For those who wouldn't take their butts onto the VP pick thread, an interesting discussion has broken out at the end about Neptune squares (with a nod to Plutonian Persona). What do you reckon? There must be a good side to Neptune in contact with the personals -: the spiritual quest when it hits Mars? The sensitivity when it opposes the Moon? The imagination carved out of a tense square with Mercury? IP: Logged |

Sounds like Saturn has got everything under control. Though I know this is picky, I feel compelled to point out that Neptune Sextile Pluto lasts for a whole long time so we aren't really talking personal planet activity on that one. Saturn CNJ Neptune is a stretch but if it pulls in Mercury, I see the point. IP: Logged |

What about this for a Neptunian chart? I made this at L.A for the sake of argument, I don't know where he was born. I imagine (and it is Neptunian imagination) he was Moon in Cancer. But of course, I don't know. This is a cyber-snoop I ran up today after reading about the film Into the Wild, quite by chance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McCandless Everything points to Neptune -: The spiritual quest of Mars in Pisces Trine Neptune. Maybe it is part of a Grand Trine with the Moon. That could explain why his journey has been romanticised/captured the imagination of many - depending on your point of view. Also, the mini-triangle with Uranus/Pluto Trine Venus. The T-Square with Moon/Mercury/Jupiter. We are not looking at a person motivated by self-preservation, or really, common sense, either. Saturn is hiding. Maybe he is Trine the Moon, but I don't think so. It could easily be out of orb. I have Moon Trine Saturn. I recently went climbing in the Scottish mountains. I took a map, a compass, a mobile phone, emergency rations and a freelance guide. Saturn could be a singleton. We have tension between the Sun and Pluto, Uranus and Mercury, and the Mars/Uranus opposition between Pisces and Virgo I know so well. I have a son like this, there is no point telling him not to do anything. IP: Logged |

I think with a cancer moon, he wouldnt have been able to do the things he did. He would of been more attached to his home, family, and tradition. So moon in leo would make more sense. I liked that movie a lot.IP: Logged |

I've got Neptune opposition Mars and Venus trine Neptune. I haven't got any complaints from these two aspects, though the Venus trine Neptune makes me way too sensitive to the pain of others; I have this hero-complex where I'm always trying to rescue people from trouble.IP: Logged |

Writesomething ~ I've not seen the film, I just saw some clips and the music on YouTube. I read up on it and astro-snooped. I am fascinated by the chart. Let's call the Moon 0 degrees Leo, it moves it out of the zone of the Trine with Saturn and retains the Grand Trine, giving it the flavour of a dramatic gesture. And everyone is happy! Astra ~ I love Venus Trine Neptune. I also have a son with this (different one). He is the first child in the class to rush and help anyone who has hurt themselves, and on his school report it said he was nice to other children and always polite to the teachers. What more can a mama ask? I have a friend with it too, the sweetest, kindest man about. Get rid of the lingering ex, she is using you, I said, but to no avail. Mars/Neptune aspects ~ on LL these seems to get tagged with deception and dishonesty. Is there another side? A way of using them to their best? IP: Logged |

I have Sun 2nd house in Scorpio square Neptune 12th house in Virgo: really heightens my mental awareness and perception of all that is around me.Mars 3rd house in Sagittarius conjunct Neptune 12th house in Virgo: Helps me with drive and motivation I have to make sure to keep the excess energy in check tho. Jupiter 10th house in Cancer sextile Neptune 12th house in Virgo: I feel this placement stimulates me on a mental level tho at times I can wonder off into my imagination. I make it a point to re-focus my dream world into something creative when I find myself drifting off too much. So overall Neptunes energy is always present with me and can at times be a challenge to keep it focused however, the challenge is part of the fun! ------------------ ------------------ Sun: Scorpio Moon: Capricorn Ascendant: Libra

My husband has Mars Square Neptune and Sun Square Neptune. He's a very warm, generous and caring person. And insightful, he says of these aspects: it sounds more like me when I was young. That's the layman's way of interpreting the simple truth that you can work through tense aspects and channel the energies for the best. They have their traps but it doesn't mean everyone with that configuration is stuck in it. However, if I have a decent bottle of whiskey I would like to savour and sip slowly, it will get hidden somewhere he won't think to look, with a black pen mark showing where I last took a tipple, just in case.

Blue Moon: This was a fantastic idea and I'm glad I could provide some inspiration!Anyway, Neptune aspects, what do they mean to me? Well, I have Virgo Saturn (11th house) square Sagittarius Neptune (2nd house). As I have mentioned on several other forums, this is by far the most difficult aspect in my chart due to the extreme structure of my Saturn and, on the other side of the coin, the incredible spaciness of my Neptune. The way that I have tried to resolve the problem posed by this square is to have "structured fantasies" instead of either giving into either extreme; it takes a lot of work though. My fiancee, on the other hand, is very Neptunian. She has Neptune conjunct Moon, Neptune square Venus, and Neptune square Mars. She is very emotional and delusional in her approach to reality, albeit extremely generous and kind. However, she sees things as she wishes they were rather than how things are. It's the classic rose-colored glasses scenario. When they come off for just a second, she becomes extremely defensive and grumpy and I'm pegged as a cynic or pessimist for seeing what's actually occurring. IP: Logged |

Blue moon,You definitely should be very proud of your son. He sounds like a sweetheart! Mars/Neptune can indicate deception and dishonesty if a person chooses to exhibit those traits. It's kind of like how Mercury square Jupiter can indicate someone is a liar, but I do know some people with this aspect that are very honest. Every aspect has a shadow side and some people choose to give into an aspect's negative side. For me, Mars/Neptune can make me too nice, so when I help others they sometimes think I have an ulterior motive when I really don't; I genuinely like to help people and I don't need anyone to reward me.

i think it was alan leo (or charles carter?)who said that mars sq neptune confers artistic/musical talents and that the easier aspects actually are more deceptive than the squares and opps...i have mars sq neptune (a few minutes out) and i don't think i'm a tricky customer at all, and i do have musical talent. i also have sun sextile nep (5 dgrees out) which i feel MAY contribute to SELF-deception and a certain lassitude that sabotages me at times...IP: Logged |

I have Neptune --conjunct my Sun (in the 2nd house) --trine my Moon (in the 10th house)Neptune rules my 5th house. I suppose that may focus the effect Neptune has on me. I'm not into drugs or drinking. My favorite form of escapism is the arts, either as a consumer or producer. But I don't really think of that as escapism. I guess this is my heavy Neptune influence speaking here, but to me the creative world is just as "real" as the mundane one. Why do people not consider a boring, 9-5 day as escapism from the more creative and spiritual parts of our soul? As an avoidance of that part of reality? Because to me, the material world isn't more "real" than the spiritual or creative world. They're part of the same whole. IP: Logged |

Me and a certain someone have a Neptune sextile Moon double whammy (close orb) and I think looking back in hindsight, it was a very intuitive connection. We spoke to and understood each other without words or verbal confirmations.So yeah, I trust Neptune on personal planets just as long as it's not thrown in the midst of too many nasty squares, then I think it would cause the two to think and feel they are on the same page but in reality they aren't. ------------------ Virgo Asc 6˚& Mars 0˚ Gemini Sun 24˚ Libra Moon 14˚(conjunct Pluto 0˚ in 2nd house) Gemini Mercury 25˚ Cancer Venus 29˚ And yes, i'm a guy!

About intuition...I can usually accurately sense what someone is like and how they want me to behave. It's easy for me to be a chameleon socially, but I'm careful about not carrying it to a dishonest degree. Not only for ethical reasons (ethics schmethics), but because that would just come back to bite me in the @ss because I'd be building a behavioral prison I'd have to live in whenever I interact with the person.But still, intuition comes in handy. All my life, people have commented on how understood I made them feel. And it seems to have worked in my favor professionally and academically as well. I've been given an offer on every job interview and audition I've ever had. Also, every oral exam I had in school, I got a 100 on, even times when I doubted whether my understanding of the material corresponded with such a high grade. Maybe this was all just luck--I do have Jupiter in my 10th--but I think Neptune is at play here.* It seems to hypnotize people into thinking I'm giving them exactly what they're looking for, even when I may not be. So maybe it's not a question of whether the Neptune individuals are trustworthy, but whether those interacting with them can trust their own judgment of the Neptune person. *This post was far more boastful than I prefer to be (I'm throwing up a little bit now, actually). But Neptune is always getting knocked around so I wanted to defend it and show how it can be extremely fortunate and positive "in the real world" as well. Neptune hasn't been all positive for me though. Neptune wants to blend in, remain undifferentiated in the primordial soul sludge. It can give me feelings of guilt when I step out of that as an individual. I'm working on getting over that. It's not only about guilt though, I just often feel plain uncomfortable when I stand out as an individual. I think most people who are strongly influenced by Neptune often wish to be invisible.

I have neptune involved in my mystic triangle where is trines my asc/juptier, sextiles my pluto and most importantly, opposes my mars (chart ruler). My neptune is in the 8th/sag. I've picked up a lot of premonitions because of its location. As for more importantly, it opposes my chart ruler and neptune rules my 12th. I've heard that the opposition is prone to esapism, blunts the directness of mars and causes self-doubt. Maybe? I have also heard that this aspect also commonly is found in drug addicts (not me) and that is is about glamour (not me again!) However, Apparently a lot of pop stars have this placement too, one coming to mind is JT, a big drug user in his time. Anyway, here is another thread on, it has some good interpretations of the aspects between mars and neptune on the second page: http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11521

Me......Neptune in Scorpio 8th House: **highly intuitive **just seem to 'know' things (jupiter in gemini helps with that too) **visual daydreamer **incredibly vivid dreams **meditative and reflective **spiritual TRINE Saturn in the 11th House **older friends **prefers small groups **loyal **single-minded **help others to advance ........all points to a form of 'loneliness' and inability to trust. HOWEVER, on the flip side, Neptune trine Saturn can work to make dreams come true!!! I like my Neptune where it is IP: Logged |

I have Neptune in Sagittarius in 1st house, as r uler of my intercepted 3rd house:- exactly conjunct NN - conjunct ASC - conjunct Mars - exactly squares chartruler Jupiter - Jupiter in Pisces square Neptune in Sag actually I think I have quite a bit of Neptune - influence. I never did any drugs nor alcohol, but partly because I just felt it might be riskier for me than other people. I can be pretty intuitive, but at the same time very clueless as to how I am and what I want and what I feel (Mars rules my IC). And I know I am prone to dreams and illusions. On the other hand my dreams sometimes are freakingly accurate. I wouldn`t want to miss my Neptune - he is challenging, yes, of course, but he also makes my life, my inner life, very rich and deep, even though I have to take care not to lose sight onto what is real. Actually the question what is real, spiritually reality, and what is just an illusion, is the one I have wondered about the most all my life. EDIT: Oh and my fascination and deep love for anything that has to do with theatre, film, musical, music and actors / singers may reflect my Neptunian side. Actually, even the fact that I used to fall for gay men all the time, fit in here.

DDat least one of them itīs not gay since i can remember - itīs one of my favorites too and yours as well! taklin about the Neptune thingy...well im also fit in this thread. Of crouse i trust cause i have it in my chart and i know what it feels like - itīs not about disonesty or being deceitful - itīs more like what DD said: we have issues about counsciously discerning about what is in fact reality - true and simple - and what is the illusions that we choose to see only not to suffer when looking at reality. i have wide sun trine neptune 9 mercury square neptune venus trine neptune neptune sextile saturn and pluto wide square of AC and neptune how much more Neptunian could i be? it hurts a lot of times? Yes but it helps me strengtening and finding my own Spirituality and looking at of the others im evry sensitive and tend to get sucked into otherīs realities when having problems. a lot of time i seem "spaced out" and others if i come to talk openly i can talk into infinu~ity also - others wont get me the way i am also (merc in the 12th). i love the venus trine neptune "Venus in Conjunction, Trine, Sextile to Neptune You only want to see the best in other people. Romances have a kind of dreamy, idealistic undercurrent that runs through them. Your soul is seeking a spiritual mate and it's highly possible that you'll meet one or more "kindred souls." This aspect can bring reunions with those you have known in former lifetimes." - VERY TRUE IP: Logged |

I think Neptune aspects in Synastry are more telling of deception (if we're talking about deception).I don't have any ptolemaic Neptune aspects (I have Neptune sextile Pluto like everyone else born around me and Neptune sextile MC... Neptune is also my MC's ruler) and it's my only planet in Earth. IP: Logged |

I have Neptune in Sagittarius in 3rd conjunct Jupiter in Sagittarius in 3rd oppose/contraparallel Saturn in Gemini in 9th sextile Pluto in Libra in 1st square Moon in Pisces in 6th square Mars in Aquarius in 6th parallel Mercury in Scorpio in 3rd parallel Venus in Scorpio in 3rd My Neptune aspects are in synchronicity with my life as Dyslexic,Dyspraxic person who was in the special education system for 3 years. I had auditory therapy, speech therapy,phonics training,and fine motor skills therapy to correct my Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. I am the son of interracial black man/white woman couple (some would say that I am mulatto,multiethnic,mixed, and even confused which I have been in regards to my ethnic identity). Both my parents have Dyslexic,Dyspraxic traits. I think mainly in pictures,strong 3D visualization ability(I think in pictures,visualize things in my mind's eye nonstop),and vivid imagination and overall rightbrained which are known to be common in Dyslexics. I am very intuitive...as for being psychic,well...I have my moments. I tend to have vivid dreams including lucid dreams in which I do a lot of flying. I believe that the dreamword is a real live matrix where souls connect to each other. Therefore,I believe that it's possible to contact real people in dreams. I believe in spirits,astral visits,and other metaphysical phenomena. I am a highly sensitive person as in that I am very responsive to external stimuli in every way,and it's easy for me to get sensory overload (sensory integration issues are common in people with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorders) I am also a very forgetful,absentminded person which is common with Dyspraxics. I am very softspokened,and that could be due to my oral Dyspraxia difficulties as in difficulties coordinating my speech. I tend to mumble. I also can get easily confused when it comes to words,sequences,directions,and time which is common in people with learning disabilities. I also have a history of misdiagnosis of schizoaffective bipolar disorder by psychiatrists , and so that made me want to speak out against psychiatric misdiagnosing of people with learning disabilities and other neurodivergent conditions. I am a highly idealistic person stemming from special education experiences and my multiethnic,multicultural background. I believe in treating others like I want to be treated. I believe that there should be unity and universal love on our planet. I am very romantic,and I have a history of writing poetry. I have also been very misunderstood in regards to my intelligence(mistaking for being stupid...especially in special education years),my sexual preference(mistakening for being gay),and my multiethnic background(been mistakened for other ethnic backgrounds like Pacific Islander,Puerto Rican,Middle Eastern). People have a hard time pinning me down. I don't believe in organized religion. My own religious beliefs fit with Neopaganism,New Age,and Unitarian Universalism. I believe in reincarnation,pastlives,and karma. I can be very compassionate...especially for people who have problems. I am not the type of person who looks down on people,and so I don't see people as whiners. There is a history of alcoholism,drug addiction in my family. As for me, I don't smoke,drink,nor use drugs. Both my parents are highly Neptunian. My mother has Sun in 12th trine Neptune in 5th. My father had Moon in Pisces and stationary Neptune. Even my maternal grandfather had Moon in Pisces and stationary Saturn in Pisces oppose Neptune. I never knew my father because he had a drug problem, and I had a stepfather until I was 18 years old.
My ideal partner is somebody that is highly sensitive,idealistic,and spiritual to fit with my anima of Moon in Pisces square Neptune and Venus parallel Neptune. I literally can't see clearly. I am very nearsighted with astigmatism. That's pretty much how I am as a Neptunian. I am Neptunian in many ways. Swimming was my favorite hobby as a child. I was an excellent swimmer at the age of 3 years old. I was in the United States Navy for 7 years,and so I have traveled a lot on the waters. I was even born in San Francisco,California - a city on the very end of the West Coast...so a city near water.
My Neptune in 3rd is in synchronicity with: I never knew my halfsiblings (my maternal halfbrother was adopted out before I was born,and I never knew my paternal halfsister because I never knew my father). My mom didn't tell me about my halfbrother until I was 21,and she didn't tell me about my halfsister until I was 31. What is interesting is that when I was a child,I imagined that I had half siblings that my mom didn't tell me about. I thought that was because I was watching too many soap operas where people always find out they have a long last family member.

It's not always great to be the person who gets accused of crushing someone's dreams. So I am with Plutonian Persona with his observations. I'm sure I'm not alone in being able to think of a handful of long term couples were one person gets to be the sensible one who brings things down to earth. Sometimes I think the Neptunian persona chooses not to see, actually they know perfectly well. Deception and dishonesty can be strong words for interactions such as Sun SQ Neptune and Mars SQ Neptune. I've noticed people with these aspects can tend to makes things out to be better than they really are, but it's not necessarily done with ill intention. It's like they want to save you from the reality, just in the same way as they would like to ignore it and pretend things are better. But if you are like me and would rather be thumped with the bitter truth and get on with it, that can take some adjustment. Glaucus and I share the horrible interaction of Saturn Opposite the Jupiter/Neptune Conjunction in Sag {just the Moon is changed around, mine is Conjunct the Pluto part. The M.C makes it into a T-Square.} Jupiter pumps up Neptune, but Saturn bursts it with a sharp pin. The Moon is in the middle dealing with the fall-out. It's a stinker, all right. IP: Logged |

I have Neptune Conjunct my moon in Sagittarius. But in addition to that it Trines my Sun. It squares my Mercury and Venus. My Mercury and Venus both are in Pisces. I like my Neptune contacts, it gives me a vivid imagination and keen interest in metaphysics and the mystical. But mostly I think it gives me the ability to expand my mind especially with my Neptune conjunct Moon in Sagittarius. Which keeps me on a constant path of growth and discovery.

There's a hint of truth here with my Sun SQ Neptune. I have been 'guilty' of letting others know that things are okay for a variety of well-intended reasons - to save face; to ease worry; to create a better condition. IP: Logged | |
