Neptune in Libra
Het Monster: Neptune in Libra Among people born between 1943 and 1957, some of you may now be reading this book as parents of teenagers. Many in their youth were swept up by the hippie movement and various countercultures, which dismantled the more disciplined ideals of service to society from previous years. You were born into a world that idealized and romanticized “traditional” relationships between men and women, but as you grew up, you witnessed the injustices and illusions of the “happy ever after” dream. The divorce rate skyrocketed, and the feminist movement became a high ideal for many of you.

The generation of 1942–1943, 1955–1957. Here, Neptune is in the domicile of Venus and Chiron, in the sign of Saturn’s exaltation, the Sun’s fall, the detriment of Mars and Pluto, and in the element of Air. In the house naturally ruled by Venus and in the domain of justice (Libra), Neptune brings the triumph of principles of social justice (for example, the Nuremberg Trials condemning fascism in 1943—a turning point in the Great Patriotic War, the Battle of Stalingrad. New international alliances (the UN)). This era saw the emergence of new states and new international law, the restoration of balance and justice in ideas, and the concept of mutual social responsibility.
In your personality, Neptune in Libra manifests as an intuitive sense of justice, peace, conformity, an instinct for communication, and a desire for an ideal partner in marriage. Due to the overestimation of a partner’s qualities, you often grow bored in marriage. You are characterized by intuitive harmony in communication with like-minded people. You particularly feel harmony in the formal arts. This generation produces good ideologists. In the worst case, you may justify any flaws and crimes with the letter of the law, exhibit extreme conservatism, resist change and reform, cling to stable relationships, and refuse to develop new ones, blindly adhering to dominant views.

The higher octave of Neptune in Libra offers the highest vision of world harmony and the highest synthesis; at this level, the answer to the question of the world’s structure and the laws of its evolution becomes clear, and the principle of the identity of the whole and the part (Atman and Brahman) is understood. However, to reach this level, one must abandon many habitual notions, particularly socially accepted ethics and aesthetics. Thus, the lower octave of Neptune in this sign manifests as the erosion of familiar concepts—the structures and ethical categories that were obvious and understandable to the previous generation are not so much denied by this generation as partially (sincerely) rejected or perceived entirely differently.
In defeat, spiritual degradation is possible (with the involvement of higher planets, entire nations may face degradation), major issues arise in instilling a sense of responsibility toward society, and a painful attitude develops toward (professionally necessary) lies of politicians, as well as discipline and violence in the army and police. This generation is heavily influenced by the collective unconscious, so aspects of Neptune to Uranus and especially Pluto will directly reveal trends in its development (for example, the sextile to Pluto in Leo conditioned the absence of major wars since 1945).

Chaos in marital relations, the devaluation of mutual obligations. The instinct for emotional and social adaptability can lead to the blind leading the blind. Dreamy and strongly connected to others, they have vague artistic concepts. They are prone to temptation and give the impression of uncertainty. A sense of material support from a partner is important. Blind adherence to dominant views leads to drug abuse, rock music, and psychedelic culture.
Positive aspects: intuitive preservation of social relations; the concept of mutual social responsibility is based more on inner meaning than on the letter of the law. The development of new art forms. You were born during a 14-year period when people shared a highly idealized understanding of universal brotherhood and global cooperation. These ideas, in particular, infused the peace and freedom movements. Your age group is also interested in spiritual philosophy and the cultural traditions of other peoples. You are free from religious dogmatism, absorbing various concepts. Your age group tends toward an eclectic approach, assimilating elements from many systems (for example, Eastern and Western). It is difficult for you to adhere to rigidly traditional religious practices. Trustfulness and indecisiveness make your age group easily deceived. As a result, many ideals and goals, conceived with the best intentions, end in complete failure due to a lack of clear purpose and direction. Possible illness: dropsy.

Your spiritual perception has a broad range but is not very independent, relying on societal stereotypes. You tend to see the sublime in moral and refined rituals.
