It’s fitting for the last day of Neptune’s transit through
Aquarius that it should be so very wet.
Neptune consciousness only started to sink in for me as his departure became more imminent and I began to grow very weary of the
state of total mystification (for better and for worse) that Neptune has brought into my life. Since my twenties he's been making his way through my personal 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Houses. Neptune moving house has been characterised by major life events.
Neptune, King of the Deep. Trident bearing, bearded, muscly,
old, bloke who charges about sometimes on a fleet of white horses riding the
waves, has become for me something of an eccentric and at times, Saturnian Father figure type. Someone you know you ought pay
attention to if you can understand what he’s getting at. Someone who seems a bit cryptic. It’s quite a trip with Neptune,
discerning the lessons within lessons of mysticism from the risk of getting caught or
addicted and being glamourised by the idea of the mystic.
The mystic seeks primarily to get back to her essential
source. To mystics it’s abundantly clear that ‘life’ as is commonly known, the
externals of life, stand primarily as a mysterious set of clues and keys and
correspondences that signify a greater reality. It’s almost the inverse opposite to what is considered the
correct interpretation of reality.
The scientific interpretation of there being only a measurable reality and that abstract concepts of unseen linkages, and
interconnections or spiritual ideas of a transcendent nature, unable to be
quantified or ‘seen’ simply do not exist. When it is these very things that hold the keys to understanding how we
can start to approach what most of us want-- peace, well-being, the integration of ourselves and the ability
to express our full humanness creatively and beautifully.
If you’re addicted to any mind-altering activity, however
that addiction makes itself known, underpinning it is Neptune urging you to yes, change your mind, transform the way you think and not to
limit yourself to the view that all you see is all there is.
Neptune is a benevolent figure, and wants to make
sure you have at least access to some of the more mysterious verities of the
human psyche. He cannot be held responsible if you seek to alter your every day
reality by becoming addicted to escaping from it, via drugs, gambling, sex,
stupid television whatever. But it’s not what he’s about, not at all. An altered state of consciousness, a
greater state of consciousness is available to you any time you want it. Neptune is there
to impress upon you that a more abundant, more interesting, more meaningful,
fruitful life is even if buried deep is there for the taking.
