What Neptune in Virgo means for you

Neptune was in Virgo from about 1929 to 1943.

Virgo is about work, health and service. Neptune idealises them and also makes them less clear. This generation grew up during the Great Depression and the Second World War, when work and sacrifice had a deep meaning.

If Neptune is close to your personal planets, you help others with compassion. You may be sensitive to health and working conditions. You can idealise duty or worry about not being perfect.

The challenge is anxiety and sacrificing yourself. The strength is practical compassion that really helps people.

Virgo is opposite Neptune’s own sign. This is called its detriment. Neptune has to work harder here to show its qualities.

Love

You show love through care and help. You need appreciation and clear limits, so that your devotion does not turn into self-sacrifice.

Work & money

You do well in health care, social work, research and crafts. You combine practical sense and compassion.
