Neptune/Mars, Ace of Swords

Neptune is a planet invisible with the naked eye, corresponds to supraconscious then unconscious faculties. Acting blindly, the neptunian sensibility causes damages. In an astrological chart the encounter of Neptune and Mars, specially in square, conjunction or opposition, indicates problems. Desires without a form, confuse energy, among other difficulties, can give an aversion to work. The telepathic receptivity of Neptune can awake tempests of rage, that no logic argument could calm, because this rage comes from outside, does not pertains to the person.

In the Tarot deck, the encounter of Neptune and Mars is symbolized by the Ace of Swords. Imagining the Holy Sword, a sword made of Nothingness, we can, in our day to day life, be conscious of and use the Full Reality, spiritual, astral and material. We can use the maximum Power, the Power of the Full Reality.

Letting your imagination dream,
you discover in your inner world
a Temple, Mars' Temple.
On the altar, illuminating the whole Temple,
the Sword, the Holy Sword shines.
Coming close you can feel
the Divine Energy which emanates from the Sword,
an Energy which pervades your aura,
when you come near the Sword.
There is Somebody there,
Somebody made of Nothingness, a powerful Presence
made of Nothingness,
tranquil of the powerful tranquillity of the gods,
lucid of the lucid intelligence of the gods,
just of the Justice of the gods.
Following your inspiration
you dress this Nothingness who knows how to use the Holy Sword.
You dress this tranquility,
this just, lucid intelligence.
You take the Sword in your hand,
feeling ... feeling whom you are,
feeling the Sword in your hand.
You have in your hand
a Sword made of Void,
made of the proper substance of the Void.
From your hand emanates a ray of Void,
a blade of Void.
You have in your hand a Sword
which opens a Void in the obstacles,
which open in the obstacles
a door towards anything you decide.
You have in your hand an intelligent Sword,
able to understand and accomplish
anything you entrust her,
a Sword able to act by herself,
with a piercing intelligence.

You cut out the ties which jailed you,
you conquer your day to day life,
cutting out the illusions of not being able which binded you,
cutting out the emotions of "I cannot"
which binded you,
cutting out the negative suggestions coming from negative persons.
The victory is yours.
You can feel, happy in you,
the victory, the tranquil victory,
the tranquil victory of the gods.

You have in your hand the Sword of confidence,
the Power in your hand,
the Power to be you, to be you.
You do not need to use the Sword.
A tranquil strength, a natural strength,
the Power of the gods emanates from the Sword,
spontaneously opens your way.

And you have the Sword in your day to day life,
in the Earth Paradise of your day to day life,
feeling the Sword,
the Sword always with you,
the conscious, intelligent, friendly Sword,
unfailing, able to act by herself,
with a piercing intelligence,
protecting you against harmful influences,
acting and forewarning you,
the Sword made of Nothingness,
the blade made of Void,
opening all the doors for you.

Neptune and Mars are gods, divine expressions of the Divine. Master Eckart wrote: "God is Nothing. As God is Nothing God is Everything." Mars is the god of action. We can act in a real manner. He who only acts in a material manner acts in illusion. He who acts on the astral plane is dreaming. A true action begins in the beginning, on the spiritual plane, continues on the astral plane, where it gains a form, and then on the material plane.
