Hi Moonbaby,
This is your thread, the one I'll be using to respond back to you. Go ahead and answer on what ever thread we're working on.

You've had an eventful 2-3 years with Saturn transits touching your Sun. Good news is its almost over. This is a karmic period for you.

Retrograde Uranus

(Mohan Koparkar)

The retrograde Uranus brings out the uranian qualities more significantly. Thus, unusual uniqueness, freedom of independence and inventive brilliance can be portrayed here. Attention-seeking mechanism works in this case by reverse process. The native may not seek publicity or any attention consciously. However, his actions, his attitudes and what he does not do bring a focus upon him. His eccentricity might be taken as a new approach or fashion of the time. Isolation, seclusion, independence and loneliness are all seen here with or without his choice. Social attitudes are much different from others, but he definitely needs to socialize with a unique class of people. Sometimes, it occurs so unexpectedly that he hardly has a choice to select his association. He is often categorized in a special classification by virtue of his behaior, attitude and personality. He will put up a fight for freedom and independence. However, after getting what he wants, he becomes restless because others diffuse away from him. Thus, independence is needed without isolation by his unique thinking. Innovative and inventive sides of his personality isolate him from a commoner. This creates a perfectionistic inventor. This challange to his own creation produces good results in the long run. General rebellious attitude, resentment towards conventionality and a sense of self-propelled destiny seen here. There are times he does not want to be unique, different and unusual. However, others place him in that classification. He cannot fight the social views or attitudes, eventually becoming what others thought he was. Many changes in friendships are seen in this case. His needs to experiment, involve and evolve, gather universal understanding, etc., are quite significant for this native. A search for a goal is always on without the goal really being known. An 'I will know it when I find it' attitude is seen regarding the classical rainbow of hopes in this case. He can be sympathetic but may not be sensitive. Regularity and punctuality occur with irregularity, giving others different opinions about himself. Humanitarian sense is within him, but it cannot be relied upon at all the times. Moodiness overtakes him instantly, making him a much different personality all of a sudden. Keeping an eye on the future gives him the confidence to go after things. However, he often neglects the present, which eventually changes his projected future.

As a result, his hopes, goals and wishes undergo modifications and even total reversals at times in the long run. Fluctuating mannerism, unpredictable and inconsistent responses, but generally exciting personality seen here. One shot deals are improtant, as the native does not care for repetition and monotony. General carefree attitude but a strong inner sense of goals seen here.

Retrograde Neptune

(Mohan Koparkar)

In retrograde situations Neptune's qualities are more diffused, foggy, and uncertain. Instinctions tend to cover a wider range than usual; but the focus might be less prominent. Idealism, vivid imagination adn day-dreaming can be seen in excess, creating stronger needs for escapement from everyday life. Falling in love with the idea of love becomes significant. However, the native receives substantial shock when he comes to mundane reality. the boundary between the real and the unreal worlds is quite thick, with a large region of uncertainties. Thus, the native is not confined to simple black-and-white situations, but he has to deal with substantial gray areas in between. This middle layer can be most unproductive in a normal isolative sense. However, when in connection with either reality or true fantasy, great productiveness can be possible. Procrastination at last-minute decision-making is seen here. Strong creative potential is seen in him, but he has to connect his creativity with either down-to-earth practicality or sheer out-of-this-world imagination. Fantasies can be very vivid, and he has difficulty coming back to reality. Regarding spirituality, he is not so certain or sold on the usual ideas. This uncertainty is caused by the people in his environment who proclaim the path of spirituality that does not sound reasonable to him. It is hard for him to find a good spiritual teacher. However, after several frustrations, he is ready to accept someone or many people as his spiritual guide.

His approach to true spirituality begins with deep material learnings. Thus, he evaluates his philosophical goals through the practical / material equations. He responds very unusually to confining situations. His first reaction is to fantasize and escape out of it; then bring that knowledge and procedure to work out his reality. Here the native enjoys isolation, loneliness, but not the circumstantial confinement. The sense of free spirit is important even though his feet might be tied down. The native has a distorted sense of services as viewed from his spouse. Clash of idealisms can be noticed in partnership areas, as the native often attracts people of much different goals compared to his own. It is also likely that htis individual changes the hopes and goals all of a sudden, bringing the clash as mentioned above. His instinct, gut feelings or psychic perceptions work very well for others, but he may not be able to count upon those instincts for himself. Wrong diagnosis, improper medication or abrupt reactions to drugs are likely in this case. Early morning dreams are most prominent here, and these can unfold various interesting areas around him with strange accuracy.

thank you lalalinda for taking time out to do my chart.

all the retrogade uranus characteristics ring true with me, and it is an issue i have now. the fact that I know my thoughts, ideas, concepts are often taken as weird and eccentric.
i dont like it being viewed as different. im thinking that I should keep my thoughts to myself because I am an all or nothing person, so editing myself wouldnt be a possibilty.
i am lucky to have people around me who think like me though....so maybe solely sharing with those who understand me as oppose to trying to converse with all and sundry is the way to go

im still working on it...i want to have peace of mind by the time im 25...

so when will it be over....?

i was recently reading up on my mecury opposing neptune and it seems to tie in with eccentricity of thoughts. i know I tend to 'speak my own language' most of the time becos i just cant structure my thoughts logically enough. i was wondering how different is neptune from uranus?

I believe Mercury goes direct Dec. 20
Mercury messes with everything, treat it like that fickle friend.(one you can't count on)

Mercury opposition Neptune (Robert Pelletier)

With Mercury opposition Neptune, you are imaginative and creative, and have high aspirations. However, you are easily distracted by people who challenge your efforts to express yourself. In competition, you may even begin to doubt your own abilities. You are naive in many instances and fall victim to the subversive tactics of competitors. Your dreams are unrealistic, and you are unable to accept the abrasions of your experiences with dignity. Defeat may cuas you to become paranoid, imagining conspiracies against you. Let others justify themselves to you, and learn to distinguish fact from fiction.

Your professional interests should be accomplished through self-employment. It is too risky for you to work or compete professionally with others. As a creative individual, you can find gainful employment in writing, art, music, or dancing, which do not necessarily involve working with others. Medical research is particularly appropriate for your talents. Also it would give you isolation from the destructive qualities you bring out in others.

With your appreciation of the finer things in life, you need to be free of artificiality in your way of life. You sometimes recoil from challenges because they would disturb the serenity you desire and find so difficult to achieve. You are easily threatened, and your self-confidence is undermined.

Your personal relationships are sure to be unusual because of the variety of individuals who interest you. A constant disbeliever, you are suspicious when anyone claims to love you. You alienate many possible romantic associations becaues you fear someone may be trying to take advantage of your weaknesses. You could deprive yourself of much happiness if you interpret innocent and sincere gestures as attempts to exploit you.

Make an honest effort to understand human nature, and be willing to make a sincere contribution in serving others.

hello Moonbaby,

We're working on Mercury right now, you have 4 trines to Mercury. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the N.N. and only one hard aspect and thats the opposition with Neptune.

Mercury square or opposition Neptune (Charles Carter)

This configuration usually indicates an astute and cunning type of person, capable of deep scheming and in fact hardly ever able to avoid some degree of deception, though not necessarily for evil purposes. Sometimes the deception is of a quite innocent order.

It is probable that this characteristic arises from the delicate perceptions of the aspects, which enable the native to divine what others will do or try to do. It is employed in this way in the more positive types of birth chart. In negative types, the same sensitiveness leads to a retired life, often combined with an amiable disposition.

Sometimes it leads to easy discouragement and lack of self-confidence, because the native is too thin-skinned and worries unduly. Sometimes the same sensitiveness causes fierce outbursts of resentful anger. Like all Neptunian aspects, it is not easy to say in what precise way the contact will manifest; much will depend on the rising sign. It is clear that lack of real self-confidence may easily induce a person to resort to deceit.

Active imagination and the insight into motives that results from sensitive perceptions may be invaluable to a man of genius or even a man of practical sense; but in the case of persons of weak judgement and understanding the same things may lead to all kinds of foolish and morbid fancies.
