This is another of the major transitions this year that I mentioned in the overview for 2011. Here is what I wrote then:
Neptune Enters Pisces (Apr.4, Aug. 4, Feb. 3)
Just as with Jupiter and Uranus last year, Neptune dances back and forth between one sign and the next this year. It has been in Aquarius since 1998 and it will stay in Pisces starting next February 2012 until March 2025. This is a coming home event, since Neptune is said to rule Pisces.
The last time Neptune was here was 1848 to 1862 and the pursuit of dreams (and fantasies) grew apace. In the US, the westward expansion was accelerated as the vision of gold sparkled in the eyes of “forty-niners”. In the spiritual world, on the heels of the “Second Great Awakening”, a growing religious fervor spurred the calls for justice as abolitionists struggled to make our country confront the great evil and shame of slavery.
For the next 13 years, a pathway has been offered for a renewal of understanding, compassion and sacrifice. We are moving into a period of spiritual revival and growth. Dreams, romance and the imagination will take flight.
Be prepared to wonder…be ready to embrace… and be able to surrender, so that the gifts of Spirit may enter our hearts and so remind us that we are one. “E Pluribus Unum”
