Neptune in Sagittarius in the BirthChart

From 1970 to 1984... The freedom to know.

 

Neptune in Sagittarius brought the dream of a better world, based on knowledge, fellowship and freedom. During this time and imprinted on those born in it, collective consciousness was more receptive to knowledge and wisdom. There was a greater need for mental and spiritual evolution. Thus, philosophy assumed a significant role in the unrelenting search for a greater meaning in life.

 

In the last passage of Neptune through Sagittarius (1970–1984), people wanted a freer, more tolerant society. They became citizens of the world, shortening the distances between nations with air travel, where tourism gained a lot of focus. Globalization was born when countries lost their borders, and all became ONE.

 

Even with the Cold War, the arms and space races gave way to a more humanist vision, where governments were more concerned with the world and not individual interests. It was a period called Progressive Humanity. Religion and doctrines also gained focus when the Catholic Church had its last very charismatic leader, Pope John Paul II, who began his leadership in 1978. He was, in fact, the first non-Italian Pope in centuries, another point for Neptune in Sagittarius.

 

At that time, fashion was quite extravagant and exuded optimism, colors and joy, reflecting even more the various tribes of the world. From hairstyles like black power and mohawk to tight-fitting outfits and bell-bottom slacks from the clubs, it seemed that everyone wanted to express their style to the world in a unique, free, albeit exaggerated manner.

 

Interest in other cultures was sparked, perhaps in a quest better to understand the world and, consequently, life. However, multinational capitalism grew along with this breakdown of borders, bringing to light a time of tremendous consumerism that continued.

 

Neptune's adventurous spirit and eagerness for ideas in Sagittarius was reflected in people's lives at the time, which was also imprinted on their progeny, who always seemed to need something new. They needed more and were always looking for more, whether in relationships, careers, travel, products or material goods.

 

In the 14 years it was in Sagittarius, Neptune imprinted its transcendent spirit in a very peculiar and joyful way in a society that needed to breathe deeper.
