Neptune and the Loss of the Ideal: Navigating Empathy, Inspiration, and Disillusionment

Neptune and the Loss of the Ideal: Navigating Empathy, Inspiration, and Disillusionment with Simon Vorster

​

In Evolutionary Astrology, Neptune symbolizes our soul’s longing to return to Source, the archetype of divine inspiration, compassion, and unity consciousness. Yet Neptune also correlates to the loss of boundaries, disillusionment, and the temptation to escape life when reality fails to match the dream.

In this lecture, Simon will explore Neptune’s evolutionary role: how it awakens the soul’s highest ideals, and how those same ideals can dissolve into confusion or overwhelm when they are not grounded. We will examine Neptune’s placement by house, sign, and aspects to understand both the gifts and the challenges this archetype brings. This exploration will offer guidance for recognizing Neptune’s presence in the natal chart and for living its ideals without losing the self in the process.
