Neptune Interpretations

Neptune is the chart's dissolving edge, the place where the solid line between self and everything else goes soft. It governs dream, imagination, compassion, and the longing to merge into something larger ... and in the same breath, illusion, escapism, and the comfortable lie. Named for the god of the sea, the realm the ancients found boundless and unmasterable, Neptune blurs whatever it touches. In a birth chart it shows where a person reaches for transcendence, where enchantment pulls them forward, and where reality runs thinner and more permeable than they think ... which is the source of both the art and the self deception.
