Summary
Neptune transits through the signs of the Zodiac influence the generations of people born during these transits.
That makes Neptune a transpersonal planet, unlike the personal planets which are the most responsible for creating people’s characters. the difference is in the time these planets transit through one sign.
While personal planets need around maximum of two months when they are in a direct mode to pass through a sign, Neptune needs 14 years to finish its travel through one sign.
That is why, Neptune influences the events and changes in the areas ruled by Neptune and the sign it currently transits.
Its influence on individuals can be seen as a combination of its placement in the natal chart of the person, as well as the aspects it is making with the planets in the chart. Current transits and progressions should also be looked at.
People who are born during Neptune’s transit through the sign of Scorpio, usually exhibit interest in the secretive side of life, secret knowledge, mysteries, and similar subjects.
