AND a lovely time to meditate.Įveryone: Neptune will turn direct again on December 3 meanwhile, the fog lifts. THAT is the time to make major decisions and move forward on projects which up till now may have seemed hesitant or uncertain in their progress. When Neptune is retrograde it is clear-headed, positive and certain about its course, all confusion gone. Neptune moves into retrograde every year for about 150 days this year it occurs on June 29 th. They travel around the sun in very elliptical orbits that bring them very close to the Sun, and then send them out past Neptune. Currently it’s in the sign of Pisces so wherever Pisces is in your chart is the area where Neptune is slowly transiting. The average distance between Neptune and the sun is nearly 2.8 billion miles (4. Neptune takes about 165 years to do a complete revolution around the Sun, thus spending about 14 years in each sign of the zodiac. Neptune's orbit is shaped roughly like an oval, with the planet taking about 165 years to complete a single circuit. Since more than half of us have this planet direct in our charts it behooves us to take full advantage during the times Neptune goes retrograde, both as a group called humanity and personally. When direct, Neptune CAN be the most insidious, confused, devious, negative planet in the zodiac. Of all of these, Neptune retrograde is the most spiritual expression of any planet. Also, as esoteric astrologers, we consider the retrograde expression of a planet far more spiritual than its direct counterpart. We call these the generational planets since they are not personal but affect whole generations. But a couple of slower-moving (relatively speaking) planets can offer interesting transit information. Progressions provide information about the temporary dynamics and energies impacting us as a kind of pattern which we can work with. It is 38.87 times bigger and 17.132 times more massive than the Earth.“Lift the veil that obscures the heart and there you will find what you are looking for.” KabirĪs esoteric astrologers we pay more attention to progressions than to transits since the speedier planets are here and gone so quickly that it matters little when we know we have lived many lives and will live many more. It’s atmosphere is dominantly hydrogen (80 per cent), with helium (19 per cent) and methane (1 per cent), and a very small admixture of other compounds. Neptune has 13 satellites, and a thin ring system that was discovered in 1984. The planet was discovered on Septemby Johann Galle and Heinrich d’Arrest from Berlin Observatory very near the predicted position, Devgun said. John Adams and Urbain Le Verrier carried out independent analysis of discrepancies in the observed and calculated positions of Uranus and predicted in 1845 the mass and orbit of the perturbing body. For the shortest distance of 2.7 billion miles, it takes 4.03 hours for light to reach from our planet to Neptune. If the average distance is 2.76 billion miles or 29.60 AU, then 29.6 multiplied by 499 gives 14,770 seconds or 4.10 hours. Unexplained deviations in the orbit of the planet Uranus, ever since its accidental discovery on Maby William Herschel, led astronomers to believe that there was some unknown body farther out. There is a slight variation in this time as the planets move around the Sun. Neptune is also the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by observation, C B Devgun of SPACE said. Neptune will be in opposition on August 22, 2011, which means it will rise around when the sun sets in the west and shall be up all night, he said. To watch the planet, see Capricornus and Aquarius constellations between the stars Delta Capricorni and Lambda Aquari to be precise, he said, adding, one needs a moderate sized telescope to view it. It takes approximately 58.6 days to complete a rotation about its axis, and about three months to do a complete revolution around the Sun.
