Neptune represents our dream, the idealized image of what our life could be. The South Node is the spot in the heavens that shows us our connection to the past, and points out the need to let go. When Neptune opposes the South Node, the bottom falls out of any dream or utopian idealism as soon as reality hits. It indicates death and rebirth. In this case, it’s the death of Neptune’s old dream; and one has to come up with a whole new dream now. As an example, here is upcoming Capricorn ingress of the Sun drawn for Damascus, Syria. It has Neptune which stationed direct (on Dec. 8) placed on the Ascendant opposite the South Node. The Syrian dream of a strong secular state was weakened by years of sanctions so that it suddenly collapsed.
I am using Syria as an example to illustrate how a Neptune station can completely undermine a situation that was already hollowed out. Readers may check their charts to see if the Neptune station affects them directly (as by transits) or indirectly (in solar or lunar return charts).
About Neptune retrograde in transit, Erin Sullivan writes:
There is a disintegration of worldly form, illusions are swept away and new ones are instated. The solid world of what appears to be reality shifts and changes shape, enriching one with new and more elaborate images of what the world is. The dissolution and resolution cycles are part of the natural phenomenon of the ever-evolving perceptions that we have of life itself, but the erosion of boundaries between ourselves and our world can be frightening and disorienting, especially when the planet repeatedly contacts personal points in long-term transits.
