The Sun conjunct Neptune in Pisces
Through Early March -- to August ... and beyond
The Sun, as part of the New Moon / Solar Eclipse,
joined Neptune, the ruler of the sign in Pisces.
This aspect formed around 12°.

The theme of this pattern is
Powerful realignment with your creative center, spiritual beliefs and personal ideals ...
all designed to strengthen your most profound virtues and reveal your ideal self.

What's happening?
Sometimes when the Universe has something to say, it beats you over the head again and again to make sure you get the message. This looks like one of those times. As if the magic and power of the Pisces Eclipse itself (described to exhaustion here) weren't enough, the two most powerful elements in the personal sky were standing right next to the ruler of the Sign.
The Moon passed across Neptune a few hours later ... and now the Sun conjunction has arrived. Mercury makes the meeting early Saturday morning. Good Lord, but is this ever a statement literally written in the stars!!

The Sun -- Ruler of Leo -- Symbol of Your Essential Self ---> The Sun, without which life on Earth could not exist as we know it, is the astrological metaphor which symbolizes an individual's basic personality, the underlying canvas upon which all the other colors and elements of his character are co-mingled and combined.

Understanding the Sun in Pisces ---> Turning inward -- The Sun travels through the Astrology sign Pisces once a year, a trip that lasts about a month.
