Sun opposite Neptune natal makes you a complicated and contradictory person. You are compassionate, sympathetic and caring but can become confused, defensive and deceptive. You can be a sinner and a saint, immoral and devout. Glamor and fame are possible, but so are despair and infamy.
Neptune distorts your ego and identity and makes you highly sensitive and susceptible to negative energies. It causes inner tension, insecurities and sometimes inferiority complexes, but you project a more confident outer appearance. Just as your perception of reality can become clouded by misconceptions, the image you project can be illusionary.
Sun opposite Neptune is associated with disillusionment, disappointments, moral tribulation and redemption. It gives idealism, strong spiritual or religious beliefs, the courage of your convictions, and a tendency to fight against what you perceive as injustice. However, you can fight for futile or lost causes. This can make you appear rebellious, controversial and provocative.
Neptune can have a weakening effect on your willpower and vitality that gives you a tendency to avoid direct conflict and makes you susceptible to abuse, deception, illness and addiction. Yet, there can be stubbornness or inability to change your behavior and ideals. You have a vivid imagination that can lead to fantasies, wishful thinking, self-deception and belief in conspiracy theories.
If you feel threatened, you may use non-direct methods to avoid ego battles or power plays. Such tactics may include deception, fraud, lies, and other subversive or underhand tactics. You may have victories but worry and guilt will eventually erode your self-confidence and leave you feeling weak or discouraged. Being upfront and direct reduces the risk of being misunderstood.
It is essential that when you go through periods of discouragement, you do not become dependent on things that artificially boost your confidence. We all need a crutch sometimes, but remember, you are more sensitive than most to mind-altering substances. You may also have to take extra precautions to avoid infection and contamination.
You will likely experience strange events or become involved in mysteries or scandals. You may be a naturally suspicious person, which is healthy as this is a defense mechanism against being taken advantage of. This counters your tendency to over-idealize others or to be over-sympathetic.
Mastering your creative or spiritual gifts is a better way to develop a healthy ego. Your strengths are compassion and idealism, which can lead to confident self-expression in careers involving politics, human rights or charities. Other creative talents include music, writing, poetry, dance and fashion.
Sun Opposite Neptune Transit
Sun opposite Neptune transit makes you more susceptible to confusion and deception, leading to insecurity and discouragement. If you can avoid ego conflicts and retreat to a safe place, this is an excellent time to develop your creative, spiritual, and charitable nature.
If you cannot avoid dealing with the harsh realities of life, then you need to take some precautions to prevent loss and disappointment. You are likely to feel scared of competition or dealing with assertive people.
Your weakened defenses can attract sneaky people who try to exploit your kindness and compassion. Then there are the tricksters, charlatans, and others trying to sell you things you do not need or do not exist.
If it sounds too good to be true, then it is. Learn to say no and walk away. Agree to nothing and do not sign anything. Be wary about starting new relationships or at least delay any commitments. Most importantly, be very clear to yourself and others about your intentions. There can be no gray areas, only yes or no. Any deception, underhand tactics, or lying will be like digging a giant hole for yourself.
If you face disappointment and discouragement, it will be tempting to escape the harsh realities of life through mind-altering substances. Remember, you are more susceptible to addiction, overdose, and being ripped off.

My birthday is 3rd September!
That tells us that your Sun is around 11 Virgo so you will have Neptune opposite Sun transit this year. We need year of birth to see your natal aspects to Sun.
1966, I’m also worried about the 1st September eclipse!
Yes, this birthday eclipse will highlight Saturn square Neptune but look at this in combination with the September 16 lunar eclipse and things look better. It is near your Saturn but tightly trine your Jupiter. You will have Moon trine Jupiter transit and Sun sextile Jupiter transit for six months.
I’m sorry, I don’t understand how the moon and sun transits will last for 6 months?
This is because they come as an eclipse. You will see under each transit description I say it can apply to moon phases. 2 weeks for a full moon, 4 weeks for a new moon. 6 months for eclipses.
Thank you, some positivity at last!
I was worrying about my 10 Virgo sun.
Have only just survived the last few years with having a Libra ascendant, Capricorn IC and 16 Aries moon!!
Looks like a challenging number of days, with sun transits lasting 2 days and we had a sun Sq. Saturn yesturday
Yep, this ties into the solar eclipse opposite Saturn square Neptune. It could last a lot longer than a few days for some.
Johnny Cash had Sun Opposition Neptune exact…I do as well. This description fits me well. Thank you.
Thank you Katherine I did not have him in my files. I will add him to the post,
Neptune passed back and forth, back and forth, opposite my natal Sun from about 2001 to 2004. During this time, my whole life dissolved.
I was forced into early retirement and all the financial plans I’d made just didn’t quite fit with my new situation.
Looking back, I can see that many of my reactions during that time were rather muddle-headed. And I think I was karmically meant to be where I am now, and just didn’t make adequate plans for it all.
Eventually, just when I had the time to finally fix up my dream home, I had to sell it. Got a very good price for it, though.
I made a new friend who turned out not to be who he seemed. He told a lie about me to a group of acquaintances, and to my shock and disbelief they believed him and not me. So my social life disintegrated to a degree as well. Long-standing friendships were dissolved by deaths, too.
Spiritually, I felt I made huge progress. And my irritation with people who got their aggressive / assertive reactions mixed up FINALLY taught me to stand up for myself – quietly and calmly.
I feel like having the sun opposite a planet is like having the sign rules by that planet as an ascendant except you get more of that sign’s negative traits …
My old comment up there seems to assume that transiting Neptune being opposite natal Sun has a similar effect to tr Sun opposing natal Neptune. Except that tr Neptune is around for a long, LONG time.
Is this true, Jamie?
Yes it can be up to a year because of retrograde motion.
Thank you for clearing that up for me, Jamie
Jamie, I have natal Sun (28.38 degrees Pisces) opposition Neptune (3 degrees Libra). And now transit Sun is conjunct my natal Neptune. I sleep a lot, am vaguely fearful and somehow hopeful, and I cannot touch alcohol for fear of a loss of balance. I have never noticed this transit before. I’d like it to be gone, for there is also a creepy edge to it. Is this weird?
My birthday is on 6th June…Have this opposition in my natal chart. Let me know would this year bring clarity to my ordained life. A Deflected soul

thoughts of capitulation and NFTs that went no-where, here is your chart.

and it is Perriton, not Pelliton.
Try making a PHI hexagon from this chart. Virgo rules methods, processes. Food processing for instance, winemaking. Or building a housing complex. There’s a big market for your art, just get the cost down.

I dated a guy with sun and mercury opposite his Neptune, and he was very deceptive. Would weave stories together with me, his friends, family. I think all to avoid conflict or disappointing people, but it often made things much worse than if he’d been honest. Would ghost a lot too.
Another guy I know has mercury opposite Neptune without the sun and he’s manipulative and avoids hard convos but his sun is positioned well. I think for the former guy it’s challenging to have both your sun and how you think in total alignment opposite Neptune. Must be very confusing.
