Neptune Trine Chiron
(Transit Neptune → Natal Chiron)
Avesalom Podvodny. Aspects
Neptune trine: Understanding another begins with understanding their mistakes. This is an aspect of happiness, understanding, mild deception, and happy self-deception, which karmically leads to far less pleasant consequences, but under the guidance of planets more certain than Neptune. Here, interpretation largely depends on the level of development of Neptune’s principles, particularly the level of inner honesty, especially regarding the planet’s principle, and the natural level of meditation for the individual. In general, Neptune trine promises excellent intuitive understanding of the planet’s principle and enjoyment simply from its activation (which a person can, if desired, teach to others). In practice, however, at a low level, instead of understanding, only a persistent illusion arises, and the enjoyment is of a lower quality, corresponding only to the lower octave of the planet’s principle. For example, Neptune trine Mars may give a passionate love for low-grade action films where blood gushes onto the viewer, freezing in their veins (while in personal life, the person may be quite meek in all respects). Neptune trine gives excellent abilities and opportunities for working out the planet’s principle but simultaneously hinders this work, as it creates the illusion that the person has long since fully understood and mastered it, and, most importantly, an inner sense of possessing the essence of the planet’s principle—when in reality, no true mastery exists yet. If a person does not take the path of sober and honest assimilation of the planet’s principle and understanding its true level and role in their life, but instead prefers to confuse themselves and others (for which they will always have brilliant abilities), their innate talents will gradually decline, along with their level of meditation and inner honesty, leading to alcohol, drugs, and the disintegration of personality. This person needs to seek high spiritual guidance in the areas governed by the planet—and, just in case, work on Pluto. At a high level, spiritual insights, a steady flow of harmony, grace, and Divine love become palpable in any manifestation of the planet’s principle.
Chiron trine: Words, like children, play effortlessly only by themselves. Chiron trine gives a person in the areas influenced by the planet a remarkable freshness of perception of the world and their own expressions. They manage to look at things in an unusual yet highly convincing way and present them to others, making it difficult to forget or suppress what has been seen. This aspect often grants a unique sense of humor and the ability to entertain others, sometimes thoroughly perplexing and confusing them, which brings great satisfaction to the individual. At a high level, this aspect provides insights and development of the planet’s principle that seem incredible to contemporaries but become fundamental to the next generation: what Chiron reveals eventually becomes mainstream. At a low level, a person tends to exploit the Chiron trine without effort, growing accustomed to chaotic and surprising situations resolving themselves quickly and painlessly, often as if by a witty joke of fate. However, a person who believes they fully understand Chiron’s humor—and especially thinks that its influence will not touch their personal life—is deeply mistaken. When fate’s humor touches significant aspects of their life (and the principles of planets always relate to such matters), the person often finds little to laugh about and desperately tries to understand what is happening to them. Yet the undeveloped Chiron trine does not provide this understanding, and although it usually offers an exit from the deadlock, the feeling persists that they are in a foreign country at a variety show, poorly understanding the language, vainly trying to grasp the comedian’s puns—while the entire audience is in stitches for no apparent reason.
