Neptune: Your Visionary Self, Your Illusions
Hidden. Psychic. Spiritual insights. Illusions. The unconscious. This planet stimulates the imagination, dreams, psychic experiences, artistic inspiration, flashes or insight, mystical tendencies. On the downside, it deals with all forms of escapism — drug and alcohol addiction, as well as delusion (and false idealism).
Neptune, like Uranus, overpowers Saturn's rigidity. Where Uranus disrupts the rigidity, Neptune simply negates it. This planet is considered the higher octave of Venus, and when it operates in the chart of an evolved soul, its music is extraordinary. Edgar Cayce, known as the “sleeping prophet,” was such an individual. While asleep, he could diagnose physical ailments for people he'd never met, using nothing more than their names.
What is the best way to deal with Neptune's energy?
Most of us experience Neptune through synchronous events and flashes of insight that seem to come out of nowhere. Perhaps we lose ourselves in the illusions we've created. The best way to appreciate Neptune's energy is while we are in quiet contemplation — meditation, yoga, listening to music, writing, or through some activity that involves water.
Neptune takes 165 years to cross the zodiac and spends about fourteen years in each sign. The twelfth house is its natural domain and it rules Pisces.
It governs shipping, dance, film, and the arts in general, and is associated with mediums, clairvoyants, psychic healers, and both white and black magic.
