The Wandering Stars
Neptune
The deep fog, dissolver of edges, sea without a farther shore.
Neptune was discovered in 1846, found by mathematics before it was seen. Modern astrology reads it as the principle of dissolution, dream, and longing for the boundless, at its best in vision and compassion, at its worst in illusion and escape. Like Uranus it moves generationally, marking eras as much as individuals.
