Neptune is another extra Saturnine planet in Astrology, In vedic Astrology Neptune is named as Varun specially in Naadi leaf Astrology. Though it is far away from our Earth still they have effect on our life for good or bad happenings. Unlike most of the Astrologers I support what Max Heindel says that Neptune is the higher octave of Mercury which works as an inspirational influence in our mind.
Neptune is the co-ruler of the sign Pisces and its mode of working is mainly related to natural 12th house in horoscope. The higher vibration of Neptune can’t be observed in most of the people in this materialistic age. Mode of functioning of Neptune is always psychic, spiritual, confusing, elusive, moist, emotional in nature. Its a fantastic planet to help those fantasy writers.
- Neptune own Sign is Pisces
- Neptune gets Exalted in Cancer.
- Neptune gets Debilitated in Virgo
As Neptune is twice slower than Uranus who takes more than 14years to complete one sign transit, so we should only consider the aspect of Neptune when it is posited in Rising degree (Ascendant) or in exact trine to Ascendant, on a sensitive point like Fortuna or when it has very tight conjunction with many other planets which we call Stellium. But formation of Trine with Ascendant or benefic planets can expand the psychic and intuitive power, spiritual foresight. With such conjunction people can easily tune them with occult and esoteric secrets of nature. Affliction by Neptune can cause doubt, chaos, fear, fraud and deception. If Neptune himself is afflicted then it gives tendency for weird sex, over sexual desire, addicted to over use of drugs, alcohol and narcotics.
Neptune represents dreams and imagination, illusion, inspiration. Neptune does well in watery signs which may bring the strong imaginary mind for creativity or psychic power to connect with the core nature or healing purpose. Very few people can respond to the higher vibration of this planet.
Neptune is retrograde for 5 months of every year. Whenever Neptune goes Retrograde keep yourself away from drugs, chemicals and stimulants .
