How to tell if you are Neptune dominant person? How to find out if you have a Neptune
dominant planet in the birth chart? And what this reveals about you?

In this article, you can learn everything about Neptune as your dominant planet.

Dominant planets have a bigger influence on us than most planets. They are either
conjunct important points in the birth chart (you will see in a minute which these
are), or they make important aspects with other planets. Because of this, the
energy of your dominant planet infuses the whole natal chart.

Neptune is the planet of dreams and fantasy in astrology. Knowing this, it is no

surprise that Neptunians are quite dreamy, too! Neptune dominant people are
sensitive, intuitive, creative. They have a lot of unique talents, but there are also
some weaknesses characteristic to Neptune in astrology.

Neptune Dominant Planet in the Birth Chart

Neptune is one of the most beautiful planets in astrology. When used right, it can be the
source of divine inspiration and unconditional love in your life.

If you don’t know much about this planet, definitely read this article about
the meaning of Neptune in astrology.

Usually, dominant planets have the most aspects in the natal chart, and they are
placed in an important house. When determining which planet is your dominant, you
have to pay attention to the sign it rules and its natural house, too.

Don’t worry if this sounds confusing, here’s how it works in practice.

For example, Neptune is the ruling planet of Pisces in the Zodiac. Pisces is
traditionally connected with the twelfth house in the chart wheel, and Neptune is in
accidental dignity here. If you have important placements in Pisces or in the
twelfth house, this makes Neptune more important in your chart.

If you have more dominant planets, you have to blend their qualities to get an accurate
picture. For example, someone with Saturn and Neptune dominant planets in the chart is
different than someone whose dominant planets are Neptune and Pluto.

Neptune Dominant Personality Traits: Strengths and Weaknesses

People who have a prominent Neptune dominant planet in the birth chart share some
traits with each other. Let’s take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Neptune
dominant personality!

In astrology, this planet makes you soft, sensitive, mystical, in some sense of the
word, unfit for the noise of the everyday life. You are the most ethereal people ever.
Neptune dominant people are often misunderstood. Other people who are more
grounded have trouble understanding why you are not that grounded. It is easy to feel
lonely if you are a Neptune dominant person.

Neptune rules all things related to a different, higher dimension: sleeping, the
subconscious, fantasy, isolation, underwater life. People who have a Neptune dominant
planet in the birth chart are drawn to mysticism and they can easily tap into the sea of
imagination.

The positive manifestation of Neptune is empathy, selfless service, and love.

Spirituality usually plays a big role in the lives of Neptune dominant people. This planet
rules unconditional love, and with a Pisces or Neptune dominant natal chart, you often
feel a lot of love in yourself. You are instinctively aligned with your higher self and the
divine. Suffering bothers you deeply. It is interesting that drugs and painkillers are
ruled by Neptune in astrology, too.

Many Neptune dominant people choose to be vegetarians or vegans. They love spending
time in nature and they are often concerned about pollution. There is a sense of unity with
the whole world, you feel that when you hurt others, you hurt yourself.

2/5
Some people with a Neptune
dominant birth chart have a hard
time standing up for themselves.

They don’t know how to

communicate their needs in an
assertive and direct way. This can
lead to unconscious expectations,
which are not met by other people
most often. In some cases, people
who have water signs strong in their
charts unconsciously use emotional
manipulation. They expect others to
read their mind, and instill guilt if
people around them don’t.

The Dark Side of a Neptune Dominant Personality

As always, everything has in itself both darkness and light. While we often possess the
talents and strengths of our dominant planet, we also have its flaws and weaknesses.

Neptune is wonderful planet for inspiration and service, but it is just as impractical. The
polar opposite of Pisces is detail-oriented and diligent Virgo. If you have a hard time
integrating Virgo, you have the dreams of Neptune and Pisces, but you cannot turn them
into reality without the planning and persistent work of Virgo.

Escapism is another Neptunian weakness. With challenging aspects, you simply feel
detached from the world and instead of making an effort to fit in, you choose to retreat.
This can be observed in many people who have Neptune dominant charts.

Your asylum can be maladaptive daydreaming, but also drugs and alcohol. Some people
choose to play video games all day in order to avoid life, while others completely avoid
participating in the world. The possibilities are endless here, and this can turn Neptune
into a painful planet in the chart.

Neptune dominant people have a tendency to feel that they are the victims of others.
With challenging aspects, they blame others and fail to take responsibility for their
lives.

In some cases, there is a tendency to save others without them wanting to save you. It
goes without saying that this often leads to conflicts in your life.

If Neptune is severely afflicted, you can use the foggy energy of Neptune to deceive others.
Neptune is the planet of confusion, illusions, deceit. If you live the negative
manifestation of this planet, you can either trick others into believing something that is
not true or you can project these energies onto others, falling prey to their shady tactics.

Sensitivity and Intuition
In astrology, Neptune is a planet of subtle, passive energy. It operates slowly and quietly.
There are some planets that are bold, loud, act immediately, and there are the softer,
receptive planets. Neptune belongs the second group.

Neptune dominant people can probably identify with the description above. They are
dreamy and prefer to go with the flow to taking action. This is great, but as always,
finding (creating) balance is key. If you don’t learn how to control the aspects of
your life that you do have control over, it can lead to endless drifting and ending up lost.

Water signs are famous for their sensitivity. Neptune makes you sensitive to your
environment, you notice more than most people. This can be both a curse and a blessing,
but it is definitely a challenge.

A Neptune dominant birth chart suggests that you are a highly sensitive person. People
with this planet strong in their charts are extremely receptive to the energies around
them. They soak it up like a sponge, no matter if it is positive or negative. For Neptune
dominant people, it is a must to surround themselves with people who radiate
love and understanding. When you are young and haven’t learned to protect yourself yet,
you often struggle if you live in a negative environment.

Several Neptune dominant people develop drug allergies. With this planet strong in your
birth chart, it’s better to stay away from alcohol and drugs altogether.

In astrology,water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are connected with intuition. Neptune
as the dominant planet in the birth chart suggests a very strong intuition, sometimes even
psychic abilities. You are connected to the infinite wisdom of the subconscious all the
time. For this to function well, it is important to spend enough time on your own. Many
Neptune dominant people enjoy solitary activities.

Dominant planets in astrology tell about our talents and potential calling, too.

Neptune Dominant Careers

What are some Neptune dominant career paths in astrology?

Career is one of the hardest questions to answer based on the natal chart. There are a lot
of factors you have to take into consideration: planets in the earth house (the second, the
sixth, and the tenth), the sign on their cusp, their ruling planet, the sign on the Midheaven
and its ruler, to name a few. Because of this, these are just general guidelines based on the
typical manifestation of Neptune, which is rarely found in its clear form.

If you have a Neptune dominant planet in your birth chart, you often have artistic talent.
If you don’t make art, play an instrument, write poetry yourself, you love the art of other
people.

4/5
One of the careers that first comes to your mind when talking about Neptune is art. This
planet is strong in the birth charts of artists, sculptors, but especially in the charts of
singers, musicians, and actors. The film industry is closely tied to Neptune: it is the planet
of illusion, things that are not real, and acting is the telling of a story that doesn’t exist in
the here and now.

Some other Neptunian careers include pharmacy, the oil industry, everything related to
maritime matters, fish, the ocean.

Spirituality is also attractive to Neptune dominant people.

What Does the Planet Neptune Represent in Astrology?

Neptune is one of the outer planets in astrology (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto). Because of its
distance from the Sun, Neptune has an orbital period of more than a hundred years! It
takes 165 years for Neptune to make a full circle around the Sun, to be exact. Neptune and
the outer planets are generational planets in astrology.

This means that large groups of people share the same Neptune sign. Neptune in signs is
less influential on a personal level compared to Neptune in houses. The house of Neptune
in your natal chart depends on the exact time of your birth, and it is much more unique to
you.

Neptune was named after the God of the Sea in Roman mythology. It is the planetary
ruler of the zodiac sign Pisces, and it is in accidental dignity in the twelfth house.

The positive manifestation of Neptune includes imagination, divine inspiration, fantasy,

dreams, selfless service, unconditional love. Neptune rules the subconscious, dreams,
sleeping, isolation.

The negative manifestation of Neptune in astrology is escapism. Neptune is the planet of

illusions, escapism, addiction, alcohol, drugs.
