Neptune in Spirituality

For spiritual exemplars with strong Neptune placements, I’ll begin with Karol Wojtyla, Pope John Paul II (Figure 10), who has Midheaven conjunct Neptune and Jupiter, with Neptune right on the Midpoint of the other two (disappointment and premontiton of loss).

 

 

But here, again, I will say that Neptune conjunct Midheaven has far better potentials than the refusal, uncertainty, wrong ideas and falsehood that traditional interpretations suggest. However, what I am showing in this illlustration of John Paul II’s dial chart is the axis of Aries: how the native is seen in the world. See how Sun/Kronos, “father,” is precisely on Aries, and with Venus and Node, it’s both the fatherly love that he both bestowed upon the world and also the love that so many had for him. Note, in looking to the 22.30 point, that Neptune/Pluto = Mars in also in contact with Aries. The meaning given for that in “Rules” is “to work without planning, without using the head. An undertaking which has been rushed and set going without consideration. This may well reflect some of his wartime activities as a young priest in Poland, but might it not also be interpreted as the power of the native’s work spiritual work to affect the world in general?

 

The next example (Figure 11, above) is the Aries axis of The Dalai Lama, and as you can see, Mars/Neptune is precisely on that axis. If we moved the pointer just a little less than one degree counter-clockwise, the midpoint would shift to Midheaven/Ascendant and Node/Neptune. Knowing this man’s work in the world, it is obvious that we’d best concede a spiritual connotation to Mars/Neptune in reading his horoscope, and Chiron also in the picture suggests spiritual healing. As for the slight shift to Midheaven/Ascendant, his relationships to others are spiritual (Neptune) connections (Node).
