Mars-Neptune conjunction aspects are a regular occurrence – around every two years – and Mars, the planet of war, hate and violence provides an avalanche of breaking news stories.
The 20th-century was a killing field. In two world wars millions were killed in horrors too dreadful to contemplate. They were taken out suddenly, blown to bits, gassed, shot or bayoneted.
Many made satisfactory adjustments to their new life on the inner-world plane where they now found themselves. And those who had some knowledge of after-life conditions were more easily reached and helped by the nurses and healers there.
But so many were forced abruptly from physical life, that there are great numbers in whom hatred, revenge, lust for blood and all the brutal desires engendered by war continue to linger.
These, by their thoughts and desires, are still bound to the Earth and seek some way by which they can satisfy their craving to inflict injury on the enemy.
Thus, close to the Earth in the frequency of their vibratory rates, are vast throngs of combatants who still have war in their hearts.
They crave some redress for the agonies they have suffered and endured.
This invisible legion who still hope for opportunity to punish their foes find little opportunity to express themselves on the physical plane or to influence its affairs in the hum-drum pursuits of everyday life.
But when people think about their injustices, when they talk of hate, and especially when some instrument of the invisible warlords lashes them with their oratory into intense feelings of desire for reprisal and revenge, their nervous systems then tune their etheric currents in on the same thoughts and desires held by the invisible legion.
Harsh and unjust economic and political conditions stir the hearts of people to discontentment, resentment, desperation and violence.
This, however, is only half the story.
Because hovering over the populace, still seeking an avenue by which to carry on the war in which they were slain, is a multitude of earthbound souls who hope to eventually right what they consider to be an ancient wrong.
The inside story
Except for those who are unusually negative and mediumistic, most people – so long as their feelings are not aroused – are not greatly influenced by these discarnate warriors who have not yet made proper adjustment to their new plane of life.
The vibration of peacetime thoughts is too dissimilar to permit a ready exchange of energies with those still dominated by injustice and war.
When, however, people are lashed to frenzy by the oratory of some jingo leader, or when their burdens and injustices cause them to cry out their hate, this feeling tunes their nervous systems to the same vibratory frequency as that of the war-mad discarnate soldiers.
Then the etheric currents flowing over their nerves pick up, in full volume, the thoughts and commands of the invisible legion.
Under such conditions, those whose reason counsels avoidance of further strife, whose correct appraisal of values makes them realize the futility of war, become so dominated by the invisible intelligences they have tuned in on, that, for the time being, they are as irresponsible as the members of a mob who have raided a jail for a lynching.
Through such a process, although unconscious of its source, a whole nation sometimes is plunged into a craze to destroy.
The other invisible factor, the astrological influence, operates in a not dissimilar manner.
Astrological energies
Planetary influences are energies of the astral, or fourth-dimensional, plane, comparable to weather conditions on the Earth.
They’re continually bombarding the Earth and their radiations may be harmonious or discordant.
The aspects in a birth chart are stellar aerials which are tuned to pick up certain of these planetary vibrations, and to not pick up others.
However, in addition to the planetary energies which normally are picked up, and which consequently influence their lives, people also tune in, by their thoughts and feelings, on corresponding planetary vibratory rates.
So you have the ability, through the use of your thoughts and feelings, to tune your nervous system in on the planetary vibrations you desire to receive.
They’re the means by which, in great measure, you can control your destiny.
By your thoughts and acts, you build into yourself the aerials indicated by the aspects in your birth chart, and nations build into the lives of their populace, the stellar aerials which pick up certain planetary vibrations freely and other planetary vibrations scarcely at all.
Mars-Neptune conjunction aspects
Mars-Neptune conjunction aspects shed their vibrations upon the whole world; but certain peoples pick them up, radio fashion, more strongly, and are influenced by them, while other peoples, whose thinking is different, feel the influence very little.
Mars-Neptune conjunction aspects in the sky sign for strife, conflict, warfare and acts of violence.
And because Neptune influences the reception of unseen vibrations, and because Mars is the military planet, they provide the invisible legion of war and strife with an opportunity to make itself felt, particularly in the world’s conflict zones.
The astral weather indicated by a Mars-Neptune conjunction aspect strongly tunes the nervous systems of the populace in on the thoughts and desires of the discarnate war-mad soldiers.
They’re maintaining the rage and fighting for mighty causes and each in-sky Mars-Neptune conjunction sets the scene for many human souls dominated by a mood of anger, confrontation and hate to fall under their influence and control.
