"Art is the history of the future"
-Neptune portion of consciousness
The Neptune portion of consciousness is a life-enhancing creative elixir
If it seems too good to be true,
It’s probably got something to do with Neptune…”
Saturn women aren’t here to play - they are to slay by winning at their own game
Uranus women are lucky dips of cosmic chips in experimental forms you’ve never seen before
Neptune women are portals to tempt you with all that your imagination has to offer - seductive reunions with the Absolute
Pluto women are at the edge of the galaxy - with psychic vision so cutting there are no sights unseen

"Neptune is shrouded in a mystical aura, and the martyred woman of a Neptune image is a sacrifice of the Gods, an embodiment of human suffering"

Neptune in Capricorn Generation 83-98
- Building castles and corporations in the sky
- Godly self-expectation
- Ambitions are fever dreams

~ Neptune isn’t really one for collective interpretation, as in we are moving beyond language and means of communicating into dreams, concepts, and emotion.
It’s an experience that cannot be conveyed through conscious limitations - you can only show us; paint it, sing it, act it, create it -

the Neptune in Sagittarius (1970-1984) sub generation trouble can be extreme idealisation and escapism coaxed in their ambitions, the grass may always appear to be greener with opportunity, direction, and chances some place far away, as if they could arrive and sweep everybody away in a Zeus lighting storm. The imaginary impression of a life that could have been lived can become a very real concept that is mourned in a dimension they conceived themselves
the Neptune in Capricorn (84-98) sub generation do not like the ideas of wealth without work, affluence without purpose, profession without meaning, power without nobility, and taking the prize without sacrifice and servitude.
they are in possession of high ideals and wild personal ambition in life, though these rarely in come at ‘any cost’ because they are mostly unwilling to pay the price of success that comes without conscience
In the 8th house mines always like “u should smoke one more cone then you’ll be redeemed” lol

The land of Goddesses & Monsters in Neptune in the 1st house -
written by cherry
Neptune in the 1st people have an unseen battle being carried out just below the surface. Where her spirit meets body, endless conflict between light and darkness and darkness and light takes place all day and night. She hears the call to surrender to the sleepy serene of midnight for eternity while being drawn to a glowing echo. Sometimes her spirit is unsure where to go and it creates a lability of her existence that makes it all seem too real or surreal. She often gives up trying to tell whatever could come next. Everything seems a certainty in this mythic choreography. She often gives up trying to tell whatever could come next. Everything seems a certainty in this mythic choreography.
While Neptune in the 1st people are notorious for evoking dreamy, faraway, and surreal impressions, her life within is anything but a dream. The Neptune in the 1st visions are direct divinations from the divine flame. Her imagination and spellbound reverie becomes a nation in itself where she expends an astral adrenaline in exchange for metaphysical energy. When she closes her eyes, sets her sights on the conquest and chases the fantasy, she can sense the fire burning the dream into her real life as she catches it in her hands.
This excessive expenditure of physical energy in immaterial realms can result in a tiredness that she can’t seem to sleep off. Neptune in this position can design vivid, peculiar and poignant, and trilogy-like dream episodes that may result in her questioning if certain events occurred while she was awake or slept. There may be frequent unsettling themes involving combat, violence, cruelty, bloodshed, and fire, and sometimes with a seeming impaired ability to run, freely move, or escape. In some extreme cases, the dreaming is excessive and even involves repetitive or demanding physical labour. Even when the individual has forgotten her dream or believes she slept the whole night through, the side-effects of her secret life become evident throughout the day. She may experience a vague or heavy daytime fatigue, a listlessness that cannot be explained, a weariness when she gets home that can make socialising at times seem a marathon effort.
The condition of Neptune in the 1st house may produce adrenal-like episodes in the individual involving or similar to feverish spikes of temperature, emotional reactivity, excitement, inspiration, impulsive desire, and anxious anticipation that end with the sense of the blood is being drained out of her. Frequent and chronic headaches or migraines with intense auric experiences at the onset, often with sleep-deprivation being major causation may be another Neptune in the 1st side-effect. She may also possess veins notorious for swimming away whenever she needs blood drawn, turning even the most simple venipuncture or blood test attempt into a routine ordeal - for both the clinician and the individual.
The First House is the astrological house of self-expression, presentation, and exhibition. Neptune casts a great vision onto the character she appears to be and the impression she wants to create in others. As Neptune is a planetary muse, the individual may enjoy the masquerade of make-up and experimenting with various palettes, styles, cosmetics, costumes and watching the character in the doll that comes to life.
The First House also belongs to Aries, and Neptune’s fog of redemption can be next impossible to resist and will be closer defined depending on the sign and aspects made to Neptune. It may produce an inclination for harsh Aries and Mars tainted regimes, possibly involving strict physical exertion and activity, punishment and restriction, even the bloody carnage, agony, excruciating recovery, and faded scarring of cosmetic surgery to attain and maintain the vision. This brutality in her nature may be quite surprising and seemingly at odds with her appearance - especially one of Neptunian aesthetic, glamour, and grace. It can be all-out blood, sweat, and wet mascara tears behind these picturesque scenes.
This is why the mirror is a symbol that follows Neptune in the 1st around life if she can see it or she doesn’t. It’s the altar where she catches a glimpse of the inner Priestess as particles move from the light to her eyes for the enchanting illusive moment. The mirror can cast a reflection that blurs and changes before her eyes. Her transfixed gaze are all that remain unchanged as her face swirls like mixed watercolour into mirages, memories, mermaid ancestors, and sometimes a small child.
The mirror can also be a site of self-confrontation, declaring torment, heartache, and attempts to remember who she is. It can be where she cries out and for the girl staring back in a private ritual of saving herself.
In some scenarios, extreme rage and self-contempt can distort the image into a girl that she wants to hurt or even destroy, that she could shatter this mirror and see the broken pieces of herself everywhere.
The compass beneath all of this is the spiritual task of Neptune in the 1st in action, felt most evidently through the ill-defined identity that can trouble her throughout life. That evasive ‘tangible’ identity she saw others grow into and thought she would eventually too. That is not the Way for Neptune in the 1st. The archetypal Neptune is The Mystic, The Muse, The Magician, The Mermaid and The Matriarchal Holy Trinity, who all and more go through the process of ‘waking up’ in her first house as they move away from the comforts and familiarity of dewy darkness and into the light. Her story is the rebirth of a new Priestess in the spring- the Goddess who breaks each dawn, a new initiate, a new leader to guide us toward the next vibration, astral territory, and undiscovered dimension. A new teacher of scholars, a new visionary to lead the dreaming. From victim to victory, the only possible ending of this story.
Much awaited, ordained, celebrated,but most of all, content, at ease, with who she is.
Light at last,
without a shadow of a self-doubt

Takes things too far imo
Our sleeping dreams are taken in the 4th house/IC Our waking dreams are taken in Neptune/12th house.
Since childhood, your lunar house has been recording the story of your life and has seen and remembers everything in their embryonic nonverbal symbolic, visual, emotive, psychic forms. Dreams can have generational themes, we entered life in a dream as our first state of being within our mother, and remaining as part of her consciousness for the earliest part of life. crescent Moon on top of Mercury’s glyph is the intertwining of the conscious mind and the subconscious of early lunar conditioning coming together, the Moon’s cycles are also the circles of birth, life, and death, the first and latest years of life are spent mostly asleep. We dream of being many different ages in various stages of life, and the Moon's inner child often replays significant memories of places and people from this time in our dreams. Sleeping takes us back to that very vulnerable and pure state. We come into this world alone, leave it alone, and dream alone. The Moon watches over us each hour of the night as it passes through each house in our horoscope. This may be why some people tend to wake up at the same time each night as the Moon crosses a trigger or alert point. Neptune is eternally asleep in us and invites us to join the dream while we are awake. Neptune is the shadow of Mercury so the mind’s cognition and consciousness is weak but the Mind’s Eye open-wide for us to look into and escape back into our fantasy life or imaginary ideal,Neptune transports us into trance-states, hypnosis, fugue, and sedation. The world’s greatest art, design, beauty, song, sculpture, poetry, motion capture, scripts, theatre productions are inspired and nourished by Neptune Mind’s-eye, as the emblem of the ocean Neptune is our collective unconscious, so Neptune also gives us the ability to remember, symbolically, or creatively interpret our dreams, gain the ability to lucid dream or revisit them in waking life, to paint form into this unformed lunar images. A potent Neptune presence in the chart is also an indication of vivid, intense, and prophetic dreaming experiences. Neptune is always calling us back to sleep, away from the heaviness of life we pass Neptune on the way down, waiting on the borderline in the only place that it makes sense.Levitating in that mystical, magical, meditative, floating, foggy, distorted, dissociated, druggy, delirious state of being, the one that Pisces and the 12th house is closest with Cherry
