Neptune in astrological series

Everything has a way, like a dream, like a bubble, like dew, like electricity, so look at it this way. -Diamond Sutra

Neptune, the eighth planet in the solar system. In terms of color, she is the closest to the color of the earth's oceans. The original astronomical telescope could only see a small sphere of ocean color, which may be the original reason why it was named Neptune. Galileo first discovered this star in 16 12, when it was in phase with Jupiter (0) and Uranus (90). Due to the limitation of meteorological conditions and observation conditions, great scientists just regarded her as a star and did not study it in depth, so Neptune was missed. It was not until 1846 that this star was calculated by the French astronomy teacher Levi and was discovered on September 23 of the same year. When this star was named, Neptune and Saturn formed a conjunction in Aquarius, which means that this star was officially listed as a planet by the Astronomical Society.

Neptune was discovered in the middle of19th century. The global pattern is undergoing drastic changes, and emerging maritime countries are experiencing or have completed the industrial revolution. Relying on strong productive forces and rapidly developing science and technology, groups of missionaries and businessmen went out to sea by steamboat to promote teachings and commodities to all countries in the world. The old dynasty was suffering from the crisis of being carved up, and was forced to be involved in the whirlpool of the industrial age to seek self-help and fight against western aggression and commodity dumping. Whether people like it or not, Neptune, like a huge tide, pushes all countries in the world to actively or passively integrate into the wave of globalization, becoming similar or even becoming a whole, with far-reaching influence. Technology and invention not only expanded the scale and variety of trade, but also accelerated the circulation of goods and quickly occupied the global market. Empire of the Sun introduced English to the world and later became an international lingua franca beyond national languages. Our planet has become a global village in today's world. With the help of Internet media and efficient transportation, the process of global integration is deepening, and the cultural and institutional differences are gradually disappearing. People realize that they are earthlings, and they need to respect each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, and abandon some old concepts and methods, so as to protect the ecological environment of the earth and safeguard its security and harmony. Neptune guides us to put aside our personal persistence and personal trust and make complete sacrifices for the same part and the ultimate ideal.

Neptune not only forces the world's civilizations to merge into a whole, but also touches on the development of mankind in various fields. For example, in the medical field, just seven days after the discovery of Neptune, American doctor William Thomas Morgan used ether as an anesthetic for the first time to extract teeth from patients and succeeded. In addition, the birth and application of hypnosis make medical scientists begin to explore areas beyond human consciousness, which is helpful to the research and development of psychology. In terms of science and technology, 1847 February, Neptune, which was designated as a planet, approached the sun for the first time, and Edison was born. This unprecedented great inventor brought a new experience of sound and photoelectricity, not only invented the phonograph, made the camera, but also made the earliest sound film system. Relying on science and technology, human beings have preserved sounds and images in an unprecedented way, which not only created a new art category, but also promoted the diversification of media forms and created technical conditions for spreading cultures and information around the world.

From 1847, when Neptune entered Pisces, to 1860, when he left, a whole period of 14 years witnessed the birth of many theories and hypotheses, among which Marx's Das Kapital and Darwin's theory of biological evolution were the most influential. These two works were the discoveries and summaries of scientific laws and predicted the future development of mankind from different angles. In addition, from 65438 to 1970s, Neptune entered Taurus, and an epoch-making school-Impressionism was born in the field of painting. A large number of artists, such as Monet, Lei Nuowa, Manet, Gauguin and Cezanne, have emerged, which have given birth to impressionist music, impressionist literature, impressionist criticism, impressionist photography and impressionist movies, greatly enriching the artistic forms. It can be seen that Neptune's influence on film and television art, theoretical conception and modern medical care is enormous, far-reaching and predictable. If Uranus is to promote local revolution, inspire new inventions and discoveries, and strive for freedom, equality and independence by relying on human strength, then Neptune is to refine Uranus' energy into theories and ideas, and push it in a deeper and wider direction, like a tsunami, erasing the color of individuality, eroding parts and melting into the chaos of the whole.

In real life, most people tend to use logical thinking to keep communication smooth. But in the field of art or investment, intuition and instinctive reaction of consciousness are easier to be called. This instinct is very primitive, reflecting the unconscious state of human beings and the hazy state of human beings at the beginning of evolution. This state is like a fertilized egg in the mother. Our unconscious is a treasure house in the process of evolution, which can only be obtained by indirect means such as dreams, free association, drunken words and deeds, hypnotic suggestions, and actions in an unguarded state. The methods to explore the deeper collective unconsciousness are also extremely limited. Many inspirations and epiphanies are not obtained by logic, but by leaps and bounds. When this ability is manifested in a practical way, such as a certain theoretical trend of thought, art form, religious ceremony, etc., which causes public response and forms a trend of collective unconsciousness, Neptune's energy will be stimulated, resulting in a group chain effect. Usually, just feeling the existence of this energy is already great. Most people ignore the unconscious reaction and don't understand why we can't help saying a word or doing something. Most people can't really understand the unconscious, because it's hard for us to put aside the unconscious, risk being misunderstood to explore the unconscious, and can't really accept what the unconscious presents. The power of Neptune is beyond human control. In order to get inspiration and imagination, many people try to create hallucinations and delusions through various addictive substances, and eventually they are swallowed up by these substances and go to a state of self-destruction. Perhaps, we can first enter the state of meditation, eliminate the illusion, return to the original state, achieve the unity of body and mind, the unity of man and me, and even the unity of heaven and man, and then turn into the stage of no-self, no-human, and no-life, and finally achieve emptiness and completely liberate the mind.
