The Ceiling Flies Away Neptune Stations Direct for the New Moon in Sagittarius 2023

A WHITER SHADE OF PALE (Procol Harum)

https://youtu.be/St6jyEFe5WM?si=p5nMXaZmYkNF8B9n

Please get comfortable, put yourself in a state of ‘receiving’, meditate, pray and then play the song, read the following lyrics and my notes, insights.

Contemplate the words, the meaning, as they best sum up the times, we are all not living.

We skipped the light fandango

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away

When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason
And the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her beOne of sixteen vestal virgins (VIRGO/SEE BELOW)

Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,' 

(THE APOSTLES FISHING, NET WITH 154 FISH ‘PI’ PISCES OPPOSITE ~ VIRGO)

Though in truth we were at sea (THE WATERS BELOW: NEPTUNE: PISCES)

So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying, 'You must be the mermaid (MARY-MAIDEN: ‘for he hath regarded the lowliness of His handmaiden, and behold all generations shall call me blessed)

Who took Neptune for a ride.'

(NEPTUNE: ruler of PIsces and this AGE of Pisces)
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died (Formula for this time):

If music be the food of love

Then laughter is its queen
And likewise if behind is in front

(Things are reversed, just like the mirror, or a crystal ball that refracts an image upside down, look for yourself. It is something I noticed myself.  Also, see the ‘Hanged Man’ Tarot card, where he is upside down but enlightened.)

Then dirt in truth is clean

(We are all living through this ‘REVEALATIONS, where are own shadows are revealed to us, in layers, as Pluto transits Capricorn, and he retrogrades for reviewing what we did not fully comprehend or see.  The same is true as Neptune in PIsces, is finishing up the AGE of Her rulership, and retrogrades for our review, as the ILLUSIONS clear, the water is pulled back like a curtain, or an undertow depending on your perspective and experience.
Neptune just began to station direct on December 6^th after travelling back to 24*53’ PIsces.

My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed

Music and art is always speaking to us, often directly passed through spirit, through the conscious SEA in which we swim.  God speaks to us all the time, this is the house: Neptune (PIsces) rules art, music, spirituality, institutions, dreaming, and ILLUSIONS. (WE ARE ALL SWIMMING IN ILLUSIONS, that has the thinnest walls, and as people stick their head out of the waters, like ‘becoming LUCID’ in a DREAM ~ they see clearly if for only a moment, that may stretch into longer periods of LUCIDITY.  This is my own interpretation (in part) of the parable of Jesus walking on water.  He is ABOVE THE AGE OF ILLUSION, AS RULER OF THE AGE OF PISCES).

A miller is responsible for operating machinery that grinds malted barley and cereals, such as corn and rice, for use in making brew mash. They may also be responsible for other tasks such as loading wheat into the mill, inspecting the finished product, and troubleshooting equipment. A flour miller is responsible for operating the machinery that grinds wheat kernels into flour They may also be responsible for other tasks such as inspecting and maintaining machines, operating power equipment, and removing debris. ~Wiki

VI THE LOVERS

Procol Harum is an English rock band formed in Southend-on-Sea, Esse-x, in 1967.

(ESSENES/JESUS AND MARY/ESSENTIAL OILS) The name of the band is believed to be derived from the Latin phrase "procul harun", meaning "beyond these things". 

VESTAL VIRGINS

VIRGINS IS ‘VIRGO/MARY’

In ancient Rome, the Vestal Virgins or Vestals (Latin: Vestālēs, singular Vestālis [wɛsˈtaːlɪs]) were priestesses of Vesta, virgin goddess of Rome's sacred hearth and its flame.

The Vestals were unlike any other public priesthood. They were chosen before puberty from a number of suitable candidates, freed from any legal ties and obligations to their birth family, and enrolled in Vesta's priestly college of six priestesses. They were supervised by a senior vestal but chosen and governed by Rome's leading male priest, the Pontifex maximus; in the Imperial era, this meant the emperor.

Priesthoods with similar functions to the Vestals of Rome had an ancient and deeply embedded religious role in various surrounding Latin communities. According to Livy, the Vestals had pre-Roman origins at Alba Longa, where a virgin daughter of the king, forced by her usurper uncle to become a Vestal, miraculously gave birth to twin boys, Romulus and Remus. (GEMINI) The twins were fathered by Mars; they survived their uncle's attempts to kill them through exposure or drowning, and Romulus went on to found Rome. ~Wikipedia

Our world forever changed on another one of those pivotal dates: 9/11 we are now seeing a lot clearer, just how far those ramifications of that 'ritual majik' that took place, was leading, and we are not even there yet.  Now do you see?

Moving along, have you ever heard the term: ‘Virgin Earth/Soil’?

The meaning of VIRGIN SOIL is soil that has never been cultivated.

Neptune (Poseidon in Greek) has stationed direct, (December 6^th after travelling back to 24*53’ PIsces).  Sabian Symbol for this degree: Sabian Symbol: “The purging of the priesthood.” Interesting, since Neptune is the modern ruler of the 12^th house and PIsces, which in part, rules spirituality.

Neptune is the GREAT DISSOLVER, when we take a deeper look at just that word alone, we see: ‘Dis-SOLver’…Indeed, Rudhyar states this: "In this sense, Neptune dissolves all that once was made solid, limited, objective, safe by Saturnian boundaries and Saturnian rules.
Neptune is the ruler of the 12^th house, which is the ‘catch-all’ the end of the travels and last house of the zodiac wheel.  This is where we ‘finish’ karmic patterns or collect the rewards and deepen connections with the spiritual world.

However, for some as things are being revealed during these times, it has become all too much to handle, they have no scaffolding built, are not grounded enough, slippery ‘reality’ from all the water pouring into the sea of consciousness and the dissolving of boundaries, can feel like DROWNING.  They do not have enough discernment to keep things SEPARATED and ORDERED. 'Moses Parts the Sea'...we see apart.
Neptune’s version of safety is escapism or removing all boundaries and saying: “We’re all one”.  Though true, it leapfrogs out of the lessons of earth, and while it creates a sense of blissful beauty and truth, as the higher octave of Venus. This also dismisses the PATH OF LIFE ON EARTH, AND THE GLORY OF BIRTH, SACREDNESS OF THE BODY, THAT IS THE VESSEL TO HOLD BOTH HEAVEN AND EARTH and the miracle of the human body and LIFE.  IT DIS-SOLVES THE LAYERS OF MEANING, THE MYSTERY.

One of the most dangerous possibilities that Neptune/the 12^th house can open is addictions, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, etc.  Thus, we also see that drugs, pharmaceuticals and drug abuse are major issues right now.
We even have the saying, ‘take the red pill’ which I find laughable, and sad at the same time.  People watch a movie (also ruled by Neptune/12^th house) ‘The Matrix’ about getting caught in the ‘matrix’ and ‘waking up’ to see the truth beyond the ILLUSION, controlling reality rather than having reality control us, and partially the control that the media has over people.  Yet, this is THE MEDIA, THE MATRIX created by the same ‘control group/matrix’ and people repeat the line like lemmings.  Never questioning the idea of ‘taking a pill’ at all, never truly seeing past the ILLUSION.  Once again, just doing ‘what they are told’.  I can only shake my head.

So, as Neptune reaches moves forward, first slowly, she reviews the past and from when she first reached this degree before stationing retrograde, back on Mar 10, 2023.  Look back to that time, recall how you felt, the issues that may have come up, and prepare to perhaps do a better job of dealing with those issues, as Neptune is simply giving us more time to adjust to these new energies. 

Here, I remind you, that we are all here from many lifetimes, and March 10^th of 2023 (this year as of this writing) was when we were at the same degree of Neptune stationing direct. So, what we can now see, what we know, which we just weren’t quite conscious enough to see through the ILLUSIONS before ~ NOT LIKE WE ARE NOW, we are given a second chance to make different choices, decisions with this new perspicacity. 

Jul 1, 2023: 27°Pi41' R Neptune reached farthest degree, before stationing retrograde.  The farthest we have ever been in this lifetime.) everything is so new, to deal with, to comprehend, lessons that are up for us to learn, the culmination, the karma, and From now until Mar 26 2024, we travel that path again, into that territory, those channels, through those seas until Neptune once again reaches "27°Pi40'.

She MUST DIS-SOLVE TO BE ABLE TO REBUILD ANEW, FRESH START IN SPRING, ARIES.

So, I hope you can see, this is in large part, why things are too much for people now, along with Pluto reaching the anoretic degree of 29* Capricorn, where he too is taking us farther in this life, than we have ever been, and he was that far this spring too, before he entered Aquarius for the first time, on March 23^rd.

These two slow moving planets are evolutionary. 

The pressure they create, especially as they are aspected or other astrological aspects magnify their path when they are concurrently happening, people feel ‘ENDINGS’ whether consciously, or subconsciously.

Indeed, there are many things that are ENDING now, many ways that we are accustomed to, many SYSTEMS that are collapsing, shifting, and this of course, creates fear of the unknown.  How many times have I been asked; “When are things going back to NORMAL?”

Many of us grew up during a time where people spent their whole lives at one job and then retired from that job with a pension, investment/401K plan, healthcare, etc.  All of that is in jeopardy or flat out a thing of the past.

That is MAJOR and TRAMATIC for many people. 

I don’t have to go into detail about all the systems and lifestyles that are completely shifting.
We even went through a world-wide pandemic, Corona19.

I wrote an article called, ‘The Shift of the Balance of Powers’ on this very blog site, several years ago.

EVERYTHING IS CHANGING.

Pluto, ruler of death, has taken many lives.  Literally.

I once again, implore you to deepen the one thing that is ETERNAL.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP TO THE DIVINE, WHICH IS ONLY FOUND WITHIN.

You don’t have to go anywhere, we have the hardware built within us to meditate, to contemplate, to be in nature, to create or observe art, of any kind.  Whatever it is that moves you deeply…within…NATURALLY…go there, do that.

There is your INNER SPIRAL STAIRCASE to take to the ‘BRIDAL CHAMBER’.

Yes, the ‘ESSENE’ TIAL (essential) oils, blends, are wonderful tools for just this time. 
Dreaming, getting enough deep sleep is paramount.  Dream journaling is another wonderful tool, to help you and perhaps others, as those who have crossed over, can more easily reach us, with messages, clues, images, that can be helpful.  Use ArcoftheAncients, Sleep Angel roll on, or cream to help you.

Neptune retrograde in PIsces at 24°Pi53' and will reach 27*41’ PIsces again on Mar 26, 2024. Neptune will Retrograde back to "27°Pi07' before stationing direct on " Dec 8, 2024. This will once again, give us time to review all things Neptunian.  Look to your own chart by house and then aspect where Neptune resides.  Where is he transiting during this time?  This is how you have co-designed your own chart, to exhume what it is that is within you, what art, what creativity, spirituality is in ‘unfathomable’ depths for you to bring in the nets, into your ‘vessel’ your boat, and return to shore where the ‘Christed ONE’ awaits, your christening? 
The shore ~ is THE AGE OF AQUARIUS. (2026)

Venus left her rulership of Libra and entered Scorpio on December 4^th. That gives a new flavor to what we love, it is intensity, especially since the previous day she squared Pluto, both pushing those ending degrees, FINALITY, that may have also felt more like ‘FUTILITY’ for some.

On December 9^th in the morning hours, the Empress of the Nighttime sky catches up with her at 5*40’ Scorpio, and the two are opposing Jupiter in TAUrus who is retrograde (until the last day of this year) and at that day, at 6*22’ TAUrus.  These are both ‘fixed signs’ and that squares the other fixed signs, Aquarius and Leo. 
What are you building?  This can have some feeling ‘boxed in’ or ‘cornered’ since fixed signs by their very nature, do NOT WANT TO CHANGE.

THEY WANT THINGS TO STAY THE WAY THEY ARE, THAT IS WHY THEY PUT THEM IN THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

The good news there, is that Venus and Luna also formed a lovely trine to Saturn who is at 01*31’ PIsces.  That also means Saturn is forming a wide sextile to Jupiter in TAUrus.  That gives the mutable signs some stability (FINALLY), so Virgo, Gemini, Sag, PIsces, you are all being given some FOUNDATION, sort of A TEMPORARY STEP, Saturn is in PIsces after all, but Jupiter is the former or traditional ruler of PIsces, so that energy of JOY is there, that is HOPE, that is GRACE, MERCY, to tap into.

Ask for it! 

Uranus retrograde at 19* is forming a sextile to newly direct Neptune at 24* PIsces, and yes, it is wide, but it is still giving support to putting dreams into concretion.  This is why I am emphasizing paying attention to your DREAMS!

Neptune now in forward motion is moving closer to throwing a rope to Pluto in Capricorn, so there are good aspects, the heavens are giving us ways to avoid ‘dis-aster(stars)’ by ALIGNING WITH THEM

On December 12^th at 2:09’ AM, Mercury begins to station retrograde at

at 08*24’ Capricorn. So, you may already be feeling this, with things getting squirrely, car or computer acting up, plans changing, etc.

Good time to rewire and repair, to review and revise plans and agreements.

Especially as hours later, at 6:31PM, we have the new moon at 20* Sagittarius.

(I am already counting down the days until the Winter Solstice on the 21^st when the sun ‘dies’ for three days, to rise again in the 25^th and give us incrementally more daylight, day by day.

This new moon does square Neptune, so once again, we get ELUSIVE and ILLUSORY energy playing with us.  Return and reread the beginning to see the WAY THROUGH.

There is no question the end of this year is going to be tumultuous, all we have to do is look at what the planet is doing, she is vomiting up blood and guts in many volcanoes erupting, earthquakes, storms, and the less we deal with out own wounds, shadows, and get real (see last post) taking precious care of ourselves, as best we can, rest when we can, if you have no alternative but to drive, turn something on the radio that is healing, or that helps, whatever that is for you. 

As always, we close the year out in Capricorn, and with Pluto in the last degrees as previously mentioned, Cardinal signs, continue to be revolutionized, evolved, past their previous comfort levels, in this TRANSFORMATION AND REBIRTH.  YES, IT IS ENDINGS.  THERE IS NOTHING SHORT OF RISING FROM THE ASHES, but you have the eclipses in Aries/Libra and Pluto entering Aquarius next January yes, but that TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE APRIL 8TH NEXT YEAR, is a milestone, until we reach that point, for ANY OF US, we don't have a clue what is going to go down.
I was reminded by my higher self as I was tapping into the shifting sea of consciousness, that the ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, and he is CHANGE, OUT OF THE BLUE, CHANGE.  THERE IS NO TELLING WHERE WE ARE GOING BUT IF YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE, YOU HAVE NO ONE TO BLAME BUT YOURSELF AND NOW IS THE TIME TO DO THE WORK, TO DIVINE.
In the last blog, I also shared the 'two slit experiment' that shows CONSCIOUS OBSERVATION CHANGES THE PATH OF THE PARTICLE.  NOT IGNORING WHAT IS HAPPENING AS SOME FALSE TEACHERS SAY, ENLIGHTENMENT IS LIGHTING UP THE MIND AND SEEING.
Don't go back to sleep.  AWAKEN.

We will go out of this year with a bang…that is certain.

Months away from the FINAL GATEWAY OF THE GREAT USA FIRE PYRAMID ECLIPSE CYCLE
Jesus, ABOVE THE AGE OF ILLUSION, CAN WALK ON WATER.  RAISE THE DEAD/LAZARUS FROM ETERNAL SLEEP.  WILL YOU BE RAISED BY CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS, OR DROWN LIKE PETER, WHO CANNOT HOLD THE 'CURRENT' OF TRUTH?  PEOPLE STEAL, NOT REALIZING THEY ARE COMMANDING THE UNIVERSE, DESTROYING THE VESSEL.
