The Sun in a 90 degree angle to Neptune is quite a miasmic influence, reflecting a certain slippery element in the personality.

Unlike the trine, the square tends to be more intensive and delusive, and the empathic element tends not to be as willingly embraced as in the trine - although it is still there, now and then pulling on their strings.

There's often a certain subtle manipulative element in the personality, as there are psychological weaknesses and sensitivities that may require alternative ways to get their Sun's will implemented. On the other hand, there's a subtle suggestive element in the personality, and suggestions may accumulate for a more substantial effect upon the individual.

Like the rest of Sun-Neptune contacts, there is usually a timid and introverted character in their early years, which if often shed as they grow up, although it may never be completely removed. It can bestow much charm in the adult personality, although the sign of the sun should be taken into consideration as well as any conjunctions to the ascendant that may counteract it.

They can have such a deeply hypocritical slant that they may be unaware of it, and of the absurdities that may stem from it. In more problematic charts the individual may be considered a liar. They can be quite secretive and private, often having a significant discrepancy between their image and the true nature of their inner world. They are champions at not seing what they don't want to see. A strong enough Mercury can help bring some balance to this.

This aspect tends to refine the senses, and often gives a penchant for music and the arts.
