Neptune at odds with natal Saturn

Your chart · time-limitedSteady♈︎Western AstrologyWork

Don't quit or scrap a project just because it feels hollow. Keep the structure until the fog clears.

In detail

Transit Neptune in challenging aspect to natal Saturn holds the moving Neptune at a hard angle to the natal Saturn. At about 0.36 arcminutes a day against a 3-degree orb the passage runs roughly three years, and a retrograde carries the same degree past three times, which is why the emptiness comes in waves. Saturn is the structure bought with time: position, obligation, credibility, debts cleared. Neptune dissolves, and at a hard angle what dissolves is not the structure but its supply of meaning, so everything looks unchanged from outside and hollow from inside. Compared with Pluto against Saturn, which takes the structure apart for real, the building here is still standing; what falls is the reason to keep maintaining it.

FAQ

Why does everything still look normal from outside?
What dissolves is the supply of meaning rather than the structure. Position, duties and credit keep functioning while the internal drive empties out, which is why the state is hard for others to read.
Is this a good stretch to change direction?
Choosing a new direction is fine; cancelling is not. The passage runs about three years with quiet gaps inside it, and subtractions made at the lowest point of meaning usually take longer to undo than they took to make.
