Neptune Retrograde 7 degrees Pisces Monday June 9 Chicago 2:51pm London 8:51pm Tuesday 10 Fiji, Wellington 7:50am Maldives 12:50am
Neptune Retrogradein the sign she rules will shift the emotional seas, bring fog, connection and transcendence via spiritual matters to fruition – especially for those with early planetary placements in Pisces/Gemini/Sagittarius/Virgo near 7 degrees +/- 5 via hard aspects & friction.
Early placements in Cancer & Scorpio feel a shift delivering more harmony, co-operation.
Neptune shifts energy in trine to Scorpio Moon, Cancer Mercury also in flux having moved Rx two days prior.Merc Rx here. Compassion with others, self is called for as well as a healthy dose of patience for all things mechanical, timely or methodical.
Go with the flow.
Venus at 13 degrees Taurus loosely opposes Moon, also Saturn Rx in Scorpio – emotional matters come to a head, turn on a dime, particularly with Jupiter exalted in family-driven Cancer.
Normally circumspect water signs are offset by an incoming Full Moon at 22 Sagittarius (June 12), so info will be forthcoming, count on it both to and from the house of centaur.
Sagittarians, how I love them ! – for they will say what everyone else is thinking but will not say. Forthright and honest to the point of being blunt, they explore everything and share their knowledge widely.
What will Neptunian energies turning inward deliver you the next few months…?
:::::::::: Read Sun sign + Rising :::::::::::
Aries – spiritual insights, re-boot of beliefs, inclusiveness
Taurus – hermit vision quests, knowing unique place in universe

Ps. Love how after I named this post, my computer hiccuped, blooped and everything shifted into ONELONGPARAGRAPH. I did not lose my writing, so YaY ! Happy Retrogrades all, back with more asap, very busy in my yard at the mo.
Quick draw to add definition to Mars as it slowly closes in on opposition to Uranus and square to Pluto. (Mars reaches 18 degrees early July)
FYI: Next hit of Uranus square Pluto is in mid-December.
Obviously work the energies, the growth available during squares to your advantage. Cancer Jupiter moves to square North Node of Destiny in Libra, reaching exact in the middle of June.
Gemini/Mercury rule hands – asMercury goes retro, first in Cancer, then into Gemini we have a chance to refurbish all things house Gemini. Mutable signs feel the squeeze, need to mentally hustle while air signs feel a bit of relief.
Through June, Mars tracks over 9-17 degrees Libra setting opposition aflame in house Aries again. Others deliver lessons to Mars while Pluto tears down old ways of dealing to restructure and rebuild NEW ways of dealing with Mars energies. Think balance, harmony rather than passive, aggressive – play fair.
Squares are meant to deal us intense personal growth – uncomfortable and difficult – but oh so WORTH IT. Mars in Cardinal and triggering Shaman square Wizard is an opportunity to use energy wisely to propel forward through the past. Use your head and your hands.
Tarot of the Origins
House of stone, shelter. Definition of Neptune Rx was the question here.
Nailing Neptune is difficult, but this one is easy.
You are your home, your heart and what and who you love. Also physical changes form with each incarnation, spirit remains.
My transits are bringing this lesson home in spades. Psychosomatic stuff, working through remnants of the past, slowly but surely.
Early mutables feel this one, water signs feel the flow.
Also: Saturn Rx (shelter, fort) and Pluto Rx are still in mutual reception. AKA working together to help us decide what is worth gleaning from the past as well what is worth letting go of. This is regeneration and refortification simultaneously in houses Scorpio and Capricorn.
Energy of one thing produces another completely new thing.
Our world will be totally changed, transformed.
There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea. Khalil Gibran
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief . . . and unspeakable love. Washington Irving
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This post is for those of us who have to drag ourselvesthrough the holidays.
In my world: first hurdle – selling, second hurdle – lush holiday, third hurdle – hormone fest, fourth hurdle – buying. My reward for crossing the not finished line is the month of love and old anniversary while I am single. Okay, yeah, whatever. yee HAW
I know many have it worse, I am fully aware of that. I am often my own worst problem and I am fully aware of that also. Saturn Rx ruler in Aries 3 equals roadblocks of the mind / actions. I KNOW it, I SEE it (Saturn trines Sag Mars in 11) happening . . .so I percolate and stew on the issue – until PoP ! Action comes in a rush ~>
Lately I have been struggling with the sauce again. I haven’t mentioned it because my mother reads this on occasion, who knows who else. Well, now she knows, you know. Everybody knows.
There is a reason I call myself Neptune girl – Neptooney is the source of major lessons in my natal – suffering and transcendence; sensitivity and deception. Artists deliver hard lessons over and over. Fame is nearly always a factor, as is music. The surprise gain and subsequent loss of love, fame and infamy, villans and heroes – are all laid upon my astrological banquet table.
I divinate in every way I know how because it is the only way I have found to survive the stress shocks. Forewarning is necessary so that I may fortify – force myself into lock and load deal with it mode.
Thus I have tuned Neptuner in some ways to my advantage– yet make no mistake – this slippery fish is ever changing and elusive. She is the siren and the shipwreck.
I have written about alcoholics and natal aspects here. I figured I might backslide, it’s common – go sober awhile – get cocky, I can handle it now.
Yeah, right. Neptune squaring Leo – self deception is the crowned King. Lovely.
…yet, I know things happen for a reason, and I have a few ideas…
The Neptune in Aquarius years were particularly horrific for me. My natal Neptuner squares Venus conjunct Jupiter in Leo 8th; Neptune transit Aquarius means it opposed Leo as well.
So when Neptune went retrograde, dipped into Aquarius one last time – of course the Aquarian re-appeared, threw me for yet another love loop – stole my heart (and that’s not all) then vanished. I regain a bit of equilibrium (Libra MC), am making progress here – cue new hero, new gains followed by new loss, shiny new suffering and new lock down status in order to deal and process. This loss I have taken hard. This one is exceptional, magnificent, the dovetailing, sublime.
I remember writing when Neptune was about to go retrograde back into Aquarius, that ‘we had forgot something and we had to go back and fetch it.’ It just flopped in the brain pan and I went with it. How true it turned out to be, that Claircognizance / Preception thing I get was spot on. This whole time I was taking clematisflower essence from flowers I gathered on the last Pisces Full Moon in Aquarius. Clematis promotes practicality and reality. Did it help ? Considering past Neptooney transits and love transitions, yes, it helped.
Good Goddess, the irony. That last total solar eclipsewas conjunct my natal Neptuner, so I figure North Node approach is right on time. Have I flushed all the Scorpionic Neptuner 8th house squares from my system. . .?
Unlikely, but I am getting there. Mercury sextiles Jupiter from Libra 9th at MC, so I write and Write and WRITE in order to GET RIGHT, ya dig ?
be careful out there
with all best wishes for
health, happiness, love and peace of mind . . . ! * happy 2013 * ! gneissmoonastrology.net
New name is a cosmic joke, really
Leo on the regenerative 8th house
makes me laugh, I’m keeping it.
O&O
Mercury into Sagittarius Monday October 29 1:18am CST, USA
Mercury into mutable Sagittarius fire, folks. Duality and change-ups naturally associated with Mercury will be kicked up a notch or two in a mutable sign. Mutable signs indicate changes, adaptability::: they are the go-betweens, the social set ::: passing the batonfrom the outgoing Cardinals to the stable Fixed signs.
This is worth noting as Mercury stations retrograde on Election Day in the US.
Mercury Stations Retrograde Tuesday November 6 5:04pm CST, USA
Purchases of large ticket items, signing contracts, making deals are all ill-advised during Mercury retrograde, andmost certainly on the days surrounding station when the energetic shift in trickster Mercurial energies is more strongly felt.
Mercury rules counting, calculations, perception and logic Neptune rules voting (secret ballots), fraud, deception and mysterious events.
The rockstar politico circus is coming to town – and the Trickster is Ringmaster.
Two communication signs, Gemini (Mercury rules) and Sagittarius are juggling compromise.
Virgo (Mercury rules) and Pisces are the lucky signs ripping up the Mercurial obstacle course, making hard decisions.
Virgos require abacus perfection. Pisces, well the slippery fishes are …ummm a bit nebulous on a good day.
This is going to be an interesting election – I’ll guarantee you that.
Is The Count still on the Sesame St. payroll – may wanna fetch ‘im.
We may need his fingers, toes and little number friends.
A silent prayer for our nation, if you please. Our election is not the only reason why, either…

Neptune Stations Direct 0 22′ Pisces November 11 1:52am CST, USA
Stations of slow moving outer planets arefelt for weeksin advance –particularly if that planet is prominent in your natal chart. In the US Sibley chart, 9th house Virgo Neptune is at 22 degrees (trine 2nd house Capricorn Pluto Rx) putting it in a sextile (opportunity) to the upcoming solar eclipse in Scorpio 21 56′.
Fixed houses are building. Long-term values and ideas meet the material (Toro), emotional (Scorpio) and intellectual (Aquarius) plane – fixed signs are brick-laying the road to create a new life (Leo is Sun – ruled = life).
Eclipse energiesdraw out and materializethe emotional onto the physical plane while intellectual Aquarius must do the hardest work –brainstorm creative solutionsin tandem with Leo, our NEW LIFE.
Toro / Scorpio ::: what’s mine and what’s ours ::: ::: what I want and what we desire ::: Venus (balanced) and Pluto (transformation)
Toro / Scorpio houses are succeedant ::: emotional ::: emotions are water
we have Neptune stationing direct in 15 days
Hurricane Sandy
Neptunian water is intuitive, psychic and it delves deep into memory.
The water signs signal ENDINGS: the womb and the tomb (Cancer), the sexual act, death, and the release of life as we know it (Scorpio), release and re-union with the cosmic universal energy (Pisces).
I do not mean this literally – instead I am speaking metaphorically. The Macro / Micro universe are having a soulful cry over what has been lost. This Pluto Uranus square is CHANGING EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. This hurricane is [on a macro level] clearing the energies of that portion of the US.
The US capitol is out there, among other things … just a thought. ::::::::::::::
About Neptune…
Strange thing is… months ago I was thinking and wondering what this reversal of Neptune towards Aquarius would bring for me. I heard a little voice say : you forgot something, you have to go back and get it. I wrote that phrase here at GMA in scopes or somewhere without really knowing what it meant or what it was or – anything.
Ahhh – you know, the joys of Neptunian faerie dustings… we’ve just learnedto go with it baby… it’ll all make sense someday….it felt right. Guess what.
I was right. I went back to get something I forgot…or rather, someONE. Didn’t see him comin’…nope, not even close. …hmmMmm…
SoOo then I am thinking I got the micro bit figured out – what did the Macro forget and go back for…?
New Beginnings : Zero : It is the void and nirvana :: the doorway, a portal. It is spirituality, divine intuition, faith in the unseen. It is unlimited possibilities and a fresh emotional start. Zero is Pluto ruled indicating REBIRTH.
Neptune Rx opposite Leo was a gestation of NEW LIFE to be born at direct station. Neptune Rx applying to Aquarius is KNOWING our personal / collective thoughts[Neptune square Gemini the lower mind and Sagittarius: the higher mind] WILL CREATE our physical world via the electrical grid we all share Micro / Macro. Spirit Card: 7:
Seven is ruled by Uranus: Seven indicates highly creative problem solving. Freedom, rebellion, polarites, intuition, invention, eccentrics and ELECTRICITY.
The crown chakra rules the central nervous system and cerebral cortex. The human heart is Electric, our hearts are collectively connected through the Earth’s Electrical Grid.
We are co-creators on the micro / macro scale with the energetic spirit of theALL ONE.The electrical currentof life is charging through us, our DNA, the earth, the sky, the universe,CONNECTING ALL OF US TO ONE ANOTHER. :::::::::::::::::: I know what I believe the macro went back for, and I am so happy we did.
namaste. Total Solar Eclipse November 13 21 56′ Scorpio see next post, thank you.
I thought I would explain my absence of late.
Neptuner stationing Rx activating my Mars has brought movie nights. I usually drop out and tune in when Moon enters Sag (sign on my 12th), but Neptune Rx has demanded action flicks. Loved John Carter, btw. plenty of sci-fi scruff and sword to keep me satisfied. Here’s the rest of the pressure cooker astro for me:Saturn on natal Mercury MC, Mars on natal Pluto Uranus Sun, Neptune Rx square natal Mars and opp Leo stuff, Uranus on Saturn Rx chart ruler with Pluto Rx in square moving to exact. Pluto Rx re-applying to ASC. The outers are kickin my ass this year !
Dwelling in the dark of late. My Jupiter Juice has run dry. Have been browsing the doom and gloom – with glee, I might add. There are some pretty cool cemeteries in London, I gather. Misery loves company type reading, plenty of Floyd – esp. Pompeii on the right in Neptunes if you want to wallow in the Saytrnpit. Feeling a bit buried with Jupiter at 29 Toro, feeling and thinking Cancer Mercury all over – the memories of men. (Jupiter trines Virgo 9 Sun, Saturn on Merc) I am plenty fed up with the ‘men are making me mental merry-go-round’, let me tell you – and Merc just only got here (to my Cancer 7th). Not a fan of touchy feely pass – agg Cancer Mercury at the mo. not at all. Here’s hoping Jupes into Gemini on Monday greases my brain gears for fun, cause I am way t.f. ovah all this earth. Way t.f ovah all this centaur concentration.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What’s up for you…?
Anyone with late degrees 20+ Libra are getting the Saturn Rx drill down. Late Capricorn and Cancer are working the square, Aries the opposition. Hang tough… Saturn stations direct June 25th at 22 degrees Libra, hallelujah !
Neptune going retro is dissolving everything in early Pisces and late Aquarius. Early Sagittarius and late Scorpio / early Gemini late Taurus is dissolving by square; early Virgo late Leo feel the opposition. Neptune stations direct November 11th at just over 0 degrees Pisces. I will be rejoicing this I am quite sure, Neptune Rx opposes the stuff Neptune squares in my natal.
May as well dig in for the Pluto Uranus square – it will be a long haul for a few years.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The daily buzz ~>
Moon leaves the square with Jupiter, enters Pisces at 2: 22pm CST, USA void for about an hour prior, conjunct Neptune Rx, then conjuncts Chiron all while in trine to Mercury. Call your Mother or a galpal – do mooney type stuff, are you earth Moon – do earth then, if you are air, do air moon. I am earth and will be mowing the grass, gardening, walking and talking to the earth, etc.. Gemini Sun and Venus Rx trine Saturn Rx in Libra. Thoughts dwell on positive solutions to fixing Venus matters. Sun quintiles Uranus. Our brains get some much needed positive genius- type radical infusions.
Gemini Venus, Pisces Neptune, Libra Saturn, Capricorn Pluto are all retrograde. All in renovation mode.
Re – working, re – thinking, re – envisioning, re – inventinglove, money, the way we think about what we value – how we process everything we think and how we ultimately build everything on the material earth plane is on the drafting table – soOo get your erasers out.
Thoughts become deeds. How aware of this I am, being Saturnian Rx in Aries 3rd already then having Saturn Rx up my Merc MC craw. Mars in persnickity guilt-ridden Virgo for like, evah, apparently.
Staying positive has taken a ton of effort, and obviously I am not quite there yet, lol.
Fair to say I am working on it – but let’s face it, life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows for all of us. My next post will be positively weird and awesomely groovy, promise !
Uranus, the higher octave of Mercury knows what to do, it is supercharged with Mars at the mo. Hot to trot and burn some fuel. What house is Aries plowing through in your natal now ? Mercury in Cancer feels .sheesh. feels AND thinks the tension and someone / thing is up your nostril from Capricorn house, forcing a compromise. Your solution…?… Pluto Rx is trine Mars in Virgo, so re-assess, re-evaluate. Then re-apply force where needed.
Feel free to vent your crap transits here. Fair game.
*grin* xo

Sir Ian Murray McKellen, CH, CBE * is an English actor. He has won multiple Laurence Olivier Awards, a Tony Award, two Academy Award nominations, and five Emmy Award nominations. His work has spanned genres from Shakespearean and modern theatre to popular fantasy and science fiction. He is known for film roles such as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, Magneto in the X-Men films, and as Sir Leigh Teabing in The Da Vinci Code.
McKellen was made a * Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1979, was knighted in 1991 for services to the performing arts,and was made a * Companion of Honour for services to drama and to equality, in the 2008 New Year Honours.(wiki) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I will start by saying Sir Ian is so sweet and kind, with a Gemini twinkle in his eye, quite a lovely flirt, really. He’s fabulous — so fabulous I named my singing toad after him. Yes, I knighted my toad ! Sir Toadie was recorded in one of the most acoustically perfect halls in the country. true story. I knew when eclipse toad showed up good things were coming … Sir Ian is a May 25th Gemini, so I am writing & posting tonight – he is in the future in New Zealand and I want this up for his solar return YaY !
Gandalf and Magneto and a Knight Seriously ! How cool is That ?!
* Happy Birthday Sir Ian ! *
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Look how cool ! A moth showed up, right on time. Precisely when he meant to..!
When times grew desperate, Gandalf contacted Gwaihir, Lord of the Eagles, by means of a small moth. It was Radagast the Brown who told the eagles that Gandalf had visited with Saruman in the books; in the movie, Gandalf is seen speaking with the moth. (LotR wiki) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Moth totem: sensitivity to vibrations, awareness, transition and metamorphosis. Lunar light and instinctual adjusting of the course, allure in love, camouflage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ian is a Gemini Sun, Virgo Moon, Sagittarius rising, making Jupiter his chart ruler. Aries Jupiter (is Mars powered) is in the 3rd (communication) house trine 29 degree (culmination degree) Pluto in Cancer, 8th house. Pluto (inner energy, transformative experiences) rules the 8th, is strong, yet fluctuating (Moon ruled house, opposite Mars).
Gemini Sun trines Mars in Aquarius, making Ian a revolutionary (Aquarius) communicator through art and film (Mars trine Neptune at mid-heaven).
Pluto and Mars (Mars is most highly aspected, strong) both square Venus in Taurus, and are opposite each other, which forms a T-Square with Venus as the focal planet. Venus, the planet of art, love and money is strong in Taurus, the sign it rules. Venus as focal planet, means it will be forced to metamorph the very powerful energies of Mars and Pluto into artwork, beauty and works of love.
Pluto points to a strong desire nature with opposition to Mars (outward bound energies) in Aquarius, as well as the square (inner tension) to Venus in possessive Taurus. Pluto in the last degree of Moon-ruled Cancer is a nod to the metamorphic effect Ian has on the public (Moon rules public), through his natural ability to teach and lead by example (Virgo 9th house) through the arts (Neptune [rules film, inspired art] at mid-heaven) and film.
I find it interesting that outward bound Mars is in a sign of polarities (Aquarius), Plutonian inner power is fluctuating in Cancer, and Ian has Mercury (dual perceptions) conjunct Uranus (polarities, magnetics) in artistic Taurus. Ian is very adept at seeing both sides of any given situation. He uses this instinctual observation, this intuitive sense (Taurus rules the senses) of dualities to in turn enrich his portrayal of character.
He feels and senses the depth and rich undertones (Pluto Cancer 8 / Venus, Uranus, Mercury in creative 5th house) in humanity and conveys them through artistic means. (Stellium in creative 5th house/ Mercury conj Uranus trine Neptune at mid-heaven.)
Moon is conjunct Part of Fortune in duty bound Virgo; both trine Saturn in Aries and Venus in Taurus. Long term (Saturn rules time and work) artistic career (Venus) in the public eye (Moon).
Ian has Mercury quintile (special talents) Pluto, making him a powerfully magnetic ( ! ) communicator, capable of captivating the public (Pluto in moon-ruled Cancer).
He also has Saturn and Neptune quintile Chiron, meaning his work is a powerful healing force to help others.
Ian has one planet retrograde, Neptune – which indicates his work and career in the arts will continue to flourish as he ages. Retrogrades signify planetary energies that are expressed inwardly while young, until an outside event forces them to be expressed outwardly when older. At which time, the energy is focused, channeled, and better directed in life.
