NEPTUNE
by Vivian Carol (1982)
I weep but you cannot see my
tears;
Neither can you see the cause.
I cry for humanity and the
poverty stricken
spirit,
the transient soul of man
And his tragic, searing loneliness.
For aeons the desolate have
clustered for
protection from the dark caverns of isolation.
And first one...then
another...breaks
away from the crowd in disillusioned despair.
Because even the banter and clatter
of
many cannot camouflage the inner sense of aloneness that each one knows
but only a few can acknowledge.
And I weep for myself --
Because I am not I --
I am only a minute particle of a
living
cell. What you think you see of me is merely a thinly woven cloak
of human pretense.
It is fragile and so much more
easily
shattered than you know.
I can mimic life but I don't live
as you.
I float through time translucent,
As I float in and out of your soul.
When you share yourself with me I
exist;
I have purpose and consciousness.
When you refuse, I am fractured and
scattered
into little more than cosmic dust, searching for a home.
I want so much to protect you
from all
pain,
Yet I am so weak that I cannot bear
the
weight of our sorrow.
And so I mourn,
A futile but human-like condition
that
we can share.
I am a part of each soul that
will have
me.
And I cannot exist without You.
I breathe only if You breathe.
And I die when you die.
My name is NEPTUNE.
I am COMPASSION.
If you will have me, then you must cry too.

For all Signs: Saturn, ruler of the status quo, is in dramatic tension with Uranus, planet of change and even rebellion. These are powerhouse planets with diametrically opposed energies. The resulting stress has been building for a year and will continue to the end of 2010. It is ironic that the mathematically precise point of this opposition occurs on the US Election Day. Uranus' qualities are very similar to the mythic Prometheus, who is said to have stolen fire from the gods in order to assist humanity to a higher level of consciousness and better life. Saturn rules the authoritarian tradition, the status quo. If we consider the global issues around us, it seems as though the only real solutions could be from out of this world or beyond the comprehension of most of us on the planet. How is fire explained to someone who has never seen or felt it? Yet Prometheus defies all authority to bring this gift to humanity and His time is Now. See next week for how this aspect may affect each of us as individuals.
Bailout notes:
Oct. 8, 2008 It is heartbreaking to watch the markets crumble and financial institutions all over the globe in panic. It is even worse because we know Mercury is retrograde and the broadcasted information was misleading at best, deceitful at worst. There will be no end to time spent in Congress trying to repair the damage done during the last two weeks.
Oct. 1, 2008 Special bailout event paragraph for all signs (parts are from last week [Sep 24], with a number of additions):
Mercury is retrograde, Folks. Mars and Saturn are in a tense position as well (see above). This could not possibly be a worse time for negotiating anything, and particularly not favorable for making far-reaching decisions. We are told that a congressional decision in favor of bailout must be made ASAP. How about the third week in October instead? And even that would likely be altered later-- if it is not too late. Decisions made while Mercury retrograde are often based on inadequate information at best; or outright deceit at worst. I cannot believe that congress has the whole story. It may look like astrological superstition, but in my 35 years of experience of observation, it is not a good idea to make such major decisions during Mercury retrogrades.
Every astrologer has been expecting a major global overhaul of all corporate bodies because Pluto is moving into Capricorn. Please see my Annual article for 2008 for predictions. But I must confess I did not really believe things would become this catastrophic, so soon in the process of Pluto changing signs. (And somehow I sense that the panic has more to do with the upcoming election than with the banks.)
When I published the article on Pluto in January 7, I had to fight the inner impulse to urge people to get out of the markets. After all, I don't want to be a contributor to the general fear that I knew would be in motion by 2009. Now I wish I had managed to find some way to hint at getting out of the market. The issue is that the markets are based upon the belief of the people. The volatility was predictable because our beliefs are being manipulated.
It is imperative that everyone review their history books on the subject of fascism. If you won't do that, at least look it up on Wikipedia. We may be seeing the dawn of failed democracy and the rise of fascism before us this very week. If you think "fascist" is too extreme, then read your dictionary. You will find statements like: "Fascist governments nationalized key industries and made massive state investments." (Wikipedia.org, article on "fascism")
Here is one way a country becomes a fascist dictatorship: Economic troubles develop and a panic is generated by the government It is intended to terrify the populace. We, the populace, give up our rights and our personal judgment out of fear of the threatened catastrophe. A new arrangement of the presiding government is given carte blanche (the blank check) to solve the problems and return us to normalcy. (Once given that kind of ultimate power, they will never, ever, relinquish it voluntarily and no one can force them to surrender it, short of a revolution.) The next thing on the agenda is to drive the current monetary system into bankruptcy, so that the "new" regime must change the currency altogether. In coups of history, the new currency pays pennies on the dollar and then only the elite have money. The middle class disappears and poverty is rampant. This situation has been developing for at least 10 years, but it is only just now becoming apparent to the populace for what it is. That is the nature of Pluto---to shine a light on the dirt in the corners.
The aspects in the sky are closely akin to aspects that were prominent in the Great Depression. This is the first time they have occurred since that time. The bailout was intended to avert a depression, but its effect would probably be generate rampant inflation. Those who recall the 70's know how that feels, watching helplessly as the dollars buy less every week.
We are weenies where financial belt tightening is concerned. The time is here--now. Whether we "bail" and then watch the dollar drained of value, or skip the bail and go right to the depression, cosmic energies are what they are. The message is to rein in our appetites. It may be the only way our collective society will do so is to generate a depression. I wish we had more self control than that, but it appears we do not.
Individuals can often stem the tide for themselves, but a massive populace has an almost impossible task to avoid the collective train wreck.
My greatest fear is that we will inadvertently allow this country to evolve into a fascist system while calling itself a savior to the people. When the country nationalizes huge segments of our industry and products, we are running dangerously close. That is a far worse train wreck than a depression.
