Neptune ruling over ideas such as spirituality, release, dreams and illusions, powerfully strong in its own Sign of Pisces, creating a strange almost delirious atmosphere, but if angled right an atmosphere of an ultimate spiritual truth has entered into an aspect best defined as containing a sort of potential most clearly understood as a sort of magickal opportunity, or possibly as fertile for a grand stroke of genius, with none other than Jupiter, that keeper of expansion, that holder optimism, who is expanding in a slow steady earthy dependable way in Taurus.
What does this mean?
Simply put, it means that the combination of expansive tendencies that are slow measured steady and dependable are providing a space to dream in grand mystical ways, combining with the mystic in unexpected ways that are both practical and mysterious. What does that mean specifically?
Well there's the rub, here we are really talking about what we make of it. But if you want a touch more information we can look to yet another piece of this scenario- albeit on fascinating, brand spanking new edge of Astrology, this time dealing with a minor planet, very recently discovered named Ixion, who's namesake was the breaker of social taboos (killed his own kin and tried to seduce the wife of his host) and the father of the wild boundless and boundary less race, the Centaurs.
While I fully concur that it may be too soon to say with certainty the astrological meaning and reading of Ixion (as has been asserted by by many astrologers) I can not resist putting forward my own running theory on the general meaning of Ixion. The key for me is to look at that mythological story of Ixion, but then look at the last time this body transited into a new sign. In this case it transitioned from Scorpio, serious and dark, to Sagittarius light hearted, and it made its way through the Scorpio Sagittarius Cusp between 1992 and 1997.
This era marks the beginning of a new sensibility in comedy and the breaking of social mores, at least in terms of the mainstream and the over-all public opinion. It was during this time that the origins of Shows such as South Park, and Family Guy first begin to take hold. While there have always been important pop-cultural movements to break mores, one can see a distinct character difference between the Scorpio era and the new Sagitarian one, in which Scorpio is Typified by a darker, more serious, or more specifically politically driven push to break mores- especially in comedy (that great social more breaker) typified by an era of comedians such as George Carlin, and the Simpsons The new era brought us a breaking of mores for the simple joy of it under such pop culture manifestations as Family Guy, and South Park, both of which begin their formulations in one form or another in the very onset of this transition. Under Sagittarius there is a kind of joy to the breaching of more, for the sake of the breach of more.
So how does this matter? Well Ixion is also Quentil Neptune, implying another strange and dramatic magickal potential, between the power of breaking the rules and spiritual understanding...
Yes my friends, Whether the emperor has clothes it is most definitely time to Pants the Hierophant, Go sacred Cow tipping (but not real cows cause it hurts them) It is time to Tee-pee the temples of our assumptions to sanctify them with holey mirth all the while keeping strong step by step. It is time to nod to Oscar Wilde and take the frivolous seriously and the serious frivolously all the while leaving our heart open to the power that we free to dream when we have devoured old assumptions and visions, which are what the old rules are. Rules unconsidered deprive us from our own vital energies. The time comes to renew the Rules, so we grind them to the dust to reforge them. From Neptune comes all mystery, and thus great possibility, and between these three strange forces opportunity abounds!
