To flourish in this age, we'll need to supplement our well-developed high tech abilities with aptitudes that are "high concept" and "high touch." High concept involves the ability to create artistic and emotional beauty, to detect patterns and opportunities, to craft a satisfying narrative, and to come up with inventions the world didn't know it was missing. High touch involves the capacity to empathize, to understand the subtleties of human interaction, to find joy in one's self and to elicit it in others, and to stretch beyond the quotidian in pursuit of purpose and meaning.

A negative Neptune transit in your natal chart could get you hooked on drugs, alcohol, prescribed pain pills, gambling, or some other addictive vice. You could literally fade away in some way, or knowingly disappear from a life that no longer holds any meaning for you. You could fall into a coma from an accident. You could become a hermit, or recluse because you find the world too harsh or too  cruel. You could become a nun, monk, priest, minister, or rabbi or turn yourself over to a cult. All these things are ruled by Neptune.

Today's Writing Prompt: Mountain

Write about a memory you have involving a mountain.

Summer time in the Rockies age 12: fishing, camping, roasting marsh-mellows, sliding down the leaf ridden mountain side on card board boxes.  Counting stars, seeing the fox, the deer, and picking my nose and wiping it on my friends shirt while he slept.  Well that's what he did to me anyway, but it was his shirt. So, ha ha.

By giving our power away to physicality we sacrifice a part of our spirit (Neptune) to the material world (Saturn), this is where we over-strategize and overindulge materially without regard for spirit. 

By giving our power away to the ideal (Neptune) we lose sight of practical requirements necessary to efficient functioning in physical reality. Both planets reflect the illusion of dis-empowerment. 

Better said you become too materialistic you lose your soul you become too spiritual the bills don't get paid.

November 14th Creative Writing Prompt

 Megan Sanders stepped out of the cab on the worst day of her life.  She had been laid off from her job she'd been at for ten years and early this morning she got a call from the mechanic telling her her car needed a new transmission and would cost 1200 dollars to fix. Add the severe rain Chicago had been having all week. 


She paid the driver ten dollars and gave him a five dollar tip.  She was a sweet girl who always tipped even when she needed the money herself but she figured she would do without Starbucks today.


She turned around with the naive notion that things could not get any worse in her life and that good fortune would soon have to visit her.  Then she saw...Harry.

Creative Writing Prompt – November 21st

We sat out over looking the world.  It seemed so small from where we sat and Sally giggled a bit at the fact that the people down below looked like ants and we were as big as God.  I put my arm around her and smiled.  She had a way of saying things just right from time to time. 

Writer's block the Neptunian conflict

Creativity is said to stem from a Neptune planetary influence.  Neptune is symbolize by the sea.  In my creativity I struggle with creative blocks.  I have these wild expansive ideas but when it comes to turning them into tangible art I can not do it.  It is like pulling teeth with tweezers.  Impossible, painful, insane, and something that makes creating something to fear.  I had to think about what I was trying to do for a second.  Creativity, the ideas that come to me are so floating and boundless and any time of bounding such as photography or writing is simply trying to put structure on a massive ocean that cannot and will not be contained for the very moment you put the words down on the page for a novel you begin to kill the creative vision.  It does not want to be captured.  It would be like trying to contain an ocean with a dixie cup.  Impossible. 




Saturn in the planet of structure boudning boundaires and limitations.  Neptune is beyond breaking the boundaries of Uranus it is beyond anything it is int he mystical.  The dream  In a totally different dimension.  Still to live on this earth we have to deal with Saturn aspects the reality of life.  Some how there has to be a compromise

Neptune in 2nd money and income troubles

You may prefer not to attach too much value to money, but if this is overdone, there can be quite a few problems in life concerning money and ownership. You might make money through artistic pursuits, but must avoid the potential pitfalls of putting too much faith in ideas that don't have enough grounding in reality. Financial advice is important to obtain. You may have developed a non-materialistic personal philosophy. This might work well for you, but it could also lead to impractical attitudes and money problems. When it comes to making money, you tend to act on hunches and intuition. You might have faith that you will come into money one day, or daydream a lot about being wealthy. The trick is to have faith in your own self-worth. If you frequently have money problems, you might want to examine whether you truly are not attached to material things, or if it stems from undervaluing your own worth or value. When Neptune is in good condition in the second house, there can be a sense that you are wealthy no matter what you actually have, and this faith can bring you exactly what you need. If Neptune is challenged, you may be glossing over practical details and money can too easily slip through your fingers. You might be especially generous, but avoid situations where you get the short end of the stick financially speaking if they lead to feelings of resentment.

Neptune in 2nd llusions about money and income and how to make it
