Wow. There's a lot of Neptune to deal
with today. It looks potentially sleepy, foggy, confused, deluded,
medicated, drunk, imaginative, forgetful, intuitive, emotive and day
dreamy. Focus? What focus? Ambition? Where?
This morning we wake up to the Moon
newly in Scorpio. Her first aspect is a trine to Neptune at 9:31 AM.
Then, at 9:56 AM, Venus also meets Neptune through square. It's a
little swampy out there.
This day is best begun after a good
solid night's sleep. Neptune aspects are not really energetic. In my
opinion, a Neptuney day like this begun under a lack of sleep? Well.
You might as well pack it in my friend; because, if not, you are
going to be dozing off in your office chair.
Lots of people will be reluctantly
dragging themselves out of bed this morning. Others will sleep in
(perhaps accidentally). Many will be easily distracted and some will
feel foggy and forgetful most of the day. Hey! Welcome to my watery
world!
Thankfully, as I've been swimming in
Neptune's waters for most of my life, I have discovered a few
effective coping techniques. First, lean heavily on your routines.
Write down important things that you need to remember. Even typing
that makes me laugh. I write myself notes all the time but I also
have a tendency to lose those notes. A check out dude at the grocery
store once told me that his mother did the same thing. Then, she
started taking pictures of her notes (and store lists) on her phone.
It's a truly smart idea...but, then you have to remember to keep up
with your phone which really distracts from keeping up with your
wallet and keys. Routines compensate for this. If you put your keys,
wallet, phone and other little carry abouts deliberately in the same
place everyday, then, when you have an influx of Neptune, sometimes
they magically appear where they are supposed to be even when you
don't remember putting them there.
Pump up your boundaries. Drink lots and
lots of water. Leave time in your day for quiet and rest, adding in
mediation if it is not normally in your routine. Have some music
playing in the background whose tempo matches the pace you would like
to keep. Pay very careful attention while driving because others
won't be. And, be patient with yourself and others. Take your time
and try not to put yourself in a position where you have to rush.
Wash your hands frequently and carry
some hand sanitizer. Watery can also equate to germy.
If you can, lay out what you need for
Thursday the night (Wednesday) before in a very obvious place. This
is an excellent compensatory measure for a Neptune morning like this
one. Make sure to set your alarm clock if you have to get up early.
Ugh. If there is anything THIS Neptune/Moon person hates it is those
annoying freaking buzzer alarm clocks. I actually get up without an
alarm everyday at about 4 AM. Sounds weird, I know. But, once I
started working heavily with the Moon, my body clicked over into it's
own natural rhythm. And, apparently my natural rhythm is to get up
before the chickens. Overall, it makes sense, though, as I was born
at around 4 AM. So, I go with it and, surprisingly, it works out
nicely. I like it. That being said, pay heed to your own natural
rhythms and rely on them heavily...we are aiming for flow here. We
aren't trying to fight the current.
Oh...but back to that freaking buzzer
alarm. If you can set your alarm to wake you up to some kind of
soothing music or if you have one of those cool Zen alarm clocks
(definitely on my Christmas list), even better! The gentler you wake
up, the more flowing your day will be. Wake up to a harsh and
disturbing BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEEP! And you are more likely to
be unsettled most of the morning. Grrr...it agitates me just to think
about it. Wake up too late and have to rush and that is also going to
cause disturbed personal waters. Wake up early and gently giving
yourself plenty of time to figure out where and who you are before
you start this day.
The more able you are to tap into
“flow” the better you will be able to navigate this day. It's
kind of hard to tap into “flow” when you oversleep and are
playing catch up all day or don't get any sleep at all. Go to bed
early Wednesday night.
Don't be hard on yourself, either.
Foster an ability to laugh things off and resist trying to take
things too seriously. A gentle sense of humor goes a long way. Be
flexible and relaxed. That way, you can float instead of sink.
Now, if you start the day out on the
right foot, you may be able to flow right through. I mean, it's not
horrible or doomed...it's just watery. Pay heed to your emotional and
intuitive body all while keeping “go with the flow” in mind. It's
certainly a good day for grounding stones like hematite, obsidian,
tourmaline and even a piece of tiger's eye for grounding with a shot
of energy. Eat earthy foods steering clear of sugary stuff. And,
though the temptation will be to reach for an extra cup of coffee or
two, you are better off reaching for water instead.
For those with heavy Pisces, Cancer and
Scorpio...welcome home! This is your day to shine! For early
mutables, this is the day we put what you've learned about Neptune by
transit to good use. Same goes for early Capricorn and Taurus. Things
get fairly interesting for Libra and Leo, though. Ya'll aren't likely
to see the waves coming. While Aquarians are likely to be looking
around thinking, “What the crap is wrong with everybody today?”
LOL, I see this as free entertainment because I'm used to the waters.
But, others will call this day out as a wash or be frustrated by the
lack of rigid form. The best advice I can give you is to just go with
it. Whatever you feel, follow it slowly drifting downstream or
upstream wherever the current wants to take you without trying to
fight against it. Man, you cannot fist fight Neptune! You can try.
But, he will continually pummel you until your body is so exhausted
that you cannot fight anymore. So, save your energy and surrender to
the flow.
By 10:33 PM tonight, the Moon plunges
even more deeply into the ethereal waters with a sextile to Pluto in
Capricorn. Of course, energy coming from Capricorn can certainly
provide a bit of grounding, too. At midnight, the Moon meets jolting
Uranus by inconjunct and Chiron in Pisces by trine. Neither of these
aspects are particularly heavy and I'm betting we can sleep right
through them if we need/want to.
