I’m an Archetypal Astrologer. I apprenticed with Renn Butler. And Tarnas is a “father” of our lineage.

I have Saturn square Neptune in my natal chart, and the coming transit will occur in my natal 12 house. I have just committed myself to becoming a counsellor and I have always wanted to operate somewhere in the helping professions. As a child, I was known for asking my parents who God really was and enjoyed listening to mantras and doing meditation. This was welcomed in my family as my mother works as a psychic and psychotherapist and my parent are very spiritual. Today I offer birth chart readings to people and endeavour to make them feel deeply seen and known. I feel a calling to hold people in a safe space, and help people re-experience the felt presence of a higher power, it seems important for me to do healing work.
The Saturn Neptune tsunami happened (2004)and I had just joined Rotary. I never really gave too much thought to NGO’s before. I stayed up all nite watching the news and I thought how could I help these people. We raised funds the net day in the restaurant and people were throwing $$ at us. We raised about $2400! That evening I got on the RI website and found a Rotary member that flew directly to Sri Lanka. We picked out LOTSs of stuff and within 20 hours the supplies were ON THE GROUND! We were so excited with a video of the distribution of the life saving items and later found that even the military hadn’t arrived before our plane full. This changed me. I began doing clean water projects and each one gave me the greatest joy and profound satisfaction within my life. Not at all a bad transit for me personally. I found inspired work. I’m in Thailand now and the crazy thing is I will be heading to do more work on March 16! Finally got the Ok to enter the school/refugee camp! Thanks for this video Adam!❤️😁 also on my 2nd Saturn Return🙃
I was born a month after Kennedy was assassinated. I have Neptune on my mid heaven square Saturn in my 2nd house. I am a public health nurse working on behalf of women and babies. My duties run the gamut but I am primarily a counselor, helping my clients reach their life goals in the midst of poverty, injustice and disparity. I have struggled my whole life trying to turn my spiritual fantasies of a more compassionate world into some kind of reality. I often suffer profound depression because of the plight of my clients and the world at large. Joy is fleeting.
Beautiful talk. As a native of the saturn neptune conjunction in cap in ‘89…. I live for this topic. My natal mars cazimi the sun in Libra is square these two planets in my chart. This oughta do it: #grabbed I got in a life threatening car accident, where I almost didn’t make it out alive. Broken bones, emergency surgery, dislocated stuff, stitches of course, blood transfusions… truly horrific. The week before the accident, I had a very vivid dream, that a tsunami happened while I was at the beach and I could do nothing but look up and watch it crash over me. I survived in the dream and woke up, and told only one friend- who just so happened to be taking a dream interpretation course. An important detail to share, is that I had a drinking problem at the time. So after I told him my dream, this friend said to me “because the ocean in dreams usually symbolises alcohol or drinking problems, I’d say that that dream might mean something really bad is going to happen to you because of your drinking. But you survived in the dream, so you’ll be alright”. I was. Since then I have struggled profoundly with my faith, going from disowning it completely to being 100% devoted. My understandings of what god is have changed many many times over my life and may never remain the same, but tragic faith is always a huge part of my identity.
Adam, this hit me! I was born with Saturn opposite Neptune. It’s a difficult aspect but I have learned to overcome it over the years. When I think things lighten up, something happens. But afterwards it passes. Just learn from the experience and continue on. Also, I have always related to John Lennon’s song, Imagine. Now I know why lol 😂 Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you, Adam. I appreciate you so much. Signposts along the way........ I don't think your story at the end was stupid at all. I was listening to a Lex Fridman episode yesterday, and he ended his podcast with this little story that he was in Walmart and an older lady complimented on how nice he looked in a suit and tie. It touched his heart so much as he didn't recall ever hearing a kind word towards him. That small little act of kindness was the reason why he decided to move to the state he now resides in, where that encounter took place. So your story was confirmation and a reminder for me to always try to be kind in thought, word or deed.
Also, your closing story was so touching and I've felt that and similar situations so often in my life. Not to get too personal but I feel like you must have a prominent placement in Cancer...I certainly do. Solidarity!
Beautiful reading and reflection today. Thank you Adam. I’m just reflecting on what a Cancer friend and a Pisces Aunt have both spontaneously commented on in just the last couple of days, that the news is just so horrible of late (The Ukraine war, climate disasters one after another, Putin making not so veiled nuclear threats, the 45,000 lives lost in the earthquake in Turkey, and the seeming evaporation of rational, sober, cooperative politics). I will hold your words close: everyday acts of kindness and aid mean as much or more than grand heroic gestures. I’ve just wrapped up my dark night of the soul over the last 6 years and, just as you said, it’s was crushing experience that brought me through to a deeper more real spiritual beginning… that, astology and this non-believing Cancer friend and a couple others that got me through. Now it’s my turn to be there for her and a couple other friends entering periods of terrible challenge. Saturn Neptune are in my 5th house!
I have Saturn trine Neptune in my natal. Life has been rough! Lessons galore, and quite often, a sense of disconnect, or separateness from others and life, like watching through a glass darkly. I think I just now really understood that concept.
It looks like we are going to be getting more atmospheric rivers - definitely fit with this transit. And, here we go again in DC trying to repair serious division and destruction. Feeling like we better rest up and be ready for a period of doubling down with help on what really matters. Beautiful passage from Tarnas - wow. Thank you Adam.
“I wanna let the master say it!!” HolyYaasss!!! Omg’s! Thank You! You’re so cool!! I appreciate that you said that!! Give props!! I do love how you very do often do that!! Respect, Adam! Site the source! Lift up the community! Give the credit! Sweet! 🙏💖
Thank you Adam. You’ve offered another valuable pivot point for personal insight and culmination of ideas. And it’s a great reminder for me to return to Tarnas’ book, as I read the first 100 or so pages and took a pause to assimilate all his historical connections and potent prose. Pisces is in my 9th house, and I’m seeing how this fits given the previous run of years in a sort of experiential preparation. It fits well with Jupiter and Mars within 2 degrees of each other in my 10th (Aries). Both squaring Saturn in my first. And in a grand trine with Venus & moon in Leo and Neptune in Sagittarius. From these aspects I’m feeling a heightened sense of diplomacy and compassioned balance between so many human-themed extremes that I’ve been initiated thoroughly into these past couple decades and especially the past 15 years. But not merely at a diplomacy in platitudes or empathic psychoemotional level either. I’m recognizing how aware I am of the solutions in a practical sense, as well as many details in how to create these solutions. For myself in this journey, it’s time. Thanks again Adam.
@@somenightsun Thank you. 😌 I just posted a video on my channel here, offering a discussion that highlights Adams points in reference to these themes, within a couple of different cultural and healing perspectives.
Adam, you are so beautiful... this made me almost cry, choked it back... not from a personal pain but from your obvious care and deep feeling that came at the end. Thank you friend.
"Sustain faith and hope in the darkness." Yes, indeed. As I shuffled my rws tarot deck this morning, the Eight of Swords, The World and The Hanged Man flipped over. I looked up when Jupiter would be in Gemini, and when the Saturn Neptune conjunction would be...and then found your video, all as I am finally getting ready to read Cosmos and Psyche, lol. There are no coincidences and I love it. Thanks so much for this video!
As one of those born in 52-53 when Saturn and Neptune were conjoined in Libra, I can attest to the accuracy of Tarnas’ description; that is, a “critical attitudes towards conventional philosophical and religious beliefs.”
Thanks for this insight. It feels true that we go through events in our collective, but we don't know how the events will impact us mentally and spiritually. But they show up eventually over time and we do have to help each other in these moments. I've been playing the heroic calm stoic and I realised this isn't an ideal, I've discovered that I have left myself no space for mental and emotional processing and now as I make space and allow myself compassion, I find myself in (sometimes) alarming moments of numb apathy, despair and discontent. It feels necessary, more than ever to create the space for compassionate listening, not just of others but of ourselves on a deeper level. Create space, listen to your community, feel your way into your collective part of humanity. Make space for yourself deep, inward connection to our own hearts. 🙏
This may come across as a superficial Saturn-Neptune experience, but I'll share it anyway. In my small house, the local space lines of Saturn and Neptune are adjacent and close together in my bedroom. The Saturn line passes by one side of my bed, and the Neptune line passes by the other side of the bed. When I need a really deep sleep and healing dreams I sleep on the Neptune side. When I want to feel more ambitious and/or grounded I sleep on the Saturn side, though my sleep on the Saturn side is not a quality sleep and I wake up feeling stiff. Most of the time I sleep in the middle of the bed where my sleep is a blend of Saturn and Neptune.
A more hopeful sign of this co-presence, this time round, is UN High Seas Treaty that has been reached after 10 years of negotiations, to protect the worlds oceans.
That’s so funny because moments before you ended with your memory of giving your neighbor the television, I had noticed the one in the corner and was wondering if you watch it and whether you watched movies on it or just had it for meditation music etc… hahaha different timeline, but it was almost like you were answering my question with the synchronicity of it all. Hope you’re doing well, thank you 🕊️🙏🏼🕊️
I am born with Saturn trine Neptune and have to contemplate how this plays out in my life. But I remember it as today, the horror of the 1989 Revolution in my country of origin. Not because it was so violent or so...but because it destroyed my safe life. Nothing was predictible since than. People who lived peacefuly with each other most of the time, became suddenly very foreign...everybody for himself...who can steal the bigger portion of the cake in the chaos. Just a thought of it makes me feel sick...but I feel we are getting to the same point. Just this time it feels much more ominous to me. The end of the cycle, the end of religion...lost faith...well we better pray well.
I have a grandbaby due in a week or two. I have Saturn in Pisces from ‘67. I think we are going to be good friends ;) but yes, I have been so curious as to how these signatures will present. Momma says he is very active and kicks a lot. He might make it to Aries sun ☀️ lol
With Neptune conjunct my natal Sun over the last several years (and has many miles to go hitting my MC & Mercury & Moon & NN 😂). I feel the foggy dew is clearing, even though it’s still messy- I see, hear, feel, smell the birthing pains of anew. Finally about to ‘start’ your year one intro class today! I’ve been listening to the three readings I’ve had with you, Adam. Each time I write notes and sit back in amazement and say ‘well it certainly wasn’t what we were expecting during our meetings but you sure as shit told me ‘do not bang yourself up against the wall for a baby until after March 2023.’ I’m not pregnant, yet) but, the surgery I envisioned during a reiki session in 2019 of my POV having a exploratory lap looking for sources of infertility because my reality last week. I even told my anesthesia team about my experience in 2019 and knew I’d eventually need a exploratory lap before I could get pregnant. This was the first time I said it outloud to a stranger/colleague who I had worked with prior to leaving the hospital after foot & back injury in 2018. I am falling more inlove with my unique story of how I got here with my breast implants rupturing and my mother going through cancer chemo & rad… it’s been a confusing journey, heartbreaking at times. Neptune is helping my Sun sit back up straight now. But basically, ….Neptune has been the sloppy drunk frat kids down in a dungeon basement party with sticky floors from spilled beer and vomit. & you’re the only sober one who isn’t having fun anymore and needs to exit stage left 😂. Anyways. I should get back to the gym, too. You suggested Bickram for my Aries Venus 🌊🔥
So excited for your take on this I have Saturn conjunction with Neptune in natal chart and it opposes my cancer sun , moon , Jupiter . Somewhat loses but such a defining placement for me with Aquarius rising! I really go back and forth about with these oppositions haha.
#grabbed Intuitively and from my own firsthand perspective, Saturn becoming co-present with Neptune feels a bit like a tsunami after an earthquake or fallout after an explosion. I’ve spoken a lot with friends and colleagues regarding the aftershocks/waves/fallout of the pandemic - perhaps a bit of “reckoning” alongside integration of collective grief. I feel a bit as though I’m emerging from my own “dark spiritual night,” which I’m hoping will put me in a place of greater compassion, empathy, and strength in the work I do. Trite, but when the going gets tough, the tough get going. 💪🏻 Rebuild and *maintain* the levees.
Thank you! So helpful. Looking forward to more. I've been following Tarnas for a long time. Thanks for bringing Cosmos & Psyche forward and for your explication. I'm really grateful for your reminder that I can go back and resource all the work Tarnas has done to help us through the experience of those two in relationship. Five years! Yikes. I'm Capricorn sun plus 4 more planets there.
I have saturn and Neptune conjunct in Capricorn in my birth chart. And what does a fish think about the water it swims in? I have no idea, lol Really though, the dissolution of structures in life seems totally normal to me. I'm not surprised when the norms fall apart on a personal level to a societal level. I struggle with despair if I let it come in to me. Yet when something 'bad' happens I have no doubt there is something new to grow from it. I've realized saturn holds the boundaries of who we are and our ideas of "should be" in the world. And the themes of saturn and Neptune break these so that we realize we are not moored to any dock of "should be" in this great ocean. You can try and learn to sail in these waters or not. Thats what I think at least 🤷♂️
We flew to South Florida Tuesday to celebrate our 25th and dance with our fave band (Donna the Buffalo). The main aqueduct supplying the Keys broke and there is no water from Key Largo to Key West 😂 #grabbed
I have Saturn Neptune copresent in my 1st house and Neptune conjuct my capricorn ascendant. My life up untill 28 has been a struggle. Very sad. Bad childhood. Bad luck in general with life it seems. But my compassion and nurture I have now is insane. This second part my life is all focused on healing and sharing my path collectively how to seek light in the darkness.
PS. I went BACK to a JOB I returned repeating A former thing that I had SWORE I WOULD NEVER 😮 DO 🙏❤️And I started having a up lifting state of BEING- NESS😊
As a Neptune in Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces also currently experiencing neptune transiting over my natal Saturn also in a year or so Saturn return in Pisces this is very useful, thank you. Ps: saturn is my 7th ruler and on my MC
Thank you Adam! I was looking at the New Moon in Aries that's coming up. I've heard people refer to it as the ultimate Aries New Moon but with Mars in Cancer...I really don't see it that way at all.
I was born 1971 and I have Saturn Neptune opposition falling on my natal Mc Ic axis, Saturn on my Ic in Gemini 2 in my 6th house. I was born in north so that’s why the strange house positions for Mc/Ic. I will get an exact square from transiting Saturn to my natal Saturn/Neptune -opposition in the end of march. Saturn is my Asc lord, I’m a Cap Asc. I feel like my life hasn’t ever been quite in my own hands. If I’ve tried to plan ahead or take a decisive action, life has given me a “NO” and another direction. Don’t take me wrong, I’m happy and I have a lot to be thankful, but my path has been weird and somehow out of my hands.
I think since 2020 we've already headed in to this combination. My Venus and Neptune are both at 11 degrees in Scorpio so they are ostensibly the same person however I have learned to cope with deep emotions as a result. I feel prepared for this period. Also we've had way more flooding and rain this year on the West Coast. Our local town of Felton is flooding as I write this. The year of the Water Rabbit also seems to be coming true. I personally have turned to studying Rudolph Steiner and Anthroposophy with Douglas and Tyla Gabriel as they talk about Ascension and how we seem to be moving into that at this time. I enjoy your Astrology Adam, thank you!
Did you mention Vipassana? I just came out of a ten day retreat and during I was wondering if you had done it etc. Mad! I was also considering how prepped I am on anicca from astrology ❤️
My chart contains Saturn/Kassandra/Neptune in my first house within 9 minutes total. Exactly Square Sun/Mars/Uranus in 10th within a degree. I believe I could write a book on Saturn/Neptune. “Magnanimous” if I boiled it down to one word.
Thanks Adam I was born under the 53 conjunction in my second house. I grew up in a religious family who were very hypocritical to the teachings (due to substance abuse/mental illness) creating confusion & angst. Suffice to say I sought out others avenues of spirituality. Fear of scarcity was also prominent.
Come under my bed with me, we will both be safe there. My IC, my Saturn, and your sun. And since we have the company of Neptune as well-lots of wine. 🍷
Adam: I have followed your channel for a few years and noticed that talking about this transit deeply affected you emotionally. I wonder if you had some sort of intuition as you were preparing and meditating recently? As a psychic channel, the most common intuition I’ve had over the last two years has been another “great flood.” It’s a relentless intuition that comes through during meditation regularly. Just offering comfort if you just intuited it for the first time.
Interesting... In Austria, there have just been news stories about the unavailability of important medicines like antibiotics, also lack of childrens doctors, and staff shortage in hospitals... 😮
Seems like the Saturn & Neptune in Pisces, will not go well for us! But will be a deep journey in understanding truth vs. blind reality and collective work for healing after really being shook. Thank you Adam !
Watching with interest. My Saturn? 29*50 Pisces. My IC? 1*13 Aries. Pluto / Uranus Conjunction in Virgo. Pisces Stellium. LOVE Tarnas, re-reading Cosmos & Psyche right now-looking for what’s coming at me-and all of us. Psst: Fellow early Gen-Xers, there’s room for you too under my bed, and I got crackers & wine.
I will have my first Saturn return its at 5° Aries. I have Neptune exact conjunct Moon and ASC at 27° Capricorn and also Neptune trines my Mars-Mercury at 24°Taurus (Mars is the ruler of the house Saturn is in). I have a strong Saturn- Neptune connection.. I don't know where to begin to explain this express in my life
Natal 9th house Saturn retrograde in early Pisces. As of yesterday, my 2nd Saturn return is a fact, with Neptune at home at the party. Saturn/Pisces energy in the house of belief. For me it's always been vague. Growing up there was a lot of exploration of various forms of religion by my parents who were obviously looking for something meaningful to add to their kids' upbringing but could never actually find something they were comfortable with (?) I was given “a little bit of everything” with a Catholic convent elementary school education while they were at it. Needless to say, all I learned was that all these religions look pretty much alike with the usual “love thy neighbour as thyself” stuff. At that age the actual differences didn’t interest me. I remember feeling very confused about which form of religion to actually follow because the need for one was obviously extremely important. Not having one would make me a sinner of the worst kind and I would definitely go to hell. Over the years I have gradually allowed myself to let organized religion go because secretly I never felt it made sense to me. I never saw myself as a bad person who deserved hell. If we all basically had the same values why is there so much hatred in the world? No tolerance? No trust? We are, after all, all the same. Why the walls and boundaries? A lot did not make sense to me. For years now I have been absolutely fascinated with astrology. At the back of my mind, I am always wondering to what extent it has become my “religion”. Am I being as dogmatic and blind as so many religious fanatics out there? So basically I have a deep-rooted distrust of anything that is group-belief-religion oriented. Although I do not classify astrology as a belief. However, a lot of people out there do. I think this will be a period of intense soul-searching about my own spiritual compass and path and how I express what makes sense and what matters to me in an authentic way without alienating people. I have Chiron here too in an exact Grand Water Trine with natal Sun and natal Neptune. I feel I need to do something with that. When the student is ready the teacher appears. I wonder what this 2nd Saturn return will bring.
Find your rising sign (use like astrodienst to get your chart) then what ever sign that is is considered your first house. Then begin to count counter clockwise until you get to Pisces. Then thats the house! Plenty of stuff online about finding it too.
During Dec 26, 2004 tsunami Saturn was at 25 of Cancer and Neptune at 13 of Aquarius, so what Saturn/Neptune aspect are you referring to in this case ?
That tsunami was in my country. By the way... In 2021 Biden said Jakarta (capital city Indonesia) may sink. And now a new capital (which in Borneo Island) is under contruction. Do I really need to move. IYKYK.
@@Adam-Elenbaas yes you are right about that. Just want to add that they are in the same sign and also has the same declination in May 2025 and February 2026. Their declination is varying from March up to when the orb widens. I don't know if other astrologers care about declination. Thanks for the insights.
I never lost my faith and was never disillusioned in what I'm studying my universal higher power. I lost my faith in the Catholic Church my government and my community because none of you stepped up to help when my whole family was missing and murdered Saint Leo's parish never came to check on me or my children ever. I'm Roxanne Lodise. My higher power is still here. Sorry but God never answered my prayers for 50 years. The UNIVERSE did.
I don’t like the group think of the MAGA crowd or the narrow fundamentalism of some in the Christian community, I’m a big fan of Thich Nhat Hanh I firmly embrace astrology as an ancient wisdom and I’m awed by CGJung, All that being said - Tarnas constantly injects his left wing , non unifying messages in the mix as well. is sad because he is a genius, but is still part of the divisions that are tearing our society apart.
I’m an Archetypal Astrologer. I apprenticed with Renn Butler. And Tarnas is a “father” of our lineage. The fact you were going to cover cosmos and psyche caught my eye while I was at the gym so I decided to tune in.
This was so beautiful. The last but moved me to tears. Thank you for this gorgeous transmission of faith and hope😊

I was born a month after Kennedy was assassinated. I have Neptune on my mid heaven square Saturn in my 2nd house. I am a public health nurse working on behalf of women and babies. My duties run the gamut but I am primarily a counselor, helping my clients reach their life goals in the midst of poverty, injustice and disparity. I have struggled my whole life trying to turn my spiritual fantasies of a more compassionate world into some kind of reality.

I know this isn't true in astrology, but in a personal level, I always see and experience Neptune as a malefic.

I've been playing the heroic calm stoic and I realised this isn't an ideal, I've discovered that I have left myself no space for mental and emotional processing and now as I make space and allow myself compassion, I find myself in (sometimes) alarming moments of numb apathy, despair and discontent. It feels necessary, more than ever to create the space for compassionate listening, not just of others but of ourselves on a deeper level. Create space, listen to your community, feel your way into your collective part of humanity. Make space for yourself deep, inward connection to our own hearts. 🙏
This may come across as a superficial Saturn-Neptune experience, but I'll share it anyway. In my small house, the local space lines of Saturn and Neptune are adjacent and close together in my bedroom. The Saturn line passes by one side of my bed, and the Neptune line passes by the other side of the bed. When I need a really deep sleep and healing dreams I sleep on the Neptune side. When I want to feel more ambitious and/or grounded I sleep on the Saturn side, though my sleep on the Saturn side is not a quality sleep and I wake up feeling stiff. Most of the time I sleep in the middle of the bed where my sleep is a blend of Saturn and Neptune.
Must ask how you place your chart to overlap your home. Thank you
Yes. I think its important to create strong structures within... because those external might be broken or flooded like you said 🤍
My natal Saturn and Neptune placements are in mutual reception and in sextile to one another, so I appreciate this information a lot 🧐
My Saturn is in Pisces.
A more hopeful sign of this co-presence, this time round, is UN High Seas Treaty that has been reached after 10 years of negotiations, to protect the worlds oceans.
Adam your doing a stellar job. Love Rick Tarnas work.
That’s so funny because moments before you ended with your memory of giving your neighbor the television, I had noticed the one in the corner and was wondering if you watch it and whether you watched movies on it or just had it for meditation music etc… hahaha different timeline, but it was almost like you were answering my question with the synchronicity of it all. Hope you’re doing well, thank you 🕊️🙏🏼🕊️
I am born with Saturn trine Neptune and have to contemplate how this plays out in my life. But I remember it as today, the horror of the 1989 Revolution in my country of origin. Not because it was so violent or so...but because it destroyed my safe life. Nothing was predictible since than. People who lived peacefuly with each other most of the time, became suddenly very foreign...everybody for himself...who can steal the bigger portion of the cake in the chaos. Just a thought of it makes me feel sick...but I feel we are getting to the same point. Just this time it feels much more ominous to me. The end of the cycle, the end of religion...lost faith...well we better pray well.
❤ Lovely story at the end ❤ the true feeling of being human. What can I do to help another?
Happy First day of Saturn Neptune Era! 🌿🤍🌿
So glad to have discovered you. The reading was truly brilliant, and your deep felt example at the end was truly helpful.
I wonder what kind of children/ people will come from this alignment. Who will they be?
I have a grandbaby due in a week or two. I have Saturn in Pisces from ‘67. I think we are going to be good friends ;) but yes, I have been so curious as to how these signatures will present. Momma says he is very active and kicks a lot. He might make it to Aries sun ☀️ lol
With Neptune conjunct my natal Sun over the last several years (and has many miles to go hitting my MC & Mercury & Moon & NN 😂). I feel the foggy dew is clearing, even though it’s still messy- I see, hear, feel, smell the birthing pains of anew. Finally about to ‘start’ your year one intro class today!
I’ve been listening to the three readings I’ve had with you, Adam. Each time I write notes and sit back in amazement and say ‘well it certainly wasn’t what we were expecting during our meetings but you sure as shit told me ‘do not bang yourself up against the wall for a baby until after March 2023.’ I’m not pregnant, yet) but, the surgery I envisioned during a reiki session in 2019 of my POV having a exploratory lap looking for sources of infertility because my reality last week. I even told my anesthesia team about my experience in 2019 and knew I’d eventually need a exploratory lap before I could get pregnant. This was the first time I said it outloud to a stranger/colleague who I had worked with prior to leaving the hospital after foot & back injury in 2018.
I am falling more inlove with my unique story of how I got here with my breast implants rupturing and my mother going through cancer chemo & rad… it’s been a confusing journey, heartbreaking at times. Neptune is helping my Sun sit back up straight now. But basically,
….Neptune has been the sloppy drunk frat kids down in a dungeon basement party with sticky floors from spilled beer and vomit. & you’re the only sober one who isn’t having fun anymore and needs to exit stage left 😂. Anyways. I should get back to the gym, too. You suggested Bickram for my Aries Venus 🌊🔥
Thank You for the Exciting Information ❤
Thank you. This video is exactly why I love your content. This is perfect and beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you
So excited for your take on this I have Saturn conjunction with Neptune in natal chart and it opposes my cancer sun , moon , Jupiter . Somewhat loses but such a defining placement for me with Aquarius rising! I really go back and forth about with these oppositions haha.
#grabbed Intuitively and from my own firsthand perspective, Saturn becoming co-present with Neptune feels a bit like a tsunami after an earthquake or fallout after an explosion. I’ve spoken a lot with friends and colleagues regarding the aftershocks/waves/fallout of the pandemic - perhaps a bit of “reckoning” alongside integration of collective grief. I feel a bit as though I’m emerging from my own “dark spiritual night,” which I’m hoping will put me in a place of greater compassion, empathy, and strength in the work I do. Trite, but when the going gets tough, the tough get going. 💪🏻 Rebuild and *maintain* the levees.
Thank you! So helpful. Looking forward to more. I've been following Tarnas for a long time. Thanks for bringing Cosmos & Psyche forward and for your explication. I'm really grateful for your reminder that I can go back and resource all the work Tarnas has done to help us through the experience of those two in relationship. Five years! Yikes. I'm Capricorn sun plus 4 more planets there.
I have saturn and Neptune conjunct in Capricorn in my birth chart. And what does a fish think about the water it swims in? I have no idea, lol
Really though, the dissolution of structures in life seems totally normal to me. I'm not surprised when the norms fall apart on a personal level to a societal level. I struggle with despair if I let it come in to me. Yet when something 'bad' happens I have no doubt there is something new to grow from it.
I've realized saturn holds the boundaries of who we are and our ideas of "should be" in the world. And the themes of saturn and Neptune break these so that we realize we are not moored to any dock of "should be" in this great ocean. You can try and learn to sail in these waters or not. Thats what I think at least 🤷♂️
Wonderful video, thank you!
We flew to South Florida Tuesday to celebrate our 25th and dance with our fave band (Donna the Buffalo). The main aqueduct supplying the Keys broke and there is no water from Key Largo to Key West 😂
#grabbed
Thank you 🙏
I have Saturn Neptune copresent in my 1st house and Neptune conjuct my capricorn ascendant.
My life up untill 28 has been a struggle. Very sad. Bad childhood. Bad luck in general with life it seems. But my compassion and nurture I have now is insane. This second part my life is all focused on healing and sharing my path collectively how to seek light in the darkness.
Adam I don't mind it, we take the dark w/ the light.
Ty Adam, I find Saturn/Neptune dynamic fascinating!
Beautiful 💜
Neptune has been opposing my natal saturn for some time now... Tarnas' words fit hauntingly accurate to my experience.
Interesting.. Could definitely see the potential towards these attributes developing.
Gosh, this was awesome! Thank you❣️😊
Wow! I am seeing number combo's watching this.😊
PS. I went BACK to a JOB
I returned repeating A former thing that I had SWORE I WOULD NEVER 😮 DO 🙏❤️And I started having a up lifting state of BEING- NESS😊
Would this conjunction be negative for persons whose sun is in late Pisces, or early Aries?
As a Neptune in Capricorn and Saturn in Pisces also currently experiencing neptune transiting over my natal Saturn also in a year or so Saturn return in Pisces this is very useful, thank you.
Ps: saturn is my 7th ruler and on my MC
Just coming out of my Saturn return in my 12th house and this is happening in my first house. Uhhh I just can't get a break from intensity 😮💨
Thank you Adam! I was looking at the New Moon in Aries that's coming up. I've heard people refer to it as the ultimate Aries New Moon but with Mars in Cancer...I really don't see it that way at all.
I was born 1971 and I have Saturn Neptune opposition falling on my natal Mc Ic axis, Saturn on my Ic in Gemini 2 in my 6th house. I was born in north so that’s why the strange house positions for Mc/Ic. I will get an exact square from transiting Saturn to my natal Saturn/Neptune -opposition in the end of march. Saturn is my Asc lord, I’m a Cap Asc. I feel like my life hasn’t ever been quite in my own hands. If I’ve tried to plan ahead or take a decisive action, life has given me a “NO” and another direction. Don’t take me wrong, I’m happy and I have a lot to be thankful, but my path has been weird and somehow out of my hands.
I'have de same opposition, me in XII (saturn) and VIth house (Neptune) and approximativly thé same sensation
nice ty
I think since 2020 we've already headed in to this combination. My Venus and Neptune are both at 11 degrees in Scorpio so they are ostensibly the same person however I have learned to cope with deep emotions as a result. I feel prepared for this period. Also we've had way more flooding and rain this year on the West Coast. Our local town of Felton is flooding as I write this. The year of the Water Rabbit also seems to be coming true. I personally have turned to studying Rudolph Steiner and Anthroposophy with Douglas and Tyla Gabriel as they talk about Ascension and how we seem to be moving into that at this time. I enjoy your Astrology Adam, thank you!
Did you mention Vipassana? I just came out of a ten day retreat and during I was wondering if you had done it etc. Mad!
I was also considering how prepped I am on anicca from astrology ❤️
My chart contains Saturn/Kassandra/Neptune in my first house within 9 minutes total. Exactly Square Sun/Mars/Uranus in 10th within a degree. I believe I could write a book on Saturn/Neptune. “Magnanimous” if I boiled it down to one word.
Thanks Adam I was born under the 53 conjunction in my second house. I grew up in a religious family who were very hypocritical to the teachings (due to substance abuse/mental illness) creating confusion & angst. Suffice to say I sought out others avenues of spirituality. Fear of scarcity was also prominent.
somebody passes the bottle please...
Great video, Adam.
saturn/neptune will be in my 5th house of pisces for 5 years next to my natal venus....lol. ok i guess i'll get used to this.
🧜🙏🧜♂️✨️ Its the grand ill ushion 😶🌫️💖♻️
I have my Sun in 1 degree of Aries, 3rd house. Should I worry?
Come under my bed with me, we will both be safe there. My IC, my Saturn, and your sun. And since we have the company of Neptune as well-lots of wine. 🍷
Adam: I have followed your channel for a few years and noticed that talking about this transit deeply affected you emotionally. I wonder if you had some sort of intuition as you were preparing and meditating recently? As a psychic channel, the most common intuition I’ve had over the last two years has been another “great flood.” It’s a relentless intuition that comes through during meditation regularly. Just offering comfort if you just intuited it for the first time.
Born with Saturn Neptune conjunct partile in the 9 th house.(retrograde). Feels like a lifelong search for the “ Guru”
My Saturn in Capricorn 1 st sextile Neptune scropio 11th saggy raising.. ♓ Sun..not too bad
Interesting... In Austria, there have just been news stories about the unavailability of important medicines like antibiotics, also lack of childrens doctors, and staff shortage in hospitals... 😮
well, what would be a positive outlook for a Saturn-Neptune alignment? Enlightened, but deeply rooted visioning? Wise outreach to others?
Seems like the Saturn & Neptune in Pisces, will not go well for us! But will be a deep journey in understanding truth vs. blind reality and collective work for healing after really being shook. Thank you Adam !
Watching with interest.
My Saturn? 29*50 Pisces. My IC? 1*13 Aries.
Pluto / Uranus Conjunction in Virgo.
Pisces Stellium.
LOVE Tarnas, re-reading Cosmos & Psyche right now-looking for what’s coming at me-and all of us.
Psst: Fellow early Gen-Xers, there’s room for you too under my bed, and I got crackers & wine.
I will have my first Saturn return its at 5° Aries. I have Neptune exact conjunct Moon and ASC at 27° Capricorn and also Neptune trines my Mars-Mercury at 24°Taurus (Mars is the ruler of the house Saturn is in). I have a strong Saturn- Neptune connection.. I don't know where to begin to explain this express in my life
Well this was joyful 😂
As America's sign is Cancer (July 4th), how would the trine of Saturn/Neptune be?
Natal 9th house Saturn retrograde in early Pisces. As of yesterday, my 2nd Saturn return is a fact, with Neptune at home at the party. Saturn/Pisces energy in the house of belief. For me it's always been vague.
Growing up there was a lot of exploration of various forms of religion by my parents who were obviously looking for something meaningful to add to their kids' upbringing but could never actually find something they were comfortable with (?) I was given “a little bit of everything” with a Catholic convent elementary school education while they were at it.
Needless to say, all I learned was that all these religions look pretty much alike with the usual “love thy neighbour as thyself” stuff. At that age the actual differences didn’t interest me.
I remember feeling very confused about which form of religion to actually follow because the need for one was obviously extremely important. Not having one would make me a sinner of the worst kind and I would definitely go to hell.
Over the years I have gradually allowed myself to let organized religion go because secretly I never felt it made sense to me. I never saw myself as a bad person who deserved hell. If we all basically had the same values why is there so much hatred in the world? No tolerance? No trust? We are, after all, all the same. Why the walls and boundaries? A lot did not make sense to me.
For years now I have been absolutely fascinated with astrology. At the back of my mind, I am always wondering to what extent it has become my “religion”. Am I being as dogmatic and blind as so many religious fanatics out there? So basically I have a deep-rooted distrust of anything that is group-belief-religion oriented. Although I do not classify astrology as a belief. However, a lot of people out there do.
I think this will be a period of intense soul-searching about my own spiritual compass and path and how I express what makes sense and what matters to me in an authentic way without alienating people. I have Chiron here too in an exact Grand Water Trine with natal Sun and natal Neptune. I feel I need to do something with that.
When the student is ready the teacher appears. I wonder what this 2nd Saturn return will bring.
😢❤
How do we find the house where this conjunction will happen
Find your rising sign (use like astrodienst to get your chart) then what ever sign that is is considered your first house. Then begin to count counter clockwise until you get to Pisces. Then thats the house! Plenty of stuff online about finding it too.
During Dec 26, 2004 tsunami Saturn was at 25 of Cancer and Neptune at 13 of Aquarius, so what Saturn/Neptune aspect are you referring to in this case ?
He is referring to the Tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011 I believe. The one you seem to be mentioning occurred in the Indian Ocean.
@@collinsmonday5043 I think he was referring to 2004 tsunami, will doublecheck
That tsunami was in my country. By the way... In 2021 Biden said Jakarta (capital city Indonesia) may sink. And now a new capital (which in Borneo Island) is under contruction. Do I really need to move. IYKYK.
They are actually together in May 2025 😄
@kutlukgursoy not by the ancient concepts of co presence...they start together as soon as they are in the same temple
@@Adam-Elenbaas yes you are right about that. Just want to add that they are in the same sign and also has the same declination in May 2025 and February 2026. Their declination is varying from March up to when the orb widens. I don't know if other astrologers care about declination. Thanks for the insights.
✨🌈✨💖✨💫✨
Sounds like a likelihood of high cognitive dissonance collectively...Definitely experiencing this interpersonally.
❤❤❤

Wow that was so heavy… i so should not have watched that … at least not first thing in the morning
I never lost my faith and was never disillusioned in what I'm studying my universal higher power. I lost my faith in the Catholic Church my government and my community because none of you stepped up to help when my whole family was missing and murdered Saint Leo's parish never came to check on me or my children ever. I'm Roxanne Lodise. My higher power is still here. Sorry but God never answered my prayers for 50 years. The UNIVERSE did.
I don’t like the group think of the MAGA crowd or the narrow fundamentalism of some in the Christian community, I’m a big fan of Thich Nhat Hanh I firmly embrace astrology as an ancient wisdom and I’m awed by CGJung, All that being said - Tarnas constantly injects his left wing , non unifying messages in the mix as well. is sad because he is a genius, but is still part of the divisions that are tearing our society apart.
JESUS CHRIST HELP US ALL
KEPP US SAFE KEEP US BLESSED JESUS PROTECT US JESUS CHRIST SAVES HELP US ALL
Hello!! I have saturn 20°, neptune 21° in my first house, libra. does anyone know what this indicates? 🌻🌞🪷
