2. Symbology of Neptune

For thousands of years, people all over the world have been enchanted by the great theater that is our sky. We watch in awe of the majesty of the stars.

To me, knowing that this sky is the same one you peer up into wherever you stand on Earth is humbling. But then also realizing that it`s the same sky that billions of people have also watched throughout time — now that is something truly beautiful to comprehend.

In the chart, the position of Neptune by sign will be shared with other people in the same generation due to Neptune`s slow movement in the heavens. This is why we often refer to Neptune`s sign as a generational influence. It becomes more personal when tied to a personal planet or luminary, such as the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars. The qualities of Neptune`s sign are those we might envision in an ideal world.

Neptune`s glyph, or symbol, resembles the trident that the god Poseidon/Neptune is often shown holding. The crescent, representing receptivity, is pointing upwards, indicating spiritual receptivity, and is placed above the cross of matter. This symbolizes the yearning of the soul to break free from the restrictions and limitations of matter/reality.

On the up side, Neptune is associated with intuition and spiritual enlightenment. As well, it is a planet of mercy and compassion. The more negative manifestations of Neptune include deception, trickery, deceit, guilt, and addiction. By house, Neptune`s position shows where intuition, dreams, and psychic sensitivity come into play. Natives may be able to rise above the demands of the ego in the areas of Neptune`s influence.

Neptune, God of the Sea, is the ruler of Pisces. In astrology, Neptune is considered a planet of inspiration, dreams, psychic receptivity, illusion, and confusion. Neptune rules spirituality, and all things subtle. A youthful, and sometimes naive, spirit characterizes those with a strong placement of Neptune in their natal charts. The planets that Neptune contact are often colored by fantasy and dreaminess, and a vulnerable nature that may be susceptible to disillusionment. Here, we find hope that is sometimes unrealistic, a poetic and intuitive outlook, and compassion.

Called both a gas, and an ice giant, Neptune is a cold icy structure of great mass and gravitational pull. Just like many other large entities in the Solar system, it has rings surrounding it, but Saturn seems to hold the role of the ring-bearer nonetheless. Because of its distance from planet Earth, Neptune wasn`t known in ancient civilizations, impossible to spot from Earth without a telescope. It was discovered in the 19th century. To circle the Sun, this planet needs approximately 165 years, or in other words, about 2 human lifetimes. This serves well to show its astrological role and the parts of it impossible to see. Being so far from the Sun, Neptune is very cold, with an average temperature of -214°C and it is interesting to observe that Astrology considers it the ruler of Pisces, a sign when Venus, the warmest of all planets is exalted. After the dismissal of Pluto`s planetary role in the Solar system, Neptune became the last official planet in a row to circle the sun.

Neptune is a place of all compassion and the feel of the humankind, and the bringer of talents and incredible possibilities into our lives. To understand it, we need to accept the fact that it cannot be understood, and only pure faith can help us grasp its meaning and realize what its role is. In our energetic body, Neptune represents the aura that surrounds us, the body of color that is impossible to see with our eyes, unless if we are open enough to put our faith into vision and bring it down to the level of our senses. Always something different from the common world and outside the bounds of Saturn, Neptune is any illusion we decide to trust on our path, including those that give our life the sense of magic.

Imagine Neptune`s role being pervasive and deep. Its mythological basis brings it into strong connection with Saturn, and they both tend to open us the “the other worlds” and the realities beyond the one we are aware of every day. The only way to bring it down to Earth is to find belief in absolute beauty and discover our mission and talents right here, where we are, bringing our past life`s rewards into contact with the future we`ll create.

In its positive manifestation, it will make us missionaries on the path of recognition and sacrifice for other people, or talented wizards who inspire humanity on a mundane level. This is exactly why manifestations of Neptune in one`s personal and professional life are seen through medicine, healing, psychology, or charity work and care for people with special needs. If its talents guide us, we will follow our mission through music and other forms of art, brought to Earth to inspire and support large groups of people.

Neptune is a place of all compassion and the feel of the humankind, and the bringer of talents and incredible possibilities into our lives.
