Goodbye Neptune: Surviving 14 Years in the Fog and Claiming What I Learned For fourteen years, Neptune moved through Pisces—and for many of us, it felt like living underwater. In this deeply personal episode of Star Women Rising, Melinda reflects on the end of a long, heavy cycle marked by exhaustion, emotional collapse, shadow work, betrayal, and profound inner transformation. As Neptune finally leaves Pisces, she looks back on what it took from her—and what it forced her to learn. This is not a polished “love and light” conversation. It’s an honest reckoning with burnout, adrenal collapse, perimenopause, spiritual disillusionment, over-giving, manipulation, and the quiet undoing that happens when your body and soul simply refuse to keep going. Melinda speaks openly about losing her capacity to care in the way she once did, confronting her shadow—including rage and grief—and learning the hard but sacred lessons of boundaries, self-preservation, and discernment. Through astrology, lived experience, and deep self-reflection, this episode explores how long cycles can strip us down to nothing—and why that stripping may be exactly what frees us. It’s about recognizing patterns, trusting intuition, honoring grief, and emerging with clarity instead of illusion. Whether or not you follow astrology, if the past decade felt like moving through fog, quicksand, or emotional captivity, this conversation may help you name what you survived—and carry forward the wisdom you earned. This is a goodbye. A thank you. And the beginning of movement again. ✨ Star Women Rising is part of the Chickology Podcast Collective — Real Women. Real Stories.
