Your thinking process becomes less linear and more intuitive. This is a double-edged sword: it can lead to brilliant, creative insights or to confusion and deception. The key is to ground your imagination in reality.
Explore the Two Sides of this Conjunction
The Inspired Mind (Positive Potentials)
This is a highly creative and imaginative influence. Your mind is open to inspiration from the spiritual or unconscious realms, making it an excellent year for artistic and intuitive pursuits.
Heightened Creativity: Your imagination is exceptionally fertile. This is a wonderful time for writing poetry, music, fiction, or engaging in any form of art.
Enhanced Intuition: Your intuition is strong and can provide valuable insights. You may find yourself "just knowing" things without a logical explanation.
Spiritual Communication: You may be drawn to spiritual topics, meditation, or dream analysis. Your ability to understand symbolic language is enhanced.
Your sensitivity to subtle emotional connections among all people can increase your concern for certain individuals in particular, and/or humanity as a whole. You are probably able to acquire information through intuitive insights unless you feel overwhelmed and consciously seek to block awareness.
Dealing with subtle themes and in-sights can lead to uncertainty and confusion in the thinking process, especially when intuitive and psychic awareness precede the ability to weigh this information for its accuracy or relevance.
It is sometimes difficult to discriminate between what is really intuitive and what is more closely aldn to worry, fear, or false hope. It is also difficult to find practical applications for idealistic concepts and inspirations which are represented by this combination. It might seem easier just to ignore subtle information though this will not necessarily clear the brain fog and may lead to even greater confusion.
Important factual information you receive during the Solar Returnyear may be partial, inaccurate, or vague.
Sometimes secrecy and deception play a role. Your normal points of reference for evaluating information may be changing or missing. Without adequate facts and certainty, you may be left hanging for most of the year, malting it impossible for you to make a major decision or to evaluate your circumstances. You may be easily confused or misled, especially if the information you receive is incomplete or directly contradicted by what you are sensing.
Neptune's most negative interpretation in Solar Return is a loss of mental capabilities through alcohol and drug use or abuse, even prescription medications during the year.
There can be a strong desire to escape mundane issues, tasks, or circumstances that lead one to drown thoughts or dull awareness. This tendency is most closely associated with the conjunction, but still usually only seen when there is an individual pattern of consistent avoidance behavior. Most people will not fall into this trap, but those who are already addicted or prone to addiction, might choose this path and be worse off this year. In older individuals, confusion may actually be senility or dementia. If the mental decline occurs rapidly, medications may be to blame, and you should investigate the side effects of any new prescriptions.
Those on a spiritual path would best put their trust in a Higher Power during times of uncertainty and overwhelming concern for others. Focus on understanding and releasing control rather than searching for factual truth. All will be comprehended eventually within the context of compassion. Be gentle with your-self and gentle with others. This is not the time to be highly focused and detail-oriented. In-stead, Mercury conjunct Neptune aspects can indicate a call for right-brain, creative, artistic, intuitive, and spiritual processes and growth. Go with the flow of consciousness and open to a whole new way of perceiving, knowing, and growing.
When interpreting a Solar Return chart, Most astrologers have an area of primary focus. For me, that starting point is the Solar Return North Nodes of the Moon , which indicate the most profound is-sues each of us is working on in this lifetime. The Nodes of the Moon are not planetary bodies; they are points formed by the Moon's orbit around the Earth intersecting with the Earth's path around the Sun. The direction of the Nodes is counterclockwise: The North Node is the ascending Node (the point closest to our North Pole), and generally exerts a positive influence in the sign and House where it is found. The South Node is the descending node (the point closest to our South Pole). Its effect can be to inadvertently drain energy from the area of its influence. The North and South Nodes are always exactly 180 degrees apart. Some astrologers use the "True Node" calculation (which takes into account the actual wobbling of the Moon's orbit), and som...
A Progressed Horoscope, also known as a Secondary Progression chart, is a powerful astrological tool used to gain deeper insights into an individual's personal evolution over time. Unlike a natal chart, which is a snapshot of the sky at the moment of your birth, the progressed chart shows how your natal chart evolves throughout your life. Key Points About Progressed Horoscope: Time Frame : The most common method of progression is called Secondary Progression, where each day after your birth represents one year of your life. For example, 30 days after your birth correspond to your 30th year. Key Changes : Progressed Sun : The Sun moves about one degree per year. Changes in your progressed Sun sign and house can indicate shifts in core identity and purpose. Progressed Moon : The Moon changes signs approximately every 2.5 years in the progressed chart. This reflects emotional shifts and changing needs. Progressed Ascendant : This can alter the way you present yourself to the world an...
While Pluto is in the 7th house, of Solar return chart issues concerning relationships become complex interactions which must be analyzed to be fully understood. Awareness is being raised to a new level of under-standing, and there is no book or course you can take which will give you the information you need for this passage. ( Read here: Pluto in 7th house Secondary progress ) Knowledge springs from the inner reaches of the mind and is fueled by the compulsions and frustrations realized in both intimate and nonintimate relationships. We must make a distinction here between two different relationship processes, and three different levels at which you may choose to work. The two different processes are love and hate, and the three different levels of interaction include nonintimate relationships, intimate partnerships, and soul-level attractions. (All three will be defined and explained.) It makes a difference whether you choose to learn through lessons of love or hat...
