What do you think of this? Capricorn in Neptune?!
Question: I know, this is would be a very practical and unimaginative individual. capricorn being notorious for its practicality, and emotionally cold character, is in the planet Neptune.. the goddess of fantasy, creativeness, and spirituality.
this placement joins fantasy with reality. which is not good at all since neptune cant find any creativity and imagination in Capricorn.
but heres the twist, a Capricorn sun.
and the Sun is conjunct to Neptune. this is where it gets interesting, anything that Neptune connects with gives it a a higher sense of purpose, imaginativeness, and a greater feeling of existence.
practical magic? dreams turn to reality? or broken imagination.

It is nor Capricorn in Neptune but Neptune in Capricorn.
The planet Neptune stays in each sign for approximately 14 years. It was in Capricorn from 1984 through 1998. To understand what that means we have to see what Neptune does.
Neptune on an individual level is a person's dreams. On the high side Neptune is a great musician, poet, or compassionate religious leader -- at its worst, Neptune is skid row or a con man with his hype. Neptunians are only vaguely aware of the physical plane.
What was Neptune doing in Capricorn?
Some prior Neptune in Capricorn periods were 1494-1508, 1658-1672, and 1821-1835. Some of the greatest art work of the Italian Renaissance was created during the period 1494-1508 including the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. The 1658-1672 period brought the restoration of the British monarchy and the somewhat riotous behaviour which set in as a reaction to the Puritan clampdown of Oliver Cromwell. During this time Paradise Lost was written and the great Flemish painters such as Vermeer and Rembrandt did much of their best works.
Finally, the 1821-1835 period was the period of the younger and less conservative Romantics. Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Goethe's Faust was written in this time. Much of this period was a reaction to the spread of Napolean across Europe, although the independence of nations broke down much of the heavy reactionism that initially occurred.
These historical effects point up the two basic interactions of a planet in a sign. Capricornian entities are dissolved by Neptune, the planet acting on the sign, and Neptune becomes more Capricornian, the sign acting on the planet.
Capricorn, with its independence, loneliness, and patient conservatism is the complement of Sagittarius. Looking through the last three periods when Neptune was in Capricorn we see that these were periods of political and social reaction to unsettling situations -- these unsettling situations were often created during the prior Neptune in Sagittarius period. New forms of government coalesced in these times. People tried to rebuild the structure or create a new one. Strikingly, these were periods of great artistic achievement in many cases, perhaps because artists were willing to spend the time and effort to create a masterpiece.
On the more personal level, Capricorn is the sign of the mountain goat: a sure-footed, patient animal that climbs treacherous mountain sides yet never looses its footing. Capricorn is the long years of work necessary to carve out a career while constantly remaining aware of the slip that can end a career as well. The Capricornian questions whether a person can be trusted, what their prior accomplishments are, where are their references. Capricorn is ascetic -- you should carry the minimum on a rock climbing expedition. However, Capricorn can also be a witty, sly, humorous old geezer -- Capricorns who are very conservative in youth often become quite risque in old age.
Therefore, Neptune in Capricorn has a yuppie flavor. Neptune in this sign is hard, long, patient work on your dreams, as well as the dream of advancing through such effort to a higher position within the social and political structure.
At times Neptune in Capricorn can feel like you are swimming in a sea of moralistic, nose-to-the-grindstone puritanism. You must be productive at all times. You must not enjoy yourself too much (that would be counter productive) and you must never, ever be counterproductive! If Capricorn had its way (the moralistic side), everyone would be quiet, meditative, hard-working, and spartan. No one would have fun. The Capricorn ant knows that the pleasure-seeking grasshopper is being foolish. And, after all, fun can be such hard work. Why bother having fun. It is no coincidence that during Neptune in Capricorn the moralistic forms of religion have taken off.
The ultimate dream is to create a successful business with Neptune in Capricorn.
