What it feels like
Stars, lovers and grand gestures light up this generation's imagination. Its shared dream is that each person has a light worth showing, and that art, romance and play are holy rather than frivolous. In the Sun's fixed fire sign, the dream glows and lasts. There is a golden, cinematic quality to it, the hope that life could feel like the best scene in a favourite film.
Inside you this shows up as a love of performance, even if the only audience is the mirror. Creating something makes you feel connected to something larger. Compassion comes through generosity and warmth, and you can make a shy person feel like the guest of honour. Children, art and romance tend to bring out your most spiritual side, which is a lovely excuse for more of all of them.
You can make people believe in themselves by shining a light on them.
You may idealise romance or recognition, so remember that the small, unseen scenes count too.
You are a romantic in the old style, and you want love to feel like a grand gesture that never quite ends.
Performing, art, design, working with children and any role where your heart is on show suits you.
How Neptune works
Neptune stays in each sign for well over a decade, so everyone born across those years shares its sign and the dream that comes with it. The sign shows the flavour of a generation's longing, what it hopes for, sings about and finds holy. Your own note in that chorus comes through Neptune's house and the aspects it makes in your chart.
