What does Neptune represent?
In the birth chart Neptune describes what you idealise, your intuition and your longing for something greater. Art, film, music, healing, spirituality, the sea and self-sacrifice are Neptune's territory. Its shadow side includes escapism, addiction, deception and uncertainty.
Neptune AC line
Sensitivity, inspiration and imagination grow; your boundaries may blur. You come across as more intuitive, empathetic and mysterious. Watch out for absorbing other people's feelings, fatigue and sensitivity to alcohol and other substances.
Neptune DC line
Idealised relationships; a romantic line that is prone to disappointment. You may meet someone who feels like a soulmate, but seeing them as they really are can be harder. Watch out for rescuer-rescued dynamics.
Neptune MC line
Art, music, healing and spiritual work; your career path may become unclear. A strong line for film, photography, music, therapy, charities and seafaring. If your goals aren't clear, your career can become scattered.
Neptune IC line
A dreamy, spiritual home; living near water, uncertainties around your roots. Good for a peaceful home by the sea or a lake and for meditation. Unknowns in your family history may surface; be careful with practical home matters (rent, deeds, damp).
