With Neptune in the 7th, we need to experience its longings, aspirations and magic through others. Perhaps we also need Neptunian people around us. Attraction to those of an artistic or mystical persuasion may not be the same as attraction to the psychological infant who mirrors our own infantility. As our own internal balance grows, our attractions change, although the archetypal core remains the same. The 7th house is also not limited to the intimacy of a spouse or lover. It is sometimes called the house of the public, because it reflects our entry into the world of others and our ways of interacting with them. Planets placed in any angular house tend to find their expression through events and people. Neptune in the 7th depends upon others to unfold its story, for we require our mirrors to be literal. All of the characters in Neptune’s drama—devouring oceanic mother, divine redeemer, and suffering victim—are usually projected, at one time or another during the course of life. Other people generally belong to one of these three groups, and anything in between tends not to be noticed. Society, too, can be divided according to this triad, for Neptune in the 7th may display strong political inclinations. Neptunian idealisations may be expressed primarily in public life, and may confer not only the ability to sense the needs and sufferings of the collective, but also a remarkable blindness to one’s aspirations to power.
海王星在第七宫，我们需要通过他人去体验海王星的渴望、抱负和神奇。也许我们的身边需要有海王星人。受到艺术或者神秘信仰的吸引，也许与受到映照出自我幼稚的心灵孩童的吸引不一样。随着我们的内在越来越平衡，我们的吸引改变了，尽管原型的核心依然没变。第七宫并不受限于亲密关系。有时候它被称为公众的宫位，因为它反映了我们进入他人的世界以及与他人的互动方式。所有在角宫的星体会通过事件和人来进行表达。海王星在第七宫通过他人来展开它的故事，因为我们需要真切的写照。海王星所有的戏剧性特质——吞噬海洋母亲、神圣的救赎者和痛苦的受害者——通常会在生命历程中的某个时候被投射出来。他人一般来说会属于这三者中的一个，介于两者之间往往都不会被注意到。社会同样也可以被分成这样的三类，因为海王星在第七宫往往呈现出强烈的政治倾向。海王星的理想化主要表现在大众生活上，不仅拥有感知集体需求和痛苦的意识，也赋予了对个体对权力的盲目渴求。
It is important for those with Neptune in the 7th, who choose to move in such an arena, to be honest about the degree of subjectivity involved in their perceptions of society. The Neptunian leader may easily become the Neptunian victim, torn apart—metaphorically or even physically—by the crowd. An interesting example of this in the modern world is Erich Honecker, the Marxist leader of East Germany before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Honecker’s chart reveals Neptune conjunct the Descendant, 3 degrees from the cusp. Although technically in the 6th house, any planet this close to the Descendant will be expressed through the 7th. Initially Honecker saw himself, and was perceived, as the saviour of the East German people. By the time the Wall was dismantled at the end of 1989, he had become the scapegoat of the people, for his methods were identical with those of the fascist powers he had so virulently opposed. His self-blindness is characteristic of the darker side of Neptune; for he became the very thing he hunted, and was the destroyer of that which he sought to save.
对于那些第七宫有海王星且准备进入那样一个竞争舞台的人来说，很重要的是诚实地面对他们社会观念中的主观程度。海王星领导人很容易成为海王星的受害者，被人群四分五裂——比喻，或者甚至是身体上的。一个有趣的例子是现代的Erich Honecker，在柏林墙倒塌之前他是东德的马克思主义领导者。在他的星图上海王星与下降点合相在3°内。尽管严格来说是在第六宫，但任何接近下降点的星体都会通过第七宫进行表达。最初，他把自己看做（也被认为）是东德人民的救世主。直到1989年末柏林墙被拆除，他成了人们的替罪羊，因为他的方式与他强烈反对的法西斯主义一样。他的自我盲目是海王星阴暗面的特点，而他猎杀的一切都是他曾经力求保护的关键。
Perceiving others through the lens of Neptune’s longing is an ambiguous gift. It can reflect remarkable sensitivity to the pulse of the world “out there,” as well as to those individuals with whom one comes in close contact. Such responsiveness can be expressed in many creative and healing ways. But Neptune’s suffering through others, when placed in the 7th, is largely self-created. It arises from a mixture of idealised fantasies, infantile needs, and the nature of the people whom one calls upon to participate in one’s drama. Disillusionment with others is the natural product of a 7th house Neptune. It is the individual’s capacity to deal with this disillusionment, through sufficient recongnition of one’s own and others’ limits, which determines whether or not Neptune in the 7th will create a life of victimisation or of rich and rewarding relationships. Neptune is never content with prosaic interaction. The glory of the theatre must infuse life, for all the world is a stage and Neptune in the 7th is the chief actor. No solution will be found by suppressing Neptune’s longing, for it will merely enter through the back door, and appear in one’s partner or in an ungrateful public who have turned against their idol. Perhap the secret lies in allowing others to be both mythic and human at the same time.
通过海王星的渴求来感知他人是一种暧昧的才能。它能反映对“外部”世界以及那些亲密接触的人的非凡敏感度。那样的敏感性可以在许多创意以及疗愈中表达。但是海王星在第七宫通过他人而遭受的痛苦，其实大部分都是自己造成的。它产生于理想化的梦想、幼稚的需求和参与他人戏剧人生的天性的融合。幻灭也是第七宫的海王星的特点。通过充分认识到自己与他人的极限，个体有处理这种幻灭的能力，这决定了海王星在第七宫会带来受害的人生还是丰富和有益的关系。海王星从不满足于平淡无奇的互动。剧院的荣耀必须注入生命，因为全世界都是舞台并且第七宫的海王星是主演。抑制海王星的渴望并不是一个解决办法，因为它只会通过后门进入，出现在伴侣身上或者一个忘恩负义的转而背叛自己偶像的公众身上。也许秘诀就是允许他人同时成为神话与人类吧。（完结）
