| Life's Greatest Adventure!
| | | | | | Hi Friend,
Last week we began by looking at the nature of Neptune and this week we'll begin looking at Neptune through the signs. Although Neptune and Uranus are both waking us up, they do so in very different ways. Where Uranus is awakening our intuition it is still working on the level of mind*, albeit higher mind, by bringing us intuition, flashes of insight and knowing.
Neptune continues a process of awakening that begins with Uranus, by taking our intuition and developing it even further by awakening our heart. Where Uranus awakens Higher Mind, Neptune awakens Heart Intelligence. Both are needed if we are to be whole and fully, spiritually, awake.

| Through
open heart intelligence Neptune awakens us to a sensing capacity where
we are able to sense the quality of energy in all the aspects of being
that we mentioned last week: the physical body, the energy body, the
mental body, the intuitive body, the bliss body and, ultimately,
Universal Mind. Neptune
is associated with illusion and on the path of Neptune it seems that we
get caught in our illusions and delusions, only to experience a
necessary disillusionment, which catalyses us to continue our deeper
search for that which is real, true, and meaningful. The ultimate
purpose of Neptune is that once we are more receptive to it's energy,
through conscious awareness, it has the potential to awaken great
compassion in us.
Neptune
takes about 165 years to make one complete orbit of the Sun so not many
people live to see a 'Neptune' return in their charts! Because
it is a slow-moving planet whole generations have Neptune in the same
sign, so we can see that there is a generational and cyclical quality to
the process of heart awakening for the whole of humanity.
Let's
see how this unfolds with Neptune through the signs, as each generation
builds on the one before, continuing this ongoing process of awakening
to heart intelligence and compassion:
Neptune in Aries (1862-1875, 2025-2039)
This
placement combines Neptune's imaginative, glamorous idealism, with Aries
urge to initiate new beginnings with boldness and courage.
Aries
begins all new cycles, and sows the seeds of ideas for future
generations to follow. The Soul-centered purpose of Aries is to inspire others with Divine ideas.
As this generation reached their 20's some Neptunian 'seed ideas' were
being sown that would grow throughout the next 165 years: electricity
was being introduced as a source of illumination in new homes; the first
motion pictures were created from still images, connecting humanity in a
way never done before by creating the illusion that we now know as
'movies'; and the emergence of the first automobiles opened up worlds of
connection by allowing the masses to travel further distances through which we began
understanding cultures different from our own.
There were also
widespread calls for social reform to improve the health and well-being
of the poor: with the introduction of widespread strategies for heath, welfare and education. These are some early indications of a more 'humane' heart-centered
humanity that was emerging. |
| | Neptune in Taurus (1875-1888, 2039-2052)
This placement combines Neptune's illusory nature with Taurus desire for security, in particular financial security.
The Soul-centered purpose of Taurus is spiritual illumination through the release of personal desire and attachment. As this generation reached their 20's there had been a series of financial 'booms' and subsequent 'busts' in the stock market - early precursors of the major stock-market crash of 1929 which led to the great 1930's depression. During this earlier period bankers and investors (previously caught up in the glamor of boom and unbridled financial gain) were alerted to the rhythms of gain and loss, and began trying to put safeguards in place to protect themselves from future losses.
These are the early lessons of Neptune in Taurus: that our deepest sense of security cannot come from the illusory nature of money. The highest potential of this placement (which may be realized by the next Neptune in Taurus generation) is the opening of the third eye, spiritual illumination, and the realization that all is light. This is an excellent placement for a generation of enlightened human beings!
Neptune in Gemini (1888-1902, 2052-2065)
This placement combines Neptune's dreamy idealism with Gemini's talent for connection and disseminating information.
The Soul-centered purpose of Gemini is to teach right human relationship: to 'marry' the head-mind and the heart-mind. The challenge for this generation is one of delusion through misinformation. Note that Adolf Hitler had this placement and his generation was the first to use propaganda on a large scale: the intentional use of misinformation to spread fear and control the masses. The highest potential of this placement is deep communion through a real heart-centered connection with Divinity.
Neptune in Cancer (1902-1916)
This placement combines Neptune's idealism with Cancer's urge for safety and security. Neptune is exalted in Cancer which means it's energy is at it's most potent.
This may not always be positive because it can lead to excess and extremism. The Soul-centered purpose of Cancer is to flow more compassion into the world. The challenge for this generation is not to succumb to illusory fears, which can become magnified. Cancer rules the Nursing profession and during this period the nursing professions were establishing ideal (Neptune) 'standards' for professional practice to ensure the safety (Cancer) and well-being of patients.
Neptune in Leo (1915-1929)
This placement combined Neptune's illusory nature with Leo's orientation to individuality and the search for Self.
The Soul-centered purpose of Leo is heart-centered leadership through becoming an individual expression if Divine Will. The challenge for this generation is self-delusion. By the time this generation reached their 20's tensions were building up to World War II as encroaching dictatorial regimes such as fascism and communism threatened to diminish the rights of the individual. This generation was catalyzed by world events into standing for their rights as individuals. This is a powerful placement for self-realization and self-illumination once we transcends our lower ego-challenges.

That's all for now! We can already see the potential for future generations for deep spiritual connection, provided humanity continues along this current wave of spiritual awakening that has already begun! This requires each and every one of us, as individuals, to remain committed to our own journey of spiritual awakening through self-exploration.
Next week we'll continue Neptune through the signs with the remaining signs Virgo to Pisces, and in the meantime... happy exploring!
Best Wishes,
Ruth
