In particular, Nereid has an unusually close and eccentric orbit for an irregular satellite, suggesting that it may have once been a regular satellite that was significantly perturbed to its current position when Triton was captured. Neptune also has six more outer irregular satellites other than Triton, including Nereid, whose orbits are much farther from Neptune and at high inclination: three of these have prograde orbits, while the remainder have retrograde orbits. They were re-accreted from the rubble disc generated after Triton's capture after the Tritonian orbit became circular. Inward of Triton are seven small regular satellites, all of which have prograde orbits in planes that lie close to Neptune's equatorial plane some of these orbit among Neptune's rings. Triton is massive enough to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium and to retain a thin atmosphere capable of forming clouds and hazes. The capture of Triton, probably occurring some time after Neptune formed a satellite system, was a catastrophic event for Neptune's original satellites, disrupting their orbits so that they collided to form a rubble disc. The next-largest satellite in the Solar System suspected to be captured, Saturn's moon Phoebe, has only 0.03% of Triton's mass. Triton is unique among moons of planetary mass in that its orbit is retrograde to Neptune's rotation and inclined relative to Neptune's equator, which suggests that it did not form in orbit around Neptune but was instead gravitationally captured by it. Neptune's outermost moon Neso, which has an orbital period of about 27 Julian years, orbits farther from its planet than any other moon in the Solar System. Over a century passed before the discovery of the second natural satellite, Nereid. By far the largest of them is Triton, discovered by William Lassell on October 10, 1846, 17 days after the discovery of Neptune itself. The planet Neptune has 14 known moons, which are named for minor water deities in Greek mythology. What is the Universe trying to get you to see? What is it saying? What do you "know?" Trust it the signs, omens, and, most importantly, your inner voice.Neptune (top) and Triton (bottom), three days after the Voyager 2 flyby in 1989 Continue to pay attention to what Mercury is currently teaching you. In this Mercury trine Neptune station, Mercury is undoubtedly here to deliver potent intuitive messages. Mercury, while direct, continues to move out of his retrograde shadow. On a higher note, Neptune stationing direct at 15 degrees of Pisces forms a trine to Mercury, who still travels in Scorpio. So, if the tears begin to fall, trust that your catharsis is both healing and helpful. One effect of Neptune coming out of retrograde is that you may feel a bit more emotional than you're used to. Neptune rules all things ephemeral and functions as a higher octave of Venus, meaning the direct station helps you access a deeper place of love within yourself. Speaking of dreams, Neptune stations direct on Wednesday, awakening passions within.

No retrogrades in sight-rather, Neptune trine Mercury Take time on Tuesday to write down your new-moon wishes, and commit them to yourself. So capitalize on the opportunity of the present moment that this new moon provides to stake claim to your dreams. Looking ahead to December 2 when Jupiter moves into Capricorn, you can expect a major pivot from the changing tides. So get clear on your needs, wants, and longings. He's currently wrapping up his stay in his home domain-a place he's traveled since November 2018-and this new moon provides a moment to conjure his support to catapult your growth. Here's the deal: Jupiter in Sagittarius rules this new moon. To make the most of it, ask yourself this: What do you most desire to create at this time in your life? What is tugging at your heart? EST, this second-to-last new moon of the decade invites hope, optimism, and growth.
