Neptune in Astrology: Dreams, Intuition & the Realm Beyond Reality
Neptune is the planet of imagination, spirituality, dreams, illusion, compassion, escapism, and transcendence. It dissolves boundaries, softens edges, and blurs the line between what’s real and what’s felt.
Neptune opens the door to the invisible world — or erases the map entirely.
