Misunderstanding…Delusion…Deception…Confusion…
Which will lead you to…eventually…
Acceptance…Revelation…Illumination!
Yes, that’s right; it is another “Through the Looking Glass” moment when Mercury and Neptune stand opposite one another. Only this time you are really going to be “challenged” (and have a wonderful opportunity); with Mercury turning retrograde next week, this opposition is going to occur 3 times in the next 40 days! That’s a lot of Delusion/Confusion as well as Illumination to deal with!
Mercury rules your mind (manas), your intellect, powers of perception, analysis and comprehension, as well as your faculties of communication. Neptune is one of the Great Three, the Avatars from the Beyond, truly gifts from the gods, whose purpose is to reveal (re-veil) the multi-dimensional universe, the “Multiverse”, that you really move through.
You had a similar encounter within yourself back around June 3 when Mercury Squared Neptune. This time the drama of Hermes and Poseidon will play out more externally, seemingly between you and another (or others). That’s the way it is with an opposition, the quickening of your awareness is elicited by the juxtaposition of one consciousness to another.
You may find yourself in a particular misunderstanding that mushrooms between you and another, or you will realize each of you have been making an incorrect assumption about one another for some time…or you that you have stumbled into a situation of deliberate deception. (But, spiritually, it is true, that all deception is ultimately the product of self-deception).
But of course, as in all things, the real opposition, confrontation and opportunity will take place within you; it is really between your more limited awareness versus your ever unfolding potential for a greater awareness. Remember, there is nothing to fear; you have been through this many times before; and there are many more steps you must take as you become the becoming…
Your unfoldment proceeds from one level of consciousness to another; at each level you will eventually move from certainty, to doubt, to confusion…Treasure that, for it is that confusion which is your gateway for the release from the lesser reality; it is that letting go of the old certainty that you were attached to that makes possible a re-imagination and movement into a greater, more encompassing consciousness.
So Neptune serves you now as The Illuminator, who comes along to help you re-connect to your transcendent, intuitive mind, your Buddhi Mind, and so frees you, for a time, from your more limited, dualistic lower mind; Poseidon takes you into his “sea of mirrors”, into a portion of The Multiverse, so that you may see the reflections of reflections of reflections, the wonder that is Life-Consciousness-Spirit.
You will emerge out of the waters renewed, restored and humbled by the majesty of creation which you have just, even for a moment, felt yourself to be one with.
This is the Truth that you are moving towards, slowly, surely but not yet able to hold.
