THE PLAGUE ASPECT, SATURN TO NEPTUNESaturn with Neptune square or semisquare, opposed or conjunct happens rarely. When it does, this researcher feels it is linked to events of world plague, endemic illness. Saturn rules endings, hardship, challenge. NEPTUNE adds some form of spiritual torment, of giving up, death embracing, emotional distance, emot. hangover, emotional scar, the sense of depression. Combine them you have CHAOS, DISSOLUTION, bad health even world plagues.
NEPTUNE shows the element of toxins that live in water being necessary for illness. Where NEPTUNE is when the plague starts is where the bacillus is. If Things are moist that year or they chill, (and under Sat/Nep aspect, tropical countries in Asia had freezes that killed thousands.) Things dissolve or end in front of your eyes.
Mental illness is a Sat/Nep condition. Self judgement, a Saturn event, events in our PAST, also ruled by SATURN, afflicted by NEPTUNE of fear, guilt, paranoia, so we brood about something not quite real. And that is madness.
THe Sat/Nep aspect or transits specially affects CAPRICORN rising natives, (saturn ruled) or PISCES rising, (Neptune ruled.) Depending on what SATURN rules, what NEPTUNE rules, something is withering, has illness, or it can be a relationship is sick. In your lifetime, when this is transited, you can expect toxins which produce SICKNESS to affect kidneys. Most important you stay away from rodents, so keep plenty of cats. Rodents give hanta virus. Frequently, HEAL/SERVE and sacrifice acts are required. They are this morning. Ponder how it is that when we are men we serve; when we are Gods we are SERVED. Notice where you might change your karma, (Neptune is karma) with a DISCIPLINE by serving some school force, some master, to BECOME or personify it. You might not be able to change dire things you spot now, not without concerted effort over a long period of time but get on it with the VOWS. We only create change with observation that habits aren't working, then vows to act, then actually acting. Saturn and NEPTUNE are slow moving aspects, so this is a slow, malefic square. Today the structure of someone's life is A MESS. You see unwellness, endings starting to manifest. See what needs to be done to correct this. TALK TO elderly people who may need help. Trade your work service for their unexpected ideas/ wisdom. You'll be rewarded. CALL: Advisors, counselors, priests, teachers, old persons, healers, experts, hermits who left the marketplace, retired individuals; ask what THEY need. Go there. SERVE, get KNOWLEDGE in return. SATURN makes us a disciple. (The root of the word means 'learner.) NOW we are in a LEARNING mood because life is harsh. Spiritual practice is needed and we will DO IT. SATURN is practice, discipline, sacrifice, alleviating pain. Ours or others. MAKE THE DISTINCTION in your thoughts between the visible YOU form and the INVISIBLE, inner place where you are the CREATOR of outward forms, (your life, environ). Say "God and I are one." and CHANGE your outer by perfecting it, dumping the old, cleaning.
THERE ARE some really negative days here, especially when MOON links with SATURN square NEPTUNE. As the aspect lasts for months, and SATURN always rules economic community, I suspect we will see the stock market wither and stay cool.
I look back at other conjunctions or squares in history. I want to start with the worst events ever to hit the planet. Scientists agree that one record event was in February 535 AD, when Krakatoa blew up, sending an immense cloud of sulphur and ash into the sky (NEPTUNE was in AQUARIUS, an air sign, so air toxins resulted,) and the planet went dark for l8 months. In Rome, they recorded l8 months with no sunlight. The volcanic winter chill immediately awakened the bubonic microbe in rats. Those who didn't die from the plague died from starvation.
Gene tracing scientists can see most of humanity dying at that point in time. The Krakatoa explosion has been Rectified to FEB 4, (The chinese heard the explosion all the way to CHINA, and they supplied the Feb date. That day the 4th, we have MOON adding its weight to conjunction of URANUS AND SATURN both of which were opposed to NEPTUNE.
IN late SPRING 1348, Mars in VIRGO (again, rodents) opposed Saturn in PISCES, (death,) and Neptune simultaneously was in semisquare ASPECT to Saturn and stayed with it, tightly for a half year, unfortunately just during the heat and flea season resulting in BLACK PLAGUE exploding across Europe for that whole half year period. The entire Spring, Summer, Fall while the two stayed in aspect, one of the longest Sat/Nep transits on record, Fleas and continual rain persisted and 1/3 of all the people in Europe died.
In Late May 1720, with Saturn 20 Scorp, Neptune 20 Taurus, some infected rats got off a Syrian trading boat in Marseilles Harbor and created a half year long bout of bubonic plague that took half the city's population, 50 out of l00 thousand people. The only people who didn't get ill were those who worked with horses, as rats won't go near horses. PLUTO in VIRGO of rodents, had the mar/sat midpoint that week.
Sat/Nep conjuncted in LEO in l9l7 and we had the first, isolated cases of a killer Flu which really took wing in September l9l8. This flu acted by giving a long, high fever and stopping the HEART, ruled by Leo, the sign where they conjuncted.
In the early 1950's, when SAT/NEP conjuncted in Libra, we had a polio epidemic. The polio virus attacked the SPINE ruled by Libra. I have seen charts where the conjunction was in the first house, Libra right on the ascendant, with planets square it and that person did indeed get polio. What's more without asking, I TOLD the lady she had polio and she told me I was right.
In l989 when Saturn and Neptune conjuncted in CAPRICORN, we had the AIDS plague. Capricorn rules the bones where T-cells are produced or NOT produced, as in the case of this illness and in the case of leukemia.
In l998, with a square, not a conjunction, I expected a new plague. Taurus rules throat, Aquarius veins. Squares notoriously affect people with LEO, heart problems, and Scorpio regenerative organ diseases. Chronic Fatigue seems to me to be showing up under this. Four corners disease, HANTA got started in USA.
At that time many books emerged about plagues showing up in AFRICA. I hear of the rising tide of NON AIDS immune deficiency diseases, chronic fatigue syndrome and how we all must go back to organically grown, unsprayed, high mineral vegetables in raw salads, several times a day, and raw juices extracted from them, to maintain optimum vibrancy and immediately plan to get my juicer off the shelf and standing OUT in the kitchen. I've read many books on exotic killer viruses showing up in America.
There was a wave of killer flus in 2003, when SATURN AND NEPTUNE linked. It started DEC 2002 in China, and lasted through spring 2003, the exact period that SATURN IN GEMINI was sesquiquad to NEPTUNE in AQUARIUS. Air born.
What can we do to be watchful? MARK the ephemeris ahead of time with red ink, linking saturn and neptune with highlighter and seeing how long the spread continues. Saturn in LEO would link with NEPTUNE in AQUARIUS starting August 2006 and stay linked until END OF JULY 2007. But in the case of the other flu in 1918, it started with an orb of ten degrees, or in 1917.
People with the RISING SIGN of CAPRICORN whose ruler is that SATURN will tend to catch the disease in the street, as NEPTUNE rules their third house. THIRD house is also mind and speech. When Cappie rising folks are ill, they offend others being demanding, controlling, critical. NUTS as Sat/Nep are linked.
People with PISCES rising WILL catch the disease from close friends as they have Saturn ruling llth house. NOTICE that associates tend to blow a fuse at them as if they were the victim figure.
LIBRA rising has Capricorn on the fourth cusp so family members are run down and afflicted. They'll note that a home/family /parent matter is tiresome. Or just plain TIRED before hand. That is the person who will become ill first.
HOW TO DETER ILLNESS- Viricides, herbs that kill garlic, Google up their name. Puhlenty of garlic and hot chicken soup, Lemon juice in it. Laughter routs all disease. Rent comedic films, when you're fighting off a bug, watch them at home in bed, keeping the aura merry.. Eat at home, no cafes. How hard is it to boil a chicken with a lot of carrots and onions?
If you fear rat born diseases, keep a cat, Remind your pals that cats keep rodents away from the house so get a FEMALE POUND CAT and her kittens. KEEP HORSES as no rat will come near a property with a horse aroma.
Other planets wander into an affliction. Watch to see if this SAT/NEP mundane transit is squared by any other planet, Mars...Aries rising people would be exposed. Mercury. Children would be exposed. Determine when Sat/Nep transits fall on your chart. IF these two planets gang up on any planet of yours, by transit, you or the person ruled in your chart by that planet, might become ill. But what if SATURN transists your NEPTUNE or NEPTUNE transits your natal chart ruler. Get thelast five pages of DELL HOROSCOPE MAGAZINE and Take note of the day when MOON will move to add its weight to that transit, thusly setting it off and see if you can stay out of crowds. .
