Neptune represents the dreams, visions and secret castles in Spain. Again, the sign and house indicate what this castle is built of, how it is furnished, and when it will materialize. Neptune rules the dreams of impossible sugar-loaf cottages, as well as fine marble palaces, and lastly the soul chambers for the spiritual house.
The Neptune influence is delicate and subtle. A little of the poetic, mystical Neptune quality makes the average person interesting. Life with its hard realism needs Neptune’s unearthly charm to soften and humanize, but when the Neptune quality is too dominant in the life it brings evils that the world censures harshly.
When the Neptune character deals with soft humanizing pity, it aids reforms, but when “the soft influence” goes too far, we have drug addicts, perverts, drunkards and persons whose capacity for deception is so boundless and hard to fathom that it can only be called “the psychopathic case.”
The scope of Neptune is wide for both good and evil, dealing as it does with those inmost reaches of the soul with which the average man has little patience and less understanding. Neptune badly aspected asps the energy, and devitalizes the mind. Neptune exalted makes a divine fire so delicate as to be beyond the comprehension of the rank and file of humanity. |
