Sun trine Neptune is a wonderfully glamorous, charismatic, musical, poetic and highly imaginative combination. But it seems it comes with a price. It appears it can also be tinged with tragedy. Because the trine goes with the flow, with Neptune it can make one easily suggestible. The willpower is easily swayed by smoke and mirrors with this aspect. This makes it hard for Sun trine Neptune to resist drugs, alcohol and escapism. Once hooked they could find it far more difficult to quit than the harder aspect would. They need to worship the father even if he is an abusive alcoholic or disappointing and distant. The foggy mist blurs out the ugly truth and a fantasy is created around him. All is well if Sun trine Neptune keeps the right company. This would work exceptionally well on a spiritual path and in service to humanity as a whole.
Sun Trine Neptune Celebrities
Princess Diana’s (61′) life was so Neptunian it hurts. The fairy tail wedding, the glamor, the charity work, her empathy with the sick and dying, her own health problems with bulimia, her hypersensitivity, her consulting of Psychics and Astrologers. Then to cap it all her mysterious death! Another glamorous blonde Jessica Savitch (91′) a US News reporter gifted infront of the TV camera, she had a melodramatic life, an abortion & miscarriage, anorexia, two divorces and an addiction to cocaine and speed. She drowned when she drove her car into a canal mistaking it for a road. Bret Easton Ellis (21′) controversial author of the graphically violent American Psycho initially withdrawn for being misogynistic. He immortalized his difficult, alcoholic father in a book. Typically Neptune ambiguous about his sexual persuasion he also states “I’m a weird person. I’m not normal. Do you think the guy who wrote these books, do you think that’s, like, conducive to normal behavior?”
Doris Day (05′) was loved as everybody’s “favorite virgin” and for her romantic comedies. Actress, model and fashion designer Anita Pallenberg (13′) was more famed for her affairs with the various Rolling Stones. The drugs obviously made her paranoid and she was obsessed with black magic, wearing a string of garlic with her everywhere to ward off vampires. Natalie Cole (29′) had the archetypal drug abuse scenario also, to accompany her magical voice. Some technical wizardry made it possible for her to duet with her fantasy father Nat King Cole, on Neptunian film, many years after his death.

Thanks so much for this post! I have Sun in a wide trine with Neptune (Sun at 4 Cancer, Neptune at 11). This post goes wider than Sun trine Neptune – I wanted to comment because Neptune plays such a prominent part in my health, my working life and my love life.
Neptune also trines, much more closely, Jupiter and Chiron at 12 and 10 Pisces respectively. There are strong healing signals there. I’ve never had a “public” life, unless you count being a receptionist in a family centre, and can honestly count on the fingers of one hand the times I’ve drunk to excess. I can sense the allure of alcohol as a blotter-out of troubles. There’s just something – probably the tight square from Neptune to Saturn – that says “whoah – don’t go there”. It also gives me ghastly heartburn so I just don’t touch wine any more, for example.
I do find myself attracted to souls who are battling such demons, or who are confused about their identity or place in the world. Or very often both. One of the great loves of my life has a much tighter (2 degree) Sun trine Neptune. I gravitate too – and attract – Neptunian souls. That would be the tight square from Venus to Neptune. I tend to “hero worship” people and have a great love of the golden age of movies when Neptune was in Leo.
With Neptune squaring my Nodal axis, within a degree, I have clearly come into this life needing to learn how to manage Neptune’s energies appropriately. I didn’t “do Neptune” properly in past lives. With Neptune in my 6th house, I’m very much a sponge particularly in the workplace for any energies floating around. And I have had the archetypal “mystery illness” which took several years to diagnose and treat. On the positive side, it gives me the compassion and empathy I need for the job I do, and has attracted several very Neptunian “mentors” and life guides – a sound healer, a reiki practitioner, and a wise and gentle Piscean friend. I’m also attuned to reiki myself.
Do please forgive me for going off track from Sun trine Neptune and hope these thoughts are valuable!
@Jan
They are VERY valuable. Thank you! That’s what these comments sections are for. You are a great example of one using Neptune at it’s higher vibration. Neptunian’s, of all people, absolutely cannot handle alcohol/drugs which is the biggest irony.
Beautiful Jan

A great description of my Neptune’s trine with the sun (he trines mercury too!) in Cancer in the 5th. Neptune Rx in the 9th in Scorpion, the ruler of my Asc. Neptune is my planet!!! The quest for the dreamming father! Or the invisible father!
I was a jesuit for many years, so I woke up of my ilusion by the transit of Uranus. Now I’m dealing with the square of Neptune to my Natal Neptune and the opposition of Uranus to my Natal Uranus.
I wanna know more about the situation of Neptune Rx ruling the Asc.
As long as I’ve studied astrology, this is the first time I realized I have this aspect (along with Mars conjunct Neptune in Libra) in the 4th. All your descriptions fit me. Addictive personality, hypersensitivity, attracting Neptunian types (who were drug addicts and a terrible influence on me)but also an attraction to Hypnotism, and other mystical arts. Yes, a father complex, and tendency to idealize men I am attracted to. But what is Jupiter trine Neptune? that aspect is much tighter than the Sun/Neptune.
This is very true for me and it doesnt help with both Venus and Mars in Pisces. Im very impressionable, I always love escaping into fantasies, take a break, escape this cruel world, either through music or through time alone. Thats how i fully recharge my energies. I am very sensitive to beauty in many ways, either through nature, a painting, a piece of music, a moment in time, a memory, whatever it be. But i do feel this aspect has a lot of tradgedy because the native is not so sure of their own identity maybe or theyre not strong enough and they are timid, it can get them into problems.
