Neptune in Capricorn
Neptune in Capricorn (1984–1998) idealises structure and dissolves it. In a chart it shows where ambition is inspired and institutions are mistrusted. The work is to build something that serves the dream.
In plain words
Neptune stands for your dreams and longings. In Capricorn, that works in a Capricorn way: serious, patient and ambitious. You play the long game and expect to earn it.
