Last Tuesday I spilled coffee all over my star charts notebook, which sucked because I was right in the middle of tracking Neptune patterns. That mess actually got me thinking – I should start writing this stuff down online before I ruin more notes. So grab a drink, let me walk you through how I figured out this Neptune in Capricorn thing step by step.

First step: total confusion phase

Started like every other astrology rabbit hole – with messy Google searches. Typed “what does Neptune in Capricorn mean” at 2am wearing pizza-stained pajamas. Found twelve different sites saying twelve different things. Some said “generational trauma healing”, others yelled “financial collapse warning”. My eyes glazed over like donuts. Couldn’t make sense of any of it.

The actual doing part

Dug out my grandfather’s fishing ledger from 1989 – not joking, this dusty green notebook became my testing ground. Here’s exactly what I did:

• Marked important dates: Scribbled Neptune’s Capricorn entry in 1989 and exit in 2025
• Personal tracking: Every night for 3 months I jotted down: what made me anxious, weird dreams, sudden impulses to change passwords
• World events: Printed news headlines during major Neptune aspects – taped them next to my mood notes
• Fake tests: Told my bowling group I was quitting to become an alpaca farmer to see reactions

The forehead-slapping moment

After spilling soy sauce all over my papers (I eat takeout while researching), patterns finally jumped out:

• Mass delusions: Every hard Neptune aspect lined up with “get rich quick” crazes – saw Bitcoin mania, meme stock madness
• Institutional gaslighting: Noticed governments/corporations pushing sketchy narratives during Neptune transits
• My own crap: Realized I kept applying for “stable” jobs that made me miserable while Neptune transited my career house

Conclusion for newbies

Here’s the distilled version from my coffee-stained notes:

• Forget “manifesting” bs: Neptune in Capricorn exposes SYSTEMS not vibes – watch where authorities lie
• Practical magic: Use this energy to uncover pension scams or why your boss denies raises every February
• Personal tip: When Neptune hits your chart, document everything – receipts matter when reality gets slippery

Found my own game changing trick: compare your Netflix recommendations during these transits – mine kept suggesting Ocean’s Eleven and Bernie Madoff docs back to back. Coincidence? Neptune says nope. Go make your own damn notes.
