Labor Day weekend, Neptune has been in Pisces since…, where is my ephemeris? Since April 2011. Neptune’s orbit takes 165 years. Where were we 165 years ago? 2021–165= that brings us to 1856.

A few facts:

Astrologically, Neptune rules Pisces, the god of the seas rules the sign of the fishes. Neptune is in his home, his domicile, feeling at ease, like he can kick off his shoes, (or maybe his flip flops, it is the ocean, right?) and chill. Except there is global warming and how is that affecting the ocean? It’s warming the sea. It’s affecting sea life and coral is dying.

Neptune rules infection. That’s easy to believe considering COVID 19 is beating up on humanity. Over the last 10 years we have become alert to viruses jumping species. I’m partial to the poetry in astrology. Pisces is a sign of mystical chaos. In its lower form it is about illusion and even psychopathic delusions.

Yet, I’m getting that literal translation in my life with Neptune in Pisces, which metaphorically is a shipwreck. Shipwrecks have that concerning feeling. Will some one know I’m here? Rescue? Or start some sort of civilization after the chaos? Still unknown because we have a few more years of Neptune in Pisces.

Literally, for me, it’s been about all this water pouring in. September 2021 is late Pisces…
