Semi-Sextile Uranus – Neptune
(Transit Uranus → Natal Neptune)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Semi-Sextile Uranus: the Apocalypse is not quite the right definition. Cosmic. This is a difficult aspect to process (here Uranus is decadent), but most often it manifests in minor, fleeting flashes of cosmic inspiration that a person pays no attention to. A strong activation of Uranus can trigger this semi-sextile, and then the person finds themselves under the strong influence of a cosmic egregore, usually being unprepared for it. If the semi-sextile connects Uranus with a planet of the fourth level, it signifies a sudden activation of cosmic karma, and the person is drawn into a current over which they have no control and usually do not understand what is happening—here, only humility and a higher spiritual orientation can help. If, however, the active semi-sextile involves Uranus with a lower planet, one can attempt to rise to the level of cosmic perception of what is happening in its spheres, and then the signs of fate may speak in a language that is not entirely human but comprehensible to the person. In this case, the Uranian crisis can be overcome, and sometimes even deciphered and practically realized in the form of excessive Uranian revelations; fortunately, they rarely take the form of direct blows of fate, but with a strong defeat of Uranus, a brief but complete departure beyond the limits of earthly perception is possible, which externally resembles madness.
Semi-Sextile Neptune: My head spins from the Earth’s rotation. This is an aspect of great mystics and spiritual teachers who guide the evolution of humanity in accordance with cosmic karma. Sometimes such teachers lead these programs while remaining in secluded monasteries and ashrams in relatively pure places on Earth, such as high in the mountains, and sometimes they incarnate in “civilized” countries and even large cities; then their rational consciousness and perception are artificially narrowed, and they fulfill high cosmic programs without even realizing it, simply in the course of their lives, which is largely determined by major aspects of the horoscope. Sometimes rational consciousness is turned off, and the person experiences visions of cosmic plans and flows that they barely understand, but such elevated meditations play a significant, though unclear, role in their inner life. On a low level, this aspect gives periodic distortions of earthly vision, which do not cause the person much trouble until they insist on them and try to rationalize or use them for selfish purposes, such as lower-order gratification. For profaning high and harmonious cosmic flows of the semi-sextile, a person is held accountable by the corresponding extraterrestrial egregore, whose ethics may diverge sharply from earthly ethics, and the most common abuses here are drug addiction or hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital with a diagnosis of “schizophrenia,” which often precisely indicates (not necessarily of Neptune). Cosmic flows, even harmonious ones, are very harsh for a person, but just as the Earth’s aura and atmosphere protect a person from cosmic radiation in the physical sense of these words, in the spheres of the semi-sextile, a breakthrough occurs, usually minor but often with far-reaching consequences.
