I'm still only beginning to relate to it and understand what effect it has on me. Does anyone else on here have this placement? What are the benefits and downsides? Any advice/ experiences/ explanations?



Posted by TaurusinTexasOh wow.. Interesting..
I have this as well, I was literally just reading up on it here........ http://freespiritedmind.com/blog/natal-neptune-in-the-1st-house/


Posted by TaurusinTexasAs I said, I'm only starting to understand it. I've noticed there seems to be a conflict with all my cold and unemotional placements. And then these fewer, but nonetheless incredibly sensitive and empathic placements. I definitely am very strongly affected by other's emotions, and if you're close to me, I feel them just as deeply (kind of draining, with a scorpio boyfriend). It hasn't helped me much yet, because in those moments, it hits me completely unexpectedly, and I'm just overwhelmed with all the energy that I can't understand. Did you have to learn to use it in the right way?
I very much do, I can sense how you are feeling and adjust to that in a heartbeat. It's incredibly helpful but I have to be careful of people that are super negative or they just suck the life out of me and I need quiet time, where I can just recharge.
What about you? Do you identify with it?



Posted by KemetisinmeOh yes I can definitely relate to those... Especially lately I've been having really vivid dreams and my imagination is going wild. Really emotional also. (maybe something in my transits?)

(I used the link above as a reference)
pros:
- the vivid imagination + artistic inclination
- the chameleon-like appearance .. it gives you the ability to relate to different personalities
- it's usually easy to grasp where someone is coming from
cons:
- emotional sponge: I always feel drained after I stayed in a crowded environment too long .. iirc you can use certain techniques to protect yourself but as an introvert I haven't felt the necessity
- absence of a strong sense of identity: yup .. my sense of identity feels very fluid in nature

Posted by Vixen2Wow, Vixen, that sounds like you could be a psychic or ... I can't even imagine so much neptune influence ³. Does that have a negative impact on you? Or does it help you?
I have Neptune in the 1st as well
with sun square neptune , mars opp neptune, uranus semisquare neptune, & neptune sexile pluto...fun times.

Posted by justagirlWhat helps you most during your "me" times/ to recharge? Do you have a favorite place? Do you meditate? Just curious how you cope with it🙈
Nep 1st houser as well.. with a bunch of fun aspects.
It''s very easy for me to pick up on others energies. i can and have freaked others out because i just" know" things or situations with ease. I do get drained when in emoitoinally charged situations or when around others that are emotionally charged.. took me a long time to not be as affected over the years.
i definitely need "me" time to regroup.

Posted by frostey91how comforting... 😄 do you have this placement?
Neptune in first is tougher to deal with then anthing else you can be thrown at u.

Posted by aquamilaI guess we're reading different links because I don't see the emphasis on negative connotations....rather a lot of pro positive stuff too. Balanced.
This placement is definitely loaded with negative connotations


Posted by aquamilaim aqua as well, it can be managed and yes time and experience will help.
@Damnata
As an aqua, identity confusion is something quite heavy for me. Also, being prone to addiction and depression + hyper sensitivity are also some of the things I keep hearing.
"This is a most sensitive placement and makes it hard to be happy. Ego issues, boundary issues and low ambition are not easy hurdles to overcome."
Yes, I can relate to your soul theory, in a strange way that I can't explain.
I should be backed by more firm placements such as Capricorn in Moon, Mercury, Venus, but honestly, it just makes me feel more unsettled when I do have those Neptune moments. And although I can very much "feel" others, I often don't know what to do with it, how to handle the energies and vibes I receive from others. Maybe that is something I can learn with time and experience though...

Posted by justagirlI also have moon and venus conjunct neptune, which supposedly soften up any hard edges elsewhere in my chart (talking of capricorn) 🙂Posted by aquamilaim aqua as well, it can be managed and yes time and experience will help.

Posted by frostey91That sounds tough indeed, I hope you are feeling better and have come to peace with yourself.. ¢Posted by aquamilaIt's a tough one...Posted by frostey91how comforting... 😄 do you have this placement?

I've been depressed a few times...
I feel like I'm uncharacteristically careless even with age but that could be my sag traits and or the clash moon and Mercury
I think it makes me clairvoyant
Very forgiving
In touch with music
I absorb emotions well etc
But I'm a wander without a fixed identity. I could also blame it Uranus with my sun or the other 3 planets in 1st house.click to expand

wanderer without a fixed identityI can relate to this

Posted by aquamilaI've been really clairvoyant lately especially with Taurus and Scorpios for whatever reason.Posted by frostey91That sounds tough indeed, I hope you are feeling better and have come to peace with yourself.. ¢Posted by aquamilaIt's a tough one...Posted by frostey91how comforting... 😄 do you have this placement?

You do have those big, dreamy neptune eyes, judging from your profile picture...
Have you made any experiences with clairvoyance?
Yes, I am too forgiving at times. At least towards those I love. Shooting myself in the foot sometimes. In touch with music - very much!click to expand
