Neptune is the planet of illusion and confusion, but also vision and creativity. Neptune encourages self-expression through imagination, artistic endeavors, compassion, music, and spirituality. Neptune represents romance and charm, the highest spiritual evolution, and a protective influence, as well as secrets, sleep, and dreams. Its influence can be nebulous and difficult to define, as it represents that which is hidden or obscure. Pinpointing Neptune’s influence can be a bit like trying to grab a handful of fog. Appropriately, Neptune in your chart shows where you’re prone to illusion and self-deception or being deceived by others. x
💧 1ˢᵗ House: One of your most defining traits is a chameleon-like ability to adapt to any situation and fit in with almost anyone at any time. That’s a perfect match for your charming personality and your knack for subtle persuasion. You’re very creative but probably underestimate your talents; your confidence level thus ebbs and flows. It’s tough at times to view yourself objectively, so it’s important to emphasize realistic thinking and to ask someone trustworthy for another viewpoint. You’re also compassionate and caring; helping others inspires you. Intuition is strong, and you easily pick up vibrations from people and places. Metaphysical techniques, such as visualizing yourself surrounded by protective white light, are good ways to protect yourself from negative energy.
💧 2ⁿᵈ House: You can be financially impractical and unrealistic, but also astute and on target, partly because of your sixth sense. A hunch often tells you when to plan ahead, when it’s wise to save, and when it’s okay to splurge a little. Think twice, however, before you buy on credit. Payments might seem doable at the time but stretch your budget later. Yet you almost always generate the income you need (and can even achieve wealth) to cover expenses, even though at times money seems to disappear as if into thin air. Be cautious, though, of anything that sounds too good to be true; it probably is. You have strong emotional ties to possessions, especially those that were gifts from loved ones and things that are linked to memorable moments.
💧 3ʳᵈ House: You have a strong visual orientation, and your thoughts probably are often in the form of pictures rather than words. Daydreaming is a favorite pastime, and some of your vivid night dreams could be prophetic. You may have a photographic memory or at least the ability to recall a great deal by seeing things in your mind’s eye. Your sixth sense is active and usually reliable. Your ideas are imaginative and even visionary, yet not always practical and realistic, so you should seek and listen to other opinions. Some people with Neptune in the third house are gifted creative writers or inspirational speakers. Although you’re emotionally tied to siblings and other relatives, contact with them in infrequent, as it is with neighbors.
💧 4ᵗʰ House: Your domestic goal is serenity—calm and quiet, with artistic décor that soothes your soul. You see your home as a haven and do all you can to ensure that it’s conflict-free. That, of course, can interfere with family communication, which focuses on tough decisions and practical realities at times. You may be intuitive about family matters and certain relatives. Emotional and spiritual ties with loved ones are strong, yet you view these relationships somewhat idealistically. That’s pleasant while it lasts; sooner or later, however, you’re sure to see them as they really are, not as you wish them to be. You inspire loved ones as they inspire you. Some people with this placement have a parent (or someone especially close to them) who is a substance abuser.
💧 5ᵗʰ House: Your creative energy is exceptional. It might manifest artistically or in hobbies and crafts, photography, music, or dancing. Most important is that you find an outlet for your imagination, which not only brings pleasure but also nurtures your spirit. Your first child also may have this talent. As a parent, either you’re very turned in (or possibly through your sixth sense) to your children, or you put them on an idealistic and unrealistic pedestal. You’re also idealistic and a romantic in matters of the heart. That’s a wonderful influence for true and lasting love, but one that can lead to disillusionment in dating relationships. Although wishful thinking can prompt unwise investments, you might profit from your ability to sense trends and thus build a sizable portfolio.
💧 6ᵗʰ House: A congenial, cooperative environment is vital to job happiness and success, as are close relationships with coworkers. The opportunity to use your creativity is equally important. When these elements are missing, productivity suffers, followed by disillusionment and possibly illness, real or psychosomatic. Blind trust in coworkers is inadvisable, however, as some could prey on your compassionate nature and willingness to help; some may have a hidden agenda. Give only a little more than you get, and save the rest for volunteer activities and good causes. You’re spiritual and intuitive, and may have an interest in nutrition and alternative healing. Use caution with medication. Some people with Neptune in the sixth house react negatively to prescription drugs and are sensitive to alcohol.
💧 7ᵗʰ House: You’re a true romantic, idealistic in love and attuned to the thoughts, feelings, and moods of your partner. Although your love is unconditional, you’re prone to disillusionment when reality trumps your perfect-world perception. Consider it a learning experience in spirituality and one that can bring new insights into yourself and relationships. Intuition adds finesse to your people skills, an extra level of charm that attracts others into your orbit. But you’re just as easily charmed by other people, some of whom could try to mislead or even deceive you. Be especially cautious with business deals and partnerships and contracts; read the fine print. The caring an concern you show for others encourages some to take advantage of you. Be selective. A grandparent might be your biggest fan and inspiration.
💧 8ᵗʰ House: You or your partner, or both, may be secretive about personal and joint resources. Although that may work temporarily for some couples, in the long run it can undermine trust. Unfortunately, Neptune in the eighth house indicates the possibility for deception in partnership (business and personal), so be cautious and aware of shared financial responsibilities. The same applies to loans and consumer credit; always concern yourself with the details and read the find print before you sign your name. Get in the habit of protecting personal information and regularly checking your credit report for errors. Be sure your home and property are adequately insured. Your active sixth sense can be an advantage in money matters, including investments, and if you’re creative, you could be highly paid for your skills and talents.
💧 9ᵗʰ House: You strive for knowledge and a depth of understanding that transcends mere information gathering. Spirituality is equally important. Your challenge, however, is focus. Although knowledge for its own sake is valuable, unless you narrow your scope—at least in the realm of higher education—you may never be able to fully utilize what you know. And that would be unfortunate because many people with Neptune in the ninth house are visionaries who can spot future trends and capitalize on them. At your very best, you inspire others to touch the untouchable and reach the unreachable. Travel, possibly on or near water, touches your soul and re-centers you. Relationships with in-laws are likely to be highly emotional or nebulous.
💧 10ᵗʰ House: Some people with Neptune in the tenth house are successful actors, musicians, or artists. Others are spiritual leaders, pursue careers in medicine or the healing arts, or use their charm and charisma in business or sales. Whatever your chosen field, you have the power to inspire others, collectively and individually. However, it’s also possible that you could undermine yourself by setting unrealistic and impractical goals that result in disillusionment. If you drift from job to job, or move on without first securing a new position, examine the reasons why. The ideal job is nonexistent, despite your wishes to the contrary. Be sure all your actions are honest and ethical, and protect yourself against those who try and place blame on others. You’ll probably be honored many times for good deeds—things done solely out of the goodness of your heart.
💧 11ᵗʰ House: You can be idealistic regarding friends, seeing what you want to see rather than all their human failings. Some are well-intentioned, true friends who will do anything for you, as you will do for them. Others, however, are false friends, interested only in what you can do for them. Be cautious, not trusting, until you’re sure of a new friend’s motives. You can gain great satisfaction from involvement in charitable organizations, where your vision is an example for others to follow. Yet personal goals can be a challenge. You’re a dreamer with high aspirations, but may have difficulty following through on your intentions. Focus on one goal at a time, and define measurable objectives. Be a dreamer and a doer, not just a wishful thinker.
💧 12ᵗʰ House: You’re in touch (or can be) with your subconscious, a deep part of the mind that some people never access. With this awareness comes the ability to sense the unseen through psychic impressions. You’re also creative and may express this talent with the help of your sixth sense in words, pictures, ideas, or another medium. Vivid dreams, sometimes accompanied by sound, can be prophetic and insightful. Solitude restores you. Although you’re a private person, you’re also a charmer who attracts people. But you can be equally susceptible to the charms of others, who lull you into a false sense of security. Be aware: others may try to shift the blame to you as they take advantage of your caring nature. Some people with this placement are healers.
