Neptune Square Pluto

A square of Neptune: One needs a great deal of inner honesty to recognize its absence within oneself. This is a difficult aspect. A square of Neptune gives distorted meditations, often of a lower order, an inexplicable attraction to the person of the planetary principle and, at the same time, a very poor understanding of it—more precisely, a false understanding, illusions, and delusions from which it is difficult for a person to believe and even harder to part with. Neptune deceives the person, the person deceives the whole world and himself, then sees part of this deception and stops believing—in everything, including himself, but not for long (or rather, partially), after which he deceives himself and the world again, and the world deceives him. This can lead to an abyss, despair, vices, or, on the contrary, awaken a higher aspiration and call a person to God. The outcome is hard to predict, but in any case, a person should always remain vigilant and never consider the taken position conquered once and for all. In this case, the lower nature may be nourished by very dirty meditations (at the level of alcohol, drugs, family scandals, etc.), and it will not be easy to re-educate it. A square of Neptune—Saturn can give a perverted pleasure from one’s inability to do anything, and a person may live for a long time in a cycle: a brief concentrated effort ending in nothing—a prolonged meditation on one’s own worthlessness, with a masochistic tint, and this cycle will likely involve close relatives and a psychoanalyst. (In general, a square of higher planets is an aspect of dark teachers, in this case with a mystical and psychological bias.) Karmically, this aspect signifies the need to work through the theme of self-deception and lower meditations ("vice") on the material of the planetary principle, the inclusion of which makes the corresponding subconscious programs very pronounced. Working through it is difficult; it requires abandoning all lower meditations (including sweet self-accusations) and consistently honest, constructive work in the areas related to the planet. Including Pluto and, to some extent, working through Saturn helps. At a high level, a person comprehends the most subtle manifestations of the planetary principle and its connection with the principle of cosmic love as it manifests in external reality and the souls of specific people, which can make him a mystic, preacher, or saint. However, the irrational feeling of guilt before the world in the spheres of the planet will never leave him. A square of Pluto: Angelic wings grow where the cross of fate has chafed. The influence of a square of Pluto manifests as a certain discomfort for the person regarding the sacrifices in the area of the planetary principle that fate will demand of him—or so it will seem to the person himself. He should reconcile himself to the thought that these sacrifices will be demanded of him at an inopportune moment and will entail unpleasant consequences of a seemingly completely unnecessary and irrelevant nature; but such, alas, is the nature of this karmic program. A square of Pluto is the aspect of Job, not always, fortunately, as extreme. The manifestations of the planetary principle in the external world will sharply displease the person, and he will feel a desire to impose order in this regard in the world, for which he will need corresponding power. The design of karma, however, has a directly opposite purpose: to bring purity and order to the area of the planetary principle in the inner world of the person and his subconscious, for which the person must gain power over his instincts and lower inclinations related to the planet. Until he realizes this, he will repeatedly face heavy sacrifices and fate that will pursue him to the extent that he provokes it—whether consciously or unconsciously, intentionally or accidentally, from the best or worst motives. The essential point is that in the area of the planet, the person acts like a magnifying glass, vividly revealing his (and others’) minimal imperfections and flaws. This aspect offers great opportunities for inner development and self-purification, while simultaneously producing dark teachers of a dictatorial type in the world who eradicate low and average manifestations of the planetary principle in the external world by power, fire, and sword, leaving only the most subtle (which they do not see) or, sometimes, simply ashes. At the average level, rigid behavior with elements of crude command and nihilism toward others is characteristic, combined with a desire to master the planetary principle oneself. Internally, the person very much wants to present the world with its ideal, but this simply does not work out, or (in the person’s opinion) the world is simply not mature enough and therefore incapable of seeing the perfection revealed to it.

Whether consciously or unwittingly, these people bring all sorts of discord and discord into the lives of others. Sometimes they become active corrupt officials or fall victim to corrupt individuals. Such individuals are inventive, prone to seeking out new things, and love to experiment. They often tend toward obsessiveness and compulsiveness. They are characterized by a profound chaos in their thinking and actions, especially when involved in mass transformation processes. This is a generation living in an age of unrest and the disintegration of social structures. For them, making an effort to renew their thinking and behavior is crucial. Their reactions to events around them are predominantly unconscious. These aspects predispose them to parapsychology and esotericism and are associated with subtle emotional and mental tensions. A chronic split in feeling and will is often observed, leading to conflicts between subconscious instinctual desires and the desire for power. Such people are actively involved in resolving global problems of our time - the fight against racism, participation in social revolutions, membership in totalitarian and religious sects.

Your dreams and imaginings keep bumping into the real and the actual (and quite visceral) process of life. You continue to imagine that you have graduated and are above going through this sensitive and personal material, but it keeps happening. The blood-and-guts parts of life do not suit your self-image. Tension results from this struggle between dreams and reality.

A generation living through a period of unrest and the collapse of social structures. They may participate in social or political institutions or become their victims. This aspect is often an unconscious and automatic reaction. It's an aspect of the need for spiritual renewal and thought. No one alive today possesses this aspect.

Opposition, square: inner impulses can be destructive or imbalanced. A person may find pleasure in being in darkness and in suffering. Instead of lighting fires, he extinguishes them.

A generation living in a period of unrest and the collapse of social structures. They become either participants or victims of violent acts. They feel the need for spiritual renewal.
