Neptune Direct: Foods to Help Ground Your Energy

Mystical Neptune recently went direct, and will continue to move forward through June 2012. For some, the blue planet’s movement portends chaos and destruction, while for others it suggests liberation from the ego and getting over old habits.

Ruler of the sea, Neptune's connection to music and spirituality should help with letting go of old structures that limit your creativity and transformation. The intensity of Neptune will inspire your mind to seek the unusual. Aquatic plants are ruled by Neptune, and their unusual beauty can be inspirational in many ways.

Take, for example, the lotus flower, a symbol of purity and divinity. Although the lotus grows in the mud, it is unstained. How beautiful is that? The flower’s ability to remain clean can be explained by its biophysical properties, but applying that principle to our lives can help us achieve wonders within ourselves and as role models for others.

During this highly charged time, take plenty of long walks outside to exercise and connect with nature. Avoid meats, chicken, salty foods and excess of any kind. Focus on eating foods that will positively elevate your vibration. Here’s a list of what foods will help your Sun sign experience the best that Neptune’s energy has to offer!
