Thanks for this esoteric balad in the world of Neptune-Pisces and the Hanged Man - some of my favorite themes. And as I'm currently wondering about Neptune in Aries, this is helpful

I've been thinking a lot about that ingress too. Last time Neptune was in Ares was at the start of the YS Civil War. I've been wondering what othe kind of dream might arise here.

First decan of Ares belongs to Mars, that's a double Mars dream. The minor Arcana Tarot card for that decan is the Two of Wands. A man in a high tower looks out over land and sea. He holds a globe in one hand, a wand in the other. Another wand waits close at hand. He must choose where he will go. Wands stand for will, passion, leadership. Where will we go, who will we follow, who will follow us.

Much to think about for sure.

Oof. The distant planets care not for our trivialities! I appreciate the polarity of mystics v drunkards for this Pisces season. These tides are alive in us all - so humbling. Thanks, Frank!

One of the most striking things about the Gods is how little regard they have for much beyond their office. Neptune bids us dream deeply. He doesn't care what we dream about, if that dream corresponds with reality or if we ever wake up. All the Gods are like that, Mars likes a fight, doesn't matter what it's about as long as it is fierce and goes on as long as possible. Venus wants us drunk with love and doesn't care much about the "appropriateness" of what or who we fall for.

We have all these wandering stars in our charts and in our hearts. It is on us to figure out how they coexist. Enough to keep us busy for a life time.

I have lately entertained this “figuring out how they coexist” as the totality of our unique creative expression. In this way, our life and the way we wield these energies is itself our personal work of art. A somewhat simple conclusion that I have embraced recently as part of my personal unraveling of old spiritual wounds.
