What does the planet of Neptune represent?

The planet of Neptune represents our dreams and ideas. Fantasies as well are represented by Neptune, as well as illusions we may hold about our own life. The energy associated with Neptune can help one to harness their own creative energy – with an elevated sense of freedom of expression.

Being so closely related to the realm of false realities sometimes Neptune can cause us to get carried away in delusions – ones so strong that we may in fact have a difficult time differentiating them from reality.

The way Neptune’s energy will influence you as an individual depends on its placement in your own birth chart.
