Astrologers read a generational planet like Neptune more in collective mood than in daily events. Neptune is traditionally linked to ideals, dreams, faith, illusion and dissolving boundaries. Aries stands for beginnings, courage, independence and action. The tradition treats the combination as ideals that want to be acted on. It also reads it as a caution about romanticized conflict or heroic self-images. A modest suggestion: name one ideal you hold and one small, real step that serves it.
