The Sacrifice
Neptune symbolizes altruism, idealism and the imagination. It evokes the spiritual world that science cannot explain. It was named for the god of the sea and is associated with water, ruling Pisces. When Neptune moves into a new sign or enters an aspect with another planet, it cleanses that sign or body, purifying the other and strengthening its attributes. Neptune dissolves Saturnian Boundaries and the individual ego. However, it is very possible to get lost in all the transcendence. Without boundaries, we are more open to deception and illusions. Idealism can be hard to discern from escapism in such unclear territory. Neptune will be in transit as Pisces until 2026 and being in its ruling sign brings global spiritual awakening and a rise in inspiration, creativity and compassion.
