Transit (moving) Neptune is nearing the end of its time in Pisces, and will eventually move into Aries. Most of the time Neptune has left in Pisces, it'll be anaretic. What does this mean?

Neptune rules spirituality, intuition, compassion, the arts, hidden things, and illusion in astrology. In the natal chart, natal Neptune can show where you have compassion and empathy, are creative, can find spirituality and be intuitive, and where you need to work on being more realistic.
In transit, Neptune's base energy is to dissolve, and it's notoriously foggy when it's challenged. This means we don't see everything that's right in front of us, so we can think everything's fine when it's not. When transit Neptune is behaving well, this can be a time of super intuition and creativity; when it's not, we're kind of delusional! This normally happens with transit Neptune conjunct, square, or opposite a natal planet, especially the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, or Ceres. What is the anaretic degree in astrology?
There are 30 degrees in every Zodiac sign, 360 degrees total (30 x 12). 29 degrees is the last degree of each Zodiac sign, and is called the anaretic degree as it has very high energy.
In the natal chart, the bodies at the anaretic degree have super heightened energy, and this is usually overwhelming and scary so we avoid it (though some go in the opposite direction and play it up too much, to their detriment). In transit, the anaretic degree is crisis energy. It's an *almost always* situation of triggering something really big and important with slow planets like Neptune. Anaretic Neptune in Pisces Dates:
Anaretic Neptune in Pisces Impact:
Neptune is super delusional at the anaretic degree, not gonna lie! Hard Neptune amplifies the foggy energy times a million, and that is extra strong when anaretic, and in Pisces, the sign Neptune naturally rules anyway.
We may think we're seeing things clearly, but we're really deluding ourselves. We may think nothing is clouding our judgment, but that's not true. We may convince ourselves that the past isn't coming back to bite us, while it's biting us! Neptune and Pisces rule karma, the past, and ways we are our own worst enemy, so we may see lots of karma coming home to roost, past issues blowing up in our faces (but we try to act like it's not), and many people may lead to their own undoing. But the crazy part is, we likely won't have one clue about this until this transit is over! That's the nature of the Neptunian fog. It can be right in front of our faces, and it might be obvious to everyone but ourselves, and once we become aware of it, we're kicking ourselves for being so clueless. One thing that makes me wonder if we'll be maybe slightly less delusional is Saturn also in Pisces. Saturn is the planet of reality, the one who wants us to see what's really there. Saturn could try to limit some of the delusion. But, Saturn could also be showing extra punishment for the delusion, so we're still delusional, but we're also being punished for that to the max. Another challenge with hard Neptune like this is, we tend to sway too far in one direction or the other when it comes to empathy and compassion. We can be TOO empathetic and compassionate, and end up being walked all over. This leaves us vulnerable to become victims to those who have bad ulterior motives. We need to remember healthy boundaries are important, and not having them is bad for everyone. Or, we may end up going the other way, and lack empathy completely. Unfortunately, we often see mass atrocities in the world under hard Neptune because of this. We may not be world leaders (or maybe you are, hey what the heck are you doing???), but we can still work to make sure we're exercising compassion with those in our lives and who we encounter. Instead of automatically thinking the worst of someone, lend a hand (with healthy boundaries!). It's important to work on a few things during this period. One is to tether yourself to reality. Work on grounding yourself a loooot more during this period. Walk in nature, stimulate your root chakra. Constantly check in to make sure you're being realistic about things. In what ways are you reading too much into it? Could anything from the past be coloring your view? Second, work on your connection to your intuition. Even if you're making sure you're grounded in reality, it's still likely there will be situations where you don't have all of the facts and information you need. This is where good intuition can be of assistance. What blocks to your intuition do you need to work on? How can you work to strengthen your intuition? Third, and this might be the most important - work on your baggage! Spiritual, emotional, early life, past life. This is actually an incredible period for digging into your subconscious mind, reflecting and being introspective, releasing baggage that weighs you down, and getting a better understanding of your subconscious motivations and desires. Take up journaling, join a support group, try art therapy, etc. Don't be afraid of facing this baggage. This is a huge period for everyone to do so, and that is a blessed opportunity, NOT a dreadful punishment. This will be especially important for anyone who has a natal planet, angle, or other body at the anaretic degree. It doesn't matter the Zodiac sign; I find with the anaretic degree, the aspect doesn't matter, just being at that degree, it'll be lit up. If that's you, give focus on grounding, strengthening intuition, and releasing baggage with whatever the point rules. For everyone, look to the house in your natal chart 29 degrees Pisces falls. The areas of life ruled by that house can be where massive releasing has to occur, where you need to get deep within your subconscious and spiritual self, and where you must gain understanding. Get out of your own way, and work it out. This is likely going to be strongest during three periods, and the first is when Neptune turns retrograde on July 2nd 2024 at 29 degrees Pisces, so at the anaretic degree. Retrograde bodies appear to move backward through the Zodiac, and this can throw them off. When retrogrades start or end at the anaretic degree, everything *really* goes wonky! I think the fog will be especially strong around this time, and we have to be extra focused on being realistic. The second period is with the Pisces Lunar Eclipse on September 17th 2024. Neptune won't be anaretic by then, but the eclipse is conjunct (aligned with) Neptune, so there is likely going to be a lingering effect, and that eclipse in particular is likely going to be absolutely massive for releasing, karma, and divine plans, so we really need to be on top of it then. I think punishment for delusion can also be strong around this time, and we might suddenly become aware of something that is exposed and brought into the light, and it shocks the system. The third period is March 27th - 30th 2025, when Venus is retrograde and goes to Pisces on March 27th, so it's anaretic, and Mercury is also retrograde and goes back to Pisces March 29th and is anaretic, and Neptune is going to Aries on March 30th, so Venus retrograde, Mercury retrograde, and Neptune are conjunct at the anaretic degree. Can anyone say YOWZA!!!! Holy guacamole, that is going to be huge! We're probably going to see something really important play out in the world, and I worry the lack of empathy might be extra strong. Hopefully we can stay compassionate through it, and don't let cruelty take over. Another thing about Neptune is it rules drugs (legal and not), toxicity, so we may be seeing more focus on this, and perhaps some issue with a specific drug or medication. Neptune also rules water, so we can see water problems (issues with treatment facilities, droughts, and also floods, tsunamis, etc.). One good thing that could come from this transit is we can all experience a major awakening, whether spiritual, intuitive, or karmic. Be open to subtle energies, pay attention to dreams. Signs might be everywhere, but we have to make sure we're both seeing them and interpreting them correctly (not just in the way we wish they were). Aye, we're in for a wild ride! Especially with Pluto also anaretic from some of this, and Uranus on the move to Gemini soon and also anaretic. These are some wild times we're living in. It got started with the Capricorn stellium in 2020 and it's not done with us yet!

With Amor in Aries, love has been more fun, free, and full of activity. Amor did retrograde for a bit in Aries as well, so that brought out some aggression and frustration. Amor doesn't retrograde in Taurus, and Taurus is more grounded, secure, and stable, so we're in better control of our romantic selves.
Amor in Taurus helps to ground and stabilize love and romance, and we can take our time with romance, not wanting to rush into anything until we're certain that it's what we want. Once we get into it, we can stick with it, and can be more loyal to those we love. We can also show love in more physical ways since Taurus is an earth sign, and we can be more sensual and want to connect physically, but we can also give more gifts to those we're interested in and love (and to ourselves!). Romance can be strong in the dinner category, and we may want to eat something rich and decadent more often. Amor tours Zodiac sign Taurus from April 21st to July 9th 2024. Conjunctions for Amor in Taurus:
Amor in Taurus will conjunct (align with) Uranus in Taurus on June 26th 2024. Amor conjunct Uranus brings out more sudden, unexpected, and unconventional energy with love and romance, and we might experience some sudden developments romantically or some unexpected changes in romance. We may try to fight this with the Taurus energy, but it's better to be flexible and go with it.
Amor in Taurus conjuncts Venus on May 2nd, and Venus is the natural ruler of Taurus (though Ceres is also to be ruler). This amplifies the impact, and we're extra romantic, sensual, and want to connect physically. This would be a great time for fancy dinners, spa days, and massages. Amor in Taurus conjuncts Mercury on May 24th.

Cupido in Aries speeds up Cupido and makes it loud and proud. Cupido in Pisces is quiet and keeps to the background with its passions and infatuations, not wanting any attention for it and feeling a bit shy. Aries, on the other hand, is fiery and enthusiastic, so Cupido's passionate side can be strong. We can take the initiative with what we're passionate about, and can take the lead with crushes.
Enthusiasm and excitement can get channeled into whatever we do, and we can make quick work. We may not stick with it too long though since Aries gets bored quickly, so crushes may be short-lived. Whatever we're passionate about, we can throw ourselves into initially, and we can hit the ground running. We can have a big head start, so even if we don't stick with it for very long, we can still make progress at the onset. BUT we do have to keep in mind at the start that Mercury is retrograde (appearing to move backward) in Aries until April 25th, and even though it doesn't align with Cupido, this can still influence it a little bit, and we may want to reconnect with old crushes, especially ones from our youth. Transit Cupido in Aries conjuncts (align with) transit Chiron on May 24th 2024 at 21 degrees Aries, and this is the strongest aspect for Cupido in Aries. Chiron is the wounded healer and rules our greatest wounds and healing abilities. Cupido conjunct can bring out old wounds involving past crushes, past infatuations, or past passions, and we can work to heal from it now. We can be more vulnerable with anything we're passionate about at the time of the conjunction, and need to make sure we're being considerate of ourselves and others, otherwise new wounds can occur. On the plus side, we can be extra passionate about healing and helping, and this can be a good time for that. Asteroid Cupido in Aries for the Zodiac Signs:

The house that falls in Aquarius (has Aquarius on the house cusp) can show areas of life where you take an unconventional, hopeful approach.

Transit Uranus won't be in Aquarius until 2079 (and was last in Aquarius 1995-2003), but we'll experience many changes in general since Uranus rules Aquarius. Transit Neptune won't be in Aquarius until 2161 (and was last in Aquarius 1998-2012), but at that point, we'll experiment spiritually. Transit Chiron moves to Aquarius in 2055 (and was last in Aquarius 2005-2010), and we can tackle issues of independence and individuality. Transit Pluto is moving to Aquarius now, and this will demand we transform our dreams, the future, and make changes that transform.

This makes Sagittarius seem lucky, but it's really the optimism that gives it luck.
Sagittarius in Astrology: Big Picture
Sagittarius rules the big picture in astrology. Sagittarius can take a step back and see how things all come together, and doesn't get lost in the details or the small stuff. Sagittarius knows that it'll all come together in the end, so why stress out about it now?
Sagittarius in Astrology: Wise
Sagittarius is the wise Zodiac sign, which can sometimes be surprising, but this is because Sagittarius loves to learn through life experience. This means Sagittarius has plenty of stories to tell, and loves to tell them, and can share all that it's learned from what it's experienced with others.
Sagittarius in Astrology: Adventurous
Sagittarius is highly adventurous, and always open to new experiences. Sagittarius is the adventurer, the one who wants to get out and explore, roam, and visit. This sign connects with long-distance travel (including flight).
Sagittarius in Astrology: Gregarious
Sagittarius is a gregarious fire sign, and often gets along with everyone (or at least tries to). Sagittarius is so optimistic that this can be infectious, and loves to engage in fun conversation and tell fun stories, so others can gravitate to Sagittarius.
Sagittarius in Astrology: Expansive
Sagittarius is an expansive sign thanks to being ruled by Jupiter, planet of expansion. Sagittarius is always looking to expand in some way. Sagittarius also links to space and freedom.
Sagittarius in Astrology: Beliefs
Sagittarius rules our beliefs, and can be quite passionate about what it believes. Sagittarius can form strong opinions, and can be quite open with them. As a result, Sagittarius connects with both religious and political beliefs.
Sagittarius in Astrology: The Preachy Runner
When not manifesting well, Sagittarius can be preachy and a runner. Instead of facing problems, Sagittarius can run away from them, and keeps running. Instead of keeping an open mind, Sagittarius can force its opinions on others, making it preachy. Sagittarius has to learn to face the hard stuff and open its ears.
Where Your Sagittarius Energy is Found
If you have any natal planets in Sagittarius, the way those planets express themselves is via Sagittarius, so they are optimistic, expansive, and open. The more Sagittarius planets you have, the more Sagittarius-like you can be.
Even if you have no natal planets in Sagittarius, you will have at least one natal house with Sagittarius. The house that falls in Sagittarius (has Sagittarius on the house cusp) can show areas of life where you take an optimistic, expansive approach. If you have no Sagittarius house cusps, Sagittarius is intercepted (contained) in the house that falls in Scorpio, and your Sagittarius energy can manifest subconsciously with whatever that house rules. Transit Planets in Sagittarius
When the transit (moving) planets are in Sagittarius, this can give all of us some Sagittarius energy to play with. The transit Sun is in Sagittarius roughly every year from mid November to mid December, and this is Sagittarius Season, which brings greater emphasis on expansion and openness for us all.
Transit Mercury in Sagittarius helps us to think bigger and brighter; transit Venus in Sagittarius can make us more adventurous in love; transit Mars in Sagittarius can make us more adventurous and bolder; transit Ceres in Sagittarius can make us expand resources and improve confidence; and transit Jupiter in Sagittarius brings opportunities to expand, explore, and learn. Transit Saturn in Sagittarius can bring out issues we have with Sagittarius, so issues around having space or our beliefs. Any issues around that, we can struggle with, and Saturn can prompt us to work it out. Saturn was last in Sagittarius 2014-2017 (and won't be again until 2044). Transit Uranus won't be in Sagittarius until 2065 (and was last in Sagittarius 1981-1988), but we'll experience many changes impacting our beliefs and expansion. Transit Neptune won't be in Sagittarius until 2133 (and was last in Sagittarius 1970-1984), but at that point, we'll expand spiritually. Transit Chiron moves to Sagittarius in 2049 (and was last in Sagittarius 1999-2001), and we can tackle issues with expanding and exploring. Transit Pluto was last in Sagittarius 1995-2008 (and won't be again until 2241!), and this makes for passionate beliefs and transformative expansion.

When multiple planets are in Sagittarius in your natal chart, this can give you strong Sagittarius energy in your life and personality. You can be optimistic, gregarious, and expansive. This can be the case if you have a Sagittarius stellium (3+ planets in one Zodiac sign), or if you have 2 of your primary triad (Sun, Moon, Rising) in Sagittarius.
You can also feel that you have strong Sagittarius energy if your natal Jupiter is strong, which is the planet that rules Sagittarius. This can be the case if your natal Jupiter is conjunct your natal Sun, Moon or Ascendant, or your 1st house ruler, or if your natal Jupiter is a singleton (only planet in an element, modality, or house type). When multiple transit planets are in Sagittarius, this gives all of us a strong dose of Sagittarius energy all at once. We can expand and explore. How we end up feeling this personally is usually focused on the house in your natal chart the Sagittarius energy occurs in. Suggested Reading: The Sagittarius Sun sign page |
