Neptune

Neptune is the positive ruler of Pisces. In other words, it represents the rate of vibration which alone is capable of performing true Piscean work. In the Latin lexicon nepa means water-scorpion.
It also refers to the three water (fluid) signs collectively—Pisces, Scorpio and Cancer. This implies that germs of life are to be found in water, or, more specifically, in fluid of which water forms a part. Nephale means a cloud, which of course is watery vapor. A nephalist is a total abstainer from spiritous liquor. This is essential if one wishes eventually to be able to create, and to respond to, the vibration of Neptune, the highest and finest force in the universe.
All things in existence have been said to, originate from water. This makes the true origin or source of anything, remote. The highest and finest vibration is naturally the farthest away from one’s conception. It is analogous, therefore, to concealment. The negative interpretation of Pisces is therefore deceit. The positive signification is perfection and purity.
In Greek mythology Neptune is the sea, the divine monarch of the ocean. The Saxons called Neptune BEN. This is interesting, for it at once calls to mind the Hebrew interpretation of Ben, which is SON, one of the carriers of the Ark. Benjamin was the thirteenth child, and was born near Bethlehem—the “house of bread.”
This is analogous to Virgo, the House of the Virgin, whence came the Bread of Life. The sixth house of the zodiac, and the sixth division of the human body, are perfected only because all twelve function perfectly, after becoming chemically perfect. Thirteen is analogous to the perfect thing created there from—therefore the Son.
The ancients pictured Neptune as having his palace in the depths of the sea, but he made his home on Olympus when he chose. As Aries is Olympus, the close relationship of these two signs is indicated. It is also analogous to the circulation of fluid from head to feet. The symbol of Neptune’s power was the trident, or three-pronged spear, analogous to the three decans of Sagittarius, the higher mind.
This trident was supposed to be used to catch fish. But there is a much better interpretation. An old word for spear is sprawn, which is a crustacean. Neptune’s chariot was drawn by two horses (Hippocampos) each having only two legs, the hinder part of the body being that of a fish. He was the son of Saturn (Cronus or Kronus), which is analogous to saying that he represented the water in the Urn.
There were two dynasties of the sea, Neptune representing the younger. The older, which flourished during the time of Saturn, refers to the fact that the first appearance of water or fluid was in the brain pan, or urn. Greek mythology informs us that from this older dynasty sprang three thousand rivers, and ocean-nymphs unnumbered. The brain pan or skull contains, and is the fountain-head of life, receiving the precipitated etheric vapors which constitute the cerebral esse.
Athens was the chosen seat of Neptune as well as Minerva, which literally means that fluid as well as wisdom has its source in Aries. It is said in mythology that “these two deities, during the reign of Cecrops (source of wisdom) the first king of Athens, had contended for the possession of the city (place of wisdom). The gods decreed that it should be awarded to the one who produced the gift most useful to mortals. Neptune gave the horse (Higher Mind); Minerva produced the olive. The gods awarded the city to the goddess, and after its Greek appellation it is named.” As the olive is the source of oil (Christ), the true interpretation of Minerva is the same as Virgo.
Neptune invades territory belonging to all the other gods—meaning that water penetrates everywhere and is present in all parts of the human body. He rules both fresh and salt water. He both protects and shakes the earth. The continuous oscillation of the latter is caused by the tremendous push and pull of water. When Neptune’s waters become foul, monsters are bred. This is analogous to impure blood. Neptune is the special ruler of the arterial blood. As earth-shaker, he causes convulsions of nature.
Orion, the Mighty Hunter (man), is the son of Neptune—literally brought forth from the water. The ancients pictured the two fishes of Pisces bonded together, the bond or ribbon running to Cetus, the Sea Monster, with one foot of the Lamb tangled in its double end. Pisces is also the god Dagon of the Philistines. It is the two fishes with which Jesus fed five thousand people.
A legend of this sign is, that “Venus and her son, Cupid, while sitting on the bank of the Euphrates, suddenly saw Typhon, the enemy of the gods, approaching them. They leaped into the river, and were saved from drowning by two fishes, who were afterwards placed in the heavens by Venus in gratitude for their help.” At last Venus and Cupid ascend into heaven—they are themselves the fishes, and are thus analogous to Neptune, or purified lives. As Venus and Cupid, they no longer exist.
As the last decan of Aquarius is ruled by Venus, being the Libra division of the sign, it joins Pisces. Venus, in the legend, is thus sitting on the bank of the river. The sea monster, which is an enemy of the gods, is carnality or lust. The two fishes of regeneration save them, and the transportation to heaven results.
“He (God) had his dwelling in the Great Sea, and was a fish therein.”—Zohar.
“So many fishes bred in the waters, and saved by one great fish,” says Tertullian of the Christians. (Blavatsky, S. D., Vol. II, p. 327). It is obvious that the “many fishes” referred to above are the corpuscles or life-germs. “One great fish” is the man-fish, or Jesus, the Divine germ which is the product of a purified and regenerated mind and body. This simply means being born again of water and the Spirit, Pisces and Aries. The circle of life is at last forged together with an adamantine link.
In Smith’s Bible Dictionary, we find that the word Dagon means “dear little fish, apparently the masculine correlative of Atargatis and the national god of the Philistines. Dagon was represented with the face and hands of a man and the tail of a fish.
In the Babylonian mythology the name Dagon (Odakon) is applied to a fish-like being who rose from the waters of the Red Sea as one of the great benefactors of man. The fish-like form was a national emblem of fruitfulness.” Humanity is never truly fruitful until the Divine Son is born. Fürst says: “The spiritual inspiration of God in man, gives spiritual power and physical life.” The word inspiration means to breathe in.
Pisces corresponds to the tribe of Naphtali in Biblical lore. Smith's Bible Dictionary states that "Naphtali occupied a position north of the Sacred Tent." As it is obvious that this Tent is none other than Aries, we may rest assured that the allocation is correct.
But we have another means of checking. Naphtha is derived from the same root as Naphtali, and as it means a cleansing, it is obvious that the arterial blood (which is the oxygenated blood) must contain a highly refined oil.
As the word for oil in Greek is Christ, it is clear what is meant by the statement that "the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin."
In very truth, the great work is for each one to so purify and perfect his blood that it becomes the Christ blood. [Dr George Carrey]
