NATAL: NEPTUNE IN THE HOUSES

Neptune the god of the sea tends to add a dreamlike quality to all that we experience. We feel things more sensitively and are often much more compassionate and willing to tolerate under it's influence. Neptune rules all things mystical, impressionable, shifting, changing and those things hard to define or even see. It's deeply spiritual, magical and usually brings about feelings of elation, or ecstasy. Neptune rules the movies, dreams and romance the type that novels are made of. However, there is a danger to all this and that is that we may not really see things or people as they really are, but more of what we want them or hope them to be. We can also lack boundaries with others, and may find ourselves giving more than we receive and more than willing to do so. On the more negative side it can reflect lies, deceit, confusion and often leaves us longing. 




Neptune in synastry, ones natal chart or by transit tends to mystify our lives, and can often bring about confusion, loss of focus and loss of boundaries and this can negatively open us up to being taken advantage of.  

Sometimes Neptune can bring us so high lost in feelings of fantasy, true love, and dreams coming true only to then suddenly and unexpectedly ( although usually there were signs, we just ignored them) dropped from up above and smacked in our face with the reality stick, ouch. 

When your flying high, the fall hurts bad. Neptune drowns us and carry's us away in his magical whimsical current, we easily get swept away in fantasy land and see things much more colorfully and we are much more willing to compromise our own needs in order to help others. This is a good thing, but there is a certain amount of awareness needed which is hard to do under any Neptune transit. We have a stronger connection with those things unseen, otherworldly, or spiritually. Our boundaries are blurred or suddenly not as important as our new found higher purpose. 
Oh lovely Neptune, the shape shifter, the illusion, the lover, the compassionate, the dreamer, the drunken one, dreams come true.  Whoa that's a lot and as lovely as it is it can be just as painstakenly cruel because nothing compares to the highs you experience but when reality set's in you often find yourself longing, to make all of this real for the long term but find it nearly impossible, it's constantly slipping out of your hands. You just aren't certain with Neptune I mean how can you be when he's constantly changing shape, one illusion after the next. 


Neptune in the 1st house

The empath. You are very sensitive and compassionate. You a  psychic sponge in any environment you enter. You can easily get along with all types and fit into pretty much anywhere as well. 

You have a magical or illusive quality about you that others may find difficult to understand. You may have stardom looks or a glow to your skin. You may have a changeable look in which others seem to describe you much different than you actually are, or you may not photograph as you really are, you have a chameleon like changeable appearance and each person may view you as they wish for better or worse.

You can easily pick up the moods, feelings and needs of those close within your range and therefore you have intuitive knowledge that can offer support in the way that others need. 

You need to be careful whom you let into your environment for negative people can have a dire effect on your well-being and overall health, however because energy seems to pass through you, you can absorb pain and illness from others aiding them in healing. You are a healer. 

You see life through the magical lens of anything is possible and are very supportive of others. Neptune is intuitive and even psychic so you are likely strongly both of these. You may struggle with setting boundaries with others.
Early on you may have tried to be everything to everyone, always willing to lend a helping hand. You may not see yourself as you actually are and this is true for how others view you.  environment. 

You may feel drained after engaging with others or large crowds. You are very sensitive to your partners moods and may have difficulty separating yours from theirs but make a very sensitive and caring partner. 

You are great at mimicking others, would make quite a good actor or actress or anything in the dramatic arts. Other's have difficulty making you out who you are because you have not defined yourself. 

Your Karma is to learn to have expectations of others, and that you do not need to be everything to everyone. Use your sensitivities.

It's best if you choose to help others through charity or groups.



Neptune in the 2nd house

When it comes to money you either lack the desire or have idealistic ideas about it. You have a artist flair, and love things that make you feel at peace and are pleasurable. 

You enjoy fine things but not necessarily things of financial value as much as sentimental value. Money is a means for you to help others, and you can be quite generous, and even careless. 

Early on, It is possible for you to be taken advantage of for your generosity so you need to be careful about who you trust. 

Realize that money is important it is a means to a means, it is also responsible for your freedom and allows you many choices, it's not all about how much you give to others, although there is nothing wrong with being generous, it's a beautiful trait, just don't give too much. Your self esteem may be based on what you can give. 

Neptune in the 3rd house

You are very creative and may find yourself often daydreaming, of how the world might be a better better place if.., or how you wish things actually were, you have a poetic and colorful mind and might be rather inspiring when you speak. 

You are kind and sensitive in your speech with others, and are probably quite creative in areas such as writing, communicating, and cerebral matters. 

You may experience many misunderstandings with others, or you may not quite understand yourself this is especially true early on. You have a great imagination and might be musically inclined, enjoy writing poetry, screen plays or books.  You are a idealist when it comes to things that you want, and you may be on a spiritual adventure of some-sort, feeling as if you are led in life by a spiritual  guide and you are the messenger. 

Neptune in the 4th house

Your early childhood may be somewhat nebulous or unclear, and you may have had strange early altercations with members of your family that were hard to define. 

One or both of your parents may have been absent in some form, or preoccupied. if not in person than absent in nurture or there was a lot of misunderstanding between you and your parent, or perhaps you felt invisible or unheard. 

Home may have been spiritual or religious. You have learned to use your imagination and creativity as a form of release and making yourself feel secure. 

You may have experienced some paranormal activity at home, or have a interest in all metaphysical and spiritual leanings. 

You have a deep yearning for close family contacts, and you may have had to sacrifice much for them or may feel like a drifter in life.




Neptune in the 5th

You are a very creative person and will do quite well in the art of acting, or any area where creativity is needed. 

In love you yearn for the ideal, and may tend to gloss over others problems or weakness in the quest to find the ideal. 

You may need to make sacrifices for love, or at least find that you often do. Children are a area of sensitivity for you and you feel deep compassion for children that are abandoned, or less fortunate and may choose to adopt.

 If you have your own children there is a possibility that your children will be very creative as well, or on the downside the possibility of them getting lost in drugs or alcohol, since Neptune also rules escapism. Learning to build boundaries and setting realistic expectations can help ease the negatives of Neptune.



Neptune in the 6th house

Defining your day to day activities or sticking to a schedule is not something easy for you to do, you may tend to get distracted from any routine activity. You have a unusual way of sifting the wheat from the chaff' or perhaps find more things of value than not. You tend go rely on your intuition, and probably pick up energies from your co-workers or work environments. Your co-workers could be needy or vague, and could possibly work against you. Your health may be weak, or your illnesses may be vague and unexplainable, but you tend to recover when you have faith that you will. 

Neptune in the 7th house

You tend to idealize your partners, however it's likely you can marry your ideal partner as well. Or so you thought they were. Not really, you really do have the opportunity to meet your ideal but you need to not avoid asking important questions or brushing to many potential issues to the side for the sake of keeping the peace or ambiance of the romance within the relationship because those same things may come back to haunt you at a later time. I have seen many with this placement work hard to appease there partners only to find themselves giving more to their partners than they received or being far to trusting when it has not been earned as of yet only to be disappointed. You know "Neptune's Divine discontent" when things are so movie like, it's hard to live up to in reality for long periods of time and therefore can be disappointing. 

 You are a very compassionate partner, you are sensitive, kind and generous with those close to you. Early on you may have attracted the wrong types of people in your life or people with problems or that constantly needed your help. You approach you relationships with lots to offer this includes many of your close friends. You need to set clear boundaries with others or you can be taken advantage of at some point in your life. You are accepting, loving, and kind.
