The Natal Sun-Neptune Opposition
Some Empirical Research Results

In astrology, the zodiac sign opposite your Sun sign reflects your relationships and encounters in the widest sense.

The zodiac sign opposite your own Sun sign acts like a mirror and represents everyone and everything you encounter.

It makes sense that planets that oppose your Sun and are thus in the zodiac sign opposite your Sun sign, or in the 7th sign counting from your Sun sign, or around the 7th house cusp (equal house system with the Sun on the Ascendant), reflect characteristics and traits of your encounter, of "the other."

Such planets take on a relationship meaning, which is also the meaning of an opposition aspect.

Oppositions point to awareness coming from external sources or persons outside of us.

We at Cosmic Technologies wanted to find out if such planets actually could describe your relationships and/or partners.

Thanks to the Swiss Astrodatabank we were able to research solar oppositions.

In this article, we describe the natal Sun-Neptune opposition (taking into account an orb of 3°).

As usual, our research is divided into male and female horoscopes.

Unlike other natal Sun-planet oppositions, we found it much more difficult to find common traits that might describe this aspect.

Natal Sun-Neptune oppositions in female charts

Though there were not enough data to find a lot, the following two characteristics jumped out.

On average, lots of women with a tight Sun-Neptune opposition in the natal chart experienced (a) traumatic childhood event(s) (Amanda Gene Dulmaine, Roswitha, Amelie Morelle, Rachel Esther Sylvia).

Chances are this aspect in a female chart increases the odds of being victimized (Bernadette Federici, Robin Kaplan, Luz del Fuego, Amelie Morelle)..

Natal Sun-Neptune oppositions in male charts

On average, men with a tight Sun-Neptune opposition tend to experience psychotic episodes (Gerard de Nerval, Richard Rosenthal, Sean Richard Sellers, Bernard Bettle).

They are often passionately involved in music (Mike Barson, Leon Boellmann, Roger Wagner, Paul Dukas, Peter Jr. Gay, Michael A. Welsh, Brendan Hogan, Mike Love, Stephen Pender).

A tight Sun-Neptune opposition in a male natal chart is often indicative of at least one lasting marriage (Lloyd Bridges, Jeff Hornacek, Gill Paquet, Micajah Speakman).

On average, men with such an aspect have at least one son (Richard Rosenthal, Carlo Petrini, Gill Paquet, Lloyd Bridges).

They are very religious/philosophical people (Carlo Maria Martini, Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo, Micajah Speakman, Pope Alexander VII).
