SPIRITUALIZING THE INTERNET: FACEBOOK & THE LAST OF THE NEPTUNE TRANSIT OF AQUARIUS
By wisdom | November 26, 2011
Many people have been posting slogans and graphics, posters and artwork to their Facebook page to be shared by the world. This is a natural thing, and noteworthy mainly because the content of many of these postings seems more uplifting than the usual. Even Friends of Friends on Facebook who are not in a holistic networked circle have been “infected” with the spirit of kindness! The beautiful images include many of the Earth, or from the Hubble Telescope, or the sweetness of nature, or composite images created in Photoshop or Illustrator that convey an idealized world. From where I sit, I’m interpreting these as both a yearning for a better, nicer, more Utopian world, as well as a call to action to achieve it. Postings have also represented a blending of the human race, a oneness of humanity, and a concern for the disadvantaged.
Everything described here can be corralled under the theme of spirituality: the desire for a direct experience, or a personal touch, in helping the world to reach the attractive state. This energy pattern has been in effect since January 29, 1998. During this period, Facebook itself has been metamorphosizing technologically, and has become the primary social network site. It has also morphed in flavor to reflect the soul of its members.
The fact that this spiritual idea exchange and promulgation is occurring on Facebook is a reflection of a unique astrological pattern that has been in effect for years, and is only now just completing: that is the long passage of Neptune, ruler of Pisces, traveling through Aquarius, ruler of technology and innovative science. We’re in the last phase of this energy pattern, which will end February 3, 2012, for a total of fourteen years. Neptune has done its task of bringing the fluidity and technological connectivity to people’s (ersatz) social experience. (Although Aquarius is a friendly sign, it’s not a sign of intimacy, so FB is the perfect platform to provide friendly connection without the perception of the distasteful [to some people] personal emotionality of normal entanglement.) From a distance, we can all be friends, humanitarians, seekers of peace, and wise mentors to each other.
It’s been an interesting pattern to observe. There have been other ways that cyberspace has been used more and more during this transit to further humanitarian causes, connect disparate people, champion charitable causes, and in other ways serve the planet from, if not always a clear and fully enlightened perspective, at least a heartfelt one. Even if the world is chaotic, on FB all is becoming ever more beautiful!
Cheers for the last passage of Neptune through Aquarius, and cheers for its prior journey of mutual reception with Uranus (having ended March 12, 2011) as it serves the higher calling/cause/task of bringing forth the New Human – a more illuminated and empathetic creature! Who would’ve thought that combining technology and vision would bring about a beautiful cyberspace world!
What can we expect when Neptune enters its own sign, Pisces, and floods us with even more oceanic connectivity and compassion? It should be interesting! Maybe we can bring cyber-paradise down to earth.
