SUN SQUARE NEPTUNE

This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.

It is important to understand that the Sun rules the identity, ego, individuality, power and pride, while Neptune is spiritual, dreamy, imaginative and has escapist tendencies.

If you read the second paragraph again, you may be able to quickly see why this aspect is all about one deceiving oneself. In other words, this aspect is all about self-deception with the ego heavily involved. The Sun is after all a huge and heavy planet.

This is what makes one think that they are the spiritual master or guru or the vessel who is the one to deliver the message to God's people. Certainly, we are all vessels, but this aspect causes one to think of themselves as 'the important one' and the individual wants to be seen as important. So when this aspect flies over the rest of us (who do not have this aspect in our natal chart) then we might be thinking along these same lines.

The Sun square Neptune has been pretty much resulted in a bloated belly for Geminis and Sagittarians since 2011. It hit the earlier degree Gemini's and Sagittarius's first, and then year after year, it hit every Gemini until this year. Although you can see above that this energy began in applying degrees back on June 15, 2025 which includes some Gemini's. RATS! Still, at least it is off of their exact degree.

Now since this aspect will hit Cancer's and Capricorn's each year from 2025 until 2037, every single Cancer and Capricorn will have to contend, wrestle, grapple and slapdown this beached whale aspect. The problem is the illusion (Neptune) when one looks in the mirror and they just don't see it. That's the problem. They feel it, but they don't see it. The problem is not seeing the bloated belly. It's not that one is looking in the mirror and seeing bloat or fatty tissue, it's the direct opposite. They aren't seeing it!

DRINK YOUR WATER AND FLUSH YOURSELF!

And worse, you look in the mirror and don't see reality due to the illusion of Neptune. The problem is if you put on the weight during that time and don't take it off. The belly bloat can easily morph into fatty tissue when one does not CONSTANTLY take combative measures, and even at that, it's still hard to keep the inflated belly at bay.

It is a really tough aspect. It can either be made worse by a health condition that makes it hard to control metabolism like thyroid issues, or it can be made worse by medications, or it can be made worse by slowing down, not moving, exercising or changing the Lifestyle as one ages.

Now let's get off the body and think ego. After all, the Sun rules the ego. The Sun square Neptune can lean either way (belly or ego) since the Sun rules our identity, where we shine, and how much we shine. LOOK AT ME, which means this aspect can be rechanneled from the bloated belly (see me) to more of a stage presence (see me). There is an important mindset here in order to curb and shift the energy in another direction. One may unconsciously do a number of things to gain the attention of others.

It takes Neptune about 165 years to make the full circle through each sign, so thankfully the illusion of Neptune elbowing Cancer will be over soon enough.

While Neptune in Pisces has been squaring Gemini and Sagittarius since 2011, both signs have been suffering from the ol' bloated belly, or the inflated personality, or maybe both since that time. It's finally over and the self has been humbled. The Sun square Neptune will do it.

This means Cancers and Capricorns should be aware of this energy now so that you do not fall 'victim' to this energy expanding your body or your ego. LOOK AT ME! SEE ME! YOU CAN'T MISS ME!

It is also important to note that since Neptune is involved, which rules mental health, then depression may show up on the scene, which can pack on the pounds. It may not be that way for everyone, but it will be that way for many. DO NOT simply assume depression will be the case for you and then manifest depression.

Being hyper-aware of energies is what makes us deal with them more maturely and quickly, thereby helping us not to wear these aspects as if they are truly our identity. IT'S AN ILLUSION!!! A bad day, a bad week, and even a bad month doesn't make something True the rest of the year. IT'S AN ILLUSION!!!

Do a self-check-in and perhaps the bloated belly will fall away when the ego does. After all, the Sun naturally rules Leo, which is the sign of ego, pride, humility and leadership. It's all connected! We have to have an ego, like we have to have pain. We have to know when the stove is hot or when something is not Good for us.

We have to know these things to be more aware of the 'self' or the 'I' so that we can impact and affect as we were purposed and intended. But too much of a Good thing, isn't. If we become too self-inflated, that is a distraction from what we are supposed to be doing in the first place. If we are focused on ourselves, then our purpose does not get our attention.

If you are experiencing this 'inflation' of sorts in size or ego and there is a lesson for you. Learn it, shed it and move on. Remember, the chart doesn't lie, only the mouth does.

P.S. - AND NEVER MIX ALCOHOL with an afflicted (challenging) aspect involving Neptune or Jupiter. Don't make me say, "I told'ja so" because I will, I'm like that. Those of you with birth dates in the applying or separating degrees of this aspect, do not play games with alcohol. You will lose and it won't just be the extra weight.

If you received an 'Ah-ha' from this write-up, please consider supporting my 'original content' and buying ME a coffee. You might say, "One awakening (horoscope) for another awakening (coffee)". What a wonderful exchange of chi' and express gratitude.
