The last time Neptune was in Pisces was between 1847 and 1862, a period that witnessed the birth of spiritualism as an organized belief system. This time round, emerging belief systems are many and varied, but there is a common theme of a compassionate awakening and a shift in humanity’s attitudes. More and more people are recognizing the need for kindness and peace, and more are becoming aware of the collective fate humanity shares, and the need to protect our precious planet.

In astrology, Neptune energy is profound and mystical, but it’s also dreamy, intuitive and quite difficult to pin down. This astrological energy speaks of self-sacrifice and karmic links, and of the subconscious ties which bind us together as a species. As a zodiac sign, Pisces is intensely emotional but also very selfless. As this transit continues, we can expect to see a greater number of people willing to make sacrifices in their own lives in order to serve the greater good.

On a personal level, Neptune’s astrological energy can be inspirational and highly artistic, but it’s also sensitive and easily hurt. When channelled through Pisces, each zodiac sign will experience Neptune’s energy in a slightly different way. Most of us will find a new outlet for our inherent spiritual gifts during this astrological transit, but the key is to understand how to use this energy to find your personal spiritual calling.
