Neptune in Pisces 2011 - 2026


Part 3: Neptune in Pisces - 2011 - 2026
The ingresses of Neptune into Pisces, a look at previous years with Neptune in Pisces, what to expect this time around….


On April 4 2011, the planet Neptune begins its journey through Pisces, another symbolic key enhancing the shift in human consciousness slowly unfolding on our planet. Neptune has strong associations with Pisces, both water energy, both belonging to a realm of the mysterious, the inspired and the imagined. Both have no boundaries, build no barriers, escapist and mystical in attitude. Neptune swims quite freely in this watery and boundless sign. We find no wave breakers in Pisces for Neptune as we consider a world letting loose and moving forward with what must be done, changed, seeded, even destroyed as we look optimistically towards the future.

During its sojourn in the fixed sign of Aquarius, Neptune has had its bounds , has been far more restricted than is its nature. Every planet has a particular purpose in a sign , each planet spends different times in a sign depending on its orbit. Neptune will enter Pisces in April 2011, leave at the beginning of August and return in early February 2012 where it will stay until 2026 . With every passage through a sign a planet is either considered an el supremo guest, a friend, an enemy or a pain in the arse! Neptune moving into Pisces is the el supremo guest as Pisces can and will deliver anything Neptune may demand or ask for. Neptune doesn’t ask for the tangible, he doesn’t even ask, he sends messages, waves and undercurrents and Pisces responds. Together these two create an overwhelming image, one so full of the imaginative, wild, out of this world, inspired ideas, concepts and passionate actions ever experienced, but also perhaps the most depraved and destructive. The destructive element comes in as Pisces being the last sign of the zodiac, the one concerned with the next cycle, destroys that which is not appropriate for the next wave.

Neptune last spent time in a water sign in Scorpio in the 1960’s when peace, love, flower power, drugs and open sexuality changed our world and our cultural attitudes. Now just think, Scorpio is a fixed sign and still all this happened, shifted and changed! This also had much to do with the revolutionary presence of a Pluto Uranus conjunction in mid Virgo throughout this time. Despite Virgo’s restraint and Scorpio’s fixity we still experienced a world in revolutionary fervour. This is mindboggling when we consider the coming planetary line-up. This time we have Neptune in the mutable sign of Pisces, with Uranus in Aries demanding the freedom to express itself, squaring Pluto in Capricorn. The cardinal energy of fire and earth will challenge the world and its governing foundations. Not much restraint with this combination, as Uranus fuels change, Pluto demolishes established rules and Neptune infuses inspiration. These three outer planets all work together to encourage us to construct a new and better world.

Pisces imaginatively germinates and nurtures the seeds of the future . With Uranus’ sojourn through Pisces in the past seven years we witnessed the churning of the waters and the seeding ideas of what must change. With Uranus in Aries those seeds begin to sprout and some have already done so. Neptune will now connect the fragmented pieces of the Uranian turmoil and weave them magically back together . Germinating the seeds of the future , has much to do with what we allow ourselves to believe and hope for. With this passage we are challenged to trust in a future we can’t see but can only imagine. From the personal microcosm to the global macrocosm, these two energies create greater access to highly passionate and emotional experiences and actions, collective inspiration and insightful motivation. We are also prompted to think of all invisible energies, ephemeral, mysterious and mystical. With this journey the paranormal becomes normal. We step into the oceanic realm of the spiritual and the divine, where the swimmer doesn’t follow a particular current, but swims to what feels right, what smells good, what looks the best, senses working overtime for sure.

It’s interesting to look back previous eras when Neptune journeyed through Pisces to get an idea of what we may expect this time round. What becomes apparent with hindsight is that boundaries were broken, radical ideas were germinated which led to paradigm shifts in human consciousness. These times seemed to add to our understanding of ourselves as part of the world and the greater universe. What spawned during these times had far reaching and long lasting influences that didn’t seem to be integrated immediately, but slowly permeated our world view , human psyche, wisdom and knowledge. Many influential philosophies, theories and practices developed about the connection between body, mind and spirit and the power of healing that are still very much part of our world view today and will be added to and developed during this phase of the cycle.

Here are some of the inspiring and significant ideas that I found transpired during previous Neptune in Pisces eras. Not all periods are noted and by no means is this complete :

443 – 430 BCE
- Empedocles writes on the four humours : blood , yellow bile, black bile and phlegm.
Later these became associated with the four elements and then the four humours.
- Meron establishes the four solstice points.
- The Parthenon was built. A 13 metre statue of Zeus was built in Athens

280-267 BCE
- Zeno of Citium (334 - 262 BCE) a Greek philosopher founded the Stoic School of Philosophy emphasising the goodness and peace of mind gained from living a life of virtue in accordance with nature

1029 – 1043 CE
- Abd All?h ibn S?n?’ (980-1037CE) created the first Pharmocopeia, a great synthesis of practice which included arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music, earth science, philosophy, metaphysics, psychology, physiology. He was also the first known person to study infectious diseases and the benefits of quarantine.
- On May 24, 1032, he observed the earliest recorded transit of Venus.

1520 – 1534 CE
- Copernicus gave his first talk on the sun centred solar system to Pope Clement VII, the idea was spawned.
- Magellan's first circumnavigation of the globe was completed in 1522.
- Paracelsus (1493 -1541) physician, botanist, alchemist, astrologer - did most of his great work during this time. Pioneering the of use of chemicals and minerals in medicine. He used the 7 metals, 7 known planets associating them with 7 organs known as the Great Idea of Harmony, the macrocosm and the microcosm.

1684 – 1698 CE
- Isaac Newton published Principia in 1687. Newtonian mechanics explained the laws of gravity, laws of motion and the universe as a mechanical machine. Newtonian physics dominated the scientific view of the laws of the Universe for 300 years The idea that God created the universe and left it to work on its own came from Newtonian theory.
- The Salem witch hunts and trials

1848-1862 CE
- Darwin published The Origin of Species in 1859 expounding the theory of Evolution
- Marx published The Communist manifesto in 1848.
- The first plastic was invented by Alexander Parkes in 1855.
- The world's first commercial oil well was drilled in Poland in 1853.
- James Clerk Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism into a single theory, classical electromagnetism, thereby showing that light is an electromagnetic wave.
- Dr John Snow traces the source of one outbreak of cholera in London to a single water pump, validated his theory that cholera is water-borne thus beginning the study of epidemiology.
- The first public exhibition of a Foucault pendulum took place in February 1851 in the Meridian Room of the Paris Observatory.
- American Express was founded by Henry Wells & William Fargo.
- Solar flares were discovered by Richard Christopher Carrington (1853 -1861).
- The Production of steel was revolutionized by the invention of the Bessemer process
- The first commercially successful sewing machine made by Isaac Singer.

Most of the above are now fully integrated into our lifestyles and consciousness. Many of the above we can’t imagine living without. With this next long transit many of the above are up for review: the theory of evolution, our global economies reliance on oil, the pervasive use of plastic. We must also review our healing techniques and medicines and how the way we perceive our environment impacts on our well-being.

It is crystal clear from the ingress chart above that when Neptune moves into Pisces new beginnings are being channelled. The dominant presence of planets in Aries heralds a new cycle. Uranus and Mars conjunct are the prime motivators leading the way, ahead of the Sun, highlighting an active and restless period ahead, one full of drive and action. There is no stopping us now. The Jupiter Sun alignment heightens and expands this urge, the need for growth and expansion and truth. There is a strong urge for freedom from the constraints of the past. Eris the freedom fighter is prominent with Mercury and the Moon. She is the goddess of discord, awakening us to the world wide mess we have created. Saturn now in the last months of its waxing cycle with Jupiter, opposes Jupiter and the Sun, exposing the great imbalance. Saturn’s job at this pivotal point is to discipline us toward balance. A new cycle urges us on regardless and the Saturnian parts of life, attitudes of the past and the authority, will find it difficult to hold on and affirm themselves unless they attune to the developing principles and attitudes of change.

A new moon signals the freshness of this time and with a retrograde Mercury closely conjunct we are all very perceptive as the future and past come into light. Mercury and Moon align harmoniously with the karmic Nodes enabling us to make thoughtful change. The seeds of change are being nurtured by Ceres, Venus and Chiron in Pisces. Our past unwillingness to change comes back to haunt us.

With Neptune at zero Pisces, we will have a long opposition to the fixed star Regulus. Regulus is moving to 0 Virgo in November 2011 (according to Solar Fire) heralding a shift from a Leo inspired world, based on leaders , kings, gold, the drive to succeed and be known and be better than the rest, full of egocentric attitudes, to a Virgo ruled world, where the sacred, earth, and a service to Gaian principles move us to want to make things work better. This is the new version of the archetypal hero’s journey. The new heroes will be those attuned to the service of the Earth and the Sacred and technology will become king. Regulus moving to Virgo is a hugely potent symbol of the great shift in consciousness. With the opposition to Neptune in Pisces we will undoubtedly have a changing of the old guard.


The final ingress:
February 4th 2012 5:03 AM, Melbourne, Australia.

Venus is exalted in Pisces, honouring Neptune and encouraging us to move closer to a relationship with grace and the divine. This chart indicates that priorities are shifting. Retrograde Mars opposes Venus suggesting a refocusing and reminding us that directing new energy won’t be easy. These twos planetary partners form a T-square with the Moon in Gemini, the rethinking process is complicated. Jupiter in Taurus, a powerful image of nature and resources is opposite Saturn indicating the deliberate steps that must be made for us to move forward with integrity. Mercury is again aligned with the Nodes and this time with the Sun in the rational light of Aquarius. This is indicative of a better attitude about working together. This time Ceres with Uranus at the beginning of Aries, gives great hope in having changed our minds about our neglect of Gaia. She may be retaliating at this stage, with the square to Pluto approaching. Chiron opens doors to the heavenly realm as it nears the conjunction with Formalhaut, the mouth of the fish, wide open inviting us to the unknown. I look forward to the world reshaping itself around us.

What’s to come? Pisces and Neptune conjure inspiration and hope, with the globe at absolute crisis point we may expect the following to take precedence and flourish:

Water energy and all issues to do with water as a resource
A sense of needing more nourishment, reviving, healing, strong, unavoidable feelings
Doing without, depletion, giving up, who cares attitudes
Collective sacrifice, giving, involvement, passionate connecting
Focus on hope, vision, creativity
Mayhem, anything goes, no control,
Freedom from ties, moving away from the ordinary
The development of a greater understanding and trust of invisible energies
Psychic potential, healing with the paranormal, telekinesis, remote viewing, levitation, precognition, magnetism, telepathy,
Butterfly effects, following trends, 100th Monkey syndrome, crowds, masses
Ideas merging, sharing, seeding • Previously inaccessible information becomes available
Ideas, concepts, discoveries that greatly influence and shape our worldview
Ideas, attitudes, trends that spread, take flight, take off, be totally unrestrained - and therefore also potentially super dangerous.
People finding ways of doing things, getting away from restraints and restrictions, doing it for themselves and their communities
Undercover, underground, behind the scenes developments of all kinds- where there is a will, a need, there will be a way found, spies, secrets

In the fashion world – expect, or get creative!

Lots of greens, blues purples, whites and even blacks(still)
The saviour, Jesus, mystical look
Long flowing gowns, embellished coats and jackets, fine details, buttons,
• Renaissance man.
• The Prince look, the guru,
Spray on clothing, clothes that don’t need washing
Sandals. Bare feet.
• Wild shoes and styles never seen before, nor imagined

Outta this world creations, space, universe inspired

.
With Neptune into Pisces we can expect a sensitivity about many things often ignored. Pisces senses and perceives and most of all feels its way. Neptune inspires and together they indicate highly passionate times ahead. There will develop a better sense of how we as a species perceive and sense our environment, a closer connection to all around us will further unfold. What we believe about the future and what’s possible is how we can be motivated and drawn to act in this time. It is about survival, saving ourselves from ourselves, the seeds planted now are crucial to our common future. There is a great capacity here for healing, for getting back to nature, the planet and ourselves as we move to a realm of invisible sources and gently ride with an inspired spirit over matter, what really matters, will come to light.

Pisces being the 12th sign, and Neptune in the sign of its modern rulership now the outermost major planet since Pluto’s demotion, we are at a point of letting go, surrendering, taking off to different waters, deeper and more fulfilling experiences and heightened awareness. With this attitude our understanding of the universal, that which binds us all, oneness, a greater understanding of universal consciousness, its implications and power, will be germinating the vital seed for future development. This all seems wonderfully apt and appropriate for the changes upon us, as quite often said, “The current worldview can no longer sustain us” .The energies of Neptune and Pisces open us to channels, vibes, undercurrents from everywhere and ask us to source a more inspired way of living together on planet earth. Let us have faith as we navigate our Gaian ship through these unchartered waters.

"The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical.
It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead.

To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."

PART 2 - Neptune's Return - The birth of a New Cycle.

Galileo's first sighting of Neptune 1612*

Galileo first sighted Neptune in 1612, when Neptune was exactly conjunct Jupiter at 26 Virgo. He mistook Neptune for one of Jupiter’s Moons. This seems an appropriate introduction for the planet that would come to symbolize the mysteries of life, the unseen and the confusing and also its co-rulership of Pisces with the traditional ruler, Jupiter.

Neptune was discovered on the 23rd September 1846, Berlin - 9:00pm**

We now have the return of Neptune to its discovery degree. Neptune returns three times to this point, 25’53 Aquarius, twice in direct motion, once retrograde and stations direct one minute away from the exact discovery point on 5 November, 2010. The first direct return was April 11, 2009 and the second was February 7, 2010. If we take into account Neptune's precessed position from discovery in 2010, to be 28 '10 Aquarius we note that Neptune returns here during 2010 and also into 2011 ***. With these Returns a new cycle of Neptune begins.

All charts live on and continue informing and pulsating, the more we look the more we see, the more we see the more we uncover. In this study I will only address a few ideas and connections, as Neptune’s tentacles are vast and far reaching with too many avenues of exploration. My aim is to consider connections of the discovery chart and how that ties into 2010 and Neptune Return charts. Firstly the discovery chart has a zero degree Libra Sun. Neptune’s Return years during 2009 and 2010 could be considered more influential as the T-square formation at zero degrees of cardinals reflect a Neptunian tinge, with the discovery Sun at this zero Libra degree.

Pluto and Uranus in Aries in this discovery chart indicate new energies, collective change and transformation was also part of this discovery. Pluto sextiles the Neptune/Saturn conjunction, forming a yod that points to Mars in Virgo. This yod, then, is associated with power, corporations and control, monopolies that have been built around the “new energy” of the time, Oil. Oil has been associated with Neptune, as the discovery of oil and it’s use coincided with Neptune’s discovery. The focal point of the yod is Mars and as we know power games over the world’s oil reserves have been the prime motivator for many wars and numerous financial, nationalistic and political agendas ever since.

Mars is at 25 Virgo and Sedna is at 26 Pisces opposite this point. Mars in Virgo, with Mercury and Venus, suggest the ecological concerns we now face due to the careless use and production of this precious commodity, especially it seems in our oceans. The mighty oil industry, the wars that would ensue, the cover ups that would be fabricated and the health of our peoples and environments are all indicated in the discovery chart. Sedna’s position in the chart has been activated this year by Uranus and Jupiter’s position during this years Mexican Gulf oil crisis as they hover together around this degree during 2010. Also during this oil crisis Neptune was at 28 Aquarius, it's precessed return position as noted earlier. *** Eris sits at the end of Aquarius a point energised by both Neptune and Chiron also during the crisis and 2010. It seems Neptune’s discovery chart and return have been notably activated.

Oil the world’s dominant energy source since Neptune’s discovery, has been powering our industrial cities, infiltrating our lives and in the process destroying natural habitats and the quality of life of many in the developing world. We have all been affected by the globalization of oil companies controlling this natural resource. Pluto is conjunct the South Node of the Moon, in Aries. Pluto, also very much associated with oil, as it’s from the deep, down below, is dark and dirty, with the South Node shows a fated and karmic connection to this liquid gold. It is now that we are told we are reaching “peak oil reserves, peak oil provokes a crisis but crisis means change. Peak Oil is only a formidable crisis when we refuse to see that a New Energy can exist. Our historic reliance on the plentiful and cheap supplies of fossil fuels, has been ensured by powerful oil industries that often oppose incentives for renewable and sustainable development. We can also see that the Moon is in Scorpio and is ruled by both Mars and Pluto. Here she exemplifies the ruthless control and use of this resource, for power and money.


Another very interesting aspect to consider, which happened around the time of Neptune's discovery is population growth. Populations around the globe began to soar around 1850. In one Neptune cycle we have grown from 1.2 billion people to nearly 7 billion. The use of fossil fuels, the industrialization of cities, food production, developments in medicine and healthcare all contributed to this rapid, exponential growth. With this next cycle we are faced with many global concerns as to how to cope with growing populations, food and water supply, pollution, and healthcare, fiercely dominated by the almighty powerful pharmaceutical industry.

Neptune moves into Pisces, in 2011, we will feel the more serious effects of overpopulation: Pisces is a sign of extremes and Neptune knows no bounds : no doubt we will see and experience food shortages, not enough for all, the give, the take, the haves, the have nots, those that will suffer and those that will hoard, those that will not share and those that will continue to rip off what they can, some for the dire necessity of survival. The breaking of borders and boundaries in all senses could very well be imminent. Neptune can also bring with it a solution: new inspired ideas, universal consciousness and visions for the future. The chart for Neptune’s Pisces ingress has a predominance of Aries planets, indicating bold new beginnings. This will be explored in the next instalment.

When Uranus returns to its position in the discovery chart in 2013 and Pluto squares that degree, we may begin to notice significant developments of new energy sources implemented around the world. Pluto squares 25 Aries degree in 2020, which is also the beginning of a new Jupiter Saturn cycle. Jupiter and Saturn will cycle through air signs for 200 years. The last 200-year cycle of Jupiter Saturn conjunctions has been in earth. This transition from Earth to Air is redolent of lightening up, of moving from resource based economics towards rapid social progress, intellectual developments, new concepts entering into human consciousness, paradigm shifts, solving the problems of the past.

2010, marked by the cardinal T-square, and close alignments with Ceres and Pluto, has been a hugely significant year. As the Mexican Gulf environmental crisis and the disgusting antics of BP, an erupting Icelandic Volcano, the worst floods ever in Pakistan, China and India devastate our world, it’s not difficult to correlate these disasters with Neptune. Neptune rules water, the oceans, oil, lies, deception, cover ups, mistreatment, drowning, waste and nature’s fury as the God of storms and wild weather returns with a message for the collective.

The message is embedded in the charts of the Returns. In the first return in 2009 (inner wheel), the most significant aspect is the Neptune, Chiron, Jupiter alignment. The triple conjunction alerts us to the new cycle of Neptune as a harbinger of massive changes in consciousness regarding world affairs and of a healing of the self inflicted wounds of constant progress.


The significance of Neptune’s return coinciding with the ecological crises, the global financial crisis and a growing awareness of the looming date of 2012 and what that may mean, an awakening of humanities crisis in consciousness as we consider global transformation, all become highly significant in the development of a new world and paradigm shift. The triple conjunction is squared by Sedna, goddess of oceans and the Moon is in Scorpio again highlighting shared resources. The oceanic realm will be under the spotlight, also how we control, share and protect its resources and purity.

Water, water, water is highlighted in this chart. Neptune, Jupiter, Chiron and the North Node of the Moon are all in Aquarius, an air sign, but the sign of the water-bearer. Aquarius signifies humanity’s capacity to give what is needed back to the people and the planet. Mars and Venus are in watery Pisces. Venus is at a very potent point on the anaretic degree and the border of new beginnings. Venus is retrograde and closest to the earth in her cycle. So close to the zero Aries point, what we value on this planet is up for review in this next cycle.

With Pluto in Capricorn, trine to Ceres at zero Virgo and with Saturn in Virgo we can see that an ecological outlook is needed and will be expected in the systems of governance and corporations in the future. Ceres, earth goddess and now deemed equal in stature with Pluto, at zero Virgo conjuncts Regulus. This bright star will ensure that the development of the next cycle has the environment and deep ecology as the main focus.

With the Moon in Scorpio we know that the future requires investment into these ecological systems and we don’t have to guess that there will be those that will be doing this for all the wrong reasons. Mercury creates a grand earth trine with Ceres and Pluto, trade and ecological economy will now be turning a new leaf. With the Sun and Eris in Aries, two warrior types denote new beginnings and a mission. A warrior attitude to get things done shines in our consciousness it’s a matter of perhaps, survival.

The second return (outer wheel) interestingly repeats a yod pattern, this time with Pluto and Jupiter pointing to a retrograde Mars. This alerts us again to energy systems, power, wealth, war and ego consciousness and with Mars retrograde a warning as to how this can all go wrong, or is going wrong or will go wrong if we don’t carefully adjust. The Pluto Saturn square shows the breaking down of outdated systems that will prevail. This time Venus forms a triple conjunction with Neptune and Chiron. She has joined the mission of fairness and equality. The Sun also in Aquarius, again illuminates the message of the water bearer.

Jupiter has moved into Pisces and squares the Moon in Sagittarius, showing a strong global feeling is in the ether. Collective consciousness, world views, philosophies and core belief systems are being challenged. The Moon conjuncts Antares, the rival of Ares, indicating the common feeling of the people is that we are aware, alarmed and ANTI many things we see continually played out on the world stage. The new consciousness cannot allow old patterns to continue.

For the final return, this time the Sun is in Scorpio. It seems Neptune is highlighting our passion and integrity, we have to get to the real crux of the matter. Uranus and Jupiter are both retrograde in Pisces, what we have been alerted to now becomes the difficult task of working out what to do and how to proceed. How to change, feel inspired and uncover new possibilities becomes apparent before we can move forward again.

Neptune is still travelling with Chiron for this next return and has ensured that the new cycle of Neptune be guided by Chiron’s wise ways. Neptune ensures Chiron’s next cycle is inspired and illuminating. Can we collectively recognise and embrace our wounds so that they may be healed?

Again Venus is retrograde and at the 29th degree, this time in Libra. She always seems to be reviewing and re-evaluating and this time it’s about justice and fairness. Do we really value these attributes? With Ceres, Pluto and the North Node in Capricorn, what holds true for the first return chart continues to be a theme; governance and corporations are to be held ecologically responsible . Our common restless nature remains with the Moon again near Antares, this time with Mars, reaffirming our stance of changing our priorities and directions and acknowledging that war doesn’t fix anything.

Whatever chart for the Return we look at, 2009 and 2010 have been hugely significant years and Neptune returning has illuminated and unveiled a path. The path is not so clear and perhaps never will be. Remember Neptune takes us on journeys of getting lost, becoming caught in nets and losing our way, but this purpose seems to teach us to learn to trust, have faith, seek a more spiritual path, tap into the psychic realm, glean creative inspiration and develop a more compassionate outlook. It seems we do have great powers locked away in the unconscious that we don’t use, simply because we don’t believe in them. Science has told us not to believe, magic is a superstition of the past. With Neptune’s Return, can we not celebrate a return of these processes , magical thinking and magical living.

Spiritual growth, universal causes and a greater connection to our cosmic consciousness has been awakened. In times of crisis great things are born. Neptune rules chaotic energy and systems and that move us to continue to create, to blend, to perceive, to go beyond. Neptune’s strong associations with the unconscious lead us to explore unconscious processes and by doing so, we make them conscious. Part of this crisis in consciousness is to seek and believe in a different way.

Together with reopening the unconscious realms we can reignite and further awaken Gaian consciousness a connection to the world soul, the anima mundi which has sadly been lost in the de-sacralisation of nature, and through the dogma of science and religion.

“I see the world soul as the largest and smallest creature imaginable. It isn’t the God who hung up the stars like lamps in the heaven and it isn’t the force that spins the galaxies on their axes. The world soul has arisen out of Biology. It’s an organism within the universe of space, time, but it didn’t make the universe. It’s an inhabitant of it, but on a scale that makes us mere atoms within it’s form.”**** Terence Mc Kenna

As Neptune represents invisible energy let us use this energy wisely and keep directing it to a more illuminated place.

In my next instalment I will look at the ingress of Neptune into Pisces and previous times when Neptune was in Pisces throughout the ages. Briefly, Neptune’s journey in Pisces through history has seen :

-Ideas, concepts, discoveries that greatly influence and shape our worldview

-Far reaching ideas that add to the greater understanding of ourselves as part of the world and universe

-Influential philosophies and theories develop about the connection between body, mind and spirit

-Changes in what we believe that have a great global influence and affect all

-beliefs, or truths that permeate the worldview or get worked into the system

-the reshaping and shifting of universal consciousness although not immediate were spawned and seeded at these times.

Just as you’d expect with the 12th sign.
