Into the Flow- Inspiration or madness-- Neptune Direct

If you are sensitive you may notice a turning of the tide this week in an area. Neptune is in direct motion in the sign of Aquarius. This is a slow moving planet so things can often begin and unfold gradually over months. Neptune rules inspiration, dreams, confusion, delusion, fantasy, forces of nature, the actual ocean/tide, feelings of spirit, grace or divinity. We want and need to access that energy to get in touch with life, to move our spirit towards its purpose, and for healing, dreams, access to higher love and compassion. It symbolizes inspiration that seemingly comes from nowhere, being swept into one direction over another but significantly it also corresponds with loss of control or being less than able to steer a course of action. The spectrum can slip over to madness, substance abuse, chaos and dysfunction as so sadly witnessed in the shooting at the US military base today. The middle ground is to balance a loosening of ideas of complete perfection and control in order to keep a space open for the unknown to operate.
For the past several moths the planet has been in retrograde or seemingly backward motion. This may have given rise to a doubts over personal ability or desire to produce, achieve or maintain in some area or a lengthy time of reflection on just how to manage. Perhaps doubting your dreams or changing and upgrading them or doubting, reflecting and considering change in areas of dysfunction, considering what needs healing in your life with a neutral attitude, seeing through the fog of confusion. Now is the time that these things will progress. You may notice actual increase in the rememberance of your nightly dreams or something surrounding them changes. Doubts can clear, ideas refined, changes ready to implement. Solutions will become evident, which may be to give up fighting a loosing battle. Some will take on a new cause or spirituality.
Important to remember that if control is slipping in some area then consider that area up for review. Does it need more intervention or a breather? You may have no say in it, just be ok with letting go wherever this presents.  This could mean leaving a boring or negative situation for something better. Negatively some who are already in loss of control will lose even more, potentially due to trying to force the results they want against the tide. Prepare for some folks to abuse substances or it could be they finally get into rehab. For any of us, for better or worse, changes may just feel like a sacrafice or loss and some will no doubt experience such. Try to see that a retreat is not defeat especially if it improves the overall quality of your life. Accordingly we are reminded that everything is temporary in nature and endings are also a part of life.
