Saturn-Neptune Themes for Discussion and Meditation
- Health and Wellness: Under past alignments and currently, have I had health (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) fears or challenges? What is my vision for greater health and wellness and rest/sleep?
- Mastery of Flow: The Ultimate Alignment for Developing Skill With Flow States.
- Mastery of Challenging States of Consciousness/ Serious explorations of Consciousness
- Integrating your spiritual vision into all structures of your life, including your career. Maturing your spiritual/Neptunian career.
- Addiction/recovery spectrum. Escapism vs Facing your Fears
- Disillusionment and Grief. Your spiritual cosmology, your career structure, your important relationships. Experience of important institutions. Your political worldview.
Questions for journaling:
1. How have you been working to manifest your spiritual vision since the last alignment from end of 2014 to end of 2016 until now? How will you work to manifest your vision between now and the spring of 2027?
What is the vision you’ve been bringing into reality since ‘14-‘17, and how can you complete the process over the next 2 years?
2. What is your vision for health and wellness for the next two years? What are some very real/practical intentions for protecting your health and your need for sleep/rest?
3. How will you be a master of flow these next two years?
4. Did you mature spiritually during these alignments? Did you, and how will you, take your spiritual practice to the next level these next 2 years? How will you make ‘25-‘26 your psycho-spiritual masterpiece?
5. How have you learned to work with challenging states of consciousness, and what is your intention for the next two years for avoiding these, or working with them should they come?
6. Where are you on the addiction/recovery spectrum in different areas of your life? How have you been escaping from reality, and how can you go further towards facing reality?
7. Did you (’14-’17), and how will you (’25-’27), take your spiritual cosmology to a new level of maturity?
8. Did you integrate, and how will you integrate, your spiritual life into your career to the next level?
Think about Saturn and Neptune being in alignment with you and bringing you lessons, tests, opportunities for growth. They are great planetary teachers/ coaches coming together to give advanced seminars on the spiritual path.
Mastery of Flow means mastery of skills in something you love.
