When I was looking at the ephemeris to check the date Venus went direct (April 17), I also noted Neptune would be moving past an exact square to my Ascendant at roughly the same time. Believe me, I’m hoping this means life will start moving more smoothly, my energy levels will begin to return and people will start feeling like spending money again!Neptune transits to the Ascendant and first house planets as well as to Mars can result in periods of low energy and feeling lethargic. That’s been the case for me in addition to Neptune’s habit of creating the feeling of constantly living in a fog bank. However, I did catch a glimpse of the difference between having a natal Neptune aspect and the same one by transit. For instance, with Mercury conjunct my Ascendant natally, I have a very clear idea about how I present myself and in turn, how others see me. When transiting Neptune conjoined my Ascendant, all that went sideways and dropped into the fog until the transit had passed.
Neptune on the Ascendant can act like a mirror that reflects on both sides. In other words, what others see is their projections in the mirror, and what you see from the inside is your projections! Because I had a base line of accurate information to compare my experiences during the Neptune transit to, I was able to sort out fact from fiction over time. For those with Neptune aspects natally, finding an honest, caring, well-grounded in reality person can be extremely helpful in sorting out what’s real and what’s not.
Venus Rx seems to get more irritating rather than less around here. Well, maybe some of that is due to waxing Mars-Saturn opposition with Mars in my fourth and Saturn still cruising my tenth house. For the most part these transits are being expressed through my Aries spouse working around home because his jobs have been few and small, interrupting my work flow. :::mumble, mumble:::
Mars and Venus are currently moving towards each other but will not actually conjunct until June 21 in Taurus. Still they will be within kissing distance for quite awhile this year . . . good thing! There is a little more sexual tension simmering in the background while these two are dancing in tandem.
**While I have noted in past posts Pluto conjoined all my personal planets and Ascendant by transit, it just penetrated my foggy brain Uranus and Neptune did too! Saturn is now on his third trip around my chart . . . yeah, older than dirt. Hey, I’m still passing for a sane person too!

Oh dear. Neptune is headed into a long square to my Mars (27.0 Taurus) in the 10th. Because, you know, Saturn transiting my Sun has been so energizing - not! (sigh). And *that* was preceded by Saturn transiting through my 1st house. (The ankle weights come off when??) Anyway, for several weeks Neptune will also be joined by Jupiter and Chiron, all stationing square my Mars - along with Uranus stationing sextile my Mars! I don't even know where to begin to prepare for that. With the square, it's conflict from my 7th house (relationships) to my 10th (career)?
Venus Rx hasn't affected me much, I don't think, given everything else. It will station on my Eros at 0.40 Aries, if that means anything!
Neith, Saturn is squaring your pMercury, I think, which should help with focusing, no? You also have pVenus conjunct your natal Mercury, which must be nice. :-) Both Venus and Saturn going direct will be a good thing.
crocuses! i love them, intensely. a gal in my poetry class likened them to martyrs, which made my day.
i'm finding this venus rx. is getting more infuriating. so over it, already!
Well, look what the Venus Rx dragged in... I was wondering if the guy I was dating before Christmas (before an ex-girlfriend showed up) would return, and he just contacted me. Just like clockwork. Gotta love astrology!
Hey leslee!
You sure are having to work around low energy too. I was reading up on Neptune transits and the gist was the need to consider re-prioritizing one's life. Made sense. I have too many different things going on and am feeling not well organized!

You're right! I tend to forget about my progressed chart but right now my pSun is conjunct pMars in Capricorn and Pluto has been & will be conjuncting my pSun for awhile. No wonder I'm feeling irritable these days.
Nice thing is pJupiter and pVenus in my progressed 10th house. :-) pJupiter will finally conjunct my pMidheaven in 2012. :-)

ROFL!!! Are you going to give him an opportunity to make nice?!
Hey Christy!!

Love the idea of crocuses being martyrs!
We are finally getting a nice day, sun feels warm and the dang wind is calm.

Second that notion! heh, just wait until Mars hits Aries . . . watch out, World! Here comes Chrispito!!

Oh, that's very nice. Just noticed that my pVenus will conjunct my natal IC in November. Can't be a bad thing!
Yeah, oy with the Venus rx already. I bumped into 2 unwanted ghosts from my past this weekend. Very unwelcome reminders of bad old times.

I keep thinking this Venus Rx won't be so bad . . . WRONG! Hey, maybe it will help when Venus moves back into Pisces on Saturday. One can hope anyways.
I am also hopeful Mercury's move into Taurus on the Full Moon, trine Pluto, will slow the pace some. :-)
hello, dear neith -- the yarn arrived today. thank you SOOOO much...I've been carrying around your soap for a week -- it's all ready for the mailing except I haven't gotten to the post office. sigh.
I included one of the oatmeal soaps and there's the new grapefruit soap. It doesn't really smell strongly, EVEN THOUGH I USED A WHOLE LITTLE BOTTLE OF GRAPEFRUIT SCENT...but it won't stain your washcloths like the blue did either. It's got grapefruit zest in it and it's a nice blend of olive oil and other good emollient oils, so should be good for the skin.
The oatmeal soap has been used a bunch (by ME!) this month what with the poison ivy and all...finally over that, thank heaven.
work has been busy, busy, busy and I'm being pushed into learning tons of more advanced processing. I've been such a happy little slug, picking refraction statics and velocities and doing geometries. so whatever is going on astrologically is forcing me to learn tons of new stuff. my boss is appalled by my utter ignorance and my complete dinginess when it comes to figuring stuff out. I'm...how shall we say it...very scattered mentally. But we've all been saying for YEARS that I need to do more. So I am. And on very hard data. guess I can't hurt it. hee.
No new grandbaby yet, so we missed that Leo moon (whew! an Aries with a Leo moon!) so maybe we'll get lucky and get a Libra moon. Please -- no Scorpio moons. An Aries with a Scorpio moon -- yikes!So waiting by the phone for the big news...
thank you again and I SWEAR I'll get the soap in the mail soon. The yarn is a lovely color -- cloudy, foggy blue. One of my favorite colors! My bedroom was painted Morning Fog for years...now it's painted Silver Lining. a lighter shade of silvery blue with a hint of green. Like the yarn. I am very color consistent.
I have come to really enjoy your posts Ms Sign ofvmy opposition <3 Talk of Neptune makes me wonder and a bit fearful if when Neptune turns Pisces over my 7th! I know it will further my knowledge of Astrologers & further my growth as a 'healer' but it might bring some people who want me to 'escape' with them or maybe somehow delude me! I do hope at least Pisces Jupiter when it hits will bring me luck over my 7th ;p

How awful! It's been years since i had a run in with that nasty stuff but I remember vividly how horrible it was. :-(

LOL!! Betcha it as to do with Jupiter transiting your 10th and Uranus creeping up on your Sun. Hey, I bet you are very, very good at thinking sideways. :-D

Aries with Libra Moon would be good. Where are his parents Sun & Moon? It's uncanny how babies come into the world with those signs featured.

The minute I saw those colors, I laughed because they are so completely Venus in Pisces colors.
Funny thing I've noticed about the colors I choose to wear is a corolation between progressed Sun, Moon and ASC. Ever since my Moon progressed into Capricorn, I've been wearing browns. When it was in Sagittarius, a lot more rusty reds & even some oranges creep into my wardrobe. Still go for blues and greens though.
Hi Glowstick!!

Do you have lots of natal aspects to your Sun, Moon & rising from Neptune? Sometimes that helps "inoculate" us. Neptune transiting the seventh . . . be careful about "rescue" missions and resign yourself to finding out someone is not who you thought they were on a regular basis.
Generally speaking, Jupiter transits in the 7th are great for not settling for second best in a partner. Surprisingly enough (or not), lots of people break up or get divorced during a Jupiter transit. While Saturn transits thru the seventh are good for getting legally hitched. Go figure . . .
Eric is a Libra with Sagitarrius rising and Aquarius moon. 'Liyah is a Virgo, forgot her rising & moon. Pookie (oldest) is a Taurus with Scorpio rising & Aries moon. And Jase is that double Virgo with Sagitarrius rising. hmmm...if her birthday is when I think it is, she's got either an Aquarian or Capricorn moon. don't know the birthtime.

OK, this little guy is definitely going have Aries Sun - matching his brother's Aries Moon. And he's going to have Saturn in Virgo - Virgo mom & brother. If he shows up before 2AM PDT, he'll have a Libra Moon to go with his dad's Libra Sun.
Anyway - healthy baby is always the most important! Keep us posted, Casey!! :-D
With Neptune now closely squaring my Mars, I am appreciating that it can take the edge off. With lots of Virgo, and Virgo Sun square Saturn natally getting hammered by both transiting Saturn and Uranus recently, I must say that having Neptune take the edge off is quite a nice thing! (Probaby doesn't hurt that Jupiter is joining in with Neptune, not to mention t-Uranus sextile.) I notice flowing with things more than usual.

Hey, enjoy the "time out"!!
I've been gritching about Neptune more because it's transiting my 3rd house, reducing mental clarity and that's bugs the heck out of me. :-)
Oh, for the love of god... turns out this guy (the re-date) lied about his age (is actually 12.5 years older than me, not 8.5). I suppose one should expect this with Neptune transiting my 7th (and I suppose with Internet dating, 'nuff said). Sigh. I thought the synastry aspects weren't feeling like they looked. I politely let it go while out to dinner for his bday tonight, but it does rather irk me, even though this is apparently common practice. Gr.
