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.
