Uranus in aspect to Neptune

This conjunction came within a nine degree orb in November 1988, was exact in February, August and October 1993, and stayed in orb until 1998; the last time before that was 1821-3. These children will have a strong degree of identification with the collective mind and group consciousness, which in some cases could revert back to fervent nationalist affinities in countries that have a powerful controlling religious, racial, political and social structures. Yet in most cases it is unlikely that this will result in the emergence of charismatic demagogues as in recent examples of the manipulation of the masses.

There will be a directing sense of social responsibility, and an awareness of participating in a social community, which will be expressed in positive ways for the betterment of all. The merged energies of this conjunction will inspire concepts of brotherhood, which will reflect the ideals of Uranus and Neptune, as a form of revolutionary mysticism emerging from an acute mental and emotional sensitivity connected to an intuitive imaginative faculty.

Personal freedoms and rights will have a high priority, and there will be a new perception of 'leadership' being formed, which can dissolve those old patterns of a powerful leader and hundreds of following 'sheep'. There is a distrust of leaders, based on an intuitive perception of their real motivations and characteristics, which will also develop into a new understanding of authority and power in society. Those born under this aspects will be willing to 'fight' for the maintenance of personal freedoms and rights if they are under threat by the decisions of social leaders. A new balance of power between the people and the state will begin to form, and a new politics should rise into view, reflecting this increase in individual rights and power. Generally, this should be a period of spiritual and scientific development, where breakthroughs occur in the exploration of nature and mind.

Changes that became inevitable by 1994 will have to be more fully achieved and realized by this new generation, imbued with a more conscious spirit of human unity and solidarity.

Uranus conjunct Neptune: The conjunction of Uranus and Neptune shows that you are aware of your obligations to the social structure to which you belong, and that you identify closely with its mass consciousness. You are keenly observant of the deception that the leaders often use to gain and maintain complete control of the people, and this disturbs you deeply. You recognize that this pattern can lead to loss of personal freedom unless steps are taken to eliminate the offenders. Since you belong to a generation that will not tolerate abuses of authority and power, you realize that freedom can be lost if not protected against political erosion.

When the conjunction occurred in 1821-3, among the important achievements were the invention of an ingenious process for waterproofing fabric and the development of cement, which later played a large role in the industrial revolution. These physical phenomena - cement and waterproof fabric - exactly parallel the strong foundations of the courageous individuals who have this aspects and the process they use to protect themselves and their rights.

You respond to people who need your understanding of their social predicament, whether it is a personal problem or one they share with others. Although you know that you can do little by yourself, the combined effort of those sharing your concern can be a powerful force against social injustice. Working together, you can restore order and freedom where there was chaos and privation.

Uranus conjunct Neptune: It seems that the conjunction of these planets would make for some interesting life experiences - the concept of individuality or humanity is brought together with that of creative expression. These are the times when important changes in attitude and / or consciousness take place.

When this aspect occurred in the early 1820s, it brought the world Mary Baker Eddy, Dostoevsky, Clara Barton, Louis Pasteur and Johann Strauss. If this conjunction also involves a personal configuration, a personal kind of creativity emerges - for example, Clara Barton had this conjunction also conjunct her natal sun.

Uranus conjunct Neptune: This potent aspect occurs again and again in the charts of the great. It stands midway between the harmonious and inharmonious contacts, and produces the great savant or prophet, such as Pasteur and Ruskin, and people of remarkable but more doubtful repute, such as Nell Gwyn and Caesar Borgia. Dr. A. R. Wallace exemplifies the spiritualist tendencies of the aspect.

It seems on the whole to be self-willed, but frequently extremely able, and rarely to be lightly disregarded. One would expect eccentricity, but on the whole good intentions and kindness, Neptune softening Uranus, as it softens Mars.

Uranus in any aspect to Neptune: Uranus represents the need for independence and originality; it crashes through forms and restraints, and helps develop individuality on the basis of inwardly desired change. Neptune, on the other hand, represents the desire to experience what lies beyond individuality itself. hence it stands for a need to disassociate and blur things, to idealize and perfect them. But there is a danger of the individual mind becoming chaotic and losing itself in the collective. When the two factors come together, as they do here, we get a highly idealistic personality displaying an impersonal attitude every now and then.

The aspects of Uranus and Neptune reinforce their mutual idealism. Perhaps the native sits and dreams of finding what lies 'somewhere over the rainbow', but it is equally possible the he or she may help to bring about actual social change.

Since both Uranus and Neptune play a big part in spirituality and metaphysics, and in such things as clairvoyance and telepathy, any contact between the two planets can lead to fresh ground being broken in these fields, and can stimulate scientific research in the realm of the invisible. An obvious example of such research is parapsychology, but an equally valid example is theoretical physics - because the latter has penetrated so far behind the everyday world we see around us. If there are tie-ups with personal planets in the chart, we may even encounter the mystical and mysterious first hand.

It is interesting, in this connection, that the English Society for Psychical Research (the S. P. R.) was founded in 1882 during a trine between Uranus and Neptune. This society applied itself to systematic study of the unexplained, and in so doing stimulated worldwide research into parapsychology. The time was ripe for paying more heed to matters hidden from ordinary view. Shortly after its trine with Uranus, Neptune was conjunct Pluto, and, at the turn of the century, Uranus formed an inconjunct with Neptune conjunct Pluto. Astounding discoveries were then made in the field of parapsychology due to the fortuitous arrival of numerous exceptionally gifted mediums and other exponents of the paranormal.

When Uranus/ Neptune constellations are linked with personal factors in a chart, the native is quite likely to be attracted to paranormal studies and to make original contributions to them.

Aspects between Uranus and Neptune can provide a stimulus for all sorts of mind expanding experiments, including the study of hallucinogens on consciousness and behavior, the study of the physical influence of empathy and imagination (as in stigmata for example), and so forth.

The search for a completely individual religious experience (the Uranian influence on Neptune) is as likely as the erosion and depersonalization of individuality (the Neptunian influence on Uranus). Yet Neptune's often subtle influence can refine the individuality and place it in the light of a greater, cosmic whole; either through religious faith, or else through the insight that, whereas the conscious has its limitations, the unconscious soars above space and time to give the human spirit endless possibilities.

Of course, everything will run more smoothly with the easy aspects. Nevertheless, the ungovernability of these particular planets can lead to sudden upheavals, and to innovations that are not always welcome. With the hard aspects, we face an even rougher ride, impelling us to take action.

Uranus sextile Neptune

Most of the characteristics of Uranus / Neptune aspects involve the element of distrust for leaders, organizations and power élites. Those born with the sextile aspect tend to object to establishment secrecy and the withholding of information from their people or their electorate. They consider this manipulation of information to be a deliberate and iniquitous distortion of the truth which should not be allowed by their leaders. Often such people would support a 'freedom of information' causes, believing that the state should be the servant of the people, and not the other way round.

There is an anti-establishment attitude, together with an objection to state autonomy in which the person is steam-rollered by the weight of state bureaucracy. There is a need to reassert individual power and freedom from state interference, and such attitudes will often oppose authoritarian dictates. An attraction towards social revolution and changing the nature of state control can develop a revolutionary and evolutionary philosophy which champions the people's right to power within their own society.

An optimistic belief in people and their potential will dominate, which some may consider to be too naive and idealistic, but it is founded on the right to be able to choose for oneself, and to determine the sort of personal lifestyle to live without being inhibited by social repressions (provided that it does not harm others). It conceives of a society aimed towards personal development and fulfillment, through individual creativity and uniqueness, in contradistinction to one which conditions people to unquestioning fulfillment of economic roles and adherence to social convention.

Essentially, it asserts the right to be self-determinate, rather than meekly and blindly following the guidance of leaders who often gain such positions through money or heritage alone. An active involvement in social decision-making will attract, especially in ways designed to make some progress towards those brotherhood ideals which so appeal to the mind and emotional levels of those with this aspect.

Uranus sextile Neptune: Uranus sextile Neptune indicates that you are part of a group consciousness that is intolerant of anyone who distorts the truth or withholds it from the people. You are especially suspicious of strong, established organizations that have powerful government connections, but you are similarly offended by the rigid control that organized religions have over their members. You prefer to decide for yourself what to believe and how to discipline yourself through whatever faith you've chosen. A revolutionary thinker, you resent the fact that you are expected to yield to the thoughts and beliefs of people you are suspicious of. The 'establishment' represents a threat to your personal freedom. You insist that any commitment must be mad voluntarily and without the slightest exercise of pressure. Fearful of the erosion of individual rights, you freely communicate this sense of danger whenever possible. You realize that people who follow others blindly are endangering their right to choose the path to their destinies.

From your generation will come the fruit of the seed that germinated between 1965 and 1968, when open hostilities were commonplace at many universities throughout the world. You will demand a say in the social, educational, and political systems to ensure that your right to free expression will not be curtailed or denied. In everything that has a bearing on your future and that of the masses, you will seek the truth. You are not afraid to express your views because your opinion is backed by an arsenal of facts. You uphold the belief that every individual bears a spiritual obligation to his society, which you call the 'Brotherhood of Man'.

You hold that a societal structure based on materialism is an affront to the personal dignity of the individual. You aspire to a high degree of creative expression for everyone, regardless of the opportunities their material circumstances afford them.

Uranus sextile Neptune: This group can learn to combine creative expression with the process of individuation. The potential for consciousness will have to be developed or the sextile may remain latent.

The aspect produces a generation of people who may have highly individualistic dreams or goals. Some of them will be unproductive; some will use this energy to present advanced concepts in the field of scientific endeavor or spiritual development.

Uranus trine or sextile Neptune: Since contacts between these two bodies extend over considerable periods and are therefore to be found in the horoscopes of very large numbers of persons. it has been usual rather to discount their importance in individual charts and to ascribe to them an influence over national or world-wide conditions, which only affect individuals powerfully when they are aspected by other bodies, or when they occupy important house-positions.

An examination of charts seems to indicate that these aspects do affect individuals, and I cannot say that it seems necessary to restrict the orbs of aspect very much in judging them. But the effects are naturally most noticeable when the planets occupy prominent house-positions and receive other aspects.

They bestow a strong touch of mysticism and a love of the esoteric and arcane. There is a good deal of emotional force, and there may be considerable enthusiasm for some cause or cult. The love of art and music is very marked. Even in practical pursuits there is generally a sort of vision or inspiration towards ideals.

It is on the whole a kindly, beneficent influence. Napoleon I is an exception - but in this case Mars is conj. Neptune. In another case, the aspect seems only to have produced a rather arid turn for metaphysical discussion, but here Saturn is with Neptune.

When Uranus/ Neptune constellations are linked with personal factors in a chart, the native is quite likely to be attracted to paranormal studies and to make original contributions to them. Aspects between Uranus and Neptune can provide a stimulus for all sorts of mind expanding experiments, including the study of hallucinogens on consciousness and behavior, the study of the physical influence of empathy and imagination (as in stigmata for example), and so forth.

Uranus square Neptune

The last square aspect happened during the period 1952-56, and influenced the people born during that phase. This was the second phase of post-war children, born into a time of relative stability and reconstruction, when the memories of the war were ebbing away into past history, even though the Korean War was rekindling some of them.

This group received a psychic impression from the collective, which embodies a form of social confusion then prevalent which was reflective of the collective mind. Social direction was the issue. The defeat of Churchill's government after the ending of the war, a government which seemed to represent the past, and the introduction of the post-war Labor reformist policies such as the Welfare State seemed to herald a new vision and direction. But the collective was torn between dreams and fears of a new world, and a rejection of painful memories of man's inhumanity; a clash between the future and the past, the unknown and the known.

Reflecting this collective conflict, the individuals born at the time received a pattern of rebellion (Uranus) which was mixed with confusion (Neptune) over what to do, which direction to travel in, how to achieve objectives, even what these objectives actually were. The only model that could be absorbed was that of their parents and peers, which offered conflicting and confusing social messages.

The problem in later life would become ambivalence; they would be torn between a need to revolt against authority and the establishment, and a need to feel socially secure. Purity of ideals would become a challenge, especially when confronted with the pragmatic demands of economic and family life.

With this aspect there is an aversion to leaders, who, it is felt, lead people into blind obedience and conformity, which to the Uranian spirit is anathema and opposed to the Uranian principle of freedom. Personal freedoms are paramount, and their repression may lead to a struggle to assert them. Yet this group eventually fragmented into various types. Some were reluctant revolutionaries, eventually being reabsorbed into the social 'mainstream'; some were 'rebels without a cause', social misfits with no direction except that of aggressive reaction. Members of this aspect group were attracted to the existing hippie and drug counter-culture, in the later phase after 1968; others became early leaders of the mid-seventies' punk movement, an anarchic reactionary youth revolt against conformity; and perhaps most significant of all became part of the spreading of the New Age movement which incorporates the ecological Green political groups.

In fact, many of those who were early adherents of the hippie ideals have become part of the New Age culture, which is expanding throughout society through alternative health therapies, mind training, healthy foods, and an ideology of individual and collective wholeness. It is in this way that the core group of those born during the period 1952-6 is active in taking control of their own lives and influencing society.

Uranus square Neptune: This combination occurred between 1952 and 1956; anyone born during that period of time will have this combination.

Uranus square Neptune shows that you belong to a group consciousness that is in constant rebellion, but isn't quite sure of the reason. Although you feel the oppression of ignorance, you will have to do a lot of hard work to make clear exactly what you are going to do about it. If you are guilty of rejecting your social obligations, you may refuse to demonstrate your opposition to the corrosive effects of political subversion. Or you may decide that your professional status and personal security are too much to risk for the sake of that faceless crowd of humanity from which you've become detached. If you do decide to participate, it may be through an intermediary, because you say, 'I don't want to become personally involved, since I have so much to lose if I'm discovered.' This is an understandable position, but it is also indefensible. You would be the first to cry out in anger if your own personal freedom were being taken away. In the past, millions refused to 'rock the boat' for fear their own security would be jeopardized. How many of them gained the security of a roof over their heads - in prisons, detention camps, and the like? If freedom is truly important to you, then you must have the courage to fight for it.

Lacking the courage of Uranus, you have consented to live in bondage at the hands of leaders who lust for power and who consider you expendable. On the other hand, you can challenge those who abuse their leadership positions and demand that they be held accountable to everyone for their deeds. You have the ability to arouse others and to stimulate them to action when mere words will not suffice. If you cannot personally supervise the action against oppressive conditions, you can at least support those who will.

Your future objectives are always weakened by a tendency to take a laissez-faire attitude toward the political motivation of existing government officials. You cannot afford to relax your attention to this danger.

Uranus square Neptune: The square aspect indicates a tendency to use the energies against each other. The dream or ideal of the generation (Neptune) may not be reflected in the behavior pattern of that generation (Uranus). When this aspect ties into the personal planets, the square becomes important in the personal sense, for these individuals will need to work out the frustration in order to realize the full potential of growth possible.

For example, consider the Sun conjunct Neptune square Uranus. The creative energy of Neptune will influence the Sun. The aspect indicates some delusion regarding the father; either he was misrepresented or the individual has some delusion in regard to his heredity or inherited responsibilities. The Uranus square will make him willful and eccentric, and he will behave in a manner that might not enhance the expression of his Sun sign energy. In order to use the aspect constructively, he will need to consider his Sun sign needs and how highly individualistic behavior would best support those interests.

Uranus square or opposite Neptune: In these cases, the intensity of emotion is very marked, the native being as a rule, highly strung, intense, sensitive, and easily upset. Self-will is marked, and the native will not readily be thwarted or persuaded. The emotional force may be discharged in some such form as art, music, dancing, rhetoric or pseudo-religious devotion; some form of service; or, in bad charts, in drink, sex, or neurotic collapse. It does not lack courage, and may cause the native to seek excitement in risks.

Usually, motives and ideals are high, and the native means well, but is apt to go to extremes, to lack all sense of humor (in regard to his or her own interests and pursuits), and to be unable to co-operate or compromise. It may indeed be termed an aspect of fanaticism, but in many cases its action is chiefly external, giving taut nerves, an 'edgy' temper, and various forms of disease, usually of neural character.

It is often present in the charts of very conscientious people, who are hard on themselves and on others, exhibiting rigidity of outlook. It does not favor calm, moderation, reflectivity, and detachment, for the emotions are set at variance with the will.

Like all Neptunian afflictions, it sometimes causes unpleasant or deceptive 'astral' experiences, and it constitutes a warning against the cultivation of pursuits of this nature. A well-known example of this error is the case of Dr. John Dee, astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I and an alchemist. He was a man of true piety and learning, but his whole career was ruined by his reliance on the guidance, or misguidance, of supposed angelic monitors. He had Neptune in the 3rd in Pisces, square to Uranus in the 7th.

Much of the unhappiness, 'never been young' attitude of modern (i.e. late 1920s, when Carter was writing!) youth, their confusion of outlook, and lack of standards may be attributed without risk of error to the opposition of these planets that prevailed around 1910.

Uranus trine Neptune

The trine aspect was made roughly during the period 1941-6, and features in the birth charts of a generation born during war time. This tends to condition their perception of life and people, which in effect can sometimes veer towards pessimism and cynicism, especially if they were born in the early years of the trine when the world war was at its height and the result still hung in the balance.

Underlying this is still the idealism of these planets, but with possibly insufficient personal faith in their actual manifestation, together with an ambiguity about their own personal role and responsibility in society. There can be a tendency to follow personal goals irrespective of social needs and obligations, and a preference for personal gain and ambitions. Yet this too can be a source of personal development, and it is still perhaps too early yet to be sure how such individuals will use any social power and influence that they may have acquired.

As the trine is a reconciling factor, this generation could be seen as a 'bridging group' where both the past and future tendencies co-exist, probably uncomfortably at times. They have grown up in a rapidly changing world, though childhood conditioning would still reflect pre-war attitudes; they are thus able to serve as mediators in society, knowing the older world and yet attuned enough to the dawning of the new world.

There should be sufficient intellectual capacity for them to evaluate the implications of ideological belief structures for themselves, without the imposition of authority; this should result in the development of genuinely held personal views irrespective of their nature and content. If they don't feel convinced, after careful consideration of the validity of an idea or belief, they will usually be unable to give whole-hearted support for it - unless they compromise themselves for personal gain.

They are aware of the dangers of gullibility and a lack of public discrimination regarding leaders - as the German people in World War II demonstrated - yet are not fully convinced by the intent of any leaders who use truth as an expedient to be employed only when it suits them. In many ways, this generation is faced with a need to resolve certain inner conflicts and opposite world views, almost as a 'trial run' for the way in which society can achieve this on a larger scale. There are paradoxes on both mental and emotional levels that should be resolved and integrated, because too often such people are caught in the cleft stick of their own indecision and confusion over which 'face' to present - the face of the older ways, or the face reflecting the emerging changes in the world.

Uranus trine Neptune: The trine of Uranus and Neptune indicates that you resent being told what to believe. You prefer to decide for yourself whether you will accept or reject the ideas that have satisfied previous generations of believers. Your intellectual awareness requires that you are logically evaluate all ideologies, dogmas, or theories, whether they are political, philosophical, or religious. You feel that you cannot support a particular belief until you understand thoroughly how and why it was established. Seeking truth rather than illusions, you are suspicious of ideas that may seriously alter your life and destiny. You observe how the masses of humanity in the past have been dominated by individuals who forced their ideologies on their subjects, mesmerizing them to accept those ideas blindly and obediently.

To illustrate how these planets produced mass hysteria, we must examine the period between 1938 and 1944, when they occupied this relationship. Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, and Emperor Hirohito hypnotically dominated millions of people and produced an awesome machine that destroyed even more millions and altered forever the destinies of countless others. The planetary combination indicates the indolence and apathy present among people throughout the world, which allowed this destruction to take place.

You and many others who were born during these years can help prevent a repetition of history by refusing to support any individual in power until you know everything possible about him / her. Because you have the ability to see through illusion and dishonesty, it is your responsibility to communicate what you know for the benefit of humanity. You must arouse the public to challenge any public official who will not keep open the lines of communication to the people he represents.

Uranus trine Neptune: Compassion, understanding, creative expression or inspiration (Neptune) blend with the expression of new-age ideas (Uranus), so that theory and feeling meld together to express a form of universal love and understanding. This trine has occurred in people born around 1940 in the past century.

These are the people who have taken courses in meditation, inner awareness, spiritual development, etc.. They are searching for the inner self. This generation may produce new philosophies that will be emerging now at the turn of the 21st century.

The trine can also foster the great dreamer - the energy from the Uranus - Neptune combination can produce highly individualistic ideas that may not be put into practice unless there is an aspect in the chart that indicates the potential to take action.
