We’ve been through one complete Neptune cycle

A Happy Accident

[ad]Neptune was dis­cov­ered 24 Sep­tem­ber 1846, 12:04 am LMT. Nep­tune, known for illu­sion by most astrologers, gave clues per­haps for over two cen­turies. When finally con­firmed, she rode through space almost exactly con­joined with Nep­tune. I went only a lit­tle cut-n-paste doc­u­men­tary tour around face­book, with my sud­den, delayed epiphany: Over the last few months, Nep­tune has trav­eled past her point of dis­cov­ery, 26° (almost 27°) Aquar­ius. So, tech­ni­cally speak­ing, human­ity has danced one round with Nep­tune since con­fir­ma­tion of a planet. That means since dis­cov­ery: Nep­tune saw four quad­ra­ture align­ments with Uranus, 1868, 1908, 1956 and 1992; the next comes at 2040, the open­ing (lower) square of 90°; Nep­tune con­joined with Pluto once between 1892 and 1893; it’s next quad­ra­ture align­ment appears in 2063 when Nep­tune in Gem­ini makes an open­ing square to Pluto in Pisces; includ­ing it’s ini­tial align­ment with Sat­urn, two have con­joined five times, with the sixth com­ing in 2026.

Another Happy Accident

In my dis­cov­ery phase on Neptune’s year of dis­cov­ery I found the following:

• Anna_Kingsford
• Wilhelm_Maybach
• Charles_Stewart_Parnell
• Alexander_Milne_Calder
• Carrie_Nation

Each great char­ac­ters, but the last , Car­rie Nation, proves espe­cially intrigu­ing. Born 25 Novem­ber 1846 in Gar­rat County, Ken­tucky, Car­rie spent much of her early years raised by her father’s slaves. At 21, she mar­ried some in the end died of alco­holism a year later, after she birthed her first child, one with men­tal instability.
