It fits to me, in a way.
I'm learning also, trying to figure out as much as I can

Particularly anyone over 35, non-Anglophones, Virgos, etc.

Anything I can't figure out?

Aside from text speak? Asteroids. Floating gravel or extra bodies essential to the chart?

I can't help feeling sceptical about their use when the ones with attractive sounding names get all the attention, without any context as to their size, orb or anything about them at all.

This quote really reflects my problems with expressing myself to others:

quote:

---

Uranus is the planet that represents individuality, eccentricity, inventiveness, or rebelliousness. With Uranus in the 12th, we may feel a sense of restrained individualistic expression or a reluctance to reveal non-mainstream beliefs, traits, or characteristics. There may be a radical departure from traditional values or beliefs accompanied by (at least an initial) caution about making these thoughts or ideas public.

Retrograde planets are a little more understandable. My chart ruler is retrograde, so it's easy for me to identify with the engergies I GUESS.

Having my chart ruler Pluto conjoining with Saturn and both planets doing the retrograde in my 12th, I feel rather justifiably perplexed.

After living with these energies for 25 years, I have no constructive answers to offer as to their effect- maybe thats the nature of the beast?

(I read somewhere about retrogrades being like a retarded planet..I'm sure they meant in the literal sense, it not being a commentary on the planet's intellectual capacities).

Whatever it signifies and wherever in your chart it is placed, these matters will be more important to you in an internal, soul-searching, non public kind of way.

It may also signify that the energies and issues associated with it come from within you, or are internally generated, rather than being sourced from the outside world.

A retro Neptune would possibly manifest through
emphasized and heightened dependence on intuition and subtle energetic information that you may unconsiously pick up from your environment.Your dreams, ideals etc are very important and internally they are at the core of who you are. Strong inner life and imagination.

Being your ascendant ruler, it may make you even more diffused as a personality, so much so that your inner world and outer world may be miles apart, and the you that others see/experience is vastly different to the you you feel you are. It may make you more retiring as well.

Being placed in Capricorn may actually be a good thing for your neptune, as it will allow it to retain some sort of structure as a point of reference - so maybe all that dreaming/imagining/internal reality would create many neptunian creations (mystical/musical/artistic etc), and having that capricorn structure at hand, you would actually be able to manifest them in this reality, by first dreaming them up and then realizing them.

Being in the 10th, negatively it may mean a complete loss and hazy neptunian dreaminess when it comes to making goals, public opinion and ambition- you may completely turn away from it all, choosing to instead pursue your inner fantasy worlds, and just dream a lot about being famous :P.

Positively, combined with the capricorn influence, you may be able to utilize neptune's awesome potential for bringing into life anything you can imagine- making fantasies concrete and relying on otherworldly experiences/dreams can be a goal in life that you may project out into the world, or be known for.
(or be known as a daydreamer :P)

So to utilize the planet's energies, allow yourself to dream/fantasize constructively.

Think costume and set designers/artists/musicians/etc...but doing what they do successfully and getting recognition for it.
