Planet Neptune in Astrology

Neptune is idealism, mysticism, the occult, spiritualism, ESP, intuition, hunches, the arts. It is color. Neptune rules drugs, medicines, liquor, the sea, smoke and fumes, and dreams. It is the deep subconscious. Where Neptune is found in your chart, there you seek your ideal and you tend
to look at this department of your life through rose colored glasses. If well aspected, you find your ideal - if in difficult aspect, you find your ideal and then wake up later to find that things are not as you first thought.

Neptune rules Pisces and therefore retains all the qualities and characteristics of that sign plus the 12th solar house.

Neptune rules photography so an aspect by progression from your moon could mean you're having an important photograph taken - if in the 6th house of health, x-rays could be taken. Neptune rules tests of all kinds whether for health or for school.

On the negative side, Neptune rules day dreaming, drugs, addiction, deceit, confusion, indulgence, sensationalism and tends to water down or disintegrate the aspecting planets.
