Sun Conjunct Neptune Natal and Transit

Sun conjunct Neptune maximum orb 7°00′.

Sun conjunct Neptune natal makes you very feeling, sensitive and caring. You have a great imagination and experience a rich spiritual and dream life. Due to your heightened sensitivity to vibrational energy, there is great variability in how people deal with such an inflow of energy. This can range from spiritual enlightenment to paranoia, depending on fixed stars and other aspects to this conjunction.

You will likely be unselfish and submissive as Neptune raises your ego above self-interest. You transcend primitive ego needs and desires as part of your ego melds into your surroundings. You become one with your partner, family, community, and humanity.

Your connectedness can reach beyond the personal to include empathy or communion with other life forms and the environment. With your ego so naked or exposed, you are vulnerable to negative energies just as much as positive energies enhance you. This is where looking at your chart becomes most important, with this aspect more than any other.

With negative input early in life, such as psychological or physical abuse, poverty, discrimination, etc., your ego will protect itself by withdrawing and hiding from the negative energy source. In such cases, you may feel lonely, abandoned, scared or victimized.

To compensate for the loss of external input, your vivid imagination would create alternate realities in which you feel companionship, support, nourishment, and purpose. You may dream up characters that take on their own form in the spirit world.

Later on, this may lead to an inability to cope with reality, daydreaming, avoiding responsibilities, lying, substance abuse, or mental illness. The void can be filled with creative self-expression in the real world, such as through religion, film, music, art, poetry, drama, and role-play.

Positive expression of this Sun conjunct Neptune will come naturally with good fixed star associations or other helpful aspects. Turning around early negative conditioning will involve slowly stepping out of your bubble or security blanket to rejoin the real world outside. A trusted loved one would be invaluable in giving support and helping to set goals.

Sharing yourself while maintaining a healthy ego is key to dealing with this natal aspect. You must learn to set realistic boundaries, so you share just enough to keep up healthy relationships but keep enough to sustain your own needs. The aim is confidence, vitality, and a sense of purpose.

Too much of a boundary will lead to the examples above of the withdrawn child. Not enough boundaries could lead to being overwhelmed by negative energies, loss of vitality and illness. Being selfish and caring at the same time will be a work in progress.

Sun Conjunct Neptune Transit

Sun conjunct Neptune transit increases your sensitivity, intuition, and empathy. Being more affected by the thoughts and feelings of others and the environment can be a positive or negative experience. The result depends on the people and conditions you find yourself in. It would be better to be alone than share the company of negative types who would drain your energy and leave you feeling depressed, scared or ill.

Being so caring and compassionate, your kindness will be seen as a weakness in the eyes of salespeople, loan sharks, drug dealers, and psychic vampires. Your interest in the spiritual world will be stimulated, but again, you are susceptible to false prophets and conspiracy theories.

Setting boundaries will allow you to enjoy a sense of togetherness with loved ones. You may benefit from joining or learning about environmental, charity, social or community work and groups. Spiritual or occult subjects like astrology may be better understood under this high-awareness transit.

At a more mundane level, this is a good time to go to the movies or escape from reality through a fantasy novel. Although this transit does sublimate your ego, you may still improve your self-esteem with mirrors and cameras. Use your heightened imagination to work out how.

This interpretation for Sun conjunct Neptune transit can also be read for a Solar Eclipse and New Moon conjunct Neptune.
