Neptune expresses its mysterious self in dreams, art and imagination. It is closely related to what "ism" the art scene of the time is into, and in what directions people's daydreams prefer to wander.
It takes Neptune 164 years to complete the Zodiac, and its orbit being almost circular, it stays about 14 years in each sign. Of those, Neptune is said to rule Pisces, the sign of longing and wishing, and is the only planet to practically exalt in the Twelfth House, that of things suppressed and contained within.
It was discovered in 1846, so its effects have increased and become more noticeable from that date, as have the art "isms" being its main indications.
