This idea that Neptune’s energy is comparable to drugs/mind altering substances is off base imo. Neptune does not influence individuals in ways that alter their state of mind. Neptune’s influence simply brings into focus what is normally subtle or indistinguishable (thread)

ppl who have strong Neptune placements are constantly hit with information that other people subconsciously write off as unimportant or unnecessary. This bombardment of information CAN drive people to use drugs in order to escape or prevent information overload, but not always.

In fact, you’ll often find people with strong Neptune influence using their hyper-perceptivity to soothe & heal others, utilizing what they learn from their sensitivities to promote unconditional love. You see, receiving all of this information forces Neptunians to empathize.

Neptune transiting in your chart may indicate where you are noticing small things you haven’t noticed before, or where you are understanding people/places in a new light bc of what you now see in them. Neptunes influence invokes enlightenment through the use of hyper-perceptivity
