INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN

"Like a dream you try to remember

But it's gone

Then you try to scream 

But it only comes out as a yawn

When you try to see the world beyond your front door"

_"Pinch Me" Barenaked Ladies

There are some of you that might be enjoying these days of change and ease. Some of you may have eyes like refugees, still shuddering from devastating change. The glimmer of PTSD may hover over you and yours…

No matter where you are, you know that things have changed. Some people love this period of things being wide open and anything is possible energy. Then some just desperately want something, anything to anchor themselves to.  Then there are those of you who may have begun a great big change and are now stilted and immobile after that first wondrous rush of energy.

No, you aren’t going crazy. (Well, some of you may be a bit out there, but never fear)

Things are more quiet now... the onslaught of daily upsets is suspiciously absent. This alone can make us feel out of sorts. Never the less, most of us still have our guards up.

Blame it on Neptune. Blame it on the ongoing, endless Cardinal Squares. Yup, it's all their fault we may feel this level of inertia and confusion.

I wouldn’t worry about any of this too much.  The universe is stubborn, and isn’t done with us yet. 

Neptune is the Planet of the subconscious, all things spiritual, intuition, inspiration and dreams. Neptune in Pisces acts like an invisible cord of primordial spirituality that connects us, no matter your background or beliefs. Neptune can also reveal that pesky monster in the closet, and can show that he’s as scared of you as you are of him. Well, Neptune is going retrograde and will be moving away from the earth, then moving back towards us in a astrological dance from now until November. What this means is that whatever lessons that fall under Neptune’s domain that you have had to deal with over the past 6-7 months will be shoved right back at you. Nope, whatever you haven’t dealt with in this time frame needs to be cleaned up. Chances are it has to do with matters of connecting to others and your spiritual life. However, Neptune also really enjoys showing you where you are full of crap and have been delusional.

Since we have a soft Grand Water Trine between Venus/Mercury, Neptune and Saturn happening on June 7^th (combined with an approving nod from the usually spooky Pluto) we will have the space to handle this gap that we are in. Maybe we will get insights. Maybe we will solve that years long feud with an old friend. Maybe we will, for a moment, experience true peace.  The world will continue to change and shift, in ways good and bad. However, this transit combined with the Neptune Retrograde may provide for you the very thing you need the most; faith in yourself.
