Alive and Well with Neptune: Transits of Heart and Soul

The author gives a lot of useful and in-depth realizations of Neptune but just brushes by one of the areas Neptune is most known for: the spiritual. Neptune doesn't hold the exclusive on spiritual influence, but is so connected to the spiritual and gifts of the intuitive (clairvoyance, clairaudience, etc)that I would want several instances as well as spiritual perspectives to be included in any work on this planet. Altho' not comprehensive, it's a good read and helpful.

Just like "Alive and Well with Pluto" and "Alive and Well with Uranus", this book is fabulous in its clear writing and in its thoroughness of coverage. As other reviewers have noted, the murky waters of Neptune are the hardest to fathom, but Tierney makes sense for both practicing astrologers and for those undergoing Neptune transits themselves. He takes the reader through Neptune's transits of houses and planets, explains the themes and suggests ways of navigating them. Indispensable!

Clarifying the meaning and function of astrological Neptune is not dissimilar to trying to converse underwater. You end up with a bunch of bubbles in your face that pop and leave you with nothing. Bil Tierney found a way to have that conversation about this nebulous ruler of the deep and actually give his readers something they can comprehend, keep and apply. He accomplishes this feat by being not only an adept astrologer, but also a masterful story teller.This energetically written book provides much insightful information about Neptune's transits. Tierney includes a sometimes amusing review of our natal planets and houses---all from Neptune's perspective--plus he offers an uncommon way to look at mythological Neptune (especially the stormier side) in his Introduction.In Part Two, Bil is describing Neptune's influence in more down-to-earth ways, showing how this planet functions in our day-to-day world.Tierney's books reveal he is a deep but practical thinker who is very psychologically astute. And . . (very important to me), he is much fun to read!

Wow! Buy this book! The chapter entitled "A Neptunian Tour of Our Natal Planets" is alone worth the price of the book and your time! Mr. Tierney simply "becomes" the planet he writes about. He brings the ponderous, foggy Neptune into our daily life so that we may effectively access it's energies and he does so in a manner that I have not experienced in studying any other book on Neptune. There are other excellent books on Neptune and I have read many of them and while Mr. Tierney leaves out none of the features of the other books, he simply relates them more clearly to "this world" and practical every day life.Readiing this book is like mining for gold....you won't be sorry you took the time to investigate it's contents!
