Neptune’s Journey!
A class (in depth history then & now) on the blue planet Neptune We are in school today –

Today – Sunday, March 30, 2025, is a pivotal point of change for humanity.
As a major generational planet, Neptune, ended at 164 year cycle & began a new 164-year cycle.
As Neptune has entered Aries, a new cycle of life & livingness, a new reality & focus begins.

A most important question for everyone.
Consulting our astrology charts.
Where is 0 Aries in everyone’s chart?
That is where Neptune is in our lives.
What area of life if it for you? What house?
In this way the astrology posted here become relevant, alive, & real in our lives. This is the application of astrology. This is how astrology becomes useful for each of us.

And so….
Neptune entered Aries early this morning – a new cycle of life & livingness begins for humanity. A new sense of identity, values, communication, creativity, relationships, journeys, world progress, world culture & civilization, religion & spirituality.

And so…
Shifting into a new sign every 14 years…it’s been 164 years since Neptune was in Aries.
And so….

At 5am (PT) this morning, Neptune completed a 164-year cycle around the Sun
And entered the sign of Aries.

From Aries (1861 – 1875, US Revolution, slavery abolished, women’s suffragette), thru all the signs to Pisces (yesterday Neptune was at 29.59 Pisces & there was a feeling of something new & big was going to occur!) until this morning Neptune brought in a new cycle of life & livingness, spirituality & bold new realities.

From Dreams to Fire
Neptune left the hazy blue mystical dream state of Neptune & entered into the initiating (all things new), red & fiery, intensely powerful sign of Aries (once again!) early this morning.

Angels
Aries is the rebel. Neptune is the Angel. What is a rebellious angel like? Oh, we remember! It was the rebellious angels who told God He needed to let Adam & Even have a sense of mentation, a brain mind It was the rebellious angels who wanted the first humans to eat of the Tree of Knowledge so they could have freedom.

Neptune in Aries – the spiritual warrior!
Neptune is Ray 6 – desires, aspirations, hopes, wishes, dreams, visions, religion (skillful virtues).
Unskillful (we see this in our country today) – rage, anger, destruction, fomentation of confusion, lies, illusions, glamours, extreme rebelliousness, fanaticism, refusal to move forward into new realms that help humanity thrive, blindness.

Neptune – the ruler of the Age of Pisces.
With Neptune leaving Pisces & entering the “all things news” of Aries, which initiates new realities, it is safe to say we are well on our Way to our Sun entering & atmosphere & architecture of the Age of Aquarius. And thus we are too!

Neptune’s Realms – Hollywood!
Neptune creates what feels like a magical realm.
The epitome of Neptune is Hollywood.
the film industry provides images in the collective psyche, part of a mass participation in creating thought forms–which then take on more solid substance. Filmmaker and audience dance together and literally create many of the energies which permeate society.

A study of Neptune’s transits, Hollywood & the film industry would reveal Hollywood’s history & the evolution of both film & stories. Movies were invented when Neptune was in Gemini (Mercury ruled). The first camera was patented June 21, 1889. The first film, in collaboration with Thomas Edison, was made in May, 1881. If we follow Neptune’s transits thru the signs, we will see a reflection of the types of stores & films that were the vogue at every fourteen years.

Generational Planet
(note: “Generational” signifies a connection to a group of people who are roughly the same age and have experienced similar historical events and cultural trends. Time span – 15- 20/30 years. Child born to growing up to age 20/30.)

Neptune is called the “generational planet.”
Neptune will be in Aries until 2039. Neptune drifted slowly thru Pisces (spirituality), its home sign, since 2011. Now it will take a wild ride into Aries – a watery sensitive ethereal planet of blue into the realm of passion, impulse and pioneering red fires of Aries.

Neptune in Aries – What may happen?
The waters of Neptune can be determined to overwhelm & drown oppressive structures that have held humanity back for eons of time.

With Neptune in Aries, our determination, our intentions & aspirations will become clearer. There will be a spirituality that accompanies our lives, a refinement, too. Neptune “refines” Aries, which is the innovator – thus refined new innovations will appear. That which is old & useless will dissolve away (quite like the solar eclipse we had yesterday). Transcendence will be a call we hear & nothing will stand in its way. Our way of life will gradually be reshaped.

The strongest indication of Neptune is our intuition, which will be more pronounced in all the signs – from Aries to Pisces.

History of Neptune’s Discovery
First observed by Galileo in 1612, but disregarded as a fixed star. Then mathematically “discovered” again by scientists at the Berlin Observatory, Neptune was on the border of Aquarius (1-degree NE of Aquarii) & Capricorn. Neptune’s discovery was confirmed during a groundbreaking Neptune-Saturn conjunction in Aquarius.

179 Years Ago: Astronomers Discover Neptune, the Eighth Planet orbiting the Sun. (Uranus was accidently discovered in 1781 at the New Berlin Observatory).
However, (see below), Galileo saw the planet Neptune first, in 1612, thinking this pale blue object in the sky was a fixed star.***
As astronomers continued to observe the newly discovered planet, they noticed irregularities in its orbit that Newton’s law of universal gravitation could not fully explain. However, effects from the gravity of a more distant planet could explain these perturbances.

By 1845, Uranus had completed nearly one full revolution around the Sun and astronomers Urbain Jean-Joseph Le Verrier in Paris and John Couch Adams in Cambridge, England, independently calculated the location of this postulated planet. Based on Le Verrier’s calculations, on the night of Sept. 23-24, 1846, astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle used the Fraunhofer telescope at the Berlin Observatory and made the first observations of the new planet, only 1 degree from its calculated position.

In retrospect, following its formal discovery, it turned out that several astronomers, starting with Galileo Galilei in 1612, had observed Neptune too, but because of its slow motion relative to the background stars. did not recognize it as a planet.

The discovery was made using a telescope since Neptune is too faint to be visible to the naked eye, owing to its great distance from the Sun. Astronomers soon discovered a moon orbiting Neptune, but it took more than a century to discover a second one. Our knowledge of distant Neptune greatly increased from the scientific observations made during Voyager 2’s flyby in 1989, including the discovery of five additional moons and confirmation of dark rings orbiting the planet.

On the night of Sept. 23-24, 1846, astronomers discovered Neptune, the eighth planet orbiting around the Sun. It was a mathematical discovery.
Astronomers noticed that Uranus’s orbit didn’t quite match the predictions based on the gravitational influence of known planets like Jupiter and Saturn. John Couch Adams (using Bode’s Law), along with Urbain Le Verrier, independently predicted Neptune’s existence and location by analyzing discrepancies in Uranus’s orbit, using mathematical calculations to deduce the presence of an unseen planet causing those deviations.

*** Galileo’s drawings show that he observed Neptune (it had just begun to retrograde) on December 28, 1612, and again on January 27, 1613;[8] on both occasions, Galileo mistook Neptune for a fixed star when it appeared very close (in conjunction) to Jupiter in the night sky.

Historically it was thought that he believed it to be a fixed blue star, and so he is not credited with its discovery. At the time of his first observation in December 1612, it was stationary in the sky because it had just turned retrograde that very day; because it was only beginning its yearly retrograde cycle, Neptune’s motion was thought to be too slight, and its apparent size too small, to clearly appear to be a planet in Galileo’s small telescope.

However, in July 2009, University of Melbourne physicist David Jamieson announced new evidence suggesting that Galileo was indeed aware that he had discovered something unusual about this “star”.

Galileo, in one of his notebooks, noted the movement of a background star (Neptune) on January 28 and a dot (in Neptune’s position) drawn in a different ink suggests that he found it on an earlier sketch, drawn on the night of January 6, suggesting a systematic search among his earlier observations. However, so far there is neither clear evidence that he identified this moving object as a planet, nor that he published these observations of it. There is no evidence that he ever attempted to observe it again.

Galileo Galilei observed Neptune twice, once on December 28, 1612, and again on January 27, 1613.
When Galileo observed Neptune in 1612 and 1613, mistaking it for a fixed star, Neptune was in the sign of Gemini – the communicator, Mercury. Gemini – Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom.

The solar eclipse & new moon occurred early this morning.
New moon 9 Aries.
The message is Restoration of the Good, Regeneration and Resurrection.
The old ways quickly disappearing (essence of the old ways fallen away).
There is only room for the new now (new moon Aries – all things new).
It is the Easter Resurrection & Regeneration of life Aries new moon. Restoring the Good.

The Pisces waters purifying the fields so the new world, new culture & civilization can come forth.
The purification happening in our country can be seen by the activities of DOGE – with their young technological (Aquarius) wizards investigating all aspects of our government, eliminating waste, updating old ways to make all things new, shining, pure and good again. It’s time has come.

Aries 2025
What is occurring is a Restoration & Renewal of Life.
It is the springtime for humanity.
At first there is destruction of the old, then a purifying, then a new creation. The “jungles burst into flame & the path stands clear & unobstructed” & the fires of Aries at first burns & destroys, then the warmth nourishes.
Then vision is able to come forth, new creative ideas.
Fire is the great liberator. It brings the Truth forward.

Aries “fuses the beginning and the end, to blend the opposites and dispel both time and space”.
The Festival of Rebirth, the Easter Resurrection Festival (in Taurus this year, April 20th) is prepared for by Aries.

Restoration of vision, of the Rule of Law, of promises, of hope, beauty & all things good. What will (is being) also be renewed are the Mysteries.

restoration word on concrette wall

The fact of what is being discovered under the pyramids.
The fact of the rings of Saturn (limitation, obstruction) cannot be seen (from earth they look dissolved by a cosmic rain) – these are signs & symbols that a new era & new age is imminent.
And along with each new age the new world teacher appears too.
He comes in the air, armed with the Rule of Law.
And so vision re-emerges and the Work proceeds.

From the Old Commentary, Esoteric Psychology 1, p. 264.

“In the chamber of death, the blue light of dawning day reveals the group of workers who seek to raise the dead. Naught avail their efforts until they blend the five great forces of the Lord of Magic. When thus they work as one, in unity complete the work is done they fuse the life-giving force; the dead are raised, and the work of building can proceed.
The temple can be glorified and the Word be uttered forth within a chamber of life-giving force and not of death.
Through death to life, from struggle in the dark to building in the light! Such is the Plan.
Thus do we enter into life that is a death; pass onward through the door whose pillars twain stand there forever as a sign of strength and truth divine; thus do we enter quick within the tomb and die.
Thus are we raised again upon a Word divine, upon a fivefold sign, and—springing forth—we live”

There will be no restoration of the old, the tired, the dark, the evil.
There is only the Restoration of that which is Truth, the Good Beautiful & Life Giving.

As the old passes away, there is an interim…as humanity adjusts itself to all that is new. The old forces will be repulsed by this new reality – they will act out, shout, scream, use foul words – we will know them by their actions, their darkness, their unattractiveness – they too will have to pass away – enter into a pralaya (deep sleep for a long epic time).
Then the new world, unobstructed, comes forth & those standing in the Light, focused in the Light of Wisdom, walk forward in unison into the new world, constructing it as we go. Life springing forth –

And so…the solar eclipse & new moon of Aries, 9 degrees.
What are all of our hopes wishes dreams & visions?
This is just the beginning – love, Risa

This new moon –
Preparing for the Aries Solar Festival, Saturday, April 12.
When the Forces of Restoration fully enter the Earth.
When Venus turns stationary direct at 24.39 degrees Pisces.
When in the evening, Passover begins.
When, the day after, Sunday, is Palm Sunday.
And the Sunday after is Easter.

The language & tool of the Aquarian Age is Astrology.
Aquarius is also Ray 5 – the scientific mind.
At the heart of Aquarius is Jupiter, Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom.
The study of astrology begins with gathering information via symbols in one’s chart & then over time, Love & Wisdom begin to take hold. And the Soul appears!

Research, study, identification, self-identity, finding our path, truth, compansionship, etc.
Gazing at the heavens & seeing those heavens in our astrology chart. Learning to unlock the symbols. Finding ourselves.

This is what happens & what we do in astrology.
Discovery of truth is what the study of astrology is.

Aquarius/Pisces Moons
Today I am writing about astrology.
Under the light of Aries (new study, all things new, new spiritual year). And under the morning Aquarius moon. And later, Pisces moon after a 6 minute void of course (from 1:30pm to 1:36pm PT).

New Moon Solar Eclipse
Tomorrow morning, at 3:56am (PT), we have a new moon festival & solar eclipse, 9 degrees Aries. It’s important to have one’s astrology chart in hand to know where something essential has fallen away, is falling away, or will fall away. It’s purpose completed, & thus a new door/opportunity essence of something appearing. 9 degrees Aries.

Mercury
Mercury in its retrograde will re-enter Pisces tomorrow too.

And so, to Astrology.
Astrology, its study & applications, tells us of the inner workings of life. It is a timing mechanism, it finds solutions to many problems, it provides timings of beginnings & endings, it can be applied medically & psychological. Astrology is the new psychology, and it tells us of coming trends, past present future & generationally.
When we study astrology and apply it to our lives & the lives of those around us, to family, friends, leaders, countries, world events, we go beyond opinions, judgments, unknowings & we begin to experience epiphanies of understanding.

Astrology is not psychic, it’s not a parlor game. It’s real & deadly serious (to use a Scorpio phrase).

The true study of astrology holds the KEYS to all levels of understanding, including all the other disciplines – communication, geometry, math, philosophy, psychology, religion, history, geography over time. Learning how to really communicate the meanings of symbols, & what the sparkly stars & planets mean along with their purpose, as it is applied to each of us. To everyone. Communicating the right information in the right way in right timing.

What we come to when we study & apply astrology – what we come eventuall to is an alchemical experience – we begin to experience the “essence of love” itself.
Which is what the heavens are – essences of love.
The Lords of each planet & star – their work involves loving humanity, thus directing & guiding humanity via their energies & movements. This is done with love.

When we apply the study of astrology & later the esoteric aspects (Rays, further rulers, etc.) of astrology & the Rays, we begin to attend night school, meeting “nocturnally” with others when asleep (from 10pm to 5am). The school of Mysteries opens for us.

The ways of life are mysterious to most, but less & less mysterious when we study the art & science of astrology – the study that offers humanity direction & guidance.
Astrology is the study of each day – a day in our Mystery School called Earth under the heavens.

As we develop through observing our life experiences, as we take up the study of astrology as a direction & as a way to self-identity we begin to know we are strong, mighty, talented, filled with gifts & abilities – we become soldiers of God, realizing we each have an assignment, tasks to complete in our lifetime (& every other lifetime too).
The art & science of astrology helps us navigate thru our tasks & our assignments, thru the vicissitudes of life, thru its ups & downs. Astrology (study & application) is a north star for each of us.

Astrology helps us become Thinkers. Overtime, it helps us contribute to the world, offering our talents & gifts.
The study of astrology actually points out our gifts, helping us cultivate them for later use when called upon.

Astrology actually encourages us, leading us from a state of ignorance (unsureness, unconsciousness, unawareness, blindness) to the Temple of Information, to the Temple of Knowledge to the Temple of Wisdom.

Astrology helps us find our place in the world, it builds the lower mind to reach up to the higher mind, & eventually it reaches the place where we can gaze at our Soul. And see that our Soul is gazing back at us. And then we have a companion forever & ever. And Love happens.

The study of astrology provides us with dignity, self-identity, a talent that is latent in everyone, and a way of bringing heaven down to earth. And, thru our focus, our making ourselves known to the heavens, we lift Earth to the Heavens. And all becomes One.

We become a community of astrologers when we study & work together. Then we turn to humanity & provide humanity with the New Education for the New Age. I see & sense a new classroom opening. And I call forth the devas to build a community & village with schools for the young ones & the elders & for all those of us in between to learn together, now & for years & years to come. The new Village of Humanity Holding the Keys To & Under the Stars. love, Risa
