Neptune in Scorpio
Neptune in Scorpio (1956–1970) dissolves the taboo and idealises intensity. In a chart it shows where depth is sought through altered states and intimacy. The work is to go deep without drowning.
In plain words
Neptune stands for your dreams and longings. In Scorpio, that works in a Scorpio way: intense, private, all or nothing. You go after what you want quietly and do not let go.
