Neptune's sign is shared by everyone born across a decade and a half; the house is what makes it personal. Set in the first, it softens the body and the manner of arriving. The native has no firm edge. People form strong impressions of them and no two impressions agree, since each observer has completed the outline with whatever they brought. Photographs rarely look like the same person twice.
The receptivity is extreme and largely involuntary. The native takes on the mood, the accent, and eventually the opinions of whoever they have spent the afternoon with, and does not notice the borrowing until they are alone again. Such people are natural performers and natural mimics. There is something in the appearance — a vagueness about the eyes, a lack of definition in the manner — that invites others to project onto them, and others do.
The cost is a self without a border. The native cannot say where they end and the room begins, and long exposure to demanding company leaves them genuinely depleted rather than merely tired. Alcohol and its equivalents are a specific hazard, since the placement is already in the condition those substances produce. And a person this easily reshaped can reach forty without ever having found out what they would have been if left alone.
