<\/dt>\nRegardless of when you sleep on Thursday, however, when you awaken it would be a good idea to observe the Sun’s conjunction to Neptune by giving thought to your relationship with truth as you know it.<\/p>\n
Neptune’s relationship to the truth is double-edged. The outermost gas giant of the solar system is often associated with delusion and deception. Yet, there is another side to Neptune: the truth you have the power to make.<\/p>\n
As Robert Hand once observed, “Everything that man dreams of making come true as well as everything that man thinks is true, even though it isn’t, comes under the influence of Neptune.” Astrology indicates that your part in that influence is greater now than at any time in living memory. That’s because Neptune currently resides in the sign it rules.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Neptune is the modern ruler of Pisces. Prior to Neptune’s visual identification during the Libra equinox of 1846, Pisces was considered to be the second realm of Jupiter (Sagittarius being the first). Even though the expansive nature of Jupiter still gives us a great deal of useful information about mutable water, Neptune has earned its distinction as dispositor of Pisces, beginning with its virtual discovery. (The term \u2018dispositor\u2019 is used to indicate when one planet superimposes its influence over another. In this case, Jupiter\u2019s influence on Pisces is itself, in turn, influenced by Neptune.)<\/p>\n
In the two centuries prior to 1846, Neptune was observed a number of times, but repeatedly astronomers did not realize what they were looking at. Finally, through the virtual reality of mathematics, a formal and structured form of dreaming, its existence was first surmised then located to the degree. That is where Robert Hand’s astute evaluation derives its validity.<\/p>\n
By 2010, Neptune had completed one full orbit of the Sun and one full circuit of the zodiac since its discovery in late Aquarius. That cycle has only served to verify Neptune’s emblematic affinity for the sign it rules, and their mutual, ambivalent relationship with the truth. So, too, the correlations astrologers have made since Neptune returned to Pisces twice (in 2011 and again in 2012, due to a retrograde). <\/p>\n
As Eric wrote in yesterday’s Daily Astrology, “Neptune, like Pisces, is easily corrupted.” Such corruption is more likely to take place in the field of what you think is true, even though it isn’t. That leads down a long road toward the less savory side of both Neptune and Pisces, where disillusion, disappointment and cynicism take the place of your dreams. The alternative route is to eschew hand-me-down truth for that you make yourself.<\/p>\n
In order to make your dreams come true, first accept that you can. That’s where the Sun will shed some light on the situation later this week. The Sun is light, and the role light plays in your life. With light you can see. The Sun is day, and the part of your life that day represents. Daytime is the natural time to get things done. Therefore, the Sun conjunct Neptune symbolically provides both the illumination and the opportunity to realize your relationship to the truth as you know it.<\/p>\n
If the truth as you know it is something you bought or accepted as your inheritance, it will probably take you to where your own dreams will die. That will leave you among the many who feel they have no alternative but to spend their precious lives in both labor and loss.<\/p>\n
It does not have to be that way. There is room in the world for your dreams. Indeed, the continued existence of the world could depend on your dreams. That’s how it is important to all of us that you employ the symbolic light of the Sun to see your dreams as the origin of the only real truth you can ever know. That’s how it is vital that you make the most of the decade and a half, every century and a half, when it is daytime for both Neptune and Pisces at the same time.<\/p>\n
The last time Neptune was continuously in Pisces, from 1848 to 1863, saw a lot of dreams die, especially in the United States. Huge fleets sailed the world to kill whales for lamp oil. That oil illuminated the conscious corruption of a nation’s dreams, leading to the murder of its First Citizens and the exploitation of those who came (or were brought) to the United States only to labor and lose while serving the dreams of a privileged few. A conscious few, however, availed themselves of what the Sun represents and made true the dream of abolishing formal, structured slavery.<\/p>\n
Now, the pieces are in place again, and there is more work to do. While slavery is not what it was before the United States Civil War, it still plagues humanity. Slavery still exists, especially in prisons, among immigrants, or for displaced women and children. Perhaps even for the places in your mind where the Sun rarely shines.<\/p>\n
The Sun is back, just as it always is one month a year at this time. Pisces is the same place it has always been, and Neptune is there to amplify the energetic field of dreams that it rules. You are not only alive to see it. You are alive precisely because you have a place in it, but it’ll be a place that you define by what you see and what you do. You would do best by starting with your dreams. As you see your dreams, so you can make them; and as you make them so, the truth as you know it can be.<\/p>\n
