Would anyone mind sharing their personal experience(s) of Neptune transits to their personal planets?

I want to preface my account of how Neptune is affecting me personally by sharing that I have seen a distinct Neptunian influence in the general population as of late. Many people have shared with me their random feelings of discontent, absentmindedness, forgetfulness, and general confusion. While each person has attributed it to "change of weather", or "that time of year", I can't help but feel that transiting Neptune at 10 degrees Pisces, the midpoint of royal stars Aldebaran and Antares, has something to do with it. 10 degrees Pisces technically squares both points, therefore I tend to think this configuration would have something to do with a "collective Neptunian" transit as we've all got royal stars in our chart, whether or not they're activated by personal planets. What do you all think?

I'm currently at the precipice of a Neptune square to my natal Moon at 11 degrees Gemini. My story begins last Monday. As I hadn't been up to date with any ephemeris, I had no idea what I was in store for. I woke up on Monday, March 14 feeling "off". I couldn't define why or even what I was feeling, but by 4pm, I was bench-pressing at the gym, when I began balling for no apparent reason. Not only was it surprising because of the context of what I was doing when I began to cry, but the notion of me crying in general is a laughable one. Having a potent air energy in my chart, emotional outbursts are simply not my thing. Naturally, I googled an ephemeris, and sure enough, Neptune had just entered 10 degrees Pisces. Not only is 10 degrees Virgo my Moon/Mercury midpoint, but Neptune had moved to one degree away from an exact square to my Moon on Gemini.

Since last Monday, I've been subject to what I would render Neptunian pandemonium. I should add that Neptune has been squaring my natal Mercury at 8 degrees Sagittarius for a year now, but I was able to cope with any "Neptunian" effects that transit induced. Under my Mercury-Neptune transit, I was inspired, got deeper into yoga, read up on spiritual matters and was just not as mentally agile as a Mercury in Sag might otherwise be. I could live with that. What I didn't foresee was the havoc Neptune would (insofar) wreak once it squared my moon. In retrospect, I should have foreseen it - the Moon is the most heavily aspected planet in my chart, touching all but two planets.

Though my Neptune square Mercury transit did cause undue anxiety in regard to my health (Virgo ruler of my 12th), I did my best to transcend any hypochondriacal fits I found myself in. With Neptune now squaring my Moon, I find myself more forgetful than ever before - in regard to what time appointments are, if I brushed my teeth this morning, how many sets of a certain exercise I did at the gym, where I left the keys - I'm also extremely foggy brained and have what seems like an ongoing headache for a while now, am ridiculously tired and require more sleep than ever before (I've read about Neptune's "eternal slumber"). I'm less able to retain knowledge dispersed in convo - my mind drifts aimlessly. Naturally, I begin to think there must be something wrong cognitively, but if I consider Neptune's transit, all of these "symptoms" sound fairly commonplace to what I've read up on. I've felt emotionally overwhelmed and for the first time ever (Libra rising) I feel the need to retreat to isolation and be alone with my seemingly overwhelming yet ambiguous undefined, unstable emotions.

Something else worth noting is what I've noticed as potentially the power of manifestation under this transit, or dare I say, synchronicity. For example, an inordinate number of people have exclaimed they were "just thinking of me" when I see them/talk to them/text them within the last two weeks. I've also been thinking extremely arbitrary thoughts during a convo with someone in regard to a topic irrelevant to my wandering thoughts, when the person I'm conversing with "randomly" brings up this arbitrary thought of mine as if it were there's to begin with. It's happened twice in the last week. Could this be Neptune's infamous blurred boundary effect, and I'm picking up what they actually feel and think it's my feelings? If this is the case and a Neptune transit has the potential power to manifest via synchronicity, I will gladly and tirelessly call upon the best energy and thoughts to get me through this transit!

Anyhow, sorry for ranting, but this recent bout of Neptunian occurrences has this self-proclaimed anal-retentive control-freak beside himself! Moon rules my 10th House, so I'm hoping if I harness Neptune energy correctly, it will translate to prosperous creativity in my career (I've been notably more inspired to write poems and dance as of late). I'm also a singer, and have found it therapeutic to sing since Neptune hit - almost as if the adverse Neptunian effects vanish when I do. Anything you may be able to offer would offer me insight, I'm sure. What were your Neptune transits like? What did you learn, what are coping tips, what to watch out for? I'll take it all!

I do have to say I feel Neptune is a planet that brings you to your knees to make you see you're part of a deeper larger more unified collective - therefore rids the native of ego by whatever means possible. Do we agree?

I've been experiencing very similar things. I found out in late January I was extremely deficient in vitamin D..

You may also be dealing with a deficiency. It really screws with a lot of things.

Fatigue, forgetfulness, vision changes, weakness, feeling like you are practically drunk/high even when you're sober.. Really, I'd call it derealization to be more specific.

Not to say this is all from the deficiency.. But, doing some research, I found that a lot of people with it were also experiencing these things. Especially the mental foggyness and forgetfulness. Another weird occurrence a lot of people seemed to have with the deficiency were jaw pain.. Could be what you are feeling as a headache.

Could also be that when they checked my thyroid last, my ranges were in the "subclinical hypothyroidism" levels. Hypothyroidism can also cause forgetfulness... So, in my case, the combination of these things could have something to do with it. But, when I originally was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency and was experiencing the derealization, my thyroid levels were at a normal level.

I also have Transit Neptune square Natal Moon.

You may want to get your vitamin D levels checked, if at all possible. It seems it can cause a lot more problems than people realize. It also takes a few months to get it back to normal, then sometimes a few more to actually feel more normal once the range is where it needs to be. You may also want to get your thyroid checked.

The transit definitely outlines this energy though, in my opinion.

It could easily be nothing physical in your situation.. But, if you can at least check those levels, it may be of benefit.

I don't mean to tell you what to do.. But, after reading other people's experiences with the deficiency, and experiencing it first hand, I just want to put it out there as a possible cause.

The crying was unbearable - and I'm one who thinks it's healthy to cry.

I keep forgetting to take Vitamin D, but that, Vitamin B12, SAM-e, are all in my arsenal.

Thank you for corroborating here, it quells a large part of my anxiety to learn of others experiencing a transit at the moment. I will certainly heed your advice regarding Vitamin D deficiency, especially as we enter Spring.

If you don't mind sharing, what sign and house are your natal moon in? And what house does Cancer rule in your horoscope?

Thank you for sharing. Do you feel at long last something constructive came of the melancholia? I'm looking for the silver lining here!

Well, Saturn rules my 4th house. My MC is Cancer.

My Moon is in Sagittarius conjunct Jupiter.

At the moment, I'm trying to make my angles as precise as possible.. And, that would either put my Moon in the 2nd or 3rd.. Jupiter is in the 3rd.

I have to emphasize, that if possible, to actually get the bloodwork checked for it. Sunlight alone is sometimes not enough right away once you get deficient enough. There are some pretty natural supplements out there. It may not be the ideal way of getting it, but, you may have to make do for a short period of time.

Regardless.. I'm wishing you the best. this transit has definitely been crazy.

This transit started for me about a year ago.

I think a lot of what I've been experiencing has brought me to a point of desperation that has been pushing me to make some really big changes.

edit, sorry perhaps I'm still under the neptunian haze and I'll have to come back later if/when I'm feeling more clear headed to write about this transit..

You are definitely on the right track though about manifestation and synchronicity. As this transit progresses you'll likely be in awe of how real these underlying currents can really be. So yes choose the right people and energies to be around because you'll soak up your surroundings like a spounge.

Anyway in all honesty you seem miles ahead of where I was when I started this transit so I'm sure you'll do just fine

My Pisces ASC, my Virgo stellium, and my Gemini Moon/Mars have been and continue to be affected by Neptune.

I already had health issues before this transit, and they were made worse when Neptune was in my 12th house. To be honest, I would probably still be suffering if I didn't decide to be absolutely adamant about my health. I couldn't do that when Neptune was exact my ASC, though. It seems like the further it moves away, the clearer my mind gets and the more able I am to really take care of myself. In the midst of it, I cried a lot and didn't want to leave the house. (I'm a Gemini Moon and while that doesn't mean I'm not emotional in my own way, I usually bounce back a lot quicker.)

I second the empath tendencies. Neptune kind of "woke up" my Pisces ASC. I've also been feeling a lot more withdrawn and quiet - but it's a comfortable kind of quiet, like there's no need to fill silence with words. I'll be interested to see if that sticks around after Neptune moves on.

In my case, I already have Moon semi-square Neptune in my natal. I feel like this transit may kind of be highlighting that energy a bit along with everything else it has been possibly influencing.

It seems that transiting Neptune has a lot to do with minerals deficiency. I am currently going through tr. Neptune square Moon in Gemini and have recently been diagnosed with iron deficiency.
My cousin had this transit plus tr Neptune square Mars when she was diagnosed with tetany as a consequence of calcium deficiency.

Please dont quote;

ReadingTheStars95 and Xerxes I could have written what you wrote there. I went to my doctors complaining of pains that were quite random, like jaw pain etc that would go away and come back, also leg pains. My Doctor put it down to anxiety(it had increased recently but getting better again generally, though im still a bit worried about health stuff) as all my bloods came back normal, although my iron was on the lower end of normal. Anyway they recently found my Vit D is deficient and now im taking supplements. If I look back this only really got bad for me during the winter months. The foggyness only started the past few months, it's not consistantly foggy, just comes and goes.

The only silver lining that I can recall, was that I opened up and connected with people more. But that also opened me up to the negative side of connections, too. I had Chiron there at the same time, though - and life went to hell for other reasons. I had several big, not-so-great transits going on all at once. Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto, were all hitting me at the same time as Neptune and Chiron.

One thing I got involved in at the time, was a photographic scavenger hunt. I had fun with that, and it got my out of my head for a while. I haven't been an artist for years - not the sort I used to be - but I have my camera.

Transiting Neptune is making me more open as well, as it helps me to connect with others more easily.
From my experiences, Neptune’s fog will eventually lift, but this will normally happen with the last hit of the transit. I recently went through tr Neptune square MC and only at the very end of this transit did I realize what I really wanted in my life and what direction I wanted to give it. With transiting Neptune, you are supposed to get a greater clarity after the long period of confusion.
I am currently going through Neptune square natal Moon (3rd exact hit out of 5; the transit will be over at the end of this year) and I read on this forum that I should get deeper insights into what now seems to be confusing but only after the transit is over.

Neptune square Moon is not my only problem though. Unfortunately, just after this transit is over, I will have tr. Neptune opposite Ascendant and then tr. Neptune opposite Sun in the first house :/ . Neptune will leave my Sun alone in 2020 :/ Obviously, I cannot put my life on hold and wait these challenging transits out and will have to learn how to deal with them in the best possible way..

be careful with the sign of the planet that neptune touches

ie. neptune has been transiting over my natal saturn. like zero degrees. no lie.

saturn - traditionally it rules over capricorn and co-rules aquarius

rose tinted glasses have been up for alot of capricorns and aquarius in my life. actually scratch rose tinted glasses.. my eyes been ******* gauged out.

especially since natal saturn is in my 7th house - it was in a romantic sense. 3 heavy capricorn and aquarius guys played me. no joke. they had that in common.


guy 1 - sun aquarius, mercury/venus/mars capricorn
guy 2 - cap rising, moon aquarius, mars capricorn,
guy 3 - cap rising, sun/mars capricorn, moon/mercury jupiter AND WAIT FOR IT = venus in aquarius

so just pay attention to the planets it touches and if there are any combinations like those three above watch yourself
