Neptune in Leo, South Node in Cancer

Neptune in Leo ♌︎ 

Last Transit: Years 1914-1929

Neptune in Leo in the natal chart is symbolic of a glamorous energy with the ability to go through life with an eluding and disarming nature. The people born during this time were dreamers, they wanted decadence, but most were unable to obtain it. This has left people with this natal chart placement with a longing for something more. A desire to experience the glamour and beauty of life that is afforded to the elite or the chosen few. 

Neptune in Leo is reconciling the societal dynamics of exclusivity and inclusion. You want to be recognized for the unique person you are but at the same time may fear bumping up against societal norms and pressures. There is a sense that you are special or made to be someone greater than you feel you have become. The lesson with Neptune in Leo is to disillusion oneself to the glamour that appears to be accompanied by having “made it.” 

You are coming to terms with life’s imperfections and realizing that all people regardless of status, wealth, or abilities have struggles unique to the human experience. Neptune in Leo individuals will be able to find creative outlets for their dreams and desires. 

South Node in Cancer ♋︎ in the natal chart

If your South Node is in Cancer in the natal chart then this indicates past lives or past situations in your current life in which you felt like a victim to your own destiny. This placement indicates a tendency to narrate your life and see your experiences as a story playing out in front of you. You have a deep connection to the cycles of the universe and often see yourself as flowing within it. This has lead you to be fatalistic in many ways or caused you to develop a profound sense of surrender in which you do not feel you can direct your own fate. 

At times you may fall into depression or victim tendencies preferring to get sucked into the narratives of the past, family, and relationships. You are learning to understand your involvement in these situations and the role you can play in directing your own life path. As a natural storyteller you are beginning to understand your ability to weave your own narrative. 

 Individuals with the South Node in Cancer are developing a fierce sense of ownership and control over their own lives. Letting go of your dependency on others or an over attachment to your “story” is paramount in your healing journey.
