We’re here to chat Neptune, so polish your rose-colored glasses and take a sip of nectar, my lovelies.
Neptune is the psychic planet of ideals, intuition, spirituality, and compassion in astrology, as well as the realm of dreams and delusions.
The zodiac sign in which Neptune is born, as well as the astrological house it resides in, determine its effect on the birth chart. Neptune displays our inventiveness, psychic sensitivity, and connection to the occult, as well as everything invisible and unknown to us. Neptune’s position in the birth chart corresponds to the areas of our lives where we refuse to be constrained by beliefs or tradition.
The planetary ruler of Pisces and the 12th House of the Unconscious is Neptune, the doe-eyed, poetry-spouting, self-destructive water sign.
Neptune is a slow-moving outer planet, unlike Mercury, Mars, and Venus, which means its energy is felt over generations and beyond the sphere of the person. The planet takes 165 years to travel through the zodiac, spending roughly 14 years in each sign. Neptune, who is currently in Pisces, will move into Aries in 2026.
Neptune is a planet that represents heavenly potential, universal love, and cosmic awareness. It demonstrates what is possible when we collapse borders and seek the source at its highest swell. Sounds cool, and it’s not unlike to a water birth at home, right? Yes, in an ideal world; but, on Neptune’s dark side, or ocean floor, lies deception, disillusionment, propaganda, escapism through addiction, and complete forgetfulness.

What does Neptune have to do with spirituality?
The planet Neptune is associated with creativity. Neptune, Venus’ higher octave, raises beauty to a higher, more spiritual level. Dreams, the subconscious, illusions, fancies, and all things beautiful and enticing are all under its control.
Neptune heightens intuition while also teaching us to be deeply empathetic. Neptune frequently urges us to make sacrifices for the greater good or another’s love.
Neptune purifies, cleanses, and refines. Any planet that travels to Neptune will return purer. This planet is incapable of enduring coarseness. Neptune’s highly sensitive nature makes us more sensitive to subtlety, which enhances the artistic part of our personalities. Neptune is the god of all visual communication, including photography, film, ballet and other dance arts, music, painting, and poetry.
Neptune is also the god of the sea and all bodies of water. It regulates rain, ice, and all liquids, including beverages and alcoholic beverages. Neptune also governs medications, both the terrible ones that cause us pain and the good ones that make us feel better.
The planet Neptune is sometimes known as the “Planet of Mist.” It makes us want to leave behind our boring, everyday lives and enter a more perfect, heavenly one. It encourages us to strive for excellence and to push over our limits, rejecting any and all restraints.
However, because Neptune affects reality and blurs our perceptions of it, he may sometimes complicate matters and make it difficult to comprehend facts. Neptune might cause us to fool ourselves (or others), or just misinterpret or be misunderstood. It reigns supreme over all things glitzy and gleaming. Remember that Neptune’s visions aren’t always accurate. (It’s Saturn’s responsibility to tell us the harsh reality.) We require a source of inspiration in the form of a planet. That is Neptune’s sphere of influence.
Pisces is ruled by Neptune. The zodiac takes 146 years to revolve, with each sign lasting about fourteen years.
So, what does Neptune have to say about you?
Neptune is the planet of intuition, idealism, evolutions, illusion, dreams, and fantasy, whereas Mars and Venus are the planets of aggressiveness and love, respectively. Neptune is all about growing, changing, and improving oneself via spirituality.
On the bad side, Neptune is associated with laziness, addiction, disarray, confusion, escapism, and being easily swayed; on the positive side, it is associated with dreams and enjoyable imagination. Neptune has a big influence on whether or not a person is prone to addiction, and this planet is linked to alcoholism and drug abuse, as well as those who try to escape reality.
What does it mean to have a Neptune personality?
It’s a planet where mercy and kindness reign supreme. Those with Neptune as their ruling planet are always pleasant, forgiving, and compassionate. People who are significantly impacted by Neptune frequently find relief from their ego’s demands.
What distinguishes Neptune from other planets?
Neptune, which is more than 30 times the distance between the Sun and Earth, is the only planet in our solar system that cannot be seen with the naked eye and was the first planet predicted by mathematics prior to its discovery. Neptune’s first 165-year orbit since its discovery in 1846 was completed in 2011.
The only spacecraft to have visited Neptune up close is NASA’s Voyager 2. In 1989, it flew by on its way out of our solar system.
What kind of energy does Neptune have?
The Cygnus Alpha and Cygnus Bravo production facilities are operated by Neptune. A gas and oil field in the northern North Sea that is powered by renewable hydroelectric electricity generated onshore. The L region is known as the “grand dame” of the Dutch North Sea.
Is everybody’s Neptune in the sign of Aquarius?
This jumble of good intentions, according to astrology, is due to Gen Z’s Neptune placement. Neptune is one of the outer planets, billions of miles away from the Sun’s warmth, as anybody who has ever had to memorize the order of the planets in primary school knows. Neptune, as the eighth planet, orbits the Sun incredibly slowly, taking just 165 years to complete one full rotation. Neptune doesn’t shift much across a generation of Earthlings born in the same (Earth) year. The birth years of Generation Z range from 1997 to 2012. Neptune was in Aquarius for almost the same period of time, from 1998 to 2021.
Why is Neptune the ruler of Pisces?
Pisces had to receive two ruling planets instead of one, just when you thought it couldn’t be any more confused. There is, however, a plausible explanation for this. In Western astrology, there are two main schools of thought: traditional astrology and modern astrology. There are significant distinctions between these schools of thinking, one of which is Pisces’ ruling planet. Traditional astrologers consider Jupiter to be the ruling planet of Pisces, however current astrologers feel it is Neptune. Many astrologers disagree on this, so you are free to decide for yourself.
Jupiter is the planet of expansion, exploration, development, and philosophy. Jupiter represents the component of Pisces that is tied to faith. Pisces is a free-flowing, open-minded, and spiritual zodiac sign. Jupiter is concerned with your religious ideas and how they shape your life. It represents Pisces’ ability to put aside their demand for proof and trust in something until it becomes true. The relationship between Jupiter and Pisces is the relationship between how your thoughts and actions shape your reality.
The planet Neptune, on the other hand, is associated with dreams, the subconscious, empathy, and fantasy. Consider Pisces’ connection to Neptune, the most sensitive planet of all, if you’re wondering why it’s noted for being such an emotional zodiac sign. Neptune represents the aspect of Pisces that is linked to the outer realms, where things aren’t always clear. Pisces has a mystical quality to it, which Neptune explains. Since Neptune is all about transcending reality through art and illusion, it also describes Pisces’ creativity.
Jupiter and Neptune are, after all, only two sides of the same Pisces coin. If you’d prefer to take a side, you can choose which ruling planet makes the most sense to you.
Malefic planets: Mars and Saturn

What does Neptune signify to you?
Have faith in Neptune a little! Neptune is the astrological ruler of intuition, enchantment, glamour, spiritual craftsmanship, and deep healing, which begins with the question, “Is there another way?”
Neptune, like Pluto and Uranus, is an outside planet, which means it moves more slowly and has a greater impact on our larger life themes than the inner planets, such as Mercury and Venus, which change signs more frequently and have a greater impact on our daily lives. Neptune spends about 14 years in each sign (with occasional shorter dips into neighboring signs when it’s retrograde) and moves through the zodiac in about 160 years. Neptune entered Pisces in 2012 and will remain there until 2026. This is the first time since 1862 that it has been in Pisces!
How you connect with your highest degree of creativity and divinity, as well as your spiritual practices, is influenced by the sign Neptune was in when you were born. Neptune is currently in the sign of Pisces, which has an impact on your creativity and spirituality. Consider yourself a lamp, and Neptune the light. Your Neptune sign explains how the light heals through self-compassion as well as forgiveness for others.

What are five fascinating facts about the planet Neptune?
Do you think a hurricane is terrifying? Consider a storm with winds of up to 2,100 kilometers per hour. As you might expect, scientists are baffled as to how an incredibly cold planet like Neptune manages to change its cloud tops so quickly. One theory is that the planet’s atmosphere’s freezing temperatures and fluid gas flow reduce friction to the point where it’s possible to generate fast-moving winds.
