I recently graduated with an Educator's degree. I haven't found work yet. But I seem to be less interested in pursuing this profession tbh. My vigorous application to the posts decreased in April.

What is going on? I am not this directionless or lazy. But I still have no enthusiasm for the road chosen AT ALL.

So I thought that maybe this transit is about developing "intuitive" awareness? That makes sense. But what do I do in the meantime for money? Monks eat too. No?🤷🏿‍♂️

What you're experiencing may not be due primarily or entirely to the transit of Neptune square natal Jupiter. That transit is one of ideals, aspirations, idealism, fantasy, escapism, or belief in the seemingly impossible. It can also stimulate ideals of benevolence. It's associated with experiences like gambler's fever, delusions of grandeur, etc, depending on the natal position/condition of Jupiter.

It was a real passion. But something shifted recently. I have no idea whether I am feeling depressive or something? My enthusiasm has waned.

Not having that transit, but Neptune has been opposite my Mars for a bit now and what you describe is similar to how I have felt. As Neptune is moving away from it (or was at least), things got significantly clearer ands better! I know who I am and what I want more definitively now. At the same time Neptune has been opposed my Mars, it has been trining my Jupiter. So maybe that's why my personal beliefs and self belief is so heavily involved.

I think it clouds things so you are forced to look at what you likely were avoiding all this time. Is it possible education is not what your heart wants and this is to make you stop and take a look at what you truly want? What truly brings you joy?

---

This is my thinking too. This truly hits the spot.

The exploration of what brings me joy is difficult at this current state. Mentally I am exasperated. Just deflated.

On some days when I am positive,I do meditate on this issue. But I feel like the answer will not come when desperate. It'll come when I am least expecting it.

Jup-9th and ruling the 9th & 12th. The transit of Nep has me questioning my belief system. What do I believe in? Who do I think "God" is? Who have I been praying to? Have I been overestimating my capabilities? When will life come together for me?

Jupiter Cancer is my second house of earned income.

When Uranus was in the early degrees of Aries squaring my Jupiter, I basically had little interest in job/college and just wanted to do whatever I wanted. I was not ambitious at all.
Hmm maybe when I go through it I will have kids and they will be grown and I wont have an excuse to be a stay at home mommy anymore. LOL

I'm seeking isolation.Just feeling exasperated & sleepy all the time. It's definitely a wipeout.I feel like 'escaping' who I am (if only for a moment).

---

Yeah, that certainly sounds like Neptune. If I recall, you also have it closely conjunct Sun in Sag in your natal, correct?

The goal orientation it takes to complete a span of higher education and get your degree is quite different from what your internal purpose is. Neptune highlights this. It's not so much about a goal anymore. It's about what your ideals will be moving forward. That's a very subjective, psychological/spiritual process. Just let it happen while focusing on what it takes to bring your energy back up (work with the body).

Yes Kannon.🙏🏿 Sun conj Nep exact in Sag natally. It's not the best of times for me. I feel it on every level.And wish I could reach for a "reset" button.

The best of times (as is always the case with Neptune) are the wee late hours i.e after 10:00 pm. It's like those are the hours I can think the clearest 👌🏾

The good news is that there is a creative spark that has been ignited. So it's not all doom and gloom. I just feel like it's "irrelevant" to what I study. There is guilt that I am supposed to be looking for work. Not writing a novel🤷🏿‍♂️

But yes, you are right. It's best to work with my body during this transit and listen to it.

I would love to work out more often. But even that is so taxing to do. The best I can do is jump rope, a small jog and long walks. But not every day. Too much energy needed.

It's like the lights have been switched off whilst I am still in the room.And thus struggling to find the door.

It's the best awful at times. I pray I make it through sane. Neptune transits are (bar none) the worst for me when it comes to productivity.And perhaps (as you say) that's the point? The work is supposed to be internal? I am taking one day at a time. That's all I can do.

I've read your reply to Kannon. I think maybe don't fixate on your degree, on education. Even though it was a real passion for you, I'd say listen to yourself. If writing a novel is where your energies are at, do so! I understand it's not what you've planned, but hey, you didn't see this shift coming. Maybe you'll return some time to your original plan in a new way, and maybe not. The point is, it is for a reason you lack energy now: You DO have energy, but for something else. My opinion? Re-orient yourself. Perhaps also take some time to meditate. You don't have energy to work out? How about yoga? Let Neptune inspire you.

Strange how this period should happen in conjunction with my country's Covid crises and threats of looming variants of the pandemic. 🤔. Something good has to come out of all of this. It just has to.🙏🏿

I don't expect to say this with the Neptune-Jupiter combination, but it seems to be just as relevant to you now ...

Things are never what they appear to be with the hard Neptune transits. They're never as bad as they feel or look. So if you feel now is the time to write and be creative, just go with it. That doesn't necessarily mean anything negative for your career or work life. There is a time for everything. Everything has its season. And you know what -- most people don't value their creativity enough to give it a place in their lives. Maybe that's all this is for you for now. Just give your creative imagination a place in your life before it gets reset by job/career demands. Maybe that's all it is, a chance to commit to keeping your creativity alive so that it doesn't get smothered by impending job/career.
