Neptune = Addiction? – Astro Butterfly

In astrology, addiction is usually Neptune and the 12th house.

Perhaps it’s because of the mysticism this archetype is associated with, such as fog, escape, longing, and externality.

But in reality, things are not so black and white. It’s more vague (that’s a Neptune pun, really).

Looking at the chart, people’s odds are Suffers from addiction with pronounced Neptune or 12th house influence It is no more expensive than other arrangements.

I wish it was this easy! But that’s not the case. A clear “addiction equation” Astrology tells you exactly where to look…and, in theory, how to look. Please heal me Isn’t it?

Addiction – a symptom of the longing for transcendence.

Neptune can certainly do that. Increases addictive tendencies and craving for escapebut not for the reasons we would expect.

That’s not Neptune cause addiction. Instead, Addiction is a symptom, a sign of something deeper – Something about Neptune Really represents.

According to Carl Jung,By the way, did you know that Alcoholics Anonymous and many recovery programs are inspired by Jung’s ideas? – Addiction is Quest for false transcendence.

People who are addicted have strong desires such as: connect with god – but they don’t know how to get there – so the addiction becomes serious shortcut to transcendence – How to instantly touch infinity.

It’s no coincidence that we use the same words spirit (like spirituality) and spirit (Like alcohol).

In our “Addiction” program, Neptune is one of the three main addictive pathway – Three symbolic routes that the mind follows in its search for transcendence.

Not just Neptune. The remaining two paths are Uranus and Pluto. Together these three outer planets Three core addiction patterns – Things that are often explained in neuroscience are: upper, downer, outer.

Addiction – Outer Planets

Why do outer planets qualify as addiction?

Unlike the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, the outer planets invisible to the naked eye. They are power of unconsciousness It’s what moves us. It is powerful, invisible, and inaccessible.

The outer planets symbolize what lies beyond our vision, forces that we cannot easily relate to, but that still shape us. It is the same as how distant planets continue to silently revolve around the sun, although we cannot see them.

The outer planets symbolize The urge to go beyond the everyday three-dimensional world – the realm symbolized by the visible planets up to Saturn – and reaching something beyond the known limits.

When an outer planet touches our personal planet, Drive to transcendence But we don’t always know how to access it in a conscious way.

For example, let’s say someone has a birth child. Sun/Uranus or moon and pluto Aspects include transformation and the pull towards higher consciousness. However, the influence of outer planets too intense, too distant, or too abstract So that the personal planet becomes fully integrated.

It’s like feeling a deep longing for something you can feel but can’t quite reach. This is because the basic psychological processes represented by the personal planets are not sufficiently mature or grounded to respond to the intensity of the outer planets’ call.

And this is often where addiction intervenes. shortcut or A quick “solution” It gives us a temporary glimpse of transcendence.

We all do this to some degree. Only about 10% of people develop clinical dependencewe all have addiction tendencywe all spiritual hunger The point is that today’s world and our own psychological defenses make it difficult to be satisfied in a healthy way.

And this is where it gets really interesting – and where astrology helps us the most: when we begin to understand Which addictive paths are we drawn to?and what it reveals About our own psyche and our longing for transcendence.

Addiction – Upper, Downer, Outer

In our model, Uranus represents path above Toward transcendence. addictive neurochemistry, which corresponds to the dopamine reward pathway – These are addictive substances or behaviors. It inspires us, excites us, keeps us “on.”

Pluto represents downward pathmatches. Opioid pathway – Drive to Soothe, release, and sink in.

and our friend Neptune represents outer path – escapist A form of transcendence. Dissolution, drift, or blurring of boundaries caused by fantasy, materiality, or avoidance. One of the three, but by no means the only one.

We each have our main addictive tendencies, but some tendencies may be more pronounced than others at different times and situations in our lives.

Uranus: When we feel unstimulated or bored, we tend to “go outside” in search of stimulation. In this state: path of uranusIt can range from an innocent morning cup of coffee that “wakes you up” to more intense expressions such as gambling or sex addiction.

anything you can do Something that energizes us, makes us feel alive, or reminds us that we still have agency..

Pluto: Rather, if we are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, inauthentic, or living a life that we know deep down is not really “us”; plutonic pathway becomes the go-to approach.

Pluto downward actions (think alcohol, sleeping pills, or emotional withdrawal) Shut out external noise This allows us to look inward and reconnect with what is truly important.

Pluto’s path is the opposite of Uranus – although both can be addictive, opposite reason.

Neptune: And if we feel, weight of lifeif you are overworked or mentally exhausted; Neptune’s path to escapism I often take over. Neptune’s gravitational pull is towards softening reality, numbing the sharp edges of existence.

This can take many forms. Netflix indulges in fantasy and romantic love – You’d be surprised (or maybe not) how often people “fall in love” when faced with something they don’t want to face.

But what’s really interesting about our addictive tendencies is that what they inform.

Addiction is not just a “problem to be solved.” Even if an addiction is “cured” through abstinence or abstinence, a new addiction often develops in its place. The urge to transcend, the spiritual hungerthere’s more.

Therefore, the goal is not to “cure” addiction without first understanding it. where did it come from and what does it refer to.

Because addiction is much more than just a “bad habit”; it’s our problem. Calling your higher self through distortionsays this. You want something beyond the ordinary. You want something more authentic and more in line with your true path.
