Neptune in Astrology: Meaning Explained

Let us know in a separate comment below where Neptune is in your birth chart, what kind of aspects it has, and how that has worked out in your life!

Such an interesting discussion on Neptune... my daughter has a 5 planet Stellium in Pisces in her 11th house. With a Sun Neptune conjunction at 0°!! 🤩 She was diagnosed with sensory processing disorder when she was 3yrs old and is currently being assessed for Autism... she dislikes loud noises strong smells busy places and also sensitive to food textures and "prickly people" to name a few. However she is the most imaginative human i have ever encountered!! She loves to draw and create make believe characters using graphic design! She is now age11 and providing she doesn't become overwhelmed with her external sensory overload she truly is happy just being and inspires everyone around her with her dreamy nature. I am so grateful to have found astrology this has helped me to understand these aspects of my daughter and I am less concerned with the traditional diagnosis that society have labelled her with. She is Neptune by nature! Autistic or not. And that makes a lot more sense to me ✌ Thanks for sharing Chris, I have loved this series a lot! Obviously this is by far my favourite 🙌

Great point about psychedelics and triggering neptune. Psychedelics can be a bit too eye opening when you realize the reality of your situation is dark.

One insight I derived from this: the quality of people's experience of Neptune is mediated by how much Neptune their ego can handle, and this will vary over time and circumstances (set and setting).

Uh yeah. Laura just broke my brain contrasting belief (Jupiter) and faith (Neptune) at 30:45. I've been for a long time deeply fascinated with the way Alan Watts thinks. The way he describes the difference between faith and belief was illusion shattering for me. Laura just tied Alan's distinctions between faith and belief into astrology and shattered illusions. Brilliant and thank you! “If we cling to belief in God, we cannot likewise have faith, since faith is not clinging but letting go." ― Alan W. Watts, The Wisdom of Insecurity

Interesting that Neptune influences things like cinema & the depths of creativity but also addiction & escapism ... and corresponds to the Hanged Man in the tarot. Mysterious Neptune

I loved Laura´s contribution, she is so articulate and uses metaphors/examples that really help internalizing the knowledge. I look forward to seeing more of her some time later :-)

I fell in love with Laura, what an articulate and smart being she is. I was having such a meditative experience duing the whole talk and gained so so many insights into my own character and people I know with prominent Neptune. Thank you, Chris, again and again for you wonderful podcasts!

Thank you Laura for following in the footsteps of your parents, and thank you Chris for your thoughtful interviews.

Wow I never thought about Neptune affecting my hearing. I was always super sensitive to energy, magnetic fields from electrics and to noise, to the point that I am walking around with earplugs all the time because the world gets so overwhelming. I have Neptune in the 2nd house in Sagittarius 24 degrees. I also love water and decided when I was 32 that I will always live next to the Ocean.

I had a conversation w/ my mum a week ago about having psychic abilities and being highly intuitive. I found out she has Neptune in her 1st house. She then shared that when she was in college, she used to practice automatic writing & she used to have strong precognition. I always knew that she had paranormal experiences when she was younger but it was the first time she talked about automatic writing.

WOW this was an awesome discussion. I especially love the episodes where the guest has their own niche of expertise to share. The way that Laura discussed Neptune's relationships to transcendent experiences was very thought provoking!!! As always, thank you so much! {Neptune conjunct Venus in the 1st}

I super love this episode. And CB is looking vibrant I don't know if it's just the lighting but he looked radiant. You can tell that CB's guest is excellent if he talk less and just listen and let his guest talk freely.

as someone with neptune in the first house this episode pinged so many light bulb and confirmation moments for me.Laura is the first astrologer whom i've heard explain neptune holistically rather than deviating to the go to bias' of 'confusion and delusions' definition that so many astrologers do.

Had to give this a thumbs up before the video even started. Neptune is extremely strong in my chart so I definitely am excited to better understand my chart/myself. I enjoy Laura’s lectures and I always learn something new everytime I watch the astrology podcast. Thank you both!

One of the deepest of your episodes, Chris, and you've had many...Laura was amazingly clear with her well thought-out analysis...especially the Neptune/Jupiter discussion...Bravo, as usual!!

Laura spoke about all that I know and feel about Neptune. At one stage of her speaking, I was in tears. Thanks for every precious moment of her being with you. Looking forward to her returning to visit you Chris. Cheers, Jude

This was eye opening for me in many ways. Having Moon opposing Neptune in my birth chart, personally and professionally, there's a lot for me here. Thank you so much...

Hyper sensitivity Is REAL with Neptune/moon aspects

Thanks so much for all of the rich, important discussion here and on the podcast in general. 45 mins in and I'm loving this dialogue. I have Neptune conjunct (within a degree) of my IC as well - in Scorpio (born 1969). My mom gave me Johnathan Livingston Seagull to read when I was about 13 or 14. I will never forget that book and the impact it had on me. I came to a serious study of astrology through the lens of EA and a fascination with Pluto...and have more recently been interested and seeing the value and of traditional astrology (currently taking Chris's Hellenistic course). I now think having the foundations of the tradition is essential, but there's definitely room for the best of both approaches.
