These are global energies of Neptune in Libra or in the 7th House which must be nuanced according to your birth chart, see the article Neptune in birth chart; see also the article on the general interpretation of Neptune.
The planet Neptune is one of the attributes of the Anima in the chart, as such it can indicate a projection of this one, especially intellectual Projections on “social entities” (political party, club, syndicate, nation, church, etc), everything that concerns more directly mysticism, and a notion of universality, or even a form of artistic sensibility…
It can at the same time lead to dreaming, to naivety, to the fantasy of reality, to drugs… as it can also be the driver of self-denial and of the most beautiful and deep feelings possible, an opening on the monad and on a “christic” aspect of existence (forgiveness, love and faith in God, redemption of sins, humanism, respect of the fellow, values of peace, justice and harmony).
Values that are too earthly and materialistic constitute a powerful antagonism to this planet.
As Neptune remains in each sign for about 14 years, its position in houses is more meaningful for personality. The energy of the sign gives above all a basic elemental coloring, common to a whole generation, which will apply more personally to the sector of life signified by the house. Therefore, focus first on the house affected, the sign giving a background tone.
Devotion to one’s partner and to others
This is a fairly complex angular position, since here this planet can have direct effects through interpersonal Projections; it has a large effect on the social, mental, and air spheres, and we can see its impact directly in these people’s relationships with others and prominently in their connections with their romantic partners or in the context of associations.
In this position, this planet has a tendency to be split in terms of how it leads people to view others: these people may idealize others or sacrifice themselves for others’ sakes, sometimes in a very mystical sense, but they set the bar high, so both any sacrifices and disillusionments can be very intense!
It is important to be careful with Neptune in this position to try to keep your feet on the ground, to avoid trying to carry the cross of the entire world on your back, and to avoid being taken advantage of by your neighbor.
This is because it may be much easier with these energies to establish a “victim/nurse” archetypal interpersonal pattern, seeking out or happening upon people “who need saving” or some sort of help, who are in distress of various kinds, and whom the people with this planet in this position devoutly take under their wing at the risk of these people clinging to them as if to a life preserver and sucking the emotional lifeblood out of them.
This is a planetary position that does not help at all with structuring the ego; this planet has a strong tendency here to open up to the universe and to other people, and these people may also sell themselves short socially, finding their neighbor “better than they are in one way or another.”
It is important when analyzing this positioning to also look at Mars, the Sun, and the forces of Fire and Saturn to really see how the ego is structured: that is, the nature of one’s self-affirmation and its limits.
These people’s union, that is, their connection with their partner, may be very much overidealized, even taking on a mystical tone. It may also prove to be quite devastating though if grains of sand get stuck in the gears of their relationship, and this can have a significant impact on their self-confidence: these people may put a lot of responsibility on themselves and feel guilty for romantic and social failures.
Neptune in the 7th house / Libra may lack realism and be excessively emotional; these people react more based on their ideals than on the reality with which they are confronted. In addition, these energies often depend on “others” in a way and are so unstable that it is as though things are being built on quicksand. The discrepancy between these people’s ideals and reality, which is often quite large, consistently leads to many significant disappointments.
This planet can lead people to be very interested in beauty, esthetics, and harmony, and it can promote artistic receptiveness and lead people to take care of others (including in a medical or religious context), which are also things that these people like in others.
This position improves these people’s ability to find Neptunian energies in their partners, who may be marked by Pisces or by a Neptune that is angular or conjunct with the luminaries or their birth chart’s ruler, though as a result these partners may also be more unstable, evasive, passive, etc.
In terms of negatives, these people will really have to try to keep themselves away from the social, interpersonal, and affective illusions of this planet and also try to learn from their mistakes in these areas of their lives, which is not easy with this planetary position because these people want so much to “believe” in things and experience magic in some way.
It is very important for them to set limits on the help that they can and want to give to their neighbors, as this savior archetype can turn out to be rather unhealthy. It should not be forgotten that this planet in this position can represent quite brutal things in others—even though these people don’t want it to be this way—such as madness, alcoholism, drugs, infidelity, or other things which may be very destructive, against which these people sometimes have very limited power: they can’t “mother other people” indefinitely…
And it can be very difficult for others, even for those who are close to these people, to wake them up and help them see reason; as they say, there are none so blind as those who will not see, and this positioning gives people a fairly pronounced fanatical, stubborn, and blind side.
With this planet in this position, it is thus advisable to take a very close look at things before committing to any union or partnership, be as objective as possible, and, if there is any doubt, distance yourself and take a step back, though this may just be wishful thinking…
Neptune retrograde in the 7th house and Libra
This planet’s Retrograde motion here can have mixed effects: on the one hand, it forces these people to think and reflect more, but on the other hand, it makes them more introverted and passive in their relationships.
Retrograde motion of Neptune in one’s birth chart is less important than for other dominant features in the chart, since, as it’s a slow, transpersonal planet, it’s retrograde just over five months out of the year.
Nevertheless, it’s useful to monitor the evolution of this retrograde motion through Progressions; a change of state here will not necessarily lead to a specific noteworthy event, but it may indicate a non-negligeable psychological change in how this planet’s energies are used.
