So, I was messing around with this whole astrology thing, trying to figure out how it all fits together. I stumbled upon something kinda interesting about Neptune and Jupiter, and I thought, why not share my little journey with you guys?
I started by looking at the planets and the signs they supposedly rule. You know, the usual stuff. Then I got to Neptune, which is said to rule Pisces. But here’s where it got a bit confusing for me. I always thought Jupiter was the big boss of Pisces. So, what’s the deal? Is it Neptune, or is it Jupiter? Or is it both?
I did some digging, kinda like a detective, but with less cool hats. I found out that a while back, before they even discovered Neptune, Jupiter was considered the ruler of Pisces. Makes sense, right? Jupiter is all about expansion, beliefs, and higher learning, which kinda fits with the dreamy, spiritual vibe of Pisces.

- Dive into the planets: Started by checking out which planet rules which sign.
- Neptune and Jupiter confusion: Got puzzled about who really rules Pisces.
- Jupiter’s traditional role: Learned that Jupiter used to be the ruler of Pisces before Neptune was discovered.
Then, they spotted Neptune way out there in space. Since they had already assigned the signs to the planets they knew, and since Uranus comes after Saturn in space, they gave it Saturn’s second sign, Aquarius. So when they discovered Neptune, they were like, “Oh, another planet! Let’s give it Pisces, since it kinda fits with the water theme.” So, Neptune became the new ruler of Pisces, and Jupiter was like, “Okay, I’ll just chill here too.”
It’s like when a new kid comes to school, and the teacher has to rearrange the seating chart. Jupiter was sitting comfortably in the Pisces seat, and then Neptune showed up, and they had to make room. Now they both kinda share the seat, but Neptune is officially in charge. I guess.
My Experiment
To see this in action, I started paying more attention to people’s charts, especially those with strong Pisces or Neptune placements. I looked at their personalities, their quirks, and tried to see if I could spot the Jupiter or Neptune influence.
Honestly, it wasn’t like a lightbulb moment where everything suddenly made sense. It was more like gradually noticing patterns. People with a lot of Pisces energy seemed to have this dreamy, intuitive side, which I guess you could say is Neptune. But they also had this optimistic, go-with-the-flow attitude that felt very Jupiter-like. Or maybe they were both working there. You can never be too sure.
So, what’s the conclusion? I’m not sure there’s a clear-cut answer. It seems like both Neptune and Jupiter have a say in the Pisces realm. Maybe Neptune sets the overall tone, the mystical, watery vibe, while Jupiter adds a dash of expansion and belief.

In the end, it’s all pretty fascinating, even if it’s a bit messy. And that’s why I wanted to share this little adventure with you. Maybe it’ll spark your own curiosity, and you’ll start your own astrological investigation. Who knows what you’ll discover? Astrology is a deep ocean, and we’re all just wading in the shallows, trying to make sense of the waves. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? So next time you are staring at your birth chart, keep your eyes on the Jupiter and Neptune. They may have a story to tell, if you care to listen.
