What a Neptune square is

Disillusionment with the goals that got you here, followed by a more honest sense of meaning. Not a time for major financial bets.

from the Neptune square

It happens around 41. The exact dates depend on where Neptune was when you were born, which is why two people the same age can be a year apart in theirs. The app computes the start, exact and end dates for yours and puts them on your calendar.

What to do with it

The app writes guidance for every window it opens. For a Neptune square, which it reads as a demanding Neptune window, the guidance runs like this.

Do

• Get everything about the commitment in front of you in writing
• Ask a sober friend to check your read on the people involved
• Protect {body}: sleep, water, less alcohol

Avoid

• Signing, investing or committing in the part of life this touches on a hunch
• Reading low energy as a verdict on yourself

A practice

Before any decision in the part of life this touches, write the facts on one side and your hopes on the other. Act only on the first column until this window closes.

As it moves

• Opening. The fog rolls in: slow the decisions down.
• Peak. Confusion peaks: postpone what can be postponed.
• Closing. Things come back into focus: revisit what you assumed.

Did it land?

This is the part most astrology leaves out. revolutionary.life asks you to log your turning points, a job, a move, a relationship, a loss, and scores every window, including this one, against what actually happened: the share of events that fell inside a window against what chance would give. The number is shown whether it is good or bad.

Questions

When is my Neptune square?

Around 41, with the exact dates set by your birth chart. revolutionary.life computes the window (start, exact, end) from your birth date, time and place and adds it to your forecast and calendar.

How long does a Neptune square last?

The window opens when Neptune comes within about a degree and a half of the exact point and closes when it leaves, usually several months to a year or more for the slow planets, with one to three exact dates inside it because of retrograde motion.
