Neptune aspects
What the tradition holds about the Neptune at an angle to each of the other bodies. An aspect on its own is geometry; what the older sources actually discuss is a particular pair at a particular angle, and they treat each one as its own subject.
10 pairings curated here, each traced to a work and a page you can open for free. 10 also have a longer piece on what the pairing looks like in a life. Anything involving Pluto is absent and will stay absent: it was discovered in 1930, after every work this site is able to cite.
Neptune and Sun
- Sun conjunct Neptune· also written Neptune conjunct Sun
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source groups the conjunction with the square and opposition, and reads them as bringing a person into contact with what it calls the invisible world, while attracting the undesirable element seen at an ordinary seance. Alan Leo notes that no signs had been allotted to Uranus or Neptune, and that for the present they might be taken as substitutes for the Sun and Moon — a hedge worth keeping.

- Sun sextile Neptune· also written Neptune sextile Sun
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source takes the sextile with the trine and reads them as favouring the development of spiritual faculties: an unusual sensitivity to music, and in others a love of the occult approached from the intellectual side, as a psychic investigator rather than a practitioner. Alan Leo notes that no signs had been allotted to Uranus or Neptune, and that for the present they might be taken as substitutes for the Sun and Moon — a hedge worth keeping.

- Sun square Neptune· also written Neptune square Sun
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source groups the square with the conjunction and opposition, and reads them as bringing a person into contact with what it calls the invisible world, while attracting the undesirable element — the sort of thing it says is seen at an ordinary spiritualistic seance. Alan Leo notes that no signs had been allotted to Uranus or Neptune, and that for the present they might be taken as substitutes for the Sun and Moon — a hedge worth keeping.

- Sun trine Neptune· also written Neptune trine Sun
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source takes the trine with the sextile: a possibility of developing spiritual faculties, an unusual sensitivity to music — it speaks of hearing echoes from what it calls the realm of tone — and in others a love of the occult approached intellectually. Alan Leo notes that no signs had been allotted to Uranus or Neptune, and that for the present they might be taken as substitutes for the Sun and Moon — a hedge worth keeping.

- Sun opposite Neptune· also written Neptune opposite Sun
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source groups the opposition with the conjunction and square, and reads them as contact with what it calls the invisible world, attracting the undesirable element it associates with an ordinary spiritualistic seance.

Neptune and Moon
- Moon conjunct Neptune· also written Neptune conjunct Moon
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source reads the conjunction as indicating the same strong psychic faculties it attributes to the good aspects of this pair.

- Moon sextile Neptune· also written Neptune sextile Moon
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source groups the sextile with the trine and reads them as increasing the faculty of imagination to a superlative point. It credits ability in the occult arts and success in practising them, describes the nature as exceedingly inspirational, and calls the disposition kind and sympathetic.

- Moon square Neptune· also written Neptune square Moon
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source treats the square with the opposition, and reads soul qualities similar to those it gives the good aspects — but holds that under these configurations the person is of a negative nature, and apt to become the prey of spirit-controls and subject to mediumship.

- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source takes the trine with the sextile, and reads the faculty of imagination as increased to a superlative point. It indicates ability in the occult arts and success in their practice, on the grounds that the nature becomes exceedingly inspirational, and it calls the disposition kind and sympathetic.

- Moon opposite Neptune· also written Neptune opposite Moon
- No source before the 20th century treats this pair; Neptune was discovered in 1846. One 1918 source treats the opposition together with the square. It reads soul qualities much like those it gives the good aspects, but holds that under these configurations the person is of a negative nature, and apt to become the prey of spirit-controls and subject to mediumship.
