1This planet is the most recently discovered of the primary planets, and constitutes the present “scientific frontier,” so to say, of modem astronomy. But, it is not the last, as there are others still more re¬ mote, whose action upon the mental and nervous constitution of man¬ kind, at present, is nil. Each orb becomes visible to our earth only when the planetary life which it evolves is susceptible to the action and re-action of its influx. But at present the influence of Neptune is very small, except upon certain organisms; therefore, we are not prepared for the revolutions of still more ethereal forces. As the race evolves higher susceptibilities, the influence of Uranus and Neptune will increase, and that of Mercury and Venus will wane. Neptune ex¬ presses all the higher qualities at present known to us. 272 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT Astrologieally considered, Neptune is the octave expression of the planet Venus; consequently, its influx relates to the afifectional and emotional qualities. This love, however, is purely platonic, and at present, ideal. The influence is mild and genial, but it possesses no power of the lower orb upon vitality; consequently, is utterly power¬ less to sustain physical life when the Hyleg is afflicted, either by posi¬ tion or direction. This must be borne in mind or serious error will occur in astro-delineations.
2From what has been stated, it will be apparent to the reader that the present generation has very little affinity with such ethereal in¬ fluence; therefore, the chief points to watch are those wherein Nep¬ tune is located in the ascendant, mid-heaven, seventh house and lower meridian. At these points, only, will the influx be strongly man¬ ifested, or, in other words, when the planet is “angular.” Upon the Intellectual Plane, Neptune controls the platonic spirit of Universal Brotherhood which, strangely enough, since the planets visible manifestation has been so loudly preached and theoretically accepted, but practically, entirely ignored by those who are most clamorous for its general recognition. Those dominated by its influx are pleasant, agreeable, pure, simple and also romantic. They desire the simple arcadian life of the golden age. They sigh for all things in common; consequently, they are considered by modern thinkers as impractical visionaries. The world of Neptune's influx is decidedly Utopian.
3Upon the Physical Plane, this planet has but little influence in the present age. His aspects (when powerful) with the Sun and Moon, tend greatly towards the production of clairvoyance. If located in the ascendant, Neptune always produces large, blue, dreamy-looking eyes. In fact, the eyes of such natives are the most conspicuous fea¬ ture they possess. This position also confers a strong predilection for books of romance and an aversion to hard, dry, matter-of-fact science; also, strangely enough, such natives manifest an aversion to water. When located in the 10th. house, the native generally obtains some pleasant, easy position, such as private secretary to some nobleman or philosophical institution; where the duties are light and the salary more or less heavy in proportion to the absence of actual work. When in the 7th. house, such a position indicates a pleasant married life, THE NATURE AND INFLUENCE OF THE STARS 273 and if, in aspect with the Moon, with a rather impractical partner. In the 4th. house, it is a testimony of a natural death. THE LOST ORB ★ >
