From 1984 to 1998... Dissolving barriers and devising one’s path.
Neptune in Capricorn was a positioning that brought more disorder and illusion to the concept of inner and outer structures and limits. People wanted to live in an organized society, up to their own standards. They had their own ideas of how to achieve this. However, the last time Neptune transited Capricorn, from 1984 to 1998, there was the experience of little chaos.
The fanfare of global warming, the possibility of scarcity of natural resources, and economic instability, besides all the wars, hunger, and poverty that were reported during this period, made people foresee only a bleak future ahead of them. Historically, great powers and structures have collapsed under the influence of Neptune in Capricorn, such as the end of the Iron Curtain, the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall, among other events. In 1990, Uranus entered the scene along with Neptune, making a conjunction that only occurs roughly every 172 years.
People born during this positioning of Neptune tended to question family structures, behaviors, fashions, and patterns, bringing them into their own ways of idealization. Criticism and questioning extend to all sectors of society, and people born under this Neptune transit did not deal well with values quite different from their own.
The family was another point of support. While it could be challenging to gain their trust and win them over, when they found their ideal standard, they often compromised. Work was important to them, as it brought the structured routine that was so greatly appreciated by this sign. They are generally more confident people who always want to raise the bar in their careers.
But not everything is perfect. Neptunian cloudiness can soften Capricorn’s drive for effort, achievement, and resilience, creating a lack of stimulation and an easier time giving up on life’s difficulties and hardships. It can make people cherish and envision success but get confused about how best to get there. They dream of power, but the reality of life can make their sleep very light at night.
Neptune tends to dissolve Capricorn’s hierarchical militarism, causing a dense fog that can make the top seem closer and more accessible to reach than it is.
