Neptune in Taurus
Neptune in Taurus points to a dream of beauty, nature, harmony with the body and a material world filled with meaning. Neptune spends about 13 to 14 years in a sign. It was last in Taurus in the 19th century, so no one alive today has it natally. The next period begins around 2038 or 2039.
What It Means
Neptune in Taurus blends imagination with sensuality and love of the land. The generation born in the 1870s and 1880s idealized nature, craftsmanship, beauty and stability, and the art of that era is full of landscapes, music and a longing for the natural. Taurus, ruled by Venus, gives Neptune a warm, aesthetic tone. If you study the charts of ancestors or historical figures, this placement hints at their ideals. For people alive now, the future transit matters more: when Neptune enters Taurus, astrologers expect a rethinking of values, money and our relationship with nature. The challenge of the placement is illusion around money and material security.
Love and Relationships
In the chart of someone with this placement, love is colored by sensuality and a dream of a harmonious, beautiful union. The risk is idealizing comfort and the partner who provides it.
Work and Money
The placement is traditionally linked with art, music, gardening, working with nature, crafts, fragrance and food. During the coming transit these areas may become sources of inspiration for many people.
Generation and Personal Meaning
Neptune was in Taurus roughly from 1874 to 1889 and will return from about 2038 or 2039 to 2051 or 2052. Today it appears only in historical charts. When the transit begins, its personal meaning will depend on the house of your chart Neptune crosses and its aspects to Venus, the Sun and the Moon.
