Extract from 'Riding the Waves: What we Learn from Surfers" "But the ocean is associated with the planet Neptune, or Poseidon, and this is the place where the self can be lost as there are no boundaries. There are many related gods and mysterious creatures like Triton (half-man, half-fish) the son of Neptune, and the Nereids, female sea creatures. Then there is Proteus the seal herder of the sea who had the gift of prophecy and truth, but who can rarely if ever be captured as he is the ultimate shapeshifter. In Santeria, there is Yemaya, the revered goddess of the ocean sea water seen in deep blue.Then there's the Roman goddess of the sea, Salacia, (Amphitrite is the Greek version) connected to the salt and shimmering sunlight that reflects off the water. This is a trans-Neputnian object discovered in 2004 that you can find in your chart. Sea horses are commonly seen as representing the sea, and in 2013 a small moon of the planet Neptune was discovered. It was named Hippocamp- seahorse. Proteus is the much bigger of the 14 moons of Neptune and may have broken off from Proteus.
Nikola Tesla’s famous observation was that “if you want to understand the universe think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Frequencies are monitored and measured in waves. Physics talks of wave formation as an accumulation of particles, but perhaps they are both particles and waves at the same time. Waves go in motion as they are defined as an ‘energy transport phenomenon’ that uses a medium such as water. Sound travels in waves, and so does light. So a circle is never 100% perfect, but can loop back on itself to form another variation, continually expanding the threads......
Surfers who generally are quite relaxed and know how to enjoy life, know what 'bliss' is and are able to live it to the full. While Gerry Lopez is not the only gifted surfer, his skill reached a high level making him one with the Ocean. Asteroids can mysteriously point to this unique skill as his asteroid Salacia- goddess of the ocean shimmering light - is conjunct his Jupiter at the Galactic Centre where the power comes from beyond. But another curiosity of his chart , is that when he travelled from Hawaii to Bali in search of new waves to conquer, he immediately sensed that Bali and West Java were 'home'. The asteroid for Amphitrite - the Greek verision of Salacia- is conjunct the asteroid Bali at 4°of Sagittarus, the sign of travel. So he has planets Jupiter and Mars, and asteroids Salacia, also classed as a dwarf planet, Amphitrite and Bali all in Sagittarius!
It wasn't all smooth riding for Gerry Lopez either, as he has suffered severe injuries in his time on the waves. But the lives of surfers can still teach the average person and astrologers in particular how not to overpredict and overthink the future. They might get things right now and again, but not always. Some waves defeat them. But surfers can show us how to be chilled while wobbling to maintain balance. There's no fixed formula, but it involves combining strength, foresight, flexibility plus a whole heap of trust in the universe.As Lopez says "Surfing is a great metaphor for life. If you don't move with life, it passes." Salacia is designated also as a 'dwarf planet' See full video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzAt7GRRi1s
