In extreme cases, the natives are completely deluded. In some way, these people feel a strong urge to glamorize their role in the world. In order to add a greater-than-ordinary dimension of experience to their lives that helps them to feel special and important, they might be attracted to Neptune-ruled behaviors, such as secret affairs, drugs, or other escapist behaviors. They can be easily led astray by peculiar desires or self-destructive habits. They might be susceptible to being taken advantage of by others, especially by men or authority figures. They might gravitate towards the “wrong people”, or get in with the “wrong crowd” in an attempt to define who they are. Whatever the case may be, these people struggle with defining who they are. Whether the image is very positive or very negative (or if it swings between these extremes), the image is not very clear or rational. Many people with these aspects have a glorified image of their fathers. A father figure may have been absent or distant and ineffective. Perhaps the early family life was lacking in supervision or clearly defined rules. Most have in common a childhood that didn’t help the natives direct or define their lives. They are looking to identify with something beyond what is normally expected of people. It is easy for these people to trust others, even (and perhaps especially) people who might seem from the outside looking in as unsavory types. Those people born under a challenging aspect between the Sun and Neptune often struggle with a desire to be something special or to experience something more than the ordinary. Some Famous People with Sun Conjunct Neptune: Lisa Bonet, Susan Sarandon, Christina Aguilera, Michael Douglas They are susceptible to being led astray or used, as they too readily believe in others’ integrity. At their best, people with Sun conjunct Neptune in their charts are very compassionate and tolerant people. A distinctly emotional and sensitive personality is also common. An attraction to spiritual and metaphysical subjects is usually characteristic of these people. Sometimes it doesn’t have to do with the father or father figure specifically, but early childhood featured a confusion of boundaries or a lack of clearly defined rules or direction.Ī great appreciation for music is usually present, and often for other art forms. The experience of this confusing figure is carried with the child through life and is partly responsible for the grown-up child’s identity problems. There may have been a missing or weak father figure in early childhood. Sometimes those with this aspect have dreamy ideas about men in general. Their memories of their lives and their experiences can be far removed from reality. They want to be something special, and it can be easy, with this sensitivity, to feel disappointed with the ordinary grind. Those born under a Sun-Neptune conjunction may glamorize their role in the world, or they seek to connect to something higher than themselves. With the Sun, there is a need to experience something more than the simple self. Neptune acts to heighten or add a dimension to whatever planet it contacts. It’s truly hard to pin these people down. Divine inspiration or a life of delusion? Much depends on the rest of the chart and how evolved the native is. On the other hand, it can also signify a person who doesn’t want to be defined by the ego–someone who seeks to breakdown ego boundaries. Neptune acts to soften the will, which can translate to a weakened willpower and susceptibility or impressionability. Whether that is spiritual, artistic, or simply “different”, there is some kind of quest for higher meaning with this aspect. With Neptune aligned with their egos and their wills, people born under this aspect seek out some added dimension in their lives.
