If I've said it once, I've said it a MILLION times -- Neptune is the WOMB planet. She represents BIRTH - with all the pain, trauma, and repression that goes along with it!
The REAL problem is that patriarchal cultures have convinced us that Neptune is another DAD planet. That's a bunch of dung. Jupiter and Saturn are the Big Dads. Neptune is MORE that another Big Dad - its the BIG MOM PLANET.
Neptune = water = the unconscious desire to dissolve the self back into the womb, into a state of completeness, connectedness, wholeness, and the contentment that existed before we were born into incompleteness and the experience of lack and desire. Why does Neptune represent addiction? Imagine the little kid who doesn't want to let go of his mommy, and you've got the right idea. Or the E-Kid sucking on his nipple-toy. Neptune is all about our deep, irrational need to be nurtured and coddled, but there's a dark side to all that nurturing and coddling. Go watch any number of horror movies about abject, devouring wombs and you'll see what I mean!
