What It Means

Neptune in Virgo is considered a tense placement: Virgo is opposite Pisces, the sign Neptune rules in modern astrology. Dreams meet practice here, and inspiration looks for useful application. The generation with this placement grew up during the Depression and a world war, and its ideals became work, service and the ability to heal and rebuild. In a personal chart it brings fine sensitivity to other people's pain, interest in medicine and health and a talent for quiet, practical help. Mercury, the ruler of Virgo, shows how the mind works. Neptune's house points to where a person serves and where they may dissolve into duty. The challenge is anxiety, doubt and sacrificing yourself to work.
