Neptune in Pisces

A chart describes tendencies in a symbolic tradition. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children.

ruled over by the psychic, impressionable planet Neptune

About this entry

Whether Neptune rules Pisces depends on which book is open. Ptolemy gives the sign to Jupiter. Alan Leo in 1899 reports the rule only as a supposition about how far Neptune governs the sign, Heindel in 1919 shares it between Neptune and Jupiter, and Adams in 1928 treats the rule as settled.

If that rule is granted, Neptune here is in its own sign, which is what modern books mean by a planet at home. The sources supply the debate and leave the answer open. Venus is also exalted in Pisces in Ptolemy and Mercury has his fall, and Adams repeats the first of these.

Our calculation gives two recent stays, 1847 or 1848 to 1861 or 1862, and 2011 or 2012 to 2025 or 2026. A child born in the second span has this in common with every other child of those years. Popular astrology sometimes sees in them an unusually sensitive age group, a modern label that no calculation can confirm.
