Neptune is associated astrologically with imagination, spirituality, ideals, sensitivity, inspiration, compassion, dreams, and the dissolving or softening of boundaries. It is commonly grouped as a Transpersonal Planet and may also be described as a Generational Planet because of its slow movement through the zodiac. Astronomically, Neptune is an Outer Planet and a Superior Planet. Its individual significance within a Natal Chart depends especially on its Aspects and, when an exact birth time is known, House placement, as well as its relationship to the larger pattern of Your Zodiacal Configuration.
