Positions
Neptune in Sagittarius
A deep generational placement (roughly 1970 to 1984, the years that popularized the spiritual seeker and the global wanderer), Neptune in Sagittarius pours the longing for the ideal into belief, philosophy, travel, and meaning itself, so a cohort dreams of a truth big enough to live by and goes looking for it everywhere. At its most inspired it gives real faith, a generous vision, and an openness to other worlds. Its blind spot is credulity, guru-worship, and a certainty that floats free of evidence. In one person it can read as a sincere spiritual idealism that can be led astray by a confident promise. The work is seeking truth while keeping your feet and your skepticism. At your best you keep the search for meaning alive.
Lean in — Seek the truth while keeping your feet and your judgment.
Watch for — Follow any confident promise of the answer.
