Neptune symbolises our ideals and shows us where we yearn for perfection and merging. Neptune heightens our perceptions, giving us the capacity for compassion and imagination.

If Neptune is strong in the birth-chart, the individual will be highly creative, with a potential for self-sacrifice.

Negatively, Neptune can lead an individual into deceptions and hypersensitivity. Neptune is connected with our fantasies, with our dream world and therefore with drugs and alcohol, the theatre, television, films and religion. Neptune is all that is mysterious in life. This planet can dissolve one reality and replace it with another taking us towards dissolution or allowing us to contact higher realms.

The sign placement of Neptune will apply to all those people born within the same thirteen-year period as this is the time it takes for Neptune to transit through the whole of one sign. Therefore, it is the house placement and house ruler ships of Neptune and its aspects to other planets that make it significant for the individual.
