Neptune Transits
A Neptune transit cannot diagnose deception, addiction, spiritual awakening, or impaired judgment. Scope is explicit.
Overview
Neptune is 0°30′ from natal Mercury; ambiguity and imagination are both retained. This is the worked result for Neptune Transits; it remains conditional and does not turn geometry or timing into a verdict. The comparison method is explicit: Use tight declared orbs, enumerate direct and retrograde exactitudes, verify birth-time-sensitive targets, and attach real-world evidence to every interpretation.

Definition and exact scope
Neptune transits move through an approximately 165-year cycle, making sign placement broadly generational and exact natal contacts comparatively rare.
Calculation or decision rule
Use tight declared orbs, enumerate direct and retrograde exactitudes, verify birth-time-sensitive targets, and attach real-world evidence to every interpretation. The receipt retains the chosen input record, reference frame, tolerance, and version, then identifies the first step where an independent recalculation diverges.
