Neptune
rules Pisces
Dreams · Inspiration · Mist
✦ The essence of Neptune ✦
Neptune is the sacred mist: the planet of dreams, inspiration, compassion and illusions. It dissolves borders: between you and the other, between the real and the imagined, between doubt and faith. It gives the world its artists, its mystics, its idealists, and sometimes the mirages that come with them.
In your chart
Your Neptune shows where you dream the world rather than see it: the domain of your finest inspirations and your most stubborn illusions. Where it touches, ask for proof, not promises.
Neptune retrograde
Five to six months a year. The veil lifts a little: the illusions you keep up become harder to maintain, the truths you were avoiding rise gently. It is less comfortable and more clear. Lucidity is a form of magic too.

The Hanged Man
In the tradition, Neptune answers to The Hanged Man, the card of the changed perspective, the willing pause and the wisdom of seeing otherwise. This card colours the way the planet acts in your sky.
