Dedication

The creative and sensitive generation of children born around 1993 were the first ever to be born under a conjunction of the planets Neptune and Uranus.

For this generation and the following generations, there is a real magic unfolding on our planet. A creative magic . . .

Dedicated to my children and the Harry Potter generations

The Neptune Vortex
An astrologically inspired fictional adventure novel

Following local rumors of a long-ago massacre, a young Chinese-Australian astrologer, embarks on a quest to find the lost treasure of her ancestors and uncover the truth of their fate.

Dangerous forces are at play, will her astrological studies be enough for her to succeed where her ancestors failed?

Do her actions even matter or is her fate pre-ordained by the spiritual powers in the stars?

The Neptune Vortex was designed with the enneagram. Author, Van Derek, an artist and astrologer for almost forty years, presents an abstract mathematical theory, in narrative form, about the source of inspiration at the heart of our calculated universe.

From the Author

As an artist fascinated with symbolism and astrology for more than thirty years, it occurred to me that the complex jargon of textbook astrology, with its references to planets, angles and houses, written mainly for a small, select group of astrology students, excludes many readers.

Astrology and the enneagram have brought me success in my personal and business life for many years. In recent years, I have observed an ever-increasing interest in astrology, new age spirituality and the occult in the business and investment communities.Today technical analysis tools used by investors have evolved from ancient paradigms into complex computer algorithms.

Meanwhile quantum scientists speculate on the philosophies of the ancients who first devised geometry through the observation of the night sky.This story colors astrology and the enneagram with mystery and a tale of its history, and speaks to the heart of the most popular astrology questions of all—romance and free will. But more than that, its characters put forward a method by which we can design a more sustainable world.
