Neptune in Pisces: The Age of Emotion |

Neptune has been transiting Pisces since March 2012, and just that month something was already in the air, although we didn’t realize it. At the time, the British newspaper “The Telegraph” published an article with the title “London 2012 Olympics: The Crying Games”, which we could freely translate as “London 2012, the Crying Olympics”. The text, authored by Michael Leapman, commented on the wave of crying and emotion in the last Olympics, and had the (appropriate) boldness to warn: “we are in an era of a new type of emotionalism, in which not only is it acceptable, but also desirable, to let it all out, giving free rein to our most intimate feelings”.

When reading this chronicle, I remember being shocked, thinking about these people who often have the incredible ability to perceive and capture collective trends shortly before or at the moment they begin to happen.

The emotional Olympics in London was the first to take place with Neptune already in the sign of Pisces. The journalist was probably unaware of what astrologers already knew: that Neptune, the planet of emotion, sensitivity and poetry, entered its own sign, which only happens once every two hundred years. This is an important event from an astrological point of view, because when a planet enters the sign it governs, it is like a king living in his own kingdom, sitting on his throne and being able to manifest himself exactly as he wishes. And in the case of “King Neptune”, being able to give free vent to emotion, creativity, intuition and sensitivity, characteristics of both this planet and this sign.

The British newspaper story went on to describe that both men and women succumbed to the generalized emotional wave at that Olympics, which spread equally among commentators. Contaminating and spreading are typical actions of the blue giant, which also rules viruses, bacteria and the entire invisible world.

The commentator added: “for me, this all had a liberating effect, because after a lifetime of trying to contain my hopelessly sentimental inclinations, I feel that I can finally come out of the closet and confess that I am an inveterate crybaby”. Exciting.

Astrology has been conceived as something linked only to the individual scope, often restricted to the sign itself. However, it is much broader, even serving to understand civilizations, culture and history. It is the three planets furthest from the Sun, and which take the longest to change signs, which reveal the hidden motivations of each time: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Of the three, Neptune is associated with music and has a fairly long stay per sign: 14 years. For two seven years, it’s as if we listened to lyrics and music in the style of that sign. And of course this affects us over time. Try being oblivious to a song that is playing, it’s practically impossible. At some point it will mess with your state of mind and with your subconscious.

From 1998 to 2012, when he transited through Aquarius, Neptune consecrated electronic music, DJs, the diversity of genres and singers with a more questioning profile. Aquarius also rules appliances. And Neptune, which dissolves barriers, represented music (Neptune) invading all electronic means (Aquarius), ceasing to be restricted to vinyl records, CDs and DVDs. Now it’s everywhere, accessible to everyone.

The new shade of Neptune in Pisces

Since entering Pisces, Neptune has begun to play a new style of music, using this word as a metaphor for the collective emotional climate. As this planet works subtly and surreptitiously, you are hearing something new, but you haven’t fully realized what it is yet.

The following descriptions will concern possible behaviors of those who are already fully immersed in the new wave. Some people will not react exactly as described, but you may recognize yourself in much of what will be said.

Skin-deep emotions

The “emotional tone” has been more subtle and delicate since 2012. Your heart is more sensitive, delicate and you get emotional more easily. You want a little more poetry, beauty and transcendence. You want to believe that something special exists, and you get sad when you don’t see it happen. He often asks “if” and “when” his dreams (something connected with Pisces) will come true.

You are more vulnerable to emotional currents, which have become faster and more volatile. Sometimes, you “cool down” with them, getting sad, upset or depressed more easily. But your heart is also more like a child and with little encouragement it smiles and rejoices again.

If while Neptune was in Aquarius (also triggering the opposite sign, Leo) you were very concerned about your image, from 2012 onwards, just like the British journalist, you started to not care so much about it anymore. This is because this is not the focus of the Pisces sign, which is more concerned with its own emotions and heart. However, sometimes you are afraid of falling apart if you let emotions completely take over you.

If you’ve fallen in love at any point since 2012, you’ve been surprised by how irrationally you reacted. You may have felt strong and profound emotions invade the beach of your reason in a very short time. You asked yourself if you were under the effect of some madness, one of the themes related to Pisces, which, as its name implies, lives in rivers and seas, in another reality than the one we humans inhabit.

Collective is keyword

You no longer want to live alone: ​​you need people more. And this is strange, because during the period in which Neptune transited in Aquarius, all of his ideals were focused on being independent and free. That model doesn’t seem to satisfy you anymore, but you’re still afraid to dive into the strange (and more turbulent) waters of emotion, where your carefully constructed defenses no longer keep you so safe. There are moments when you feel like a pilgrim between two very different eras, making a strange and silent transition.

Changes have been happening since 2012 and connecting with people (Pisces) already seems more attractive than keeping your distance from them (Aquarius). However, as it is still a new energy, from time to time you may feel the need to isolate yourself and understand what is happening, in addition to organizing your head, which, despite continuing to function very well, seems to have become more chaotic and less linear. Emotions come more quickly to the mind, and you have a greater need for music and beauty in your life as a whole. Somehow, after so many years of Neptune in Aquarius, you’ve adapted to the values ​​of this placement. That is, not demanding, maintaining independence, distance, controlling emotions, demanding little from others and not allowing yourself to be demanded. These values ​​have seemed right to you for a long time, yet in the last couple of years, possibly a part of you, even if you were used to them, has also been exhausted by so much effort in keeping separate, separate, rational and individual. You got tired of, most of the time, not having someone to lean on and today you yearn more and more to share your life with other people – and that in the real world, not just on computers or cell phones.

Epoch suggests speed in emotional processes

As the entry of a planet into a sign is not something stagnant, it is as if the two frequencies – Aquarius and Pisces – were present, and some are still very adjusted to the old energy, while others are already dancing to a new unknown rhythm, whose rules are unknown.

In this new wave, sometimes your own reactions frighten you, as your self-control is greatly reduced. You are more like old people and children, as your ego is more malleable and less resistant. In fact, you can be any age and you are no longer ashamed of it. You can be 60 years old and feel like your heart is 20. And you want to be in a world that believes in this truth, but you don’t care anymore if this doesn’t happen, except in the case of the people you care about.

Now the part of you that is afraid and vulnerable is more exposed, and you still don’t quite know what to do with it. It’s as if the barriers in your heart have been removed, but you feel awkward without them, like a child who has had the training wheels taken off his bicycle.

Today it is more difficult for you to contain your love and affection, and you find yourself saying “I love you” to someone you may not have known for a long time, but with whom you once felt a strong affinity. Although you are baffled by the recent speed with which the feelings are happening and settling in your heart, you recognize that you are not being superficial, as you realize that the energy in the center of your chest is indeed real.

declare your love

You are less verbal. In the past, I used to have lunch agitated, maybe talking to someone, using my cell phone or with my head racing for now. Today, sometimes you just want to take advantage of that moment of refuge to really eat and think a little. Feels like you need a little calm, even though you still have a crazy life.

In the rush of life, you’ve sometimes wondered if your ability to appreciate beauty has gone astray, either with distractions or with rationalizations, and today a full moon in the sky and a handful of stars is capable of altering something inside you. , triggering an emotion you thought you would never feel again. In fact, old buried emotions are now emerging with full force, whether it be longing, love or something else.

You sometimes feel more helpless, wondering what you’re going to do with the silliest heart you’ve ever been given. Rest assured, you will soon get used to this new frequency. Surrender to life, which may get scarier but will be more vibrant and beautiful too, with less protective mindsets and more feeling and intuition. You are not living in a time with Neptune transiting Pisces by chance: King Neptune on his throne will try to teach you to live more in accordance with your interior and your feelings. And this won’t always be easy, as the old rules won’t work as well as they once did. On the contrary, the more you cling to them, trying to be completely cold, controlled, self-sufficient and independent, the more you will have the feeling that important things escape you, especially the love of those who matter most to you.

Now there’s a question: have you said “I love you” today? How long are you going to wait to say this? Ever wondered what life is for? Has anyone ever told you “I love you today”? If so, lucky you. And even better if you also learn to speak. You have 14 years for this, but the sooner the better.
