In forming a bridge between body and mind, dreams may be used as a springboard from which man can leap to new realms of experience lying outside his normal state of consciousness and enlarge his vision not only of himself, but also of the universe in which he lives (Ann Faraday, Dream Power, 1972)
I personally am experiencing Neptune square my Mercury and Jupiter conjunct it, so dreams and escape is very much on my mind as Mercury rules my 9th and 12th house. I am struggling to stay focused on my work and to remember to pay the phone bill on time. But my dreams, ah there is another story; as long as I don’t try to make them conform to a concrete timetable I can watch them unfold. I can pick any dream I want, take it out, play with it and throw it up to catch the wind and let it blow through the collective consciousness for that is where our dreams go. How many times have you thought of something only to see it in print or on TV within a few days? Thought of an old friend or just a person in passing, only to have them call?
How long have 49 percent of us been dreaming of a new administration, a new better start since 2000? How long have we been wondering what would awaken the people to see our deep march into fascism? Could Neptune in a trine to the US Progressed Mars be bringing some of those dreams true? It’s certainly having an impact.
Republican Congressman Ron Paul has gone on record with his prediction that the impeachment of George W. Bush is right around the corner but warned that in the meantime the US was slipping perilously close to a dictatorship.

One thing a Neptune and Jupiter square will not bring you (with or without Mercury involved) is an absolute. It will bring the dream and it might even seem to be coming true only to be dashed against the rocks down the road. South Dakota’s idealistic romp into Roe v Wade, full of “god like” zealotry that Neptune square Jupiter can bring will wish they had given a little time to consider the ramifications. Mercury was retrograde at the signing just off the square to Pluto, there is a cold water shock waiting for them. Their first challenge will come in about 8 to 10 months as the progressed Moon sets up a T-square between Pluto and Mercury. That would be just about the time a new legislature in
SD would be sworn in and it might not be a GOP legislature.
Another ramification of the Jupiter/Neptune square can be found in Missouri where a Senator wants to put in their constitution that Christianity is the only recognized religion in Missouri. The owner of Domino’s Pizza is building a community of all Catholics in Florida, a Minister in South Carolina is trying to call all Fundamentalists to come to that state and form their own commune. We are going to have and hear the most outrageous religious demands over the next several months as the Fundamentalists take up what they are absolutely confidant is “God’s Mantle.” It’s been a few years since we’ve had a cult tell us where to go for the Rapture but expect to hear very soon.
Ports, Oil, Water, Rapture, new Religions (more bazaar than the last) will be part of the menu until the final pass of Jupiter to Neptune in three years there will be a Jupiter/Neptune conjunction, oh we will think about that in three years, but the last Jupiter/Neptune conjunction was in 1997 and the conservative right saw their dreams manifest as the prepared for Clinton's impeachment and dealt a death blow to the Democrats hope for recovery.
Mental Illness will be on the rise with this Jupiter/Neptune from Scorpio to Aquarius as people begins to dig deep into their psyche. I juxtaposition of “Arab in Iraq bad” “Arab in Dubai good” will rip a hole in the minds of all those who have believed the administration’s pronouncements that the enemy was in the Middle East and the enemy was, let me think, oh yes Arab.
After you have stocked up as much water as possible, and stored a little food and taken your remedies for improving your immune system, read poetry or write poetry; paint a picture, rent the movie “What Dreams May Come,” and “What the Bleep” and then the sequel “What the Bleep Down the Rabbit Hole,” give yourself a break from the insanity and use Jupiter/Neptune creatively as we watch our nightmares and dreams come true for this administration.
We can even dream of a new political party, one truly (at least for a time) committed to the people.
It isn’t just me that will be taken on that dreamer ride; all of us will need to place a firm grip on reality through the spring and summer, because if you think we’ve been in wonderland, I promise you the rabbit has just arrived.
