transiting neptune square natal neptune

[mar]

hi everyone
I am experiencing a transit of neptune to my natal neptune and looking back on it - it started early last year I can see the disolving of images that I am having in relalation to my father as things have come to light about him I never knew when I was young. Although this has been painful in some respects I can see that it has also been very positive to get rid of false images and to reconfirm that the positive still stays even if what you feel to be negative is revealed too.

I wondered if anyone else had experienced anything similar?

I have seen Kim on another neptune thread that you posted infomation on neptune so I will look at that to get some better insight to how to use this experience positively too and relate to it on a deeper level.

This is an important transit that will have all gone through or will go through soon enough! I'll be back with some thoughts in a few days. Meanwhile, consider what Neptune NEEDS, WANTS and HAS to offer.

Then we can look at the intentions of the transit, the content and finally some likely events.

Thanks for replying I really love the way of looking at the planets this way to get a more general view of what is going on. Have thought a bit and I can see this:


Neptune needs: Neptune rules Pisces, the opposite of Virgo – emotional/spiritual ideal rather than material ideal. Neptune needs to be allowed to dream, to be allowed to see the poetic in our experiences. But I think that Neptune needs work hard to be able to recognize the non helpful illusions of the mind and emotions manifesting itself as the perfection.

Wants: Neptune wants to go beyond the boundaries to touch and realize the highest ideal and dream.

Has to offer: Neptune gives us our dreams and can show us the higher/most beautiful/spiritual side of things. Because Neptune doesn’t have limits in emotional terms it can offer hope, dreams, compassion and forgiveness to ourselves and others.

Has anyone else got any oother ideas or experiences?
regards

Mar, this is great. All good insights.

I would say as a baseline, Neptune is that part of us that needs to connect with the divine--the source. There is a longing in Neptune that is searching like a lost soul for the god that has abandoned us.

My god has forsaken me and disappeared,
My goddess has failed me and keeps at a distance.
The good angel who walked beside me has departed" 1

This is Neptune. This sense of disillusion and loss, this terrible separation from the divine. It is from this place of longing (I need to connect in this divine way) that spurs the soul to search.

Neptune offers a taste of divinity in creative expression, in love, in nature. It is the chance to participate, even for a moment, in the mystique of unity where we know there is no place where one thing ends and another begins.

Neptune rules the quantum world and most of us are still up here in the classical world of matter (Saturn). That’s okay, because a Neptune transit will come alone an show you a piece of a much bigger picture!

Neptune square Neptune is often a shattering of beliefs that seem now childish and fragile (how could that have held me?) Neptune brings enlightenment, though at the time it may feel like a drowning, a madness, a time where everything solid is slipping away, pooling into rivulets and washing out to see.

Neptune transits say, "follow the water and see where it leads...Madness? Divinity? Redemption? or maybe back to your Self!


Phew...I get carried away just thinking about it!
