Neptune represents the Divine Power of eternal and infinite connectedness, and rules the waves of life and the feelings we all learn to navigate through the fogs and uncertainties of life. It went stationary direct November 22. What does this hold for us?
Neptune’s exact direct station occurred at 6:21 am PDT, 2:21 pm GMT, on November 22. As is the case with all the outer planets when they turn stationary direct or retrograde, it marks a major “sea change” in those invisible Spiritual transpersonal energies. We are all about to have a different but familiar Neptunian experience where we are shown anew the span Neptune has traversed since April 2016, and have completed the “initiatory testing” of our role in the larger spiritual community.
The first part of the 2017, it moved from 10 Pisces to 15 Pisces, going stationary RX in June. It then retrograded back to 12 Pisces, where it just went stationary direct. It will remain in its “shadow zone” through early April 2017, and then enter unknown zones that humanity has not experienced since the Spring of 1854. It would seem that we are about to enter a very strange collective field!
This span from 10-15 Pisces is where our sense of connectedness in Pisces is merged on an individual, intellectual, and spiritual level. Neptune is fulfilling its transit of the first half of Pisces in 2017, preparing to enter the second half of Pisces in April 2018, shifting one keyword from “Federation” to “Perpetuation.” In the Cancer decan of that sign, it gives a sense of personal connection and caring to the Neptune in Pisces expression.
It is now stationary direct on a degree of symbolizing the tests that confront all who would seek entrance to “the Lodge of Initiates,” where we have reaffirmed our purpose and had a “God revelation” in some form. For some, coming months will bring reminders of the perfection of the practice not yet accomplished. For others, it finishes the period of proving our spiritual “goal-fitness,” having left behind habits that are no longer ours.
Last year’s direct station was the last, closest point where the Grand Irrationality worked as an integrated pulse. It separated last Spring, and now it’s not nearly as powerful as it’s been since 1992. So say goodbye to the Grand Irrationality as an integrated pulse since the Neptune-Pluto gap is now 53+ degrees and growing wider.
However, while the Grand Irrationality begins to wane in power, we have a new long wave configuration being anchored at the current time and for a long time to come, this time by Uranus and Neptune! Uranus is in semi-square to Neptune, setting up a long wave spiritual frictional dynamic I have termed a “Resonant Rhombus Diamond.”
This configuration is very frictional, and at this time is triggered any time a planet moves through the middle degrees of Pisces, Gemini, Virgo, and Sagittarius, as well as the last 5 degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. If you want to know more about how the configuration works, please consult the related articles from September.
Besides the powerful semi-square which will be triggered frequently in future months, we have a very favorable Saturn quintile Neptune lasting through the end of 2017, to be followed by a wide mundane sextile, with the quintile coming back between June and October 2018, a very auspicious thing for all of us, especially those with planets or points around 14-18 Pisces, 26-30 Taurus, 8-12 Leo, 20-24 Libra, and 2-6 Capricorn.
Of course the big news at present is Jupiter trine Neptune, which should made many thing very clear! Keep searching for the Mystery, the “God revelation,” and one will come! The trine will come back strong between May and September, so consider the next few weeks to be the dress rehearsal.
Summing Up
The coming Neptune direct period will bring forth a clear sense of purpose, with many going much deeper into their spiritual life than ever before. Just remember that each has their own way to walk, and each has their own revelation to find. We’re now moving forward into the spiritual world that has opened these past several years, and we’re now done with our testing and proving period. Now we get to move forward anew, focusing our will power to bring forth manifestations of Spirit, however we have trained to do that. By February you may need a form of “camouflage,” and get ready for an intensification of energies. By June we will all experience a form of social-spiritual renewal and rebirth!

I looked up the events of 1854, wondering if I could find there any hints of what might lie ahead next April, as Neptune moves into celestial territory he hasn't visited since then. Among the political and martial events listed on the wiki page a few items stood out.
Henry David Thoreau published Walden. Gasoline and kerosene were distilled for the first time from petroleum. And Abraham Lincoln gave his Peoria Speech.
Although the time frame he noted has lengthened, we, as humans on this lovely and fragile planet, have not yet resolved Lincoln's central issue:
"Little by little, but steadily as man's march to the grave, we have been giving up the old for the new faith. Nearly eighty years ago we began by declaring that all men are created equal; but now from that beginning we have run down to the other declaration, that for some men to enslave others is a 'sacred right of self-government.' These principles cannot stand together. They are as opposite as God and Mammon; and whoever holds to the one must despise the other." — Abraham Lincoln
Perhaps 2018 will mark the moment when humans affirm, celebrate and protect the principles of freedom and equality for all.
We once built castles in the air, and have been much delayed in laying solid and firm the foundations beneath them. We each of us have our part to play.
