Discernment or Judgment?

July 12, 2009

http://www.stariq.com/Main/Articles/P0003952.HTM –Jupiter is religion and Neptune is spirituality.  The former has judgment the latter does not. 

What does this mean?  Does Neptune not judge others or does it lack judgment in the form of discernment. This quote caught my attention, as I have often stated I am spiritual but not religious.  I have never understood those who feel their religion is “right”.  The certainty of their actions often astounds me, as if all is lost if one does not proclaim certain ideals. 

I had a dream with an owl looking at me backwards.  It would not look to me face on and stated, “Is it discernment or judgment?”  I had to stop and think – of course we are all familiar with the wise, old owl.  But is this wisdom used for discernment or for judgment?  Too often, I feel, at times, I have fallen into the trap of judgment.  Viewing my self and actions as superior to others.   There is a difference.
