For those of you who are not familiar with esoteric philosophy or do not know it well I will remind you that all is energy. Thus you should simply relax and try to feel the energy rather then concern yourself with understanding everything.
All is Energy!
During the lecture you can ask questions or make comments. After the meditation you may also ask questions.

Meditation
Presently Neptune is in Aquarius, having moved in on January 28, 1998. The last period of Neptune in Aquarius was 1834-1848so its actually unlikely you have Neptune in Aquarius.
Why else?
Can anyone remember what was happening in Europe during this period?
This period witnessed the rise of Romanticism, a reaction against the conventions and restraints of classicism. It was the dominant note in the artistic and intellectual life of Europe. Aquarius promotes the concept of society in general, but with Neptunes influence, this concept was dissolved and completely reversed as Romanticism emphasized the glorification of the individual against society as a whole.

Fixed
fixed signs are concerned with maintaining something, changing things so they are the same as before
Air
linking
language links words, transport links places, and words link to ideas.
In order to link ideas together, we need to use abstraction or generalization to some degree. So like fire, air can be abstract, although because it is closer to the earth, it is less "up in the sky" than fire (although it is "up in the air", and abstract sometimes)
Air people are concerned with thought, ideas and intellect. They are detached and objective. They can be versatile and agile in communications. But they might not accomplish their promises or goals unless they are grounded in earth.They are the theory people in the theory versus practice debate.
So what happens when we put the mode of fixed together with the element of air?
Aquarius is the 11th sign of the zodiac. As the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius represents the eleventh stage in the evolution of man and his place in the universe. In Aquarius, the individuality of man so carefully nurtured in Leo, now becomes part of the greater
Aquarians are stubborn and resist changing their opinions or accepting new ideas that they do not like or with which they do not agree. Big changes in life are accepted as a challenge, but small changes that throw off their plans are not tolerated very well.
Aquarians react
to everything they experience in life with an intellectual orientation. Before they take physical action, before they assess the practical worth of something, and before they sort out their true emotions, they try to visualize it objectively as a kind of mental exercise. In relationships, their intellectual approach makes them appear interested but not particularly passionate or possessive. It does not necessarily mean they really lack passion. When they do focus their feelings, their passion can be as intense as it is inspirational.
The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer, symbolically and eternally giving life and spiritual food to the world. The water from the vessel washes away the past, leaving room for a fresh, new start.

Both will provide the know how to bring an abstract vision into reality. Uranus gives innate spontaneous activity and this produces evolutionary developmentboth natural and spiritual. It is the urge to better conditions.

The need of the personality for freedom without responsibility has to be refused rejected, ones goal is freedom with responsibility.
Uranus as sub-ruler
It is this planet which symbolizes the strong drive in Aquarius to find freedom, to pierce the veil of the mysteries, to shatter hidebound structures. We have to bypass old thinking, to step out of mass thinking.
To serve humanity is to love humanity, to be part of society, whether it is political, religious or the cultural sphere or field. Aquarius transmits ray 5, which stimulate science both exoterically and esoterically. Ray 5 will also develop the ability to understand the esoteric, the spiritual in this age.
Aquarius - Ray 5
Aquarius is a symbol of world service, world service is a word for service for humanity the goal for spiritual beings, to carry the water of life to humanity.
Cleaning of Stables
The cleaning of the stables. Interestingly it was in a stable that the Christ child was born; and Neptune (the ruler of Pisces) is known as the Christ, the Savior of the Piscean Age. However we are on the cusp of the new Age of Aquarius, so it would benefit us to update our archetype of the world Savior.
Spiritual Adulthood
In our spiritual adulthood are we still looking around for someone to save us? Or can we recognize our brotherhood with all humanity and learn to serve each other? We must beware too that all too often our concept of ourselves as a server of others degenerates into a kind of martyrdom. Have you ever (metaphorically) cleaned the stables for nothing just so that you can feel appropriately unappreciated?
