The Planet of Magic
Neptune’s Meaning in Astrology:
Neptune is the planet of mystery and illusion. Its power is that of the imagination. Neptune represents your dream life and your mystical qualities. It is the planet of bewitchment and encompasses the realm of the unconscious world, hidden memory, intuition, and clairvoyance.
Neptune is a planet of mercy and compassion; its power is subtle, ethereal, inspirational, and other worldly.
The positive side of Neptune’s influence represents glamour and mystery, artistic imagination, dreams, and visions. Its negative side is characterized by deception, confusion, treachery, and sham. Neptune rules over a wide domain of human activity: motion pictures, drama, dance, poetry, hypnosis, anesthesia, hospitals, institutions, prisons, poison, and drug addiction.
The planet’s position in your chart indicates what kind of ideals and goals you have, how psychic and visionary you are and whether you possess a magnetic allure that people respond to. Neptune’s influence brings great depth of understanding, ESP ability, and creative genius. Neptune also describes your dreams and your reaction toward them as well as your propensity to take drugs and alcohol.
Because Neptune has a generational influence (i.e., it takes about fourteen years for the planet to pass through each zodiac), you share Neptune’s characteristics with the people of your era.
