Another month gone and still in the same limbo.
Living on this Neptune AC line is just like living in the ocean that he (Neptune/Poseidon) rules. Every time I try to pull away and escape the tide manages to pull me back in, thus solidifying my fate of having to stay here longer. I’ve managed to accept my circumstances that I must continue to live in North Carolina for now. I guess God/Higher Power has plans for me. I have learned to not fight the tide, instead I need to go with the flow just like the water element does so naturally.
If you haven’t watched my latest YouTube or read my blog, I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of Astrocartography. It is a theory that places hold energy for people differently based on their natal astrology birthchart. You can travel the world and activate different planetary energies that will trigger synchronicities that are easier or more challenging for you. In my case, as you can see in the photo below, I have my Neptune AC line running directly through Raleigh-Durham where I have been living for the past almost 13 years. I didn’t know about astrocartography until March of this year and it was a major “a-ha!” moment. Everything was now making sense… just like that time I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
What does living on my Neptune AC line mean? Well when I was born in California, my natal Neptune was at 7 degrees, Capricorn, and in the 2nd House. When I relocated here to North Carolina in the Raleigh-Durham area my Neptune shifted to be in conjunction to my Ascendant. These angles of the AC, IC, DC, and MC all hold a powerful significance in our lives and can amplify a planet’s energy if it is conjunct. As you can see between the two images below the planet has moved on the relocation chart, but its sign and degree do not change. For me, Neptune is still in Capricorn at 7 degrees, but is now on the ascendant (AC).
According to astrologer and astrocartographer Helena Woods, “you are existing simultaneously, everywhere, all at once.”
Living on this Neptune AC line for the past (almost) 13 years has been a blessing and a curse. Neptune has had a lot of give and take. I’ve been burglarized twice, had full blown manic episodes where I was extremely delusional, life feeling hazy, experimented with a lot of substances, suffered burnout from my career, not able to make close friends, and a divorce. On the more positive side, I found spirituality, intuition, creativity, giving back to the community, vivid dreams, transcendence, and my true authentic self.
AstroDienst describes living on a Neptune AC line as follows:
“Changes which you experience under the influence of this line, happen unobtrusively and almost unnoticeably. You feel relaxed and easy, and pleasantly removed from the ordinariness of everyday life. Encouraged by idealism, sympathy and the limitless belief in the power of good over evil, you are happy to entrust your life to a higher presence.
By trusting only your feelings and intuition, you are in danger of losing sight of reality. Contrasted against actual reality, your sensitivity is stretched. You then tend to escape by dreaming, bask in romance and prefer to see the world through rose-coloured glasses.
Surrounded by a secretive and mysterious aura, it is hard to get a hold of reality, and you become the perfect mirror for the projection of unquenched cravings and repressed emotions of others. You may be idealised by some of the people around you, but it is also possible that you are deceived.
You should pay special attention to false promises, secrets or shallow friends, otherwise partnerships end as disappointments. These places are unsuitable for acquiring material possessions or speculating financially. On the other hand, creative pursuits, social services as well as becoming involved with transcendental, religious and spiritual subjects have a purpose.”
I was unknowingly living directly on this highly energetic line and had experienced a lot of the points that AstroDienst makes thus it not being a self-fulfilling prophecy. It wasn’t until I discovered astrocartography everything fell into place that my thoughts and feelings about living here were validated. It all made sense! I knew I had a deep connection with this place and I couldn’t explain the reasoning. I just “knew.”
That leads to me noticing a pattern in my natal birthchart that I have a lot of Libran energies. This is based on the degree and house, not necessarily the placement as I don’t have any planets in Libra. I made this little chart (not sure if it holds any validity because I am 100% self-taught astrologer) of giving a “point” to each zodiac sign to see which one held the most weight based on placement, degree, and house. Turns out Libra took the lead. I guess Aries would be second if I were to equate the 0 degrees 00 seconds of Mars in Cancer to Aries. I actually did not include it in the final tally.
I like to think of astrology as a very intricate watch with many moving gears all at the same time. I am always finding patterns that lead to each zodiac sign. They criss-cross with each other and depend on each other. One is a foundation for another. They are all ever present and one is not more important than another. I can’t even pinpoint what my most important lesson here on Earth is because it seems to be that I master them all.
I feel like my most important challenge at the moment is finding Libran balance. It has been brought to my attention that I’m just too extreme in numerous aspects of my life.
My body and physical form. I don’t know how to maintain a physique I’m happy with because I swing from being in good shape to being out of shape. My Taurean Sun sometimes over indulges. I have cycled up and down drastically in weight numerous times going from a dress size 0 to a 12. I don’t do crash diets as I do have healthy eating habits at times, but I also get addicted to junk like chips, ice cream, and cookies. I genuinely understand nutrition as I hired a nutritionist at one point in my life and that was such a good investment. If there are two professionals I highly recommend hiring at any point in your life it is a nutritionist and a personal trainer. Both will teach you basics, skills, and share useful knowledge that is typically not taught in K-12 schooling and you will be able to carry with you for the rest of your life.
My mental health. Going from extreme ups where I act invincible, I can do anything, and convinced God will provide for me in every aspect to severe depression where I feel like I can't go on living anymore nor get out of bed. I will say I’ve felt more stable in the past 6 months where I still had ups & downs, but they weren’t as extreme as they were 5-12 years ago.
My finances. No debt. Debt. No debt. Debt. No debt. Debt.
Work vs. life. When I was working full time as a civil engineer my entire life revolved around my work. On top of being at work anywhere from 40-55 hours I would spend additional time doing things for work like studying for my license (10-20 hours a week), lunch ‘n learns, conferences, volunteering, happy hours, and whatever else my company would push for me to do. When I took vacations it was always a music festival where I would just “rave my face off” indulging in numerous drugs and partying so hard I couldn’t even remember what I did that night. I would return to work exhausted with blisters, a raspy voice, and co-workers joking that I needed to be drug tested which then led to anxiety. I felt like I couldn't be my authentic self at work and was wearing a mask.
I’ve now pinpointed that in order to live on this Neptune AC line in a healthy manner that I need more Libran balance. How do I do that? Well I have to take one step back… to the Zodiac sign and house that precedes Libra. It’s the beautiful virgin, Virgo and the 6th House. The 6th House reflects our daily life, habits, and responsibility. Every single day counts and as time passes one eventually becomes a master of their practices. If I can make better and more balanced choices DAILY I will (hopefully) not teeter-totter with extremeness on the see-saw of life.
So what have I been up to lately? Well my clutter is not as bad as it was several months ago. I haven't been eating fast food. I've been practicing yoga more. I've been journaling and reading. I've been going on walks out in nature. I've been applying to jobs. I haven't smoked weed. I've honestly been working my ass off. I had family tell me they are proud of me and how much improvement they've seen since coming back from Asia.
The thing is I've never been one to give up. I've had my slumps, but I knew I would come out of them eventually. More recently from 2023-2025 I've needed to rest my body, mind, and soul. I have had a lot of trauma and never took time to process it all. I'm now 38 years old and 2 years was blessing. Some people never get a break from life like I did. I'm very grateful. I genuinely feel like God provided and helped me navigate those turbulent waters.
Now the ocean seems to be calming down. I don't have any clue where I'm going exactly, but I know if I focus on what's in front of me that the sails will start to blow me in the right direction. North Carolina will be my home for the time being while I build on my daily habits and find balance. It surely will prepare me for a smoother sailing in the next part of my life.
When things get confusing don't fret. Chaos precedes order. Embrace and know it will be over soon.
Take care.
In Love && Light,
