Hello Dear Ones,
I haven’t written in a while. The lawn, the large garden and the chickens are taking some of my free time, which is great! I love eating locally grown, high levels of Qi (energy), completely organic veggies!
I have also been dealing with some personal Neptune transits and arising escapist / avoidance behaviors and adaptive defenses showing up. Hence, I am writing about Neptune now.
Neptune times are nebulous, fantastical, creative and spiritual at their best. However, they can also be confusing, fuzzy, foggy, delusional and deceptive at their worst, even going into addictive behaviors and patterns (escaping through substances or behaviors).
Looking at various Neptune archetypes: the Fog, the Tides, Mirroring, Spiritual Insight, Energetic Detractors, How to Stay Grounded and what Gifts are available, we will unpack each one a bit.
Here are some questions that are worth asking at this time (Neptune Rx will be felt for at least the next week, if not for 10 – 12 days here): the Fog – What illusions / fantasies am I currently under? Be honest, take your time, no shame, no blame, try not to judge yourself. We all have something. Especially those Pisces, 12th house, Neptune hard aspect people out there! (that includes me btw)
The Tides – What emotional or energetic pattern is coming up now? Do you have time to contemplate, to meditate, time for slowing and introspection? It takes time to start to see my patterns and adaptive defenses arising again and again. Now is the chance to notice. Then, bringing this stuff to consciousness, it can start to change.
The Mirror – What is happening around me? What is being reflected back to me from others or my environment? We can look at projections, mirroring, transference during this time. What am I attracting and why? Can I own my stuff during this time? Or am I involved in a good dose of self-deception at the moment? Check in.
Spiritual Insight – What guidance is available from my Higher Self or wisdom beings at this time? What brings me joy? What helps me to feel more open, more spacious, more grounded, more in my body? Can I find a healthy balance right now? Can I take the time to listen to deeper whispers from my intuition?
I use the term Energetic Detractors, but you can also think of this like an Energetic Undertow – what is pulling me away from being true to my self? what is distracting me? Am I escaping from what I really need to work on right now? Can I own my stuff? Can I sit with my stuff? Can I feel my emotions and hang out with some uncomfortable shadowy material? As always – if you need support, please reach out and ask for help!
Grounding – What is anchoring me in my body, in my life, in my health? This is a very dream-like time. What helps me to ground during this wispy, magical, nebulous time? Get out in nature, be creative, start an art project, meditate, do some yoga, dance, go swimming. Can I use Neptune effectively and efficiently to move forward in life?
Gifts – What soul lesson or healing is emerging from this Neptunian time? Is there a deeper purpose or deeper meaning behind these fantasies? Can I pierce through the fog and see the spiritual meaning, the psychological insight or awareness during this time? Be gentle, go slow, be kind. Be both relaxed and firm. Diligent and spacious.
Other questions that might be beneficial during this Neptune shift:
Where am I longing to escape? What would it take to face that part of my reality with compassion instead?
What is the difference between intuition and fantasy in my current situation? How can I better discern the two?
Am I confusing unconditional love with self-sacrifice and martyrdom? Who is clear headed and discerning that I can talk to and check in about this?
What dream, artistic vision, or spiritual truth is calling for my attention?
When was the last time I felt truly connected to something greater than myself, and what helped me feel that way?
Where do I feel foggy, overwhelmed or unclear? What happens if I rest a little, try to relax the clinging / grasping at figuring it out? What if I surrender a tiny bit more? Can I simply feel it?
If I could ask my High Self one question right now, what would it be? And if I can get quiet for 5 – 10 minutes, what answer arises?
I hope you find this helpful! I sure have! Hopefully you have a few minutes to sit with these prompts.
I wish you well in your exploration of these Neptunian themes!
