Neptune in the 5th House ******************** You possess a lively and varied imagination and enjoy losing yourself in recreational pursuits. You like living in the fantasy world of romantic novels, science fiction, movies, etc. Your creative talent is often connected with the ability to express feelings dramatically or demonstratively. On the other hand, certain surroundings could force you to become what others need and want, rather than what you would choose for yourself. If both are true, you should compromise and provide what is necessary for others without worry, yet with sincerity. Exploiting these characteristics will bring you happiness and fulfillment in life. Sacrifices may be required in which you have to give up an artistic focus in favor of a more balanced and stable existence. On the other hand, you may place your secure existence on the line in favor of an artistic career. Regardless of whether or not you are currently involved in an artistic occupation, you will gain much pleasure from your creative love affairs through which you can express your feelings and rich fantasy life. You are quite romantic and may idolize your lover. It is possible that you are vulnerable to falling in love with someone who is unattainable and may find yourself adoring and observing the chosen one from a distance. As the fifth house also includes the fun side of sex, you may have secretive sexual adventures if there are frustrations in your long-term relationships. If Neptune in the fifth house receives awkward planetary aspects you may feel fated to suffer as a parent by having to make sacrifices for your children. It is possible that you idolize your child or glorify him or her as an important figure. You should allow your child the freedom to develop his or her inherent gifts and to live his or her own life. The spiritual growth offered to you by experiences with children is of great importance. The area of life in which Neptune is situated can sometimes indicate a type of suffering which has a sedating effect on you. Although this may not sound too positive, it should be mentioned that the experiences which involve suffering allow us to grow. Neptune in this house is also related karmically to needing to dissolve selfishness from a past life by being kind to others.
