Quincunx Neptune – Chiron
(Transit. Neptune → Natal Chiron)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Quincunx of Neptune: It is not necessary to be good—it is enough to be honest and attentive. This aspect brings into the spheres of the planet the influence of cosmic love, which a person at a low level often perceives negatively. Modern civilization is such that even earthly forces pushing a person toward evolutionary development are perceived by them primarily as evil, and conscious spiritual development is often undertaken by those who have hit a dead end in all other areas. Therefore, high Cosmic vibrations in the spheres of the planet mean for a person either incomprehensible changes in consciousness (transcendental meditations) or life turns that are impossible to understand without a clear mind. The latter, however, will lower the level of cosmic meditation to an earthly, comprehensible, and even almost ecstatic one. In the event of Neptune’s defeat in the spheres of the planet, irrational feelings of cosmic guilt may arise, usually repressed, as well as internal conflict due to the discrepancy between ideas about cosmic and earthly grace, mercy, and compassion, since the Cosmos is more interested in the evolution of the spirit, while people are mainly limited to the physical, etheric, and astral bodies and happily ignore the laws of karma altogether. To overcome the contradiction between earthly and cosmic Neptunian influences, a person must learn to see karma, adopt a cosmic point of view, and only then try to align earthly karma with higher influences. To do this, in the spheres of the planet, they must first rid themselves of constant petty lies and self-deception, which mask the safe.
Cosmic love does not so much soften suffering as shorten it, directing it along more constructive paths for a person.
Quincunx of Chiron: One should wash their hands before playing with words. This aspect brings into the spheres of the planet a peculiar sense of humor with a cosmic tint; in fact, viewing earthly relationships from a cosmic perspective provides ample reason for genuine laughter (or just as genuine tears). At a low level, the aspect will manifest in the fact that a person in the spheres of the planet will constantly shift between earthly and cosmic views, throwing their psyche into chaos and turning constructive progress into wandering through dead ends. Admittedly, each of these dead ends will be short-lived, but the person will fail to find a satisfactory way of behavior, and most importantly, they will never understand the meaning of the difficulties that arise, their general origin, or their cause. The karmic task of this aspect is to find in the spheres of the planet an unexpected way of seeing that aligns cosmic and earthly karma, and then the dead ends of development that seemed lifeless for years will open up. For example, the quincunx Chiron–Pluto, when worked through, provides an opportunity to find a channel of cosmic purification acceptable from the point of view of earthly karma—that is, relatively painless and not creating great tension or karmic knots. However, to achieve this, a person must first reach such a level of mastery over their subconscious and its purity that Pluto will recognize them as capable. At an average level, this quincunx gives black humor with a cosmic tint and an overall backdrop of complete hopelessness, which must be learned to overcome and transform in order not to fall into the impasse of black teaching of a nihilistic type.
