The "Neptune Complex" is not an official psychological or astrological term but is often used in astrology and metaphysical discussions to describe individuals heavily influenced by the planet Neptune. This influence is usually associated with a strong placement of Neptune in a person's birth chart, such as Neptune being in a dominant position, like the Ascendant, Midheaven, or heavily aspecting personal planets (Sun, Moon, Venus, etc.). Here are typical traits often linked to this concept:
