Lesson 1: Design Your Dream Relationship
Neptune: Your Fantasy GPS
My Neptune is in (zodiac sign): _________________________
Sweet, sweet fantasy. Neptune, the planet of illusions and dissolver of boundaries, drops a rose-tinted lens over our eyes. In every species, idealizing is part of the mating ritual. In order to let a “flawed” human make it past our defenses, we need Neptune’s soft-filtering (or full-on smoke-machine) effect! Your Neptune placement can reveal your idea of a fairy tale: Does it involve a white-picket fence or a cosmopolitan penthouse with 360º views? (And maybe a 50 Shades style "Red Room" to boot.) But limits...what are those? Your Neptune sign can reveal your relationship to setting boundaries. Are yours iron-clad (the point of being rigid), easygoing, or so non-existent you forget where you end and your love interest begins? As the planet of compassion and sacrifices, Neptune can even provoke a crisis of codependency if you let its influence overtake your relationship.
The esoteric and spiritual realms are also Neptune’s domain. It also teaches us that sometimes we must have faith in our fantasies. Any time you use The Law of Attraction (“what you focus on expands”) you are working Neptune. There’s a lot of magic to play with here!
