Hi! I have neptune and pallas at 17'sag and vesta at 18'
natal, in the 11th house. i'm not very familiar w/ astroids
so any info would be great. this is also the opposite degree of venus's transit of the sun, june 8 at 17' gemin
also i have natal venus at 25' gemini - the point of venus' retro on my birthday may 17, along w neptune turning retro that same day! happy birthday to me!
transiting neptune in my natal 1st house is exactly opposite my natal mars at 15' leo in my 7th about to go retro in 2 days. trans. nept. in my 1st opp. mars definitely has me feeling frazzled, flakey - my astrological brain has been short curcuiting !! so any comments would be nice. thanx

Hello Tara,

Thank you for your posts. I don’t have too much time right now to answer all your questions in any detail, though I will come back to this later in the week if possible. If anyone else has some insights to offer, especially on the nature of transiting Neptune to personal planets and points, please jump in.

As you may have noticed on the “Events” forum, I am interested in how the occultation of Venus over the Sun will effect those with 16-20 degrees or so of the mutable signs. Your impute, as time goes on, is most welcome.

Where Neptune is in the natal chart symbolizes were we long for the divine. This is our point of rapture, where we seek purification, redemption and expiation. It is creative and magic and dangerous and ineffable, all at one. When you put it in the 11th house, you start to live this mysterious longing out through groups, collective goals, and your relationships of one-to-many. It is also where you may want, sometimes, to hide.

When you link Vesta and Pallas Athene with Neptune, you add some very distinct qualities. Pallas is a strategist, interested in battle and mental articulations more than love. You may find you “fight” for humanitarian goals or welfare.

Vesta is about the flame of inner sanctuary. She is the ritual and devotion to what gives us strength and meaning in life. With Neptune in the 11th, there is a feeling of day to day dedication to goals and wishes, for yourself and others.

Does this make sense?

Warmly,
Kim
