Astrologers delineate life scenarios and personalities by interpreting
the geometric configurations of planetary positions against the
backdrop of galactic reference. But as human beings move into space, a
new perspective of astrology must emerge(beyond Pluto). We now have
virtual and other "types" of realities that are emerging. It is our
expansion of perspective that moves us out to greater levels of
reality and to greater depths of the psyche.

It seems consistent with astrological thinking, that the consciousness
and symbology of our solar system and its corresponding geometric
configuration with respect to other systems must also reflect an
astrological configuration within our own galaxy. What would the glyph
for our solar system reflect? What would other civilizations say of
the nature and vibration of our system? Most would agree that the
Christ (the anointed one) or Buddha (the awakened one) represent
accurate models of a mastering of this system. Incarnation and
re-incarnation as a form of belief exploration and experience seems to
be the format for the soul's sojourn through this system. We
experience our beliefs in concretized form, in crystallized form, and
explore a long feedback loop through successive incarnations, only to
come full circle in our understanding that it was our own manifested
projections.

In the Bible in revelations 3:12 it states:

"Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and
he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God,
and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which
cometh down from heaven from my God..."

But what is to be overcome?

The limiting idea itself that the physical
self that we perceive ourselves to be, is all that we are, and all
that we focus on (Saturn/Satan). In Matthew: 21 Christ tells the
disciples how he must go into Jerusalem and suffer and be killed.
"Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, be it far from
thee, lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto
Peter, Get thee behind me Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou
savourest not the things that be of God" (Neptune), "but those that be
of men." (Saturn). What is implied is the trust of the higher self
intention and is connected to Neptune, while Saturn reflects the
discounting of it through fear and invalidation.

In Astronomy the idea of a black hole provides a good scientific model
for the metaphysical concept of level and parameter changes. The
"fabric" of space/time outside of the hole, with its normal
gravitational effects, would not be experienced any differently than
here on Earth, or in space around the Earth. But as we approached the
event horizon, the parameter where space and time begin to warp
because of gravitational effects, time and space experiences would
begin to change and be unrecognizable by the "time" we entered the
black hole. As the identity changes perspective from Saturn to
Neptune, what seems to be reality dissolves into illusion. Saturn
tests our ability to consciously perceive what our beliefs about
reality create (see Saturn Opposition Saturn), even if these beliefs
are not consciously accessible to the self. Neptune directs the
unfolding drama from the higher self non-physical world. Saturn says
if we do not strategize our plan for success, failure will result.
Neptune says, what does a man have if he gains the world and loses his
soul? The sword that we live by, must be the one we die by.

Uranus is the planet that falls between these two planets that
resolves this paradox--the awakener, that dissolves (Neptune) our
focus (Saturn) and through the recognition of choice transforms
perspective (Pluto)to prepare us for interaction with other systems.
This is what is meant by "born again": "Except a man be born again, he
cannot see the kingdom of God" John 3:3. "That which is born of the
flesh is flesh;"(Saturn) and that which is born of Spirit is spirit."
John 3:6 (Neptune).

Saturn deceives us into thinking the physical is real, and Neptune
reflects the elusiveness and apparent unreal nature of spirit. Saturn
represents the illusion of the material world within a spiritual
manifestation (the experience of living in this world), and Neptune
reflects the illusion of spirit within the material world. Where
Saturn is found, the material world deceives us, and where Neptune is
found spirit is sacrificed as an illusion; unobtainable. They are both
real, and both illusions. Time and space are illusions (Saturn), real
while you experience them, but illusions none the less. Realism and
idealism are not diametrically opposed, a realistic manifestation of
the ideal in the physical world is the issue. By giving our power away
to physicality we sacrifice a part of our spirit (Neptune) to the
material world (Saturn), this is where we over-strategize and
overindulge materially without regard for spirit. By giving our power
away to the ideal (Neptune) we lose sight of practical requirements
necessary to efficient functioning in physical reality. Both planets
reflect the illusion of dis-empowerment.

When Saturn and Neptune are in harmonious aspect (sextile, trine)
realism and idealism work hand in hand and dreams come true because of
the belief in their natural integration, spirit supports the physical
and trust in the ideal manifesting is high.

In developmental aspects in a horoscope (opposition, square), the
ideal and the real are believed worlds apart. The person may be given
to fears about inadequacy, and believe in the impossibility of dreams
being true. Faith is lacking. Spirit interferes with matter and
vice-versa. The early Christian movement was based on this mistrust
and belief. Hence, judgment was rampant.

When these planets are conjunct, one planet can overwhelm or
invalidate the other. The identity can develop an inferiority complex
through the inability to balance these different worlds of
alternatives. If the conjunction is well aspected, there are high
ethical standards, and a logical or practical approach to religion.
Self-empowerment comes through the balancing of these two realities.
The earth is also a spiritual experience. If "ALL THAT IS" is
everything, everywhere, all at once, what part of it is not spiritual?
We create the illusion of this separateness because we create
ourselves and reality with the concept of doubt.

All of experience is a spiritual experience. There is no other way it
can be--unless of course you choose to create the illusion that this
is so. Why would one choose such a limiting reality? Perhaps to
explore that idea and remove all doubt.

In Example

Example number one is the horoscope of Marilyn Monroe. The element
count shows only the Midheaven in Earth.



A strong disbelief in the "spirituality" of physical experience, and
difficulty with day-to-day reality experience because of that negative
definition. Insight and social sense is shown through the Sun/moon
blend, along with intuition and a humanitarian perspective. The
reigning need (moon) is to be acknowledged and appreciated by others
for her uniqueness (Aquarius) which is not believed manifestable
(opposes Neptune and squares Saturn). Neptune in 1 is the antithesis
of identity development. The definition of the self alone is elusive
(unless spirituality is trusted as a valid and feasible identity
definition). There was evidently great tension about being a sex
symbol (Leo ascendant, Saturn in Scorpio) instead of being recognized
for the intellect and perception (Air references). Neptune in the sign
of dramatic ego recognition (Leo) is square Saturn in Scorpio the sign
of emotional significance, a significance it seems that was denied by
the early environment (4th house reference). Emotional
self-sufficiency as a defense against a strong fear of being taken
advantage of is shown by the grand trine in water signs in the
unconscious houses (4th, 8th, and 12th) between Saturn, Pluto (ruler
of 4) and Mars.

Marilyn had a tremendous identity (1st and 7th houses) status (4th and
10th houses) crisis. The physical reality of her sense of doom and
emotional insecurity (Saturn in 4 in Scorpio) was in conflict with her
sense of spirit (Neptune in Leo), sex symbol vs creative spirit.
Saturn rules 6. Giving love unconditionally is unobtainable (Leo) and
sex is the "trap" of the physical world that disrupts security (4th).
The Moon is in 7. Her fears about relationship were great. She could
not trust the real or ideal. A vacillation between strategy (Saturn)
and gullibility (Neptune). There were unrealistic fears about the
adequacy of identity presentation (Neptune in 1). A very strong
difficulty with trusting the manifestation of the ideal in love giving
and creative extension. She was known for being late for rehearsal or
not showing up at all.

Chart number 2 is the reported explosion and downing of a
extraterrestrial craft in the desert of New Mexico known as the
Roswell UFO crash (corrected, researched and rectified by this
author).



Three degrees away from a full moon (full illumination) between Cancer
(inner) and Capricorn (outer physical manifestation), we can sense a
conflict between emotions (Cancer) and physicality (Capricorn) between
the aspects of creative extension (5th) and the extension of others
(reception 11th). "Status" in awareness and illumination. This
illumination would be in developmental tension with spirit and other
world relationship (Neptune in 8 in Libra) and would reflect a new
beginning of introspection and co-fusion (ruling the 0 Pisces
ascendant). Venus (relationship) is conjunct Uranus (the avant garde
unconscious awakening) in Gemini (travel, conscious mind, duality and
polarity). A lightning strike is the likely cause of the crash. Chiron
(transition) is inconjunct the node/Mars conjunction from Scorpio
(accidental death) and Jupiter is in the 9th in the perspective
altering sign as well. Finally, Saturn (physical manifestation) in the
sign of Leo is 10 minutes of arc past exact sextile with Neptune (the
ascendant ruler) in the sign of relationship reflection Libra (and is
disposed of by Venus). The implication is that these travelers move
and relocate through dimensions as well as time and space. Mercury
stationary retrograde at 27 Cancer would definitely be a sign of
reassessing our security and mode of travel.

It would be more an illusion (a delusion of grandeur) to assume that
other life does not exist within the infinite reaches of outer space,
than to assume it must by statistics alone. Astronomers now recognize
the fact that our solar system (and hence consciousness) is common and
average, not special and unique. Statistically, at best, our planet is
a very small planet, one of the smaller in orbit around a minor star,
at the furthest edge of a common and inconsiderable galaxy. Neptune's
demonstrated reflection dictates that as we dissolve and transform the
barriers of ego importance associated with inflated self-importance
collectively (Mars), we will allow (create the potential for) more
interaction with these other worlds.

The fact that Saturn was sextiling Neptune exactly at the time of this
"story" lends strong credence to it, in and of itself.

Saturn represents the "dream" of physical reality. Neptune encompasses
that physical dream within it. The sense of sacrifice associated with
Neptune is the unconscious recognition that "he that overcomes" the
illusion of the physical dream, can blend his personal consciousness
with the consciousness of the solar system (the Christ consciousness),
other systems, and ultimately "All That Is" (God) with the recognition
that one is as real as the other.

If we create our reality by what we believe, then everything must be
in our lives for a reason and a positive reason, it is all a part of
us, it is not outside of us and we can trust it, because it is there
for our reason. We could say that the greater reality of Neptune
co-fuses (as opposed to confuses) us with God and a more encompassing
reality. We realize that we are just one of the ways the "All That Is"
has of expressing itself. This realization allows us to be born again
into a new reality where miracles are commonplace, natural, that will
fulfill the meaning behind the prayer that God's will is done "on
Earth (Saturn) as it is in Heaven" (Neptune), Matthew 6:10.

"The kingdom of heaven will not come through expectation-it is spread
across the land but men do not see it." The Gospel of Thomas

"Do not give what is holy to dogs; and do not throw your pearls before
swine, or they will trample them under foot and turn and maul you."
Matthew 7:6, New Revised Standard Version

"He who drinks from my mouth will become as I am, and I shall be he."
The Gospel according to St. Thomas
