Neptune has been in Aquarius since 1997. Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac and influences 11th house-type things--groups, friends and acquaintances etc. It is the house of humanitarian type interactions. Tonight I was wondering if Neptune transiting this house for as long as it has, has had something to do with a shift in the way we relate to each other on an everyday casual basis and I guess if you follow astrology this is what it should be doing. Have you noticed as have I, that the days of people 'dropping-in' unexpectedly or unannounced seem to be well and truly over? Neptune confuses but it can also give subtle intuitive insights.
Perhaps socially we've become a lot less confident in our relationships and are more circumspect about where we stand in relation to groups we think we would like to be associated with. Either because we now see them for what they are, even if we've not been able to articulate it. Or we have simply become disillusioned and confused about where and who 'our people' actually are? Or a bit of both? We know now to ring on our handy mobile phones, before we turn up on people's doorstep--a given these days where once it was not so important.
I think we will all be hugely relieved to see Neptune exit Aquarius in February 2012, it's enough alright already, it's been a trip, especially for the Aquarians. I don't imagine we'll all start madly popping-in on each other again, but maybe Neptune moving into Pisces, the sign it rules, will be a boon for the planet in other ways? The first time in 168 years that Neptune has been 'home'.
I think Neptune energy in Pisces will flow beautifully and help counter the harsher aspects of the outer plodders who have come to cross purposes of late, i.e, Uranus in Aries, squaring Pluto in Cap. It's my hope that Neptune in Pisces for the next fourteen or so years will train our attention on to the smaller, furrier and more innocent things in life and we might be a little more concerned about how they are faring the disaster that is mankind. (Souls included in the 'more innocent' category.)
Something to look forward to.
