Neptune-Square Chiron

(Transit. Neptune → Natal Chiron)

Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects

Neptune’s semisquare: The Sleeping Beauty needs no proof of the existence of witches. This is a dangerous aspect, as on a low level the person in the areas of the Planet is constantly under close attention of rigid egregores and lower astral entities; if Neptune is afflicted, enchantments, curses, and other manipulations are possible, as well as artificial limitations on the mobility of the astral body, which in ordinary language means emotional rigidity, restricted range of emotional and essential understanding, and a rigid fixation on those phenomena and moments accessible to the person. If these relate to socially accepted and normalized areas (a harmonious Planet), people will say about such an individual “a bit strange,” “eccentric,” etc.; but if the person focuses on socially unaccepted phenomena, typical when the Planet is afflicted, they may advance quite far in their meditations and perceive things inaccessible to others (see things inaccessible to others). They will lack an adequate language, but these experiences will largely dominate their attention and may prevent them from returning to the world of ordinary perceptions—externally this appears as mental illness, and doctors struggle to treat such individuals with psychotropic drugs, being unable to help them understand the nature of subtle realms and the entities inhabiting them. Satisfactory and vivid flow of their meditations will not lead to success in this case. Chiron’s semisquare: When diving into the unknown, wear an aqua-lung. This aspect gives in the areas of the Planet a somewhat coarse sense of humor and confidence in the non-standard and original nature of one’s approaches, as well as the ability to find a way out of any dead end. In reality, unfortunately, this is not always true, and a clever, humorous invention often turns out to be shallow and ineffective, but on a low level the person ignores this or considers it a mere coincidence. Chiron remains true to himself: here he offers structures and methods that must be deciphered by viewing them from an unconventional and barely conceivable perspective, which in this case means (among other things) from the viewpoint of another person or an egregore. Until the person does this, they will constantly encounter dead ends in the areas of the Planet (especially if Chiron is afflicted), along with associated viewpoints of the person, acquaintances, trusted and effective methods, which in reality turn out to be quite different—but one must be able to see this. Harmonious Chiron and the Planet will significantly soften the negative effects of the semisquare, and the methods the person uses in the Planet’s sphere will appear witty and constructive, but still, without thorough work and attention deliberately directed toward other people, they will possess significant hidden flaws that will inevitably manifest in crude ways over time.
