My strongest planet is Neptune. I have moon in pisces conjunct IC and two tsquares that square to Neptune in my first. Progressed Neptune in the 3rd.

I put people up on pedestal Moon in pisces but also see clearly people's defects bc of sun and mercury in virgo.

But I was reflecting today and came to the conclusion that when I put someone in a pedestal for a night or 5 minutes or days is bc I am seeing their higher self. I think neptunian people bc they are so sensitive and is the planet/sign that is closest access to other dimensions that when they see someone they see that person's higherself and fall for that version and stick around bc of that version.

Now lets talk about self fulfilling prophecy if you are with someone that believes that you can be better will raise your vibrational level and increase your self love which then leads to healing and you actually becoming a better person and closer to your higher self.

Uh,i know very well what you mean, i have the same "problem" all the time... and in a way it really is a problem, because i always see the best side of people, but most of the times they use this to their own advantage or simply think that im crazy. Or they are scared of me (especially men).

I have neptune square Sun, and chart ruler in Pisces

Hi, I am pisces asc with neptune conj to my mc in 10th house. I also prefer the positive vibe of people, but it is difficult for me to defend myself from the negative side of them... I am working on that. I live out-of-this-world experiences but I also live very harsh lessons. We are very sensitive people so everything gets magnified.

By the way, neptune is starting its transit throuhg my first house soon... What it could mean? I mean the transit of you ruler in the first house?

Regards,
Milly

I have Neptune in the 7th and Venus in Pisces. I do believe I am sensing people's higher selves when I interact with them, and I don't believe it's delusion. I think we say "Oh, I was just being delusional" when relationships go sour as a defense mechanism from other people's judgment.

I think there is some truth to this, actually. I do think, however, with neptune involved a person's 'higher self' can be used interchangeably with an 'idealised' self. As a result, the person who is recognizing the other person's higher self or potential energy might get dragged (or even drugged) through all sorts of chaos...hoping to 'raise' the vibration, theirs gets warped in the process. And I feel this can be intentional or unconscious. This happens with empaths and narcissists, for example.

I love the way you combine astological insights with other ideas and how you express them. I often think along such intersecting points, but can't express them as clearly as you have.

This reminded me of one of the most beautiful things anyone has ever said to me. My ex husband is a narcissist. He once texted that he loved me (we were broken up and friends) and I jokingly asked what was the matter with him. And he said "it's because you love me unconditionally. And no one has ever done that for me. Not even myself."
It was such a beautiful thing to say and I know that he meant it.

...and then his grandiose false self took over once again, as always; the end

I love Neptune! Dreams and imaginations, illusions and pain...drowning...fears...

I have my Moon grinding right up against Neptune in my chart. I love the world and I love life and the people I meet... everywhere I look, I can see the possibilities for happiness and pain and development over time. I feel like there's hope for everyone and everything...I really want there to be hope - but maybe it's one of the misty delusions...?

My mom is very very neptunian (her chart if you're interested. She's got a bit of a rough chart), and also has neptune in her first house. I will tease her (all in good fun) on her perpetual spacyness and "head in the clouds" nature. She's wonderful though and I am extremely close with her.

She very much is prone to seeing only the best in others, and the "higher self" in another. She has since learned the hard way and does not repeat the mistake. However, in the past she would easily become enamored with any sort of muse or spiritual leader to which she looked up to. Not addressing any of their flaws and casting them to the side. Which is interestingly because she's extremely psychic, and does not miss a beat usually. However, it seems to only work if she is from an objective point of view.

She's had to learn (and is still learning) that she can rely on just herself to better herself. She has way more talent then she knows or admits, and as such sees others constantly as above her.

[/QUOTE]

Yes I am sure specially given the fact that I always am aware of everyone's defects even when I am putting them up in a pedestal is just in that moment I choose to focus on their best. I think I tried to express that in the thread opening.

Edit to add: every single person that I have discussed in this website I have said good and bad things about, every single one of them.

I need to explain something I am neptunian but people don't take advantage of me and I aware of people's flaws......I see through people but if they have some real nice qualities that I like I focus on the their good stuff that is all that I mean by focusing on people's higher self and that facilitating unconditional love but you guys have seen me talk about people in my life in this forum...it should be really OBVIOUS that I am good at picking up defects but that I choose to focus on the positive and people's potential.

all I am saying is that it depends on the rest of someone's chart I guess whether neptune will be a danger to themselves or not. I have scorpio and virgo in me so I am very good at reading people objectively but also am very neptunian so choose to FOCUS on the potential of people. I let people know what bothers them and they let me know what bothers them of me too..that is part of how people grow but I try to focus on potential bc that is what I think leads to people believing in themselves and that they can be better and that is neptunes gift I feel.

Neptune is a good energy if used wisely.

You're right, it isn't good to focus on the negative. Rather, it''s best to see things as they actually are.

I have sun opposite neptune. I don't really think I put other people in a pedestal at all :/

Actually, I think I'm super critical of everyone.

BTW if anyone hasn't read Aspects in Astrology by Sue Tomkins it is mind-blowing, and the description for this aspect is so accurate too about the events that happened in our lives as a child (as with every other aspect it describes). Spooky!

wouldn't the opposition mean that you have a hard time blending the two energies so you go from one extreme to the other unless you have a nice mediator point. Does your sun/neptune midpoint form aspects to other planets in your chart?
http://www.noendpress.com/pvachier/midpoints/index.php

I feel that when I see a defect is not been critical is more like making an assessment of things that need to be overcome and worked on by myself or the other person. Is not an attack or personal thing is more like so you can be happier and so everyone can be happier or so we can coexist or progress.

Edit to add: come to think of it I can relate to going to one extreme to another I think that is why at the end I have a balanced view of people and then decide to focus on positive and help them with negative. My moon in pisces opposing sun in virgo is perhaps similar to sun opposite neptune in some ways.

Wait wait that explains how my tsquare works I have sun opposite moon in pisces and both square neptune in the first. moon pisces opposite sun virgo gives me ability to see the good and bad but it squaring in neptune results in me choosing to focus on potential and choosing to love unconditionally the whole package of my friend/family/lover/husband as the missing leg of my tsquare is 7th cusp (long term relationships) which has vesta and NN in it.

You are like me you put up people in pedestal but simultaneously are aware of their defects just choose to love them anyways. Well this is the impression I have gotten from you, is actually how you and I are similar and makes us romantics but we have keen mind simultaneously and are not fooled and know what is up.


But you made me brainstorm bc neptune is idealistic like crazy which would make someone super picky and so is virgo which explains why they are in the same axis. The difference is that neptune sees the higher self before defects and virgo sees the defects and then the potential if they don't get stuck in the defects. Virgos are about improvement and so is pisces they just perhaps go about it differently but if both energies work together you get a perfect blend of the best both signs have to offer.

Moon/pisces in the 4th opposite sun/virgo in the 10th allows me to see the good and bad in my and this opposition squaring neptune in the first results in loving myself unconditionally since sun/moon midpoint conjuncts my neptune in the first. This results in me loving other unconditionally as well while been able to see the good and bab in them.

Amelia, I know where you're coming from.
Personally I believe a prominent Neptune tends to obscure things.
Don't worry if others don't see you for who you are. The few who do are your friends anyway.
Like you, I have a prominent Neptune (10th house, tight conj to my MC, conj to my Sun and Merc, opposite my Moon) and one of my main problems is seeing the positives in people even when they themselves see none. Yes, this makes me a great mentor/teacher etc. but it puts me in a rather precarious position when it comes to personal relationships because I seem to relate to an idealized form of the Other rather than the real person. I know you know what I mean. I do see the person's character; I see right through them (Pluto in the 8th trining my Moon and a host of other aspects reinforcing the same). BUT I choose to interact with their Higher Self even when they are not even aware they have one. LOL
Growing up and a number of painful lessons have moderated this tendency in my personal relationships. But it's still there.

hugs,
Anongrl10

Yes exactly but I think this is a good thing about us. I am not naive I see through things quickly and warn others of things they are not seeing or don't want to see but I understand humility intuitively and the universal laws so I make the choice to interact with the person's higher self bc I am aspiring for this for myself and the world and so focusing on the negative will lower my vibrational level instead of raising mine and the ones near me.
