Star Struck Style

Neptune goes direct in Pisces on December 7. While it isn’t lined up on the axis I mentioned in this post that I wrote back in 2019, it is still likely that a sense of “clarity” will return to many of the people who consider themselves to be “persecuted” by the current political climate. And although Jupiter isn’t going to be moving through Capricorn as it was back then, Saturn’s current ingress through Pisces will ensure that “reality checks” are de rigueur over the next few months. For that reason, much of the following passage I wrote regarding Neptune’s direct movement still rings true today:

“The planet is currently in Pisces, the sign over which it rules, so its power over society’s collective confusion at the moment cannot be understated. It also went retrograde at a degree that opposes the great Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo of 1965/66. I know this because I was born at that time. Many people of my generation should be feeling the effects of this opposition, wondering how we got to a place where people choose to believe whatever they want to believe. Just this morning, I was reading about the “War on Thanksgiving.” I never thought that I would find myself living in a world where over-privileged, rich, white Americans would spend their days claiming that they are a persecuted minority, but self-martyrdom is a Pisces thing and Neptune in the sign is enabling their delusions.

Anyway, this little dance between Neptune and this crucial degree is going to continue for some time. Nevertheless, now that the planet is going direct, some clarity should begin to return to those people who have been perpetuating this fantasy that they are an oppressed minority. Expect some major reality checks to occur over the next few months. When Jupiter enters Capricorn next week, our collective focus will begin to return — and we’re not going to like what we see.”

Slowly, but surely, things will start to come into focus as Neptune moves out of its retrograde shadow. A sense of clarity will start to return to the people who voted Donald Trump into office, and they are not going to like what they see. At the same time, until Neptune actually moves out of Pisces, many of them are going to continue to play the victim in imaginary scenarios that they have created to justify their own shitty behavior. My advice is to ignore them. Their persecution complex depends upon finding an audience that sympathizes with them. Without that audience, they just scream into the void.

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens when Neptune moves into Aries: a sign where self-reliance is highlighted and self-martyrdom is regarded as a character flaw. That doesn’t happen until the end of March, though. We’ve still got a while to get through this current era. In the meantime, don’t be that entitled asshole who believes that the whole world is against them. Take a step back to gain some clarity and evaluate your situation in a broader context. You’re probably much better off than you realize.
