The BIG NEWS today is the Sun in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces. The last time this aspect occurred was on June 7, 2018 and before that it was right at a year ago on December 3, 2017 and before that it was June 4, 2017. Do you see the pattern here folks? If you are set on studying, learning and applying Astrology, then watch the patterns. Now think about this . . since Neptune will be in Pisces until March 30, 2025 then you can 'count on' this pattern being present every six (6) months (June and December) when the Sun in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces and when the Sun in Sagittarius squares Neptune in Pisces. Got it? So up until December 2024 this aspect will occur twice a year (because after March 30, 2025 this square will not occur with the Gemini Sun in June 2025 because Neptune will have moved into Aries by then). So the mutable signs of Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces are indeed getting their ego-checked, especially those with a birthdate anywhere around the 'orb of influence' of this aspect. Folks this is some cool growth!!! Chances these signs know exactly what I'm talking about. And for the other mutable sign of Virgo, they are getting checked during this time when the Virgo Sun opposes Neptune in Pisces during their birthday month.

If you have been keeping up with the December 2018 Astro Memes then you already knew that this energy began in applying (approaching) degrees on November 27th, it is exact today, and it will last in separating degrees until December 12th. So we have been under the 'orb of influence' of this aspect for a full week as it became closer and closer to exact, as it stands today.

Notice how this aspect of 'deceiving yourself' or having an 'inflated ego' or having 'delusions of grandeur' is impacting you. Surely you have been feeling some of this energy lay upon you, but where? If you are an individual who enjoys reflecting upon yourself or you enjoy the pursuit of 'self-actualization' then it is quite possible you have seen a bit of ego-inflation lately. This aspect is what makes a person think they are the spiritual master, or the guru, or the vessel, who is the one to deliver the message to God's people. Certainly, we are all vessels, but this aspect causes you to think of yourself as 'the important one' and the one who wants to be seen as important.

This aspect will cause you to paint yourself in a more colorful light, with thinner brush strokes than what might actually be the True case. You must continue to accept spiritual responsibility with clarity, humility and grace with this aspect. In order to keep the ego in-check, Saturn will need to be embraced in order to enact some self-limitation, responsibility, groundedness and self-discipline. If this aspect is not kept in-check, it can easily turn into something morbid and ugly, such as debasing and debauchery. You might do things for Love that you would otherwise have the common sense not to do. This is because Neptune is the higher octave of Venus. This leaves scandal, affairs and secrecy in its wake. Love can be confused, weak, drunk, pornographic and unfulfilled. Self-destruction and self-undoing can easily take over with this aspect. So you can see how this could affect you?

Neptune naturally rules Pisces and the 12th house of self-undoing and weakness, but also remember that our greatest weakness is also our greatest strength. The other tendency with this aspect is to find a way of escape (nature of the Pisces fish) to dart off in another direction. This could lead to drugs, alcohol, sex, etc., in order to dive into illusion and escape reality.

Another route of escapism might be into a cult or some form of mysticism that robs you of the self, rather than helping you discover more about yourself. Certainly having a well-developed (or structured) spiritual or religious backbone will help you from falling into some sort of ego-trip-vessel persona. Again, we are all vessels, of course but the vessel accompanied with such a large ego is not the vessel we should seek.

This is also not an aspect that you should engage in speculation, gambling or financial risk. The mind is not right with this aspect and you could easily bet the ranch and lose.

Empathy and suffering can be overwhelming with this aspect so you have to have your head screwed on straight. This aspect can be very helpful if you have artistic, musical or creative talents, which is where this energy should be directed.
