Last Kiss from Neptune is written by the astrologer for neptunes.aura.com using contemporary understanding of ancient mythology the author explores the symbolism of Neptune through the mythology of Medusa'a rape.
From modern rape myths and how rape is viewed in society, to rape of one's land or identity it explores the myths of who we are including mythic history and the beliefs we absorb unconsciously from film, television, books and other media. Ideological rape - subtle manipulation through media and society such as all 'white men' were evil or all 'women' were victims etc. and the impact this has on the story of the self (our narcissism).
Narcissism within the book is used with a specific definition of our own story and is split into two forms natural hedonistic narcissism (I like strawberry ice cream and fudge), to pathological narcissism (I didn't get a 'Disney' childhood and my family is not the 'Waltons' and bad things are only supposed to happen to bad people). Our pathological narcissism leaves us empty and deprived, creating the constant need to be fulfilled from consumerist products, lifestyles and beliefs.
The book also looks at how we can use this symbolism positively to recreate our story and both the negative and positive aspects of what we belief and how it impacts us are explored through Neptune in aspect to the other planets. Before giving brief interpretations of Neptune within the natal chart.
This book is a must read for those who want to gain greater understanding og the planet from an astrological perspective.
