going to change for the best or the worst. The karma with this parent is going to be brought forward, and you’re going to have to deal with it. And we all have issues with our moms and our dads -- that’s why we brought them into our life. But if you haven’t been addressing them up until now, you will be forced to AND your own role as a mother or a parent.

Neptune Pisces Transiting your Fifth House: If you have Pisces on the fifth, I think your karma is going to find its way back to you through your romances, and your creative self-expression. Your children and any time you try to create or be creative. And at this particular time, you have to be very careful not to be deceived or disillusioned in your romantic involvements or especially with any kind of risk taking.

You’re being asked at this part time to trust in your creative talents and not expect other people to take them to the end for you. I think you’re going to be forced to deal with your creative issues, whether they’re your own children or your own creative talents, not relying on anyone else to validate that in your life.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Sixth House: If it's coming through the sixth, I think it’s going to be all about health. And any of the routines or exercises that make up your daily life. The way you serve or others serve you on a daily basis. This is the perfect time, if your eyes are wide open, to find the perfect doctor for you. And if your eyes aren’t wide open, it’s the perfect time to find the doctor that is a fraud. Your eyes have got to be wide open and you’ve got to be cautious in this area of life.

If you’re being diagnosed for anything definitely get two opinions. Look at every single possible option. I think you’re being asked to deal with the fears you have about your health and about your physical competence in this lifetime. It’s always going to come back to that. Your work as it relates to your physical techniques, and your physical competence. What you’re physically capable of doing. But I believe with some good aspects to Neptune as its traveling, this is a good time to find the perfect solution to perhaps a mysterious ailment that has been affecting you.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Seventh House: If you have Pisces on the seventh, first of all, are your partners, clients and spouses in this lifetime, right from the beginning, because they’re either blessed or cursed. This is always where your karma is going to come through. Your one-on-one relationships.

When Neptune is traveling through in this life, even more so. In the past, you might’ve denied your partners flaws and shortcomings and now you’re going to have to deal with these partners that perhaps you’ve either enabled, or you have not seen for who they were. So if you have Pisces on the 7th, and you’re wondering, OK, why am I pulling all these people into my life, it’s because these are the people that you didn’t clearly address and acknowledge, either in your last life or earlier in this one. These are the people that you did look at with rose-colored glasses and now you’re being asked to look at them in a realistic way. And decide if you want them in your life.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Eighth House: Pisces on the eighth, your karma is going to find its way back through your collective worth, and it’s always about trust and sharing, and it’ll always seem fated. If you have Pisces here, you were both a skilled manipulator in the handling of life and death resources. And things that didn’t belong to you, which is why your own legacies and financial affairs can kind of be deceptive or creatively inspired and miraculous.

Your past is going to come back here, so depending on what you were in the past, is what going to come back in. Either miraculous windfalls or people are going to be trying to take money away from you. And any house Neptune is traveling through, just know you’re meeting your own karma and deal with it on that level of 'OK, I get the reality of it and I’m going to fix it.' The neat part about Neptune is we’re being asked to look at it realistically and fix it. And that’s when our miracles happen. When we do overcome that.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Ninth House: If you have Pisces on the ninth, your spiritual insights to begin with often provide miraculous solutions that feel like divine intervention most of the time. And that’s because your karma has a tendency to find its way back to you through your faith and your principles. That’s because in the past, you inspired others to move beyond their intellectual and spiritual boundaries. And that's why with Neptune coming through there now, you’ll experience either great disillusionment or great inspiration to travel to a foreign country, unfamiliar territory or to go meet new people or to start your own radio show.

When Neptune is traveling through here, you’re destined to take another look at what your boundaries are in this lifetime based on what you helped other people make their boundaries. Did you push the envelop for them or did you limit them? And this is the time for you to realistically ask what your boundaries are, and where you can push the outside of the envelope. And grow, because that’s what the 9th house is all about...it’s about growing.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Tenth House: If you have Pisces on the tenth, there’ll always be some kind of creative inspiration, or even secrecy, or behind the scenes kind of work connected to your profession, as your karma comes back to you in this life through your job, your reputation and your career. In your last lifetime, you were abandoned, orphaned or neglected by your father or authority figures and for that reason, you’re now prone to deep issues of parental loss and disappointment in this one. And it’s why you might be faced with these issues when Neptune is creeping through there.

It’s also why you might have great difficulty relating to authority figures and getting the proper recognition you deserve when Neptune is traveling through the tenth house. But again,the flipside of Neptune, is this is also a great time to get someone behind the scenes to pay attention to you that you haven’t noticed. So if you’re working your hardest your good fortune can really manifest when Neptune is going through this house, especially if you’re doing anything with underprivileged or the less fortunate in your work.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Eleventh House: Pisces on the eleventh, tells me your karma in this lifetime is destined to find its way back through your talented friends, your gifted associates and you really very visionary colleagues. And that’s why your companions in this life can feel like they’re very inspirational and even clairvoyant, or they can be deceptive and manipulative.

When nep is traveling through here, these people people are going to come to your attention. It’s also why you might find your way into spiritual clubs or secret meetings during Neptune's travel through the 11th. Neptune is trying to get you back in touch with those friends who were visionary. But again, because those are the visionary friends, you might be coming back to those that tried to deceive you or take your crystals and do something harmful with them.

So you’ve got to be very careful and the really neat thing about Neptune is that Neptune influence in that house is always going to feel very serendipitous. It’s always going to feel nostalgic when these people come back, and they’re always going to come back through these houses. And you're going to say, 'Oh my God, where have you been for 2,000 years?' That’s how your soul is going to feel. The problem is if you embrace them very quickly, you’re going to know why, where they’ve been and why you haven’t seen them for 2,000 years real quick. You just have to be very cautious about being happy that these people are coming back to you, because they’re going to be coming back to you for a reason, in every house. Because they were your karma. And right now, you can change that. If they’re positive and good karma is coming back, you can embrace it, and if it was negative, you can see them realistically for what it was and cut the ties.

Neptune Pisces Transiting the Twelfth: Pisces on the twelfth, my favorite house, your karma will find its way back to you through nothing else but emotional service to others….and helping the less fortunate which was a calling in a last lifetime. But some kind of painful loss led you to not be able to handle the harsh realities of life all that well and caused you to use either faith or your imagination, or any kind of other unconscious realm…as an escape. And you kind of isolated yourself.

You emotionally isolated yourself rather than getting out there and doing the work you were supposed to. Which is why you can now unconsciously avoid your mission to rescue others by becoming the victim or drop out yourself.

Now when Pisces is traveling through this house, you’re not going to be allowed to do that. You’re not going to be allowed to go to those secluded places near the water, unless it’s a psychological ward where people need your help. Because these people, these real victims of the world, you’re not a victim of the world ……and these victims of the world are looking for you and they’re going to find you now, so you can really step up to the plate, and choose how you want to serve them. Or you can end up being their doormat.

And that’s the beauty of pisces on the 12th because you have a higher calling in life. For the next 13 years, you’re going to feel like every single whacko and loser and emotionally deprived person is finding you. This is only because you’re not out there doing the job you’re supposed to be. And in some way, you’re supposed to be helping them, even if it’s just serving as a big bro or big sis or reading to the blind every Thursday night, in the library…you’re supposed to be out there, with the real victims of the world. Not the pseudo victims of the world. Then when you can’t find those, not playing that role yourself.
