Neptune in Astrology represents spirituality, illusion, imagination, artistry, compassion and idealism. In the birth chart this planet represents your natural inclination for intuition, spirituality, creativity and empathy. Neptune can represent your inspiration, connection to the divine and imagination. Neptune is a generational planet as it stays in each sign for about 14 years which means that it can take about 165 years to transit through the entire zodiac.
This planet can also represent fantasy, escapism, illusion, confusion, trickery and addiction. The challenge with Neptune is in trying to separate fact from fiction as Neptune can create the desire for idealism. Your predisposition for things like escapism, illusion, fantasy and/or idealism can be shown by the sign Neptune’s placed in along with the house and aspects being made to it.
Challenging aspects made to Neptune, such as a square, can represent misunderstandings, confusion, paranoia and tension. Positive aspects made to Neptune, such as a trine, can indicate a flow of creative and imaginative ideas along with a supportive energy of compassion.
When interpreting Neptune in your own chart it’ll be important to include the aspects being made to Neptune because these will greatly influence how Neptune is expressed. It will also show the unique challenges, opportunities and experiences connected to your path towards spiritual enlightenment and making your dreams a reality.
