[a human being]

Hi, Merry meet! Hope we can share and grow together here.
Short answer, yup More specifically, the mutual reception between these two planets is part of a 'train' of outer planet 'initiations' which have been active in the human collective for a number of years and continue today. I am referring to the transits of Pluto, Uranus and finally Neptune through their own signs. The current mutual reception you mention acts as a bridge between the Uranus in Aquarius and Neptune in Pisces phases.

I am open to correction - but I have heard that the last time earth was at galactic centre was 13,600'ish years ago but from the opposite side to where it is now -in Leo, in fact.

Yes. The time of the Great Flood. This initiated the Galactic Night. The Aquarian Age is the Dawn of the Galactic Day.

It seems to make sense if that were true because my intuition tells me the Sphinx originally bore the head of a lion and is a great deal older than some historians allow.

Yes again. The dating of the Sphinx to the accepted and orthodox period is a mistake. At this time, it was restored. Khafra thought it was fitting to put his mark upon it.

As the precession of the equinoxes does the round and we look at the astrological Ages from 13.600 years forward we pass through Cancer Gemini Taurus Aries and Pisces history does show us evolving socially from tribes, clans, early city states, territorial skirmishes of early nation states, then empires and now we leave the age of Pisces where millions from vastly different nations are governed by one overweening paradigm of mass consciouness ruled by elites [christianity, communism, capitalism etc] where 'we believe' is fine but 'I think' constitutes a threat to those ruling elites. And now we move into Aquarius where commonly shared sentience and refined states of consciouness awaits. Believing is a whole different matter to knowing - hence the potent force of global fascism rears its head to protect those elites.

Nicely put, thank you. Its the long evolution of the city states while being out of balance with our Earth that has led to our current mess. When Neptune enters Pisces, I believe this reality will dissolve back into its constituent elements. By that I mean, the cities will disintegrate. It may take time, but I think it is coming.

What is of concern, I think, to most astrologers *right now* is the presence of Pluto entering Capricorn, just as the dollar is dying, and the huge upheavals in the world economy/political scene (i.e. the reputation of capitalism) is going on...those who say it is a flash in the pan are so, so wrong - its only just beginning. For those caught up in the material world, hell is just around the corner. But Pluto in Capricorn offers a deeper potential to those who embrace this change - a rebirthed and more intense connection to the riches of the land and the earth itself.

I wonder if we all anticipated what is to come with open minds and nourished souls we would defeat the negativity which surrounds us and break free into the higher states of consciouness en masse you mentioned in your post.

Well, it is hard enough to get a random group of 6 people to agree, let alone 6.5billion+, so I prefer to keep my focus on my own self, in body, soul and spirit, so that I can offer the best of myself to the whole world, my Adonai Light. This in itself is all we really can do. The situations we face are way beyond the ability of any one person to deal with. But, collectively, we are so fractured, it seems highly unlikely we can get organised into unity for anything. See, the way I see it, each individual can be said to have two equal but complementary aspects to their spirit - differences, and commonalities. You and I have never met, but it is a sure thing that we have our individual differences, and our individual commonalities. These two aspects should harmonise - we should experience empathy from our shared commonality, and draw strength of character from our differences. In other words we should accept our differences as part of what makes us uniquely beautiful. The problem is at this level. There is imbalance. We collectively overemphasise the importance of individual differences (Mars, Geburah), which leads to war and a struggle for dominance, and the correction is to increase empathy and emphasise our individual alikeness (Jupiter, Gedulah) with one another.
This, in my view, would correct the core problem in our world. But, like I said, the hour is getting late.
