Neptune governs what inspires you and where you're easily deceived. It's about illusion, confusion, imagination, and creativity.Neptune can be illusive and hard to tie down.

Neptune governs addictions – drugs, alcohol, food, etc.
If Neptune was retrograde when you were born, you may have a tendency to escape from reality.
If Neptune was stationary when you were born, you may be quite artistic, but not very realistic.
