I am pretty struck by y'all observations on Nep in 4H, it makes me wonder the effect of Nep in 1H of self. Reading about how Nep has ensured the dissolution of your roots, makes me wonder what sort of dissolution of the self to expect in future ( i am thinking when prog asc touches my nep position.) I am still quite young compared to you guys and as i started studying astrology recently, my conscious experience with it is still developing. I do look at my 3rd H pisces as a key answer to the question of neptunian influence. Saturn is here, Saturn deals with time esp the past. I have always been enamoured with the idea of Time itself and how it works esp in the realm of imaginations, i get this deja vus esp when I was younger which told me then that there was more to life than apparent. As we know Nep is transiting Pisces. And here is my experience of it in the 3rd H.
First decan experience : I was still in school, and it started with reading lots of books and novels, anything I could lay my hands on, and if i do say to myself i had say there were periods i think i was addicted to it at some point too with my avaricious tendency to lose myself into things i love. And books was my escape at this point. Self absorbed, i was somewhat detached from my everyday life at this point in the sense that i stopped trying hard in school ( i am quite intelligent and doing the bare minimum always got me the needed grades, thia didn't sit down well with my parents, teachers who still think i could achieved more then) - this period was Neptune ruled from my perspective. The second phase was me going to university, and you can guess what I escaped into this time around - anything to alter my mind that is - my favorite was cannabis ( **** i loved it the most) i am a very earthy person you see from my chart. The amazing thing was what I was doing unconsciously, smoking deep in the woods, by rivers, streams, ocean ( i studied marine science in uni -again another unconscious choice that makes sense now). I smoked for a while on mountains too- but deep in woods, bush away from the bustle was my favorite. I state this because writing this i somewhat notice that the period I started dissociating from this earlier choices to a more urban attitude to getting high that is i started feeling Pluto's effect - I subscribe Pluto as the ruler of this period of my life because by the time Neptune moves into the second decan - coinciding with when I finish university and my life started changing, ths beginning of a rebirth. Uni is a period of life you meet lots of different characters and in a sense you find yourself merging with the spirit of university.
Second decan experience - after feeling the effects of Pluto in a different ways that all pointed to a stripping away of my idea of who i thought i was, i started a rebirth process, not least toying with the idea of sobriety which i finally got to this year. This decan is ruled by Cancer(moon) and in this decan i am experiencing the cocoon-womb feeling, nurturing myself, rediscovering new parts of myself. Of course when you are in the cocoon you get more in touch with yourself and what you are, what you need and that's balanced with a detachment from the world. Also for the first time in my life i am closer to my younger siblings, i am back home you see. A very Cancer & 3H thing. In the previous decan my 'family' were those outside my natal family And so this is my report on Neptune in 3H Pisces as it transits.
Astrology really speaks symbollically, i realise this as i submit this reply.
