#astrology from #ianwood

#Vedic #Astrology assigns deities to #planets, and according to the #ancient #palm #leaf called Vasistha Nadi, the names of the grahas or planets (yet to be discovered) would be #Prajapati ( #Uranus), #Varuna ( #Neptune), and #Yama ( #Pluto). As Neptune is moving from #Aquarius to Pisces, we focus on the effects of Neptune, with Varuna as Presiding Deity.

Varuna Peyarchi: Neptune to Pisces
On 18-19 February 2023, Neptune transited from Aquarius to Pisces and is currently sandhi 0.00° Pisces (deprived of energy) where it will remain for a little more than three weeks. Sandi means “deprived of energy” so the effect of Neptune moving to Pisces will not be pronounced for some time.

As referenced earlier, we look to outer planets when they change signs. Neptune has capacity for non-attachment, infinite love and beauty, charity, altruism, bliss and rapture, and awareness of divinity, transcendence of duality.

Neptune likes to transcend, to merge, to flow, to melt, to yield. Neptune can accept changes, allow a changing environment, and can love selflessly and impersonally. This is an important capacity of Neptune, for most young people and youth take love as a matter of possession and territory – possession of someone’s mind, and territory of their body. Nothing could be further from love. Dreams of love and idealism, infatuation and attachment all have to have both feet on the ground and squarely detached with your own boundaries intact around YOU.

Neptune is traditionally seen as the planet that imagines, envisions, dreams and inspires. While Neptune offers all that, and more: to fantasize, to heighten, one has to keep their feet on the ground or end up helpless, spaced out, dissolving into chaos, and prey to drugs and the unconscious mind. One can self-destruct, abdicate all responsibility and end up sabotaging themselves. While Neptune – always near the Collective Unconscious – offers access to the psychic realms, and psi experiences – these can all be achieved with self discipline, self-control and self-respect. Psychedelic drugs and the like are not necessary to achieve this. You can reach the same high meditating as those people who tell they get a high using bongs.

What will Neptune’s transit in Pisces bring? One would hope for a gentler, kinder, more spiritually inspired world. However, this is not historically what we have seen before. Neptune represents secret plots, rebellions, and sedition, and Neptune in Pisces will be a time of tremendous idealism associated with an urge to dissolve tired old paradigms and world views in favour of a more charitable universal vision. We live in an era where significant changes have taken place (our great-grandparents would not recognise our modern, electronic world – except, perhaps, for the radio and print news. So much has changed with living, co-habitation, housing, working, travel, child-care centres and the gig economy.

Pisces is a water sign, a moksha sign, and harbours great spiritual awareness, creative achievement, and compassionate action. But when disconnected from the All, from peers, society and culture, in its lower expression, Pisces has a tendency for escapism, deception, and delusion. This is the signification of the fish going in two directions, we can pull towards separation and duality, we can pull towards the experience of everything is Atma, and the lifting of the veil of illusion.

#Neptune in #Pisces provides the impetus towards transcendence of duality, unity consciousness, surrender and non-attachment. So Neptune in Pisces seeks to transcend, to merge, to surrender, to sacrifice, to let go and let God. On the other hand, Neptune seeks to dream, to inspire, to glamorise, to idealise, to imagine, to envision, to fantasise, to intuit, to enchant, to beguile. In summary, the positive benefits of Neptune are accessed when we are grounded and following dharma.
About #Lord #Varuna
Lord Varuna
Lord Varuna is revered in Hinduism as the God of water and his sway extends to the underwater world. The Hindu Goddess Varuni is his consort and a Makara serves as his mount. According to the Puranas, he is the son of sage Kashyapa and one of the twelve Gods considered as Adityas, owing to their origin from the Mother of Gods, Aditi. Varuna possesses the lordship of the waters and was entrusted with the task of overseeing the clouds and rains. He is thus known as the king of waters and controls the Oceans, Seas, Rivers, and all other water bodies. During the Mahabharata period, the great Pandava, Arjuna was hailed as the son of Lord Varuna. It is also widely believed that praying to him protects us from thunder and lighting.

Om, Let us meditate on the reflection of water
O person of ocean blue, give me higher intellect
And let the God of water illuminate my mind

during the eclipse. #Uranus made an appearance, too. The 7th #planet from the #sun is #blue, and its #azure disk popped out from behind the #Moon during the #eclipse. Bum-Suk Yeom sends this picture from Iksan, #SouthKorea:

"I used a 150 mm refractor to catch Uranus emerging from the shadowed edge of the Moon," says Yeom.

Ths was the end of a lunar occultation of Uranus visible from parts of North America and Asia. Normally, the faint planet would be hard to see near the edge of a full Moon, but Earth's shadow darkened the lunar disk enough for easy visibility.

WEBB PHOTOGRAPHS #NEPTUNE'S #RINGS: The James Webb Space Telescope has just captured the clearest view of Neptune’s rings in more than 30 years. NASA relased the new image on Sept. 21st:

"It has been three decades since we last saw these faint, dusty rings, and this is the first time we’ve seen them in infrared light," notes Heidi Hammel, an interdisciplinary scientist for Webb. Some of the rings have not been detected since NASA’s Voyager 2 became the first spacecraft to observe Neptune during its flyby in 1989.

The rings of Neptune, like those of #Uranus, are thought to be relatively young; their age is significantly less than that of the #SolarSystem. They were likely created by the collisional fragmentation of onetime inner moons and are made of extremely dark organic compounds processed by radiation.

Webb also captured seven of Neptune’s 14 known #moons. Dominating this Webb portrait of Neptune is a very bright point of light radiating diffraction spikes seen in many of Webb's images, but this is not a star. Rather, this is Neptune’s large and unusual moon, #Triton.

....a powerful #lunar #eclipse cardinal t square, to come this autumn
the full moon total eclipse with #uranus and square #saturn, loaded with powerful star alignments..looks like a game changer...eclipses usually brings things to a head
...the old(saturn) and new(uranus) are eternally at odds, one creates the other, so it is with opposites..libra is the 3rd arm, balance..energetic eclipse
..nov 8th, date of u.s. midterm vote
for this event the #sun will be conjunct orange alpha libra star ZUBENELGENUBI and parallel white star #SIRIUS...Moon will be parallel white star ALHENA
.. #mars will be parallel the #PLEIADES and out of bounds
..uranus, with the moon, continues in alignment with red MENKAR
...saturn parallel DENEB ALGEDI, and SIRIUS
..all in all a mix of good and bad
