Neptune Entering Pisces - Changing Mythologies and World Stories

by Robert Wilkinson

Neptune begins its 15 year transit of Pisces on February 3, 11:03 am PST, 7:03 pm Greenwich. We now enter a long wave "sea change" that will shift collective consciousness away from the materialism of Neptune in Capricorn (1984-1998) and the electronic village of Neptune in Aquarius (1998-2012) into a strange dreamscape where we will confront our collective ghosts, fears, karmas, hopes, and need to live compassionately.

Among other things, Neptune in Pisces will offer us all a constant ability to feel our common humanity, and choose the way of compassion or the way of isolation, the way of interrelatedness or the way of drifting into the unknown. This will open all of us to a greater feeling experience, even if there are few if any words to describe it with any precision. We will certainly begin to feel our non-separateness.

The problem with this is that some will go into a waking dream state filled with fear, delusion, lack of clarity, or magical thinking based in non-realities or wishful thinking, while others will learn to swim in an oceanic feeling where all that needs to be known can and will be known. I would think that Neptune in Pisces would be a time when forgiveness and compassion will be seen as the tools to access a greater Divine Reality and make it real.

Just be alert to vague assertions, unclear thinking or motives, or those who want you to believe what they believe without it being grounded or even true. There’s already a lot of rumor and speculation in the collective consciousness that is without substance, “sound and fury signifying nothing.” If Neptune rules dreams and fogs, get your “glamor dispelling mechanism” in shape, along with your ability to do three (or preferably four) point "Mental lighting," since that is the only way to dispel shadows, you know!

Neptune changing signs certainly signifies an important shift in the collective consciousness! Many things that have been fashionable will no longer be so, and new fashions, new mythologies, new collective beliefs and stories will come forth over the next 15 years.

Since that’s the case, here's an interesting article about Neptune over at Dharmaruci's astrotabletalk site. It’s a great essay connecting Neptune's discovery chart back at the Autumnal Equinox 1846, developments since then, the Neptune discovery return chart, and how it all relates to mythology and the collective "stories" humanity believes in.

So if you’re inclined, please take a new look at this very good read which I wholeheartedly recommend. For your renewed consideration, Neptune and Collective Mythologies by Aquarian Dharmaruci.

Hi all - Sorry for the busted link, but Word encodes hidden format stuff that creates link problems. It's now fixed.

Hi Isabel - I went to the spam file and it's not there. Don't know why some comments don't get published....

Thanks, Robert. Never mind!

Great article, Robert and thanks for the link. That was well worth reading!
I'll share how this Neptunian influenced thinking is showing up for me. Yesterday, I read a blog that used the phrase "Freudian slips". Instantly, I got a vivid image of Freud holding a cigar dressed in a lacey nylon half-slip over his regular clothes. With a N Mercury trine N Saturn - my imagination is normally much more practical. I'm not given to vivid visuals of the absurd. Of course, TR Uranus is conjuncting my N Mercury and TR Neptune is within orb, but still out-of-sign, to a square to N Saturn. This could be a lot of fun!

Is it any coincidence that computing is now moving full steam ahead into "the cloud".
