WHICH BRINGS US TO Neptune, compassing the perimeter of
the solar system, further from the Sun than Pluto about
20 years at a time every 247.92 years over Pluto's side-
real orbit. Neptune's orbit is about two-thirds that at
164.79 years. Neptune, whose universal archetype is the
Hermit of the major arcana, has an orbital eccentricity
of only 0.0086, which is barely more than that of Venus.
Compare Pluto's eccentricity at a whopping 0.2488, or a
fourth again greater ratio between major and minor axis.
Combined with Pluto's steep orbital inclination over 17
degrees compared to Neptune's milder 1.77 degrees slope,
and Pluto's mean heliocentric distance of 3,670,000,000
miles or less than a third more than Neptune's distance
from the Sun, and you'll see why these ancient brothers
cross paths every two and a half centuries, therearound.
The third planet beyond the path of his younger brother
Jupiter, Neptune, known as Poseidon in the Greek, there-
fore holds the trident--third also by the element water
which is Pisces, the Hanged Man of tarot, which Jupiter
rules in his inferior aspect and Neptune rules superior.
At 2,796,000,000 miles from the Sun, the temperature on
the surface of this blue gas giant stays relatively con-
stant at -200C or -328F, very nearly the same as Uranus,
as is its composition. Neptune is only a bit smaller at
30,800 miles in equatorial diameter, spinning around at
16 hours 7 minutes per sidereal day, or 6,000 miles per
hour at the surface on the equator. The tilt of Neptune
on its rotational axis is more than 29 1/2 degrees, but
like Uranus, is much too far from the Sun to affect sur-
face temperatures between seasons, at 41.2 years apiece.
Recall from my Tarot Manual chap 3, the 3:2:1 resonance
of Mercury, which rotates on its nearly plumb axis with
its ecliptic exactly 1.5000 times each 360-degree orbit
(87.97046 earth-days) around the Sun, so that one solar
day on Mercury averages exactly two sidereal years, and
three sidereal rotations of Mercury equals two sidereal
orbits, hence its 3:2:1 ratio of day-to-year resonances.
There's a 3:2 resonance between Neptune and Pluto, such
that Pluto's angular momentum achieves equilibrium with
Neptune by slowly librating between steeper orbits with
reduced tangential velocities, then by declining orbits
with elevated tangential velocities, thereby preventing
any possible collision between them--at least in theory.
While a theory can come and go, we can be sure that the
earliest life forms on Earth probably date back several
billion years. So even with all the catastrophic events
of geological antiquity, life has managed to find a way
to survive and thrive through rain, hail, sleet or snow,
through massive crustal displacements, earthquakes, vol-
canoes, meteoroids, famine, pestilence, war, natural se-
lection, etc. Yet through it all, life goes on on Earth.
This is because the universe itself is one vast, living
organism. People argue about the creation of life, when
life has always been the vibrant energy of the universe.
So life has always existed, and will always continue to
exist, since the universe is infinite as the stars that
illuminate it, as darkness that makes the light visible.
Neptune is the sphere of wisdom, of mysticism, of souls
reaching toward the whiteness of Neptune which is Pluto,
who is the white stone at the geocenter of Earth. There
is a verse in Revelation that refers to a "white pebble"
which is hidden from sight, just as Pluton is invisible:
"qui habet aurem audiat quid Spiritus
who is having an ear is hearing what the Spirit
dicat ecclesiis vincenti
is saying to the ecclesias To the conquering
dabo ei manna absconditum et
I shall give to him manna the absconded and
dabo illi calculum candidum et
I shall give also to him a pebble white and
in calculo nomen novum scriptum quod nemo
in the pebble a name new written which no one
scit nisi qui accipit" (2:17)
is knowing except for him who it is accepting.
In the original Greek, the word for pebble is "psephos",
which means a transparent or white pebble smoothed and
rounded, like those most commonly found in a river bed.
The word psephos is also used for a transparent quartz
lens used to focus sunlight to ignite fires, or to mag-
nify something up close. Its root word "psallo" refers
to singing a melody or hymn, and vibrations of strings
made by plucking or bowing them in order to play music,
to sing hymns by instrumental accompaniment, e.g. harp,
hence to "magnify" the Gods by hymnodic praise in song.
Freedom from bondage is the common theme of every hymn,
as from slavery in Egypt to freedom from sin in Christ,
none of which comes easily, and all of which takes tre-
mendous faith, patience, commitment and responsibility.
To get it, we must give it. To give it, we must get it.
Just as a second prism placed in series with the first
prism reunites a rainbow back into its component white,
the law singing the music of the spheres is transposed
in the iris of Earth--her focus, the eye of the sky in
which the seven modalities splay out into the signs of
the zodiac in Earth's meridian houses which is clearly
made by the planets. The lens is focused on the center
of the Earth by those who reign upon her with dominion.
This focus of the lens is the fixed point of the under-
world, the fixed center of gravity & the fixed sign of
Earth, which is Taurus, the Hierophant, the exaltation
of the Moon ergo Ace of Diamonds in the court of Queen
of Diamonds which is the ensign of Venus-inferior, the
separating force of Venus receding from Earth as symbo-
lized in the old testament by the golden calf of Aaron,
the advocate of worldly living--with all its pleasures
and pains, the sinfulness of Lucifer banished from the
heavens and cast down to the Earth with his angels the
third (the evildoers) who make the gentiles vulnerable.
The exaltation of Venus is Pisces, which is the key of
B-major, the III of Hearts in the court of the Jack of
Hearts, the mutable quality of water and the augmented
fifth which needs resolution, either down to the fifth,
or up to the sixth, i.e. either down to Bb of Aquarius,
or up to C of Aries, respectively--in reference to the
King and Queen of the same element, namely Cancer (Eb)
and Scorpio (G), ergo major-fifth or major-sixth triad.
The exact behavior of Venus in Pisces is charted below:

In the midst of Pisces is Saturn-inferior Mercury in Ge-
mini likewise, Mars in Scorpio & Jupiter in Sagittarius,
their superior ensigns. Venus empowers hope and balance,
appreciation for the fine arts, all beauty both manmade
and natural. Venus is the Empress, beautiful Goddess of
heaven...whose loveliness is in the eye of the beholder.
The accentuation on the tonic pitch key as its modality
is transposed across the chromatic tones of the Earth's
zodiac draws the listener's attention to the uniqueness
between one planet's relative position to other planets
in their diatonic sidereal order, and the transposition
of each planet and its astrological force in the zodiac
right down to the decans and pentads of each sign. Also,
each of the twelve zodiacal signs are bisected into fif-
teen degree arcs, with each consecutive sign continuing
the veritable sinewave of its chromatic vector in three
dimensions. The following charts summarize these forces:

The elemental aspects of the planets in these decanates
and pentades and also in the broader scope of the signs
relative to their meridian cusps at multiples of thirty,
with the midpoints between them at multiples of fifteen,
in alternating positive and negative amplitudes, to wit
Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius are
in the plus column, whereas Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scor-
pio, Capricorn and Pisces are in the minus column, this
duality and triplicity of the planetary forces to Earth
pertain to the nature or quality of the elements by the
planets who exert these elemental forces upon the Earth.
For example, a planet in the midst of Pisces translates
into the maximum amplitude of that sign's element along
with that planet's sidereal modality. Furthermore, this
chromatically-transposed modality is being modulated in
the elemental triplicity of the sign's decans & pentads.
Thus if Jupiter is found centered in the sign of Pisces,
then Jupiter is ruling therein with Jupiter's expansive
Lydian modality accentuating the reign of Cancer, Virgo,
and Libra in the key of B at maximum amplitude which is
in the minus column of Jupiter's duality--cf. the "plus"
column of Jupiter, i.e., Sagittarius by radial velocity:

Thus Jupiter in Pisces second decan is adding the major
third of cancer above its tonic B, which is the Eb exal-
ting Jupiter therein with the Sun in aries. Essentially,
the rudimentary overtones & harmonic series are layered
as subtones on top of the dominant and fundamental sign
in which the planet's mode is being transposed. The use
of lower-case names for the decans of the elemental tri-
plicities are used to distinguish them from whole signs
of the zodiac & respective whole elemental triplicities.
For those who've already read my Tarot Manual and Light
& Sound, then you'll recognize these musical principles
of the planets & signs as being somewhat redundant--but
this is not really the case. Now we're taking this know-
ledge and applying it in real-world terms of horoscopes
and their astrological portents, as understood by sound
and color. This is the veritable synthesis of astrology
with the psyche, personality, karma and dharma, ourself
in sidereal modes transposed in signs, decans & pentads.
Acoustical physics, the production, transmission, absor-
ption, reflection, control, effect and general behavior
of audible and inaudible sound is a science all its own.
As human beings, especially those with an ear for music
of whatever genre you like, we know what sounds good to
our ears--and conversely what doesn't. Whether occuring
in nature or manmade, most of us know what sounds sweet
or sounds bad and anywhere in between. Dealing with ast-
rology simplifies things for the purpose of this discus-
sion, since we're only concerned with the well-tempered
twelve-tone scale centered on middle C (C4 of the piano)
which is 261.63 Hz by the usual American-standard pitch,
putting A4 (the first A above middle C) at about 440 Hz,
depending on the temperament used to tune an instrument.
Subtle changes in temperament can have a significant im-
pact on the listener. A mere one cycle-per-second delta
to any tone in the scale can make a major difference in
how the instrument sounds when played. Similarly a note
played hard will momentarily attain a higher pitch than
its sustained resolution on most acoustical instruments.
But the softer it is played, the more uniform its pitch.
The standard pitch for the ascending chromatic scale on
C4 up to the C5 octave is tuned to the A 440 as follows:
C 261.63
C# 277.18
D 293.66
Eb 311.13
E 329.63
F 349.23
F# 369.99
G 392.00
Ab 415.30
A 440.00
Bb 466.16
B 493.88
C' 523.25
