Review of Steven Forrest's "The Book Of Neptune"

"If you feel as if you've lost your footing, are sinking in quicksand or adrift on a large body of water with no land in sight, there's a good chance that Neptune is involved.  If that's the case, I can't recommend this book highly enough." --Whobeda
LUNATION SUMMARY
NEW MOON
(Brings something new into your life)
FULL MOON
(Ending, culmination, or shift to a new phase)
Date: 6 March 2019 Date: 20 March 2019
Position: 15:47 Pisces (Strongest influence for those born ~October 9) Position: 00:09 Libra (Strongest influence for those born ~25 September)
Natural House: 6th Natural House: 1st
Influences of the 6th house include work, health, service, employees, and pets.  Expect something new to come your way in one of these areas, such as a new job or a new project at work that takes you in a slightly different direction or requires some sort of adjustment.  It's an excellent time to work on your diet or fitness plan or see a healthcare professional if you haven't been feeling up to par.  A new pet could come into your life as well. The 1st house includes your personality, the face you show to the world, and how you "dawn" on people.  A Full Moon in your 1st house often brings about a change in behavior; perhaps you'll give up a bad habit or start pursuing something that takes you to a new level.  Recent experiences that have affected you could cause a subtle change to your persona and thus cause others to see you in a different way.
This is going to be a busy month. Besides the lunations, we have the Sun's ingress into Aries, marking an equinox and new season, Mercury stationing both retrograde and direct, and Uranus leaving Aries behind and going into Taurus. Some of these cosmic events occur on anaretic degrees, which makes their influence stronger. (More an anaretic degrees below.) Generally speaking, my advice for March is to buckle-up.

NEW MOON 

The New Moon this month on 6 March looks relatively friendly with no squares or oppositions within the lunation itself. It occurs in Pisces, conjunct Neptune, giving it a very strong Piscean flavor. This can be inspirational, dreamy, compassionate, and idealistic but also confusing and delusional if it hits your chart with a square or opposition. If you're a fellow Water Sign (Cancer or Scorpio) it will be friendlier than if you're a fellow Mutable Sign (Gemini, Virgo, or Sagittarius). Mercury is retrograde in the sign of his debility (also Pisces) so this is another indicator of some confusion and unclear thinking, if not out and out brain fog. [NOTE:--If you feel as if Neptune is really messing with you, I highly recommend Steven Forrest's book, "The Book of Neptune." There's a link above to my review above. I read this great book when Neptune was messing with me a few years ago and it helped me retain my sanity and deal with it in a more positive way.]

That said, the lunation/Neptune trio is sextile Saturn in Capricorn, which implies an opportunity for building your dreams. This aspect has been in effect courtesy of Neptune for quite some time. With Mercury retrograde, this throws the "rethinking" side into play. For example, if you've not taken action on this for some reason, then it's time to reconsider. Not the time to start, just rethink your plan and get your ducks in a row. The lunation is also sextile Mars in Taurus, which implies taking action, albeit slowly and methodically; again, with the Mercury RX caveat, for actually starting a new endeavor. Maybe slow, methodical revisions or redefining your plan is what you need to be doing. All in all, the lunation/Neptune trio, Saturn, and Mars create a sextile pattern, which typically indicates a talent or opportunity. If the lunation is hitting you in a favorable way, it should be helpful to your imagination and vision; conversely, if it hits in a less favorable way, i.e. square or opposition, then it could bring confusion, laziness, or lack of motivation.

FULL MOON

The Full Moon on 20 March is in Libra, three hours, forty-four minutes and twenty-five seconds after the Aries ingress. As you're probably aware, that marks a new season, spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Seasonal changes can be dramatic, and being reinforced by the Full Moon is likely to exaggerate it even more. Right off the top of my head, I would think that those of you who have been looking forward to the next season should see an abrupt change, if not before, due to the Aries ingress as reinforced by a Full Moon, which typically indicates an ending, culmination, or shift to a new phase. A quick review seems appropriate here for the functions of the sign modalities. There are Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable signs. Cardinal implies direct action; Fixed implies stability; and Mutable implies change. Seasonal changes, marked by ingresses of the Sun into Cardinal signs, indicate the seasonal changes at the equinoxes and solstices. The first month (Cardinal sign) is the time of change. The second month (Fixed sign), when the season is settling into its usual expression. The third month (Mutable sign), when it starts to transition to the next one.

There have been several Full Moons lately that occur around zero degrees, or on the cusp of a sign. Those of you born with your Sun at zero degrees are thus getting a large input of cosmic energy. This suggests dramatic and noticeable events, some good, some not. The aspects for this lunation are a bit of a mix. Mercury is still retrograde for just over another week, so it affects both lunations this month. Mars in Taurus is stirring up a few things with four tight aspects. His square to Venus in Aquarius suggests some potential challenges with a friend or group regarding money. His trine to Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn provide a show of power and control; be sure to recognize which situations and events you control and those you don't. This is time to remember the Serenity Prayer, i.e. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." In other words, use that sense of control wisely. The quincunx to Jupiter in Sagittarius exaggerates all this, perhaps making it into a bigger deal than it really is. The aspect is a quincunx, which implies the need for a change of direction, adjustment, or in some cases, a Catch-22.

Mercury retrograde is sextile Saturn, which suggests some help with those revisions, reconsiderations, editing, auditing, or reworking whatever is on your plate.

Uranus, also at zero degrees, is thus throwing additional disruptions and surprises into this lunation. Both ingress charts and lunation charts are used in astrometeorology, or weather prediction (which is what the Farmers' Almanac uses, by the way) so having two such events within hours of each other also bodes for some interesting weather. Or it may simply be the quiet before the storm, literally.

OTHER COSMIC INFLUENCES

Mercury stations retrograde on 5 March. As noted earlier, this is right before the New Moon. Thus, the station chart is similar. It's worth noting that Mercury stations at 29:39 Pisces. The 29th degree is often referred to as anaretic, giving it additional strength. The planet has been gaining the strength imparted by that sign for it's entire journey and is thus saturated with that energy. It's about to make a dramatic energy change as it goes into the next sign. It can thus provide a sense of urgency. With a retrograde station, it gives me the impression the planet is afraid to leave, and thus stays where it is for a while longer. This could even effect a sense of let-down, when the change doesn't occur. Think of standing on a diving board that is higher than your comfort zone. You change your mind, and go back down to safety on the ground below. The 29th degree of Pisces, a sign which is often dreamy and unrealistic, on the cusp of Aries could easily be cautious about taking action. When a planet goes into the next sign, the 0 degree is also critical and therefore anaretic as well. So think about all the action going on this month at those degrees.

Meanwhile, back to the Mercury RX station, to add a little more excitement, Mercury is semisextile Uranus, at 29:58 degrees Aries. So both planets are on that diving board. Mercury, however, chickens out, while Uranus goes ahead and takes the plug. Nonetheless, they're in cahoots, discussing all this, where Mercury goes RX. A semisextile is an aspect between nextdoor signs, which don't usually get a long. They are far different from each other with nothing in common, whether by element or modality. Thus, there is friction which often translates as an annoyance. However, this can also be a blessing in disguise or cloud with a silver lining. These, of course, require a positive attitude to put forth the effort to turn it to your advantage. Thus, perhaps a delay, already implied by Mercury going retrograde, is suggested. It's time to rethink and reconsider any important actions on your agenda.

Mercury stations direct on 28 March. He does this in partile (same degree) conjunction with Neptune, as if he's kissing him good-bye. Venus has gone into Pisces by this time, the sign of her exaltation, and she's sextile Uranus, new resident of Taurus, the sign that loves material security and comforts. This could have some interesting influences on romantic relationships where you may have been rethinking the situation. However, remember that Pisces is loaded with idealism and delusions to say nothing of fantasies, imagination, and illusions. Bear that in mind before acting too suddenly. This conflict between your head and heart is further driven home by a square between the Sun and Moon. It's also a time to ponder the past and anything it may have taught you.

Note that Uranus goes into Taurus on 6 March 7 hours, 35 minutes, and 31 seconds before the New Moon. Thus, the ingress has very similar aspects to the lunation. Uranus set his toes into Taurus a while back, like testing the water, then backed out via retrograde. Now he's back to stay. With this disruptive planet in an Earth Sign it will be interesting what kind of trouble he gets into. As noted above regarding anaretic degrees, an ingress takes a luminary or planet from one anaretic degree to another, suggesting the possibility of a whiplash effect. Most speculations I've seen for Uranus in Taurus point toward the weather. I would also look for an increase in earthquakes, volcanoes, and other tectonic-related events. With him a semi-square away from Neptune, that could include floods and tsunamis. We've already seen quite a bit of that this past year, so that isn't very good news. It is probably wise to make sure your insurance coverage includes such events. On a personal basis, his influence is going to be most noticeable in the house he's transiting in your birth chart. Expect the unexpected.
