The Horses of Neptune by Walter Crane
The astrological Neptune portrays a myriad of meanings from the dreamy depths of the watery unconscious, the longings of spiritual aspirations, the obsession of powerful desires to the revelation of the divine beloved. Some say it is where we seek the ineffable, or where, conversely, the ineffable seeks us. This planet also symbolizes a place of confusion and deception because Neptune is sometimes too intangible for the mundane world to decipher . . .
Astro-Flash: Neptune into Pisces is illusive, unconscious, ineffable. It represents a part of us that can never be defined. Neptune asks us to experience life without concrete boundaries, knowledge or proof. Sometimes Neptune can coincide with confusion . . .
And confusion gets a lot of bad press, right?
Aren’t we told to get clear, know our why, be aware of our unconscious motives, gremlins and tolerations?
Clarity is a great way to bring awareness into our lives but sometimes there is a better one: hanging out in ‘I don’t know.’ There is a role in deliberate creation for confusion, chaos, and lack of clarity and that role is inspiration. Creation. Artistry. Love.
The eighth century BCE Greek poet Hesiod said before any of the original deities, there was chaos. Ultimate confusion! All our creation myths, in all places in all cultures in all times, begin with chaos, darkness, water. The unknown. “In truth at first Chaos came to be . . . Hesiod
There is a archetypal metaphor here! To create something truly new, first there must be chaos. We have to go back to scratch, forget what we think, and what we think we think, and immerse!
Jeannette Maw puts it like this: ‘Sometimes reality is a handicap to vibrational alignment because what’s happening in our “real world” is very different from what we want to create.‘
Neptune is all things unworldly, without form, ideas that cannot be proven. In esoteric terms we say it represents what is behind the veil. This energy, this part of us, wants Bliss. Reunion with the divine. Merging with source.
Higher and lower Neptune - My friend Mystic Medusa talks about higher and lower Neptune, lower being escapism, addictions, fears, and phobias because we want something so far beyond the rational, mundane experience of life, something so rarefied and beautiful that we reach for anything that can ‘drown’ us in the feeling. Higher Neptune energy is more the expression of bliss, love and communion with all life. Source. An experience of source while in a physical body. Transcendence.
Neptune is bliss/confusion that doesn’t really function in the world of form because this energy is only interested in formless states of infinite possibility. Think of Deepak Chopra’s Discontinuity (the space or gap between our thoughts). That’s Neptune. By the time you get the message of Neptune, he’s already ‘gone’ because the getting is the realm of Saturn (the edifice of the ego). Neptune is outside that.
Neptune denies evidence. Neptune defies logic. Neptune simply believes - Joanne Wickenburg. This energy wants to dissolve overly rigid structures so that you can receive inspiration, communion, source energy. It is from a place of ‘uncertainty’ and allowing that creative originates!
Neptune into Pisces is a home coming for this planet. The sea god returns to his rightful realm. There is power there, and relief! Honour this transition. Allow yourself to get swept up into the bliss of the unknown. Welcome this ingress into Pisces like a Muse, a divine lover, the part of us that takes things on faith.
Neptune says stop thinking and dance!

Oh Kim the Horses of Neptune are perfectly inspiring! The words Sea God along with encouragement to float in the confusion, at peace with it, the space between thoughts, is so permissively fabulous. After all the hard work of discipline and destruction it is GOOD to pause and float in the aquamarine for a moment. I had wondered whether i should have a firmer idea of the reconstruction ahead… and that freezes me.
Blissful reminder! (A Piscean with multi Sag in both 12th house and rising… the horses flying out from the curl…thank you xxx)
You are most welcome, Milleunanotte. And, your summation inspires me!!! So well put.
And if a thought freezes you, by all means, let that thought go.

Love this Kimmy! The horses remind me of my beautiful white horse, I started riding while I still in nappies – trampolines were a great launching pad onto her bare back.
Interesting what you wrote about fears. I have been thinking a lot about my fears lately. I really liked your response to millie “And if a thought freezes you, by all means, let that thought go.”
Love it!
Also about bliss/confusion – I had a dream last night that I was on a boat, I was leaping into the water and back into the boat, simultaneously. Kind of confusing as to why I would do this but there was something calming about it, and it was really fun. Bliss even!
Thanks for the great post
Oh a rodeo cowboy dad. I love that! I rode my first horse at age two . . .I’m so with you there!
The dream is magnificent. To me I see you dipping into the the sea of the unconscious, immersing in the chaos of the collective well and bringing to light creative gems, over and over again – the life of an artist!
Wow Kimmy, that is truly a fabulous interpretation! Thanks so much xxx
Btw that is so awesome you were such a young rider too!!
Love your interpretation of neptune and neptune going into pisces…. Also love the Horses of Neptune by Crane… Have been tuning into the neptune vibe today, and feeling porous, spongelike and sensitive, choosing my thoughts and environment with love….
Sounds excellent, Plutonic Gem! I took hours off today and swam in a beautiful blue-green sea. I stayed out so long my fingers turned prunie! I was the only one on the beach.
Probably one of the best moments of my life!
Delightful
… I think it is one of the best past-times in the world!!!!
What an inspirational post Kim! I think it dissolves the pre conceived ideas I had of Neptune,that it’s all things foggy and confusion,delusion etc! I would never had thought of Neptune as a planet whose energies allow us “to be” in that state of not knowing what’s happening yet taking closer to your bliss…magical! and so timely for me! thank you!
Hi Carolina, that’s right, Neptune is a lot more than fog and confusion.
The energy this planet represents is ineffable, it’s out of the reach of the rational mind, so we don’t know how to talk about it . . . but through art, reverence, communion, song, appreciation, love, meditation, transcendence, enlightenment . . . that’s the Neptune sweet spot!
Essentially it is source energy. Our connection to all life, everything, everywhere, all the time . . .
Hi Kim,
Thankyou for explaining neptune so well. I have been trying to explain this transition to people but without much success as Neptune’s energy is hard to describe. may i ask you a question?
I feel i have low-vibed neptune for a lot of time he was in Aqua. In the last four years I have connected more with the High Vibe but still with low vibe hang ups :-/.
Very recently (within the last 2 weeks) a person who represents all that is high-vibe neptune has come into my life showing me my potential and mentoring/assisitng/lovingly uncovering a lot of things about myself which explained the low-vibe neptune behaviour. It scares me that ive made a connection like this but excites me deeply. Do you think an omen/sign/relationship like this is a grand Crescendo to the aqua/neptune era.. or an insight into my new Neptune/pisces era? I’m not really asking you to predicy my ‘relationship’ more I guess im trying to ask is what type of ‘things’ happen when a sign shifts.. and are they lasting and solid foundations or glimpses into yopur future self ..?
xx Gem
Hi Gem,
Good question. When outer planets shift signs we can see evidence of changes in society and the world at large. They reflect collective change. They can also reflect personal change especially when they move from one sector to the next or connect to a personal planet or point.
When someone new enters your life and gets your attention it’s a sign that something new has awakened in your inner world. Nothing ‘happens’ in the outer world that doesn’t first happen in you. It’s not so much your future self but you right now in this red hot moment. Like attracts like. If they are in your life it’s because they are a match.
Make sense?
