Neptune in astrology

What Neptune represents

Neptune represents the dissolving of boundaries: imagination, spirituality, compassion, and also confusion or escapism. It shows where you idealize and where you can transcend the ego. It is generational: its sign colors the dreams and ideals of an entire era.
