Neptune- Cloud/cross/fish/anchor/fox
Neptune/Poseidon , rules Pisces
-God of water and the sea (this includes anything in it, or what rides on it)
-Brother of Jupiter and Pluto, Neptune became god of the seas when he helped his brothers depose Saturn
-He was constantly trying to grab land for himself
-When angered, he caused earthquakes and storms at sea
-He put his throne at the bottom of the sea
-When Cires hid from her suitors by changing herself into a horse, he changed himself into a horse and mated with her
-He owned a herd of white horses, he introduced horse racing
-He fell in love with Medusa and seduced her in Minerva’s temple, Minerva’s was angered by this and turned Medusa into a monster
You can also see that Neptune wasn’t content with what he was given, and he tried to take what wasn’t his, which was land. So he wanted the sea and also the land , a little bit greedy! Also he changed into a horse to get what he wanted (Cires), he also liked to be hidden, he put his throne where noone else could see or get him.
It can transcend and escape boundaries, its aim is to merge,to dissolve, to be at one very much as the sea is all one. The sea ebbs and flows outside of its control, as the tides are controlled by the moon.
Keywords: Loss, confusion, the world dissolving, boundaries disappearing. Lost at sea, ethereal, blissful, dreamy, confused\unclear, romantic, self deceptive, subtle, rhythm, , a repository, escapism, empathy, illusion, deception, magic, the collective unconscious, transformation
Person it can represent: Grandmother, the wise old women, the victim or the martyr. Visionary or spiritual.
Moves 1 to 2 degrees each year, takes 165 years to travel through chart . It’s the 8th and furthest from the sun. its an outer planet, so its generational.
So now we can see, unlike mercury this planet is a slow moving one, it doesn’t travel far through your chart in your lifetime, its more of a generational planet that sets the tone for a period of time, people born in the next 14 years will have Neptune in its home sign of Pisces. So already you can see it can be very influential but on a subtle, even unconscious level. The affects are not immediately seen, you might not see the affects of this Pisces transit until the people born in the next 14 years become able to vote etc, so until they come of age.
So its slow in some ways as it travels slowly, but its very changeable, in the same way the sea can change in a blink of an eye. Its also not completely in control by itself, some I can see it being linked to ‘unforseen circumstances’. Also the sea is the only element that can change into three different versions of itself (ice, steam, liquid)
So current candidates are:
Clouds
Cross
Fish
Anchor
Fox
