Let’s talk about Sun-Neptune ✨ a thread:

Sun-Neptune people are always longing to become someone special, someone ideal, to touch the Divine in some way in their lives. Neptune touching the sun makes the natives glamorize their sense of “self”.
Always wanting to be someone out of the ordinary, it can be very difficult to accept what can be “normal” and “ordinary” about oneself. Always thirsty for more, thirsty to be more.
The Sun–Neptune person often does have very high standards about themselves and how the world should be, they want to surpass typical reality. Frequently then, the individual spins fantasies around themselves and their motives.
People with Sun–Neptune just like those with Sun in Pisces, are often so sensitive and aware of all the harshness and suffering in the world which can be what they feel like escaping from sometimes.
Ones that with the hard aspects are often prone to feeling dissatisfied with their life a lot. And it is sometimes difficult for them to decide to go in a particular direction or do anything because either the expectations are too high-
or the individual feels that if they accept this opportunity then they will close the door to other future possibilities.
The Sun represents our self-opinion, the person we know ourselves to be. When touching Neptune there is often no clear identity and little differentiation between oneself and others. The Sun–Neptune person just like a chameleon, they can almost be anyone they choose-
they can take on the colouring of whoever they are with or whatever situation they are in. Sometimes this lack of clarity about the self can make them prone self-doubt and discouragement.
It’s not just that a sense of identity can be hard to find for the Sun–Neptune type, but early on in their lives too, there can be difficulty in deciding who they want to be. There is a longing to be someone glamorous and special – but exactly who and what?
Because of their lack of boundaries the Sun–Neptune person often seems ‘fated’ to embody the Neptune principle in some way, for everyone. Such embodying may involve taking on the role of saviour, martyr or victim or else.
Because the boundaries are weak between self and others, the Sun–Neptune person is often adept at acting as medium for the thoughts and feelings of others, indeed the identity of others.
While some have obvious mediumistic gifts in a literal sense, others act as a medium through some sort of artistic or creative work. The actor who gets inside their characters. The musician or artist who describes the feelings of us all such as Lana Del Rey and SZA.
Such art-forms do call for a loss of ego. For example, the gifted actor is one whose own identity cannot be gleaned as something separate from the part that he or she is playing.
They have a tremendous openness to understanding of the non-rational. They’re often not as attached to the world or their own ego as the rest of humanity. The urge both to escape from the self and to find the self is often very strong, as is the urge to transcend ordinary life.
Involvement in some form of artistic expression is very good for the Sun–Neptune person, for they then have a medium through which they can objectify their own psyche and explore the reality of the world whilst at the same time escaping from its harshness.
Charles Carter links this combination with astrologers and again, one aspect of astrology (and psychology) can be linked to the idea of infiltrating another person, being a medium for the psyche of another.
Perhaps the most obvious example of Sun–Neptune can be found in the chart of Carl Jung, who made use of astrology in his work. His analytical psychology, with its stress on the ‘individuation process’ (the conscious realisation of one’s unique psychological reality)
the lack of rules within the analytical situation, the use of dreams, fairy-tales and art as a means of exploring the psyche, is a testament to Sun–Neptune. Moreover, Jung stressed that complexes and conflict were not only acceptable but the source of human creativity.
Jung himself has become something of a guru, an idealised father-figure, and he himself saw Freud in a similar light for a time. And the analyst, like the actor, also, to some extent lives their life vicariously; for they suffer on behalf of another.
