Neptune and Jupiter have a special relationship. Neptune shares the ruler ship of Jupiter's classical "night house" Pisces. Need a translation? All the classical Planets (those visible with the naked eye) ruled 2 signs, one designated the day house (which typical had the more outgoing characteristic) and one the night (the more introspective).
Jupiter correlates to ideas of expansion, attitudes of hope, ethics positivity and yes, luck (because after all luck is, as has been discussed earlier in articles about Jupiter, mostly a matter of good attitude and receptiveness to opportunity. Pisces, the night house of Jupiter is about an internal expansiveness, about the loosening of presuppositions, about the opening to spirituality and about the openness to dreams and transcendence.
In the modern system these concepts in addition to remaining partially a matter of Jupiter's night house are more specifically assigned to Neptune, this mysterious dream creature, this universal solvent of ideas, and this mystic cosmic nameable soup, a sea of mystic inspiration that ironically produces the embers of inspiration while symbolizing and embracing the end of the year and dissolution of all things.
Right Now Neptune is in retrograde, which turns that spiritual eye inward in an Assessment of the self, and on the Aquarius-Pisces cusp it finds itself in a powerful place to renew, reform reflect and reinvent our relationship to spirit, our dreams, and just our sense of Magick itself.
How interesting that the mysterious mystical inward focus should be caught in a type of aspect almost intrinsically linked with the idea of magick mystery and creativity- the Quentil. The Quentil is a relationship between 2 things so dissimilar that they are able to create something bold exciting unexpected and new. Two things so seemingly inharmonious that when brought together they produce such an unusual vantage point from which to see the world that genius is often apt to follow should we allow ourselves to be open and receptive to it. This quentil is between Jupiter in Taurus, fixed steady, earth. Indicating a tendency to steady stable growth slow expectant growth in ideas and physical matters.
In Ethiopia there is a practice that men of a certain age will sometimes have a vision of the holy spirit. Then go into the mountains and live as a secluded monk. These holy men go into the mountains with only a mallet and a stone chisel, and chisel chapels out of the sheer stone of the mountains. There are men of this mystical service that have produced hundreds of chapels one mallet stroke at a time.
This is the sort of idea that we are working with. In this case, though on the cusp of Aquarius our chapels may not be built in the mountain, but perhaps in the city, perhaps elsewhere, but within the direct human experience and with the mindset of both the spiritualist and the social reformer.
While this is happening Neptune sextils Pluto in Capricorn, drawing a fertile ground to re imagine our social political and financial institutions and our relationships to them, this of course trines back to that Tauran Jupiter, giving us that one-step at a time perspective.
Meditation:
I open myself to the Magick that comes from structured loving methodical practice. I open my heart to the Magick that comes from a daily embrace of personal power and responsibility, and the genius of contemplation married to humble service and an openness to the visionary everyday nature of every spirit, especially my own. I Believe first in my ability to make change if just a little at a time, and the universe Smiles back.
