Moon in Aries

Neptune Direct

There are certain words and phrases that us astrologers are contracted to use a certain number of times a week.

Words like:

Journey

Closure

Dream

Vision

Path

Transformation

Growth

Let go

It’s a little like Service Level Agreement (SLA), or Key Performance Indicator (KPI), or our version of the metaphors (often mixed) that are used in the workplace that I like to call wank bingo. Today I’m going for my weeks quota worth with dream.

You see Neptune has just turned direct. Around thirty six minutes before I started to write this- to be precise-ish. Not that you would have noticed it- Neptune’s effect is subtle, barely there- on the surface, anyway. Anyone who has been or is going through a Neptune transit knows that the impact can be huge. A little like how that cupcake looks like it could only have a teeny amount of calories in it- something that beautiful couldn’t possibly cause that much of a movement on the scales, could it?

Most of us have a dream, a vision of the future, an idea of how things could be. The very nature of that dream is often idealistic, and couched in terms of if only. That’s ok- that’s what dreams are made of…

In fact, a recipe for a decent dream might look something like:

Take a pinch of illusion, a touch of delusion, a smidgeon of glamor, a dollop of idealism and mix it together with a good whack of fairy dust. Spoon into a cupcake tins and bake for as long as it takes.

Sometime we take our dreams out and turn them into goals.

Sometimes we forget to turn the oven on.

Often we just continue to, well, dream.

Over the last five months, Neptune has been retrograde- our dreams have been directed inwards, happily baking away.

But now the buzzer is going.

Will you be opening the oven door, and bringing your dreams out? Icing them, decorating them and consuming them? Or will you be leaving them to bake a little longer…
