The discovery of Neptune coincided with the development of film, photography, petrol, and the internal combustion engine. Neptune is the planet of inspiration; it brings beauty to a higher, more spiritual level and holds sway over dreams, the subconscious, illusions, fantasies and all things magical.

Neptune refines, purifies, and cleanses through its influence on us as individuals as well as any planet it gets close to. Neptune helps us to gets us more in tune with subtlety and our sensitivities and therefore increases the artistic side of our personality. It rules all visual communication, whether with symbols or gestures, such as photography, film, ballet and other dance arts, music, painting and poetry.

Neptune also rules the sign of Pisces.
