CHAPTER XVIL NEPTUNE, THE PLaNet op Diyintry
URANUS is the octave of Venus and acts
principally upon the love nature, aiming to elevate mankind in matters personal and sociul, so Neptune is the octave of Mereury, and altogether spiritual in its aims. As Mercury is Lighthearer of the physical Sun, so Neptune is Lighthearer for the spiritual Sun, (called Vulean by the Western Mys- ties), Intellectuality, ruled by Mereury lifted us above the animal and made man man, the Spiritual- ity ruled by Neptune will in time raise us beyond the state of the human and make us divine.
Neptune really signifies what we may call ‘‘the gods’? commencing with the supernormal beings we know as Elder Brothers, and compassing the innum- erable hosts of spiritual entities, good, bad, and indiff- erent, which influence our evolution. Its position and aspeets denote our relation to them; mal- efic aspects attract agencics of a nature inimical to our welfare, benefice configurations draw upon the good forces, Thus, if Neptune is placed in the Tenth Tlouse, trine to the ascendant, the person involved will have the opportunity to become a leader or promi- nent in a movement along mystical lines as denoted 380
