The need for love is the deepest longing in our psyche. If we don't have love and connection in our life we feel empty, depressed and lonely. Then the world out there appears as a dark and frightening place! If love is our true nature, anything less than the experience of love will be more than frustrating. When we experience love and that deep human connection with others we are in an exalted state of consciousness which feels wonderful, satisfying and joyous. This is our birthright! This is what we all want and need to be truly happy. Astrology can be very helpful in gaining clarity about your needs and potential in the area of love, friendship and intimate relationships.
In astrology we have three different planets to enlighten ourselves about the matters of the heart. The positions of your Moon, Venus and Neptune will tell their story according to their placement in your horoscope.
First, I look at the Moon position to inquire about the reigning needs of your heart and soul. The Moon is telling me what is needed for you to experience happiness and joy. Second, I look at your Venus to know about the specifics of your requirements with intimacy for successful relationships. Third, the position of your Neptune tells me about your striving for unconditional love and how you can achieve the higher perspective of oneness and harmony in a deepening connection with the divine.
While Moon and Venus might give me a very specific perspective into your personal needs in your love life, Neptune points toward a more trans-personal dimension of what your spirit needs to be nourished and replenished.
Neptune rules the sign of Pisces and is thought of as the Mystic or Seer, representing your connection with the divine and higher dimensions of consciousness. Neptune is symbolizing your search and longing for that higher, expanded level of consciousness we call unconditional love.
In the lower frequencies Neptune can point to a weakness or even an addiction to drugs and alcohol as a shortcut to a changed state of consciousness. I have seen many charts with a dominant position of Neptune and people struggling with addictions till they turned their life around and on to a spiritual journey. The magic of Neptune is that if you can satisfy the longing for a higher state of consciousness through other means like meditation, then the addiction can fall away. The deep inner longing that Neptune instills in us is part of our inner nature; this longing for God needs to be fulfilled!
With our fast paced lives, the amount of time we spend in front of a computer screen and with all the responsibilities we have to fulfill, it is so easy to lose your inner calm and balance. So it seems we have many good reasons to make time for a daily meditation practice.
There are many ways to practice meditation. The aim and result is always the same. It calms the mind, raises your consciousness, connects you with the realms of divine guidance, peace, joy and creativity as well as truly brings you into the present moment.
