Martschukat points out the equivalent of a spiritual awakening in those who have achieved the transition from a lifestyle of junk eating deterioration to that of a body-sculpted calorie counter.
Amongst the communities driven by these dedications to physical exceptionalism the themes/goals include staying forever young being immortal becoming gods and that through sport/exercise the true inner self can be revealed.
Sport and fitness culture has become so pervasive as a business model that active wear and sports brands have globally become a uniform of acceptance - worn by both the truly committed and those who just want to fit in.
The ideology of fitness and optimum body function and appearance has led to the development of what may be subconscious as well as conscious disciminatory practices in diverse contexts - against those who are not following a lifestyle of fitness sport or self improvement - especially in respect of bodily appearance.
Sport, jogging, gym work have extended far beyond the simple goals of past decades - exercise fitness and achievement - into at worst an addiction and associated with an idealogy that intends to transcend human limitations -to truly be equated with the Gods of the classic world.
Jupiter
Astrologically we know Jupiter is the planet of extending boundaries - exploring far beyond what is known and for this reason sport exercise and fitness are a clear fit as an outlet for this type of drive.
What stands out regarding the ttrajectory of sport/fitness culture is that the global spread has been achieved with significant assistance from branded fashion marketing - covering items from head to foot that declare you are part of the team.
Neptune
Jupiter’s original connection to Pisces and therefore to the later era discovery of Neptune creates an energy flow that is impossible to keep separate.
When Jupiter extends so far that it reaches into Neptune’s territory issues can arise.
Excessive Jupiter becomes overtly Neptunian -clear signs of addiction to the body chemistry [and often substances consumed] that fuel the notions of being immortal and godlike. These are delusions of the ego enabled and reinforced by Neptune
Jupiter + Neptune
A healthy blend of Jupiter and Neptune is not impossible.
A healthy blend of these energies has nothing to do with the body the ego sculpted abs and immortality. It is a state of mind. But not the everyday mind of racing thoughts worries and problems.
The Jupiter-Neptune mind is the consciousness of our true origin state.
The peace joy and stillness that glows within - embedded in the energy that gave us life.
The bright light of consciousness that worldly life covers and conceals until we slow down pause stop look and listen - actions that are usually ignored until necessity comes calling.
Something inner or outer raises a sign for you to read.
It says: This is Not the Life…
And you can complete the words that fit.

Global cultural mythologies surrounding the capacities and behaviours of gods show a human fascination with beings or people with extraordinary powers or abilities and the worshipping of gods shows a respect and authority attributed to such people or beings.
But despite the resurgence of highly physically competitive television series called Titans and Ninja Warrior and the sustained popularity of combat sports boxing martial arts MMA wrestling -this is evidence of the "last gasp" phenomenon: those endowed with superhuman physical strength belong to a bygone age.

The teacher gods of now and tomorrow had a far different emphasis: they role-model amazing wisdom and compassion and are inspired by spiritual gods who walked this earth long ago.
These gods left their documented legacies as a guidebook for transforming the mind.
This challenge remains our biggest hurdle but most profound salvation.

The freshly emerging Aquarian Age represents the opportunity for a major collective shift in consciousness due to the subsidence of one world based on the thing the object the form and the rising up of the world based on the idea the experience the concept the intangible.
[promoted by the 2 centuries long cyle of Jupiter-Saturn conjunctions in Air, beginning December 2020 with Aquarius - supported by Uranus in any fixed sign - and followed in a few years by Pluto in Aquarius]
When Jupiter and Neptune blend in the level of consciousness that transcends the physical the ideals of both are experienced as a type of reverence for life - living a simple benevolent existence in balance with the true nature of reality
- without any need for exceptional ambition driven by delusion
