2° Neptune in Taurus. Rise and fall. Danger of drowning or experiencing a shipwreck (P. Globa). Danger of death, critical point, love for art. In case of damage—collapse, catastrophe. Venus degree (J. Kepler). “Mumps epidemic.” — Spread of an individual crisis within a collective. Infectious dissemination of personal experience. Constructive outcome of life’s inconveniences in the development of societal values. Sensitivity to one’s own processes. Abstraction from the external (D. Rudhyar). “Useless.” Indicates a person prone to fluctuations. Lacking confidence in oneself and others, though striving to create the opposite impression. Great artistry (B. Israel). Danger of drowning or falling victim to a shipwreck (O. Troyanovsky). Neptune degree. Degree of emigration. Rise and fall, contrasts and imbalance. In the worst case (under a T-square configuration)—violent death, especially by drowning, danger of drowning or sudden death (Thebeotic Calendar). Mercury degree. “A parchment scroll, just slipping from the hands of a dying scholar, impatiently snatched up by a renowned professor; triumph is written on the professor’s face.” — Indicates whether one’s childhood is at risk, yet in later years they will become the possessor of real secrets uncovered by another person, which, however, they themselves have long sought. Upon receiving them, such a person claims the discovery as their own, thus gaining reputation and further professional success. This triumph may endure until their last breath, after which they learn what, despite all their erudition, they never truly understood—and then what they did in the past will force them to repent in the future. This is the symbol of Insincerity (I. Kosminsky).
