Neptune in Pisces and Other Energy Trends

The planet goes direct on April 23, which is not quick enough for some.

The effects of this have been particularly strong. The planet goes direct on April 23 which is not quick enough for some. Along with the stagnating influences that Mercury Retrograde can have on communications and transactions there are other energetic patterns that are influenced by the spring season.  

The Female/Male Roles

In nature, spring is when most of the males in the animal kingdom begin their courtship rituals. Their masculine energy goes on full display in order to challenge other males and claim the females for the right to mate. On the human side, spring does produce some romantic flurries. However, the archetypical male energy pattern will be primarily displayed in power plays that show up everywhere from the workplace, family home, to Capitol Hill and battlefields.

We are seeing challenges in many places from the budget showdown to the Libyan crisis. In our personal lives these influences are displayed by both sexes and are about a show of force for supremacy. Right now, the archetypical feminine vibration is more low-key and veiled. Feminine energy reflects intuition or inner knowing which is scattered now because of the chaotic effects of Mercury. So our more calming influences are delayed and we are seeing quick actions and reactions that should be second guessed.  

Fighting Fear

Fear is another intense emotion that is accelerated at the moment. It is not necessarily a component of Spring; though the intense emotional responses of the season can cause some general discomfort. The fear that is rampant right now is the consequence of the social economic shifts we are undergoing along with the unease from the continuing disaster in Japan and Middle East wars. The combination creates a general flux and agitation that is escalated.  

We do however have good news: on April 4, Neptune entered Pisces. This actually can be seen as a great harbinger of positive change if people take notice. Neptune speaks to us of our inner nature and Pisces reflects a more intuitive, creative, healing vibration. Neptune will stay in Pisces until January 2026. Perhaps this heralds a shift in humanity’s perspective to a more integrated connection with our inner resources. If we utilize this pattern we can begin to dig into our current situations and find more balanced ways to solve our issues and heal our perceived differences.  

Finding Balance

One of the key terms now is surrender. A dictionary definition of surrender is to yield. It means to step back into the currents of nature. If you do not have to fight, then don’t.

If you are able, relax and utilize this time to do something that brings you peace.   Spring has always been at period to sort and clean up. It is about removing clutter and releasing the old to make room for the new. This not only includes your cupboards and closets but your relationships. If you have a connection that is causing you pain; re-evaluate it and see first if healing is possible then decide how the relationship may be shifted to a more positive connection.

Realize that you do not have to be a part of the fear perspective. Look within and discover what particular button is being pushed into a panic response. Get counseling, coaching or healing if needed to process the information. Then utilize that data in a way that gives you joy and not fear.
