Neptune in Pisces: The Split Between Heaven and Earth

Neptune in Pisces: The Split Between Heaven and EarthNeptune will re-enter Pisces in 2012 and we will see this gorgeous oceanic planet affect mundane events, as well as via fashion, cinema and music. During its transit of its own sign of the fishes, we are interested in the world that was before birth and the one we shall see after death. We desire to understand the big picture, but there is an insurmountable chasm between our physical and spiritual selves. The astrological fishes stand for this dichotomy, representing both the yearning for spirit and the ravenous appetite of the physical body. Pisces is a dual sign, like the heavens and the earth, and like Pisces, we want to learn more about the universe beyond our own. Some Pisceans walk an uncomfortable line between two universes; perhaps one day we will see those two pathways converge.

Neptune is related with psychic, supernatural and spiritual experiences and when we are born we have a complete loss of any memories of a life before this one. Many Neptune people often sense there is more than one reality; it has always been vividly felt and analogous to a perfume that’s lost some of its aroma, but we can still barely perceive its trace. Pisces signifies the end of the entire cycle of life, and many astrologers are still at sea to understand Neptune. Both Neptune and the ocean are deep and complicated, and subtle places  – seldom explored and little understood but alas there’s an urge to dive right into all of their wonderful mysteries in order to restore the soul and feed the hungry fishes.

About the time that Neptune was discovered, people started holding séances and trying to enter trances in an effort to make contact with the afterlife. People are especially susceptible to paranormal and supernatural experiences when Neptune is in transit. With Neptune’s help, we may tap into the latent potential of the unconscious, which has the power to enchant us and bring us into the realm of the Feminine Mystique. Wherever Neptune is positioned by sign, a generation strives to find its own own version of paradise. Neptune is the planet that can help us see where we are blindly suffering. When Neptune is in Pisces, it’s a good time for creative types like writers, poets, healers, and musicians to put their talents to use. Each of these types can draw from the universe’s boundless supply of beauty and make the world a better place. Neptune encourages all forms of artistic expression and heightens our receptivity to the subconscious to a remarkable degree.

Finding time and space for poetry, song, and the imagination can help us deal with Neptune. Sun square Neptune is exemplified by Jung, who devoted his life to the study of psychology, symbols, and dreams, and which occurs while Neptune is in Pisces. Pisces symbolises the freedom to think creatively and experience profound shifts in perspective, both of which are reflected in our fantasies and provide us with valuable insight into who we are as individuals. Pisces is a dual sign, representing the ultimate feminine symbol, and it is a negative, mutable, night force sign.

Neptune, the ruler of Pisces, is associated positively with mysticism and self-sacrifice. The negative aspect of Pisces is associated with lack of boundaries, illusions, addictions and delusions…Psychologically speaking Pisces is also associated with the unconscious, as is its natural Twelfth House. Pisces is water in its oceanic dimension, and you cannot see the bottom of it. People born under the sign are quite comfortable floating in a boundless way. They are not threatened by chaos.
