Neptune, planet of evasiveness, fantasy and spiritualism. It is considered the modern ruler of Pisces. Its natural house is the 12th house.

In the astrological chart, Uranus is considered a "transpersonal", an extramundane, spiritual planet, reflecting a function that is beyond one-self and beyond social structures. It does not constitute a part of the basic psychological make-up of the personality, but rather lends itself to whatever personal planet it is aspecting.

edit this Function

Neptune represents a much higher spiritual principle. It is a light that guides humanity, one of the main functions that advances human society and consciousness.

Neptune in itself may rather be lacking in worldly drive, and instead is more emotionally refined and artistic. A well focussed chart is needed to take advantage of its advantages. It tends to be more private in its demeanor, and more retiring and timid.

It is more subtle and highly impressionable, which makes it able to grasp fine, perhaps non-verbal messages and influences, and respond to them in a similar subtle fashion, often having more significant consequences that are more in-line with personal desires.

It is very imaginative, at times too imaginative.

This planet teaches us early on the limitation of our capabilities, and that as much as we may want something, we just cannot have it. So instead we go within and build an internal world as we want the outer world to look like. The rest of our lives deals with the experience of the differences between these worlds, especially on the emotional level, and the desire to enact these fine inner visions. A strong enough, marshalled chart may just find some success in this.
