Jupiter Sextile Neptune (June 8, 2011)

Anoth­er entry from my Overview of 2011 in which I said this:

The cycle of Jupiter and Nep­tune is about 12 to 13 years long. Their last con­junc­tion was dur­ing 2009. With Jupiter pro­vid­ing the prin­ci­ples to guide our rela­tion­ships, the align­ment to Nep­tune in Aquar­ius cre­at­ed a renewed sen­si­bil­i­ty of com­mu­ni­ty and com­pas­sion. It was no acci­dent that the biggest push to uni­ver­sal health care in the US was attempt­ed dur­ing this time.

Now at the wax­ing sex­tile on June 8, 2011 the more prac­ti­cal work­ing out and man­i­fes­ta­tion of this impulse is seen. What were once inti­ma­tions, ideas and pro­pos­als have become real pat­terns of how we now see we must relate to one anoth­er. There is a sense that we have come to under­stand that fol­low­ing the path of truth requires that we must con­duct our affairs with tol­er­ance, com­pas­sion and for­give­ness. This under­stand­ing will be chal­lenged, and we will have to choose which path to fol­low, a year lat­er, in June 2012, when our present beliefs and dreams about our future face a test.

I would add that this benef­ic align­ment of Jupiter (Principles/Truth) with Nep­tune (Imagination/Faith) cre­ates an oppor­tu­ni­ty for you to more clear­ly see the won­drous process where­by your under­stand­ing of Truth unfolds and grows into Wis­dom through your Imag­i­na­tion and Faith.

Your jour­ney to a greater truth is a process known as Rev­e­la­tion, where­in each lev­el of truth is super­seded by a greater lev­el of under­stand­ing. And that lev­el is even­tu­al­ly super­seded by a deep­er, more encom­pass­ing under­stand­ing that fol­lows. Through each stage you must have Faith and use your Imag­i­na­tion to let go of a less­er under­stand­ing and move to greater Truth. This jour­ney, this growth, is the nev­er-end­ing Song of Spirit.

The ear­li­er, less­er stages of Principles/Truth were not wrong; they were mere­ly the lev­el at which your con­scious­ness could com­pre­hend your real­i­ty. But as you grow in spir­i­tu­al matu­ri­ty and respon­si­bil­i­ty you must lift up your spir­i­tu­al aware­ness by dis­solv­ing (Nep­tune) your old belief bound­aries (Jupiter).

This ser­i­al tran­scen­dence of the famil­iar can, at times, pro­duce doubts and fears as you seek to find your way. But today you are at ease and com­fort­ed by Jupiter and Nep­tune in their har­mo­nious align­ment. Today you have proof that you are becom­ing more aware.

Today cel­e­brate your life which is this jour­ney; this delight­ful, nev­er-end­ing dance of Truth and Faith.
