Historical Neptune in Aries
In this webinar, you will also learn about some of the major world events that occurred during Neptune’s last transit of Aries.
While it’s easy to think of events like wars, battles, and disagreements as being part of the Aries Neptune experience, there have been many other notable developments in science, technology, art, and transportation during Neptune’s transits so far.
A quick summary of some of these events is as follows:
- The beginning of daily newspapers in England (1701 – 1702)
- Founding of St. Petersburg (1703), capital of Russia until 1918
- Development of the industrial steam engine (1698) and piston steam engine (1710)
- Pasteurization for food manufacturing and production (1862-4)
- In the United States, the first East Coast to West Coast telegraph system (1861)
- London’s first Underground (1863)
- US purchases Alaska from Russia (1867) (which also contributed to the creation of Canada in 1867)
- Opening of the Suez Canal (1869) An important development in shipping, transportation, and the movement of goods/resources
- The first orally told story of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1862/3)
- “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo, published in 1862
Neptune in Aries by Transport
To briefly see one of these notable events, the discovery of pasteurization, consider Louis Pasteur’s diagram.
Before Louis Pasteur worked on germ theory, he discovered a way to prevent milk and wine from becoming sour through a process known as pasteurization. This requires heat to be applied, which means milk, wine, beer, vinegar, etc. can be transported without exploding.
(Something about heat and liquids seems like a great fit for Neptune in a fire sign, right?!)
In 1861 and 1862, Pasteur experienced Neptune transiting square Mercury in Capricorn in Aries. During this time, he began working on the process now known as pasteurization, which would dramatically change the production and transportation of food.
Because Pasteur has many planets in Capricorn, we can see that he experienced many transits from Neptune in Aries to each of these planets, especially from 1861 to 1865, when Neptune in Aries squared Mercury, the Sun, and Venus.
The webinar will also explore Lewis Carroll’s charts and the development of the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland story. We then move on to the present and consider Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chart as an example of a transit coming from the current Aries Neptune cycle.
