Avoid During Transit Neptune Sextile Sun
- Don’t ignore your boundaries. It’s easy to get swept up in dreamy ideas or people that might not respect your limits.
- Don’t trust everything at face value. Neptune can make things seem a little foggy, so double-check facts and don’t fall for sweet talk or promises that sound too good to be true.
- Avoid saying yes to every request. You might feel extra compassionate or eager to help, but you can’t save everyone- don’t overcommit yourself.
- Try not to escape reality through unhealthy habits, like overindulging in substances, binge-watching, or zoning out online.
- Don’t take on big financial risks or make major investments without thinking them through. Get a second opinion if needed.
- Avoid avoiding problems! Don’t sweep issues under the rug just because you’re hoping they’ll disappear on their own.
- Be careful with new relationships- don’t idealize someone new or put them on a pedestal before you really know them.
- Don’t neglect your health. Mind-body balance can get blurry, so stick to routines and don’t ignore any weird symptoms.
- Don’t get discouraged if you feel more tired or spaced out than usual. Pace yourself and give yourself breaks.
- Try not to compare your journey or creativity to others- you’ve got your own shimmer. Trust it!
To Do During Transit Neptune Sextile Sun

What’s Interesting About Transit Neptune Sextile Sun?
- Blandness Turns to Magnetism: Old astrology writers like Vivian Robson (in A Student’s Text-Book of Astrology, 1922) noted that Neptune sextile the Sun could awaken a “latent gift for gentle persuasion” in people who aren’t usually outgoing. Instead of fiery confidence, you might find you’re getting attention in soft, even mystical ways- people are drawn to you and may not know why.
- Dreams as Warnings (or Clues): Sepharial, in The Astrology of Fate (1910), talked about this transit sending “symbolic dreams” that aren’t just pretty but have warnings or hints about the future, especially connected to your friendships or public reputation. He said, “Attend carefully to dreams of water and veiled faces during this season.”
- Musical Awakenings: Alan Leo (Practical Astrology, 1908) wrote that when Neptune touches the Sun with a sextile, people who never cared much about music could suddenly find themselves obsessed with a new instrument or genre. He also suggested odd “musical coincidences” might lead to real friendships or partnerships.
- Victorian Sensitivity Surge: E.H. Bailey, in The Influence of the Planets (1898), noted that you might get “a hypersensitivity to perfumes, colored glass, and the occult arts,” and that odd cravings for certain colors could pop up. It’s about tuning into weird, subtle vibes you’d usually shrug off.
- Peculiar Help from Strangers: In Charles Carter’s Astrological Aspects (1930), he described this as a time when “unexpectedly, unasked favors are bestowed by virtual strangers, yet always in some creative or spiritual connection.” You might be handed an opportunity by someone you hardly know, just when you need it.
- “Fading of Shadows” in Personal Life: Margaret Hone in The Modern Text Book of Astrology (1951) noticed this aspect can temporarily “dissolve” old suspicions, grudges, or misunderstandings- especially in families or love relationships. Things you thought were big problems might just melt away, though you might never know exactly why.
- Strange Artistic Inspiration: Luna Z. Innes (Neptune’s Mantle, 1936) wrote that this transit sometimes triggers weird, long-buried childhood memories that suddenly want to become poems, drawings, or stories. The stuff that pops up now might not make sense, but it’ll feel really meaningful.
- “Ghostly” Self-Improvement: Marc Edmund Jones, in Astrology: How and Why It Works (1942), called Neptune-Sun sextile a “phantom coach”- meaning guidance seems to come from nowhere, pushing you toward self-improvement you hadn’t planned. Little habits or routines just stick now, almost like you’re being guided from behind the scenes.

- Being Too Trusting: Since you’re more open-hearted, you could believe people too quickly, or get caught up in someone else’s dreamy ideas that aren’t totally realistic.
- Escapism: It’s easy to want to escape boring reality- maybe by binge-watching shows, sleeping more, or just avoiding stuff you don’t want to face.
