I had an epiphany the other day about Nep in ♈ that was sparked from reading Axekey Neyooxetusei 's post titled "Neptune in Aries".It is often said that the initial ingress of a planet in a sign, gives clues as to what one will experience throughout the transit of when that planet stations on that sign (after a retrograde motion) more permanently.
I was baffled by the silent ingress of Neptune in ♈. Surely this was supposed to come with some dramatic entry because even Saturn in ♓ transit came with a little something something?
Well, it did coincide with our current power outtage days after its ingress. So maybe there's the drama?
But more than that, I think its quiet nature of ingression was a clear reflection on how this energy will function....silently. It was all on purpose.
So as i pieced together some key words used by @Axekey Neyooxetusei in the above mentioned thread, and I came up with some ideas as to how this transit will navigate itself in my first 🏡.
Its intensity likely increasing as it reaches my Asc degree. But the key words are a mix of ♈ and Nep energy on the body and manifestation.
My interaction with Neptune energy isn't over. This is just a new book with a new cover. But with some themes reminiscent of my past time with Neptune.
Neptune in house 1
*Dissociation(Neo) with self(1st)
*Confusion(Neptune) over identity(1st)
*Sensitivity(Neptune) of the body(1st)
*Feeling foreign things(Neo) and taking them as your own(1st).
*Mood swings(Neptune) affecting outlook (1st)
* Metaphorically and perhaps even physically blurred(Nep) vision(1st).
* Seeing things(Nep) that are not there or manifested(1st).
* Body(1st) retains fluids(Nep)
*Body(1st) is not aligned to external clock (Neptune) manifesting insomnia and related sleep issues.
*Feelings of being alien(Nep) from your body(1st).
* Astral travelling (Nep) through leaving your body(1st).
* Foreign(Neptune) body related experiences(1st).
* The body(1st) being sensitive to noise, smells and energy(Neptune).
* Body(1st) can be prone to Neptune related illnesses i.e. illnesses associated with body fluids and related things.
*Body (1st) wants moisture or needs more moisture or lubrication(Neptune).
*The diet to feed the body(1st) takes more of a water based content. I think of a Chinese based diet of watery noodles and related foods that are soaked in fluids. Perhaps more sea-food in one's diet?
* Swimming(Nep) could have recuperative benefits for the body(1st).
* Increased awareness(1st) of the subtleties around one's environment(Nep)
* Hiding (Nep) ones identity (1st)or consciously doing things to obscure it i.e. resist taking pictures , wear a mask, take on an alias on your profiles, hide pictures with your face etc.
* Sometimes this hiding(Nep) or obscuring of the identity(1st) would be growing a beard to conceal the face, wearing shades to conceal the eyes or even opting to wear hoodies more frequently?
* Another outcome would be to wear clothes (1st) that have ocean colours or allow one to fade into the background easily(Nep). Something that will support ease of movement but will not draw attention to the self?
* Because of the hazy(Nep) identity(1st), people projecting things on to you may be common.
*Mistaken (Nep) identity(1st) may be a thing. People think you are someone that you are not- with mixed results.
* Adopting the persona(1st) of someone "spiritual", "weird" or "different".
The thing that somewhat concerns me is that Sun-Neptune are tightly conjunct in my natal already. So I am already a mystery to people. Will this make this worse? YES.
The other outcome of Neptune transit house 1 , is the tendency for people to disappear or vanish without a trace.
So abductions/kidnappings are seen as more Plu. But Plu(Hades) was the abductor and not the abducted when he pulled Persphone into the underworld.
So to me, Neptune is kidnappings as it aligns more with Persephone(victim). She was the one whose world was greatly changed.
The literal manifestation could be abduction or kidnapping. Maybe(as said) even vanishing without any trail?
The metaphorical meaning is "Innocence corrupted" in that Persephone was this girl who was innocent(blind) to the nature of the world(let alone its underbelly) and was constantly with her mother (sheltered, protected and insulated from all of that).
Then Hades came along to take her down to the underworld where she was kept and became his Queen- coming up now and again to reunite with Mom(Demeter/Ceres) in the time of Spring before disappearing again in Autumn/Winter.
Metaphorically this means that one is somehow pulled into the dark underbelly of life. And through this being pulled down, they now resurface with a new level of experience and challenge of reconciling the extremes of both world.
On one hand , there is innocence and the order of the known world i.e. the known self.
But then on other hand, there is also the underbelly with all its seedy connotations i.e. the shadow self with all its intense emotions and feelings for which one has to conquer and rule over(Queen of the underworld).
The two have to find a common ground in the manifested personality. One has to reconcile the seen and the hidden into one thing in order to really "see".
How do you see Neptune playing out in your chart(as per house)?
