SYMBOL
Neptune
The Higher Self
Neptune, the eighth planet from the sun, signifies dreams, illusions, and the subconscious mind. Positively, it fosters creativity, spirituality, and a heightened sense of intuition, encouraging a connection to the mystical. However, the Neptunian influence can lead to escapism, delusion, or a tendency to lose touch with reality. To handle Neptune effectively, embrace artistic expression, cultivate a discerning perspective, and ground spiritual pursuits in practicality. Finding a balance between imagination and reality ensures that the positive attributes of Neptune contribute to a rich inner life without losing sight of the external world.

Neptune is correlated to the Greek god Poseidon. He was revered as the ruler of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. With his trident, he commanded the waters and influenced maritime activities. Poseidon's association with earthquakes stemmed from his ability to cause them with a strike of his trident. He was also linked to horses, said to have created them with this powerful weapon. Poseidon's myth highlights his dominion over the oceans. This demonstrates that a big part of the lesson of the planet Neptune is to learn how to command and explore the waters of our inner world.
