Earth to Neptune: There's a flood down here. 

There's only one thing that can kill a Neptunian spirit quicker than poison itself: reality. Neptunians dedicate so much of their time to trying to escape reality that they may as well turn their efforts into a full time job. This is because Neptune is not meant to come down to earth. Neptune is here to uplift the consciousness of the collective in order to teach true love and true harmony to earth's beings. However, earth's beings can be cruel, and to be fair, Neptune does not understand cruelty. Neptune is far too in the clouds to exert energy on being harsh towards others. But what happens when the cruelness of life on earth is felt so strongly that Neptune is forced to get its head out of the clouds? Quite a few things can occur. Let's explore!

The Rude Awakening:

During this phase, Neptunians are flooded with realities harsh enough to trigger hermit mode. (For those of you who do not know what hermit mode is, it's when a Neptunian isolates themselves from the world through prolonged seclusion. This often involves staying indoors, ignoring text/phone calls/ emails, sleeping all day, taking spontaneous trips/vacation with little to no notice beforehand, etc.) It is not uncommon for Neptunians to become suicidal during this period. There may be an intense emotional response to the sudden epiphanies, and it is likely that some acting out may occur. The best way to help a Neptunian through this period is to help them escape (to a healthy degree). This can be anything from, a convo so good you could get lost in it, to, watching a powerful movie that evokes strong emotion.

Fun Fact: Healthy forms of escape are necessary for the overall well being of a Neptunian. **

The Great Escape: 

I'm sure you all saw this one coming. That's right, it's time to get the fuck out of here. During this phase, Neptunians are planning their next disappearance.. I mean trip, back to outer space. Oh, wait. That's more so a Uranian thing. Oh well, you get my drift. Neptunians may as well be on the passenger side of a Uranian spacecraft anyway. These two would keep each other great company. Turns out that Uranus is a great companion for Neptune to do drugs, philosophize, and make plans to save the human race with. 

Kicked to the Curb: 

Unfortunately, there was only room for one in spacecraft 7. Turns out Uranus was fed up with all of his drugs going missing. Luckily, there's always a cloud to catch Neptune, only inches above the concrete. However, even a cloud is not soft enough to mask the pain of isolation and rejection. Unfortunately, most of society does not support avid drug use, excessive partying, sleeping around, skipping work, and dreaming the day away, all tactics used by heavily Neptunian natives in an attempt to escape reality. This rejection is often powerful enough to sober up the mentality of even the most delusional of Neptunians, often resulting in temporary conformity. 

Fun Fact: Though Neptunians cannot stomach the thought of hurting others, they can often hurt themselves by engaging in unhealthy, toxic, and even risky behaviors. 

Blending In:

At this stage, Neptunians find it difficult and even dangerous to truly act as themselves and attempt to blend in with societal norms. This process is often painful as Neptuninans begin to feel out of touch with their authentic selves.Thus, activating the victim complex. Neptuninas will often manage these disappointing emotions by convincing themselves that they are sacrificing themselves for the greater good. During this stage, Neptunians can find themselves being used and manipulated by others because they are at their most vulnerable. Neptunians can blend in to the point of invisibility, and this very passivity can lead these fishies into some troubled waters. 

Enlightenment: 

With all the let downs and heart break endured throughout the past 4 stages, it is easy for Neptunians to feel that they are too weak for this planet. It's easy to feel alienated, ostracized, victimized, and scapegoated with so much fragility and kindness being taken advantage of. However, this preparation is necessary for graduation day. There will come a day where there is an intuitive understanding of all the obstacles faced beforehand. At this point in time, no words will need to be exchanged. Silent smiles, a brief head nod, and a gentle sprinkle of raw emotion will immerse from the native, indicating that all is well and all is understood. During this phase, a Neptunian will awaken and understand their true purpose. This epiphany shall not harden them, turn them bitter, nor turn them suspicious. This epiphany will soften them, open them even wider, and unleash in them limitless possibilities. Because in reality, though Neptuninans are here to participate in the human experience, they are not meant to be attached to the outcome. Because the 12th house rules endings, and grandmother Neptune can peacefully finish her time on earth knowing that she's lived well.
