Neptune square Sun: A confusing period

Mid April 2009 until beginning of February 2011:

'You should avoid several types of activity during this time, because your insecurity about yourself will make them turn out badly. First, this is not a particularly good time to become involved in spiritual or mystical sects. Your sense of self needs nourishment and growth, not denial. You are not yet ready for that, and the teachings of such groups are likely to confuse you and retard your development as a human being. Similar warnings apply to the study of the occult in general'

There tends challenges reflected by hard Neptune transits.

Neptune has to do with dissolution like dissolution of boundaries.

Sun is the ego,the "core" of a person,the vitality

so with transiting Neptune square the Sun, it can indicate the ego boundaries are being dissolved, becoming so sensitive like a sponge that there can be issue of needing to differentiate what's your stuff and what's other's stuff. Hard Neptune aspects are said to indicate oversensitivity,psychic overload.

This transit calls for you to make effort to be grounded to avoid losing touch with reality due to your sensitivity controlling you instead of you controlling your sensitivity.

You can do that through meditation,listening to gentle/soothing music like New Age/meditation music, getting massages,drinking herbal tea like chamomile tea, and just plain relaxation.

Transits like those are the need to be careful and avoid confusion,deception,illusion,impracticality

the body can be more sensitive at this time,and so things like food,drink might affect you a lot more. There is also possibility of some type of health issues that might be hard to pin down. It's common to be misdiagnosed during these transits.

If you avoid confusion,deception,illusion, then it could be good for being compassionate,mystical,creative,spiritual,artistic,inspirational

also it depends on what else is going on too whether transits,secondary progressions,and solar arcs.

BTW

I don't agree with those transit time spans.
I don't know how they do that stuff.

I just look at when major transits are within 3 degree orb applying and within 1 degree orb separating. I will look at within 1 degree applying for an event to take place that relates to the transit.

that period takes much less than that time period.

It depends on everything else. My Neptune aspects everything basically.. but I have a Cap Moon-Mars and Sun trine Saturn to keep me grounded.

I believe that it depends on the person

I am just not sure if the element matters in regards to being grounded or not.
the same with aspects for that matter

My father was a drug addict/dealer,ex-convict. I grew up without never knowing him. He was anything but grounded.

He was a neurodivergent who was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic which I think was probably a misdiagnosis.

A neurodivergent black man that had stuttering/cluttering speech,was awkward,needing people repeat things said to him,highly emotional,ultrasensitive,believing in Voodoo magick,evil spirits and practicted protection from it like his grandmother (he was born in New Orleans and grew up in Lake Charles..so born and raised in Louisiana) from that stuff would easily get misdiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic by prison psychiatrists.

He had the following planets in Earth:

Sun-Mercury conjunction in Capricorn

trine stationary Jupiter-stationary Saturn conjunction in Taurus

Uranus in Taurus

stationary retrograde Neptune in Virgo which sextile his Mars in Scorpio and disposited his Moon in Pisces
