Neptune in Astrology
The Dreamer & Illusion
Neptune dissolves boundaries. It is the planet of oneness, mysticism, and imagination. It asks us to transcend the material world, but warns us not to lose ourselves in the fog.

The Divine Fog
Neptune is the octave of Venus. Where Venus is human love, Neptune is divine, unconditional love. It rules everything that cannot be grasped: smoke, mist, dreams, and spirits.
Spirituality vs. Delusion: This is the Neptune trap. It brings enlightenment and artistic genius, but also escapism, drugs, and deception. It makes things look better (or worse) than they are.
Generational: Neptune stays in a sign for 14 years. It defines the "vibe" of a generation (e.g., the glamour of the 50s, the drugs of the 60s).
The Martyr: Neptune rules sacrifice. It urges us to give up the Ego for the greater good. In a chart, it shows where we are naive or easily victimized.
