If you were born January 19, 1984-June 24, 1984, November 22, 1984-January 28, 1998, August 24, 1998-November 27, 1998 you were born with Neptune in Capricorn. Capricorn is the natural ruler of the tenth house of priorities, business, career, reputation, and your place in society, and it is within these areas that the planet of illusion, delusion and confusion may make itself known.
Work, status and money (or partners money) may take on major importance in your life and be a source of confusion as well. Their vision of their own place in the world may also play a role in these individuals lives and they may seek a partner they perceive as having a better position than they or vice versa. External factors and money may take the place of real love. Once committed however, they may feel a sense of responsibility toward the partner or responsibilities may play a role in relationships.
With Neptune in Capricorn you may believe the answer to life and love is years of hard work to carve out your career of choice, placing love/family the back burner. Neptune in Capricorn questions who and what can be trusted. With Neptune in Capricorn you may at times feel that you are constantly in an sea of moralistic, nose-to-the-grindstone Puritanism, and must be productive at all times, never really enjoying yourself or doing things for pleasure. Your partner may take this attitude, or alternatively they may reject standard work ethics altogether.
Neptune is considered weak in Capricorn. While Neptune is the planet of dreams and illusions, Capricorn is ruled by Saturn the planet of cold, hard reality and these two energies do not blend easily. Neptune in Capricorn individuals are realists and do not take well to things they cannot put into a tangible form or measure and one such thing is love. They mistake a life of material trappings for love.
Rather than creating a new generation of art and music they often rely on retro styles to fit the bill, or things from the past. Such is the realm of Saturn.
The lesson of Neptune in Capricorn is not to become moralistic if your partner doesn't share all of your views, and understand you are not your business, and all work and no play makes Jack a dull—or single—boy (or girl). Or it can go the other way around-no work, makes Jack or Jill poor.
While there is nothing wrong with being realistic or materialistic, love is the most intangible and sought after emotion in the world. Material trappings and position are only of value for a time and true love is eternal and everlasting.
These individuals may be very successful in achieving their dreams in practical and real settings. They may appreciate the work of those who came before them as well as some of their ideals. Their focus in relationships will be to bring about their dreams in tangible form more so than earlier generations, and build security with their loved one.
Neptune in Aquarius next
Neptune entered Aquarius January 30, 1998, - February of 2012.Neptune in Aquarius is the natural ruler of the eleventh house of friends, hopes and wishes, groups and organizations, and it is in these areas those born during this period will focus, idealize or delude themselves.
Aquarius represents the ‘world view,’ society at large, and idealism. The final chapter has yet to be written about this generation, but the harsher aspects may cause these individuals to seek out, or relate to individuals who delude them in some way, possible through drugs, alcohol or some type of religious belief or practice. Ideas and ideals will play a major role in finding love.
Aquarius is the sign of the people, and Aquarians are known for their compassion of those less fortunate in the world, and to strangers, but those who live with them can at times consider them cold and unable to form a one on one close personal relationship.
Aquarius can represent brilliance at its best, and represents the common good. Thus, the lesson for these people may well prove to be that while the common good of all individuals is always important, maintaining a one on one relationship requires focus upon your individual partner and an appreciation for all that is individual.
Neptune is considered at its fall in Aquarius meaning Neptunian energy operates poorly here. The planet of the unconscious, free flowing river of imagination and fantasy searching for our ideal does not merge well with the Aquarian energy of groups and universal love and understanding when it comes to a one on one relationship.
