Avoid During Transit Neptune Sesquisquare Sun

• Don’t make big life decisions, like quitting your job or moving to a new city, unless you’re totally sure. Things might not be as clear as they seem.
• Avoid starting new romantic relationships- your judgment could be off and you might get swept up in fantasy instead of reality.
• Don’t loan large amounts of money or sign important financial contracts, because details can get confusing or things could be misrepresented.
• Try not to put a ton of trust in new people; deception or misunderstandings are more likely right now.
• Don’t ignore your need for rest and mental downtime. Overworking or pushing through exhaustion can lead to burnout or feeling spaced out.
• Avoid using substances (like alcohol or recreational drugs) to escape stress; you’re extra sensitive to their effects during this time.
• Don’t sweep problems under the rug or avoid reality, no matter how tempting it feels to escape tough stuff.
• Try not to get sucked into unrealistic dreams or goals; keep your feet on the ground and don’t chase illusions.
• Don’t neglect your intuition- if something feels off, listen to that inner voice, even if you can’t explain it logically.
• Don’t beat yourself up if you feel unsure or lost; it’s a confusing transit and it’s okay to take a little break from the spotlight.

To Do During Transit Neptune Sesquisquare Sun

• Take time to reflect on your dreams and what inspires you. This transit is great for connecting with your imagination.
• Let go of unrealistic expectations you’ve set for yourself. It’s a good opportunity to release what’s not practical or true anymore.
• Explore spiritual practices, like meditation, yoga, or spending quiet moments in nature.
• Write, paint, make music, or try any other creative activity. Neptune energy loves anything artistic.
• Double-check facts before making big decisions- sometimes things seem foggier than they are with this transit.
• Practice self-care and give yourself permission to rest. Don’t push too hard; Neptune asks for gentleness.
• Pay attention to your dreams at night- they might bring useful messages right now.
• Volunteer or help others if you feel drawn to it. Acts of kindness feel especially meaningful under Neptune’s influence.
• Accept that you might feel a bit tired or low-energy, and that’s okay. Just go with the flow as much as possible.
• Stay open to inspiration and serendipity- sometimes the best ideas come out of nowhere when Neptune’s involved!

What’s Interesting About Transit Neptune Sesquisquare Sun?

• Confusion of Self and Identity: According to Charles E. O. Carter in “The Astrological Aspects” (1930), the sesquisquare from Neptune to the Sun can show up as “a subtle but persistent clouding of personal aims,” where your core identity feels misty or hard to define. This could make you second-guess your sense of self and struggle with personal boundaries.
• Strange and Elusive Physical Symptoms: French astrologer André Barbault wrote in “Traité Pratique d’Astrologie” (1949) that with Neptune in hard aspect to the Sun- including minor ones like the sesquisquare- “the native may encounter obscure nervous complaints or vague physical symptoms untraceable to a clear cause,” especially during times of emotional stress.
• Susceptibility to Charms and Deceptions: In “Astrological Essays” (1943), Alan Leo mentions that Neptune’s lesser squares to the Sun may provoke “a readiness to believe in unworthy or illusory persons, and susceptibility to subtle persuasions,” where you might find yourself enchanted or misled by people who don’t have your best interest at heart.
• Hidden Artistic Yearnings Awakening: Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson describes in “Here and There in Astrology” (1961) that this aspect may unleash a “long-dormant artistic drive, often expressed in unusual ways or through dream-life and fantasy rather than through public achievements.”
• Peculiar Losses of Vitality: Llewellyn George, in “A-Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator” (1910), points out that minor Neptune afflictions to the Sun “bring sudden and mysterious sapping of your energy,” possibly leading you to feel drained without a clear explanation as to why.
• Risk of Discredited Reputation Through Association: Sepharial (Walter Gorn Old) in his “Manual of Astrology” (1920), writes that “Neptune’s hard minor rays to the Sun call into question one’s alliances, gifting a tendency to association with dubious individuals which, if left unchecked, endangers the native’s repute.”
• Magnetism to the Unseen: In “The Combination of Stellar Influences” (1940), Reinhold Ebertin notes that challenging Sun-Neptune contacts such as the sesquisquare can make a person “peculiarly receptive to psychic impressions, sometimes producing bizarre fancies or contact with invisible realms, often without immediate conscious awareness.”
• Occult Disillusionment: C.E.O. Carter also writes in “The Astrological Aspects” that the Neptunian sesquisquare to the Sun can indicate “episodic disenchantment with mystical or spiritual groups,” leading some people to question beliefs they once held dear, sometimes after a single disappointing event.
• Inventive Escapism: Margaret E. Hone in “The Modern Text-Book of Astrology” (1951) observes that this transit sometimes reveals itself through “odd forms of escapism, including inventing elaborate excuses to avoid direct confrontation or drifting into odd, impractical hobbies.”
• Allure of ‘Lost Causes’: Isabelle M. Pagan, in “From Pioneer to Poet: Life and Work of a Woman Astronomer” (1911), notes that Neptune’s hard aspects, even minor ones, “may stimulate a misplaced loyalty to failed ideals or lost causes, where the heart leads but clarity is lacking.”

Experiencing Transit Neptune Sesquisquare Sun

When Neptune makes a sesquisquare (135° aspect) to your natal Sun, things can get a little weird or slippery in your life. It’s like trying to walk through fog- nothing’s quite as clear as you’d like it to be, and you might feel lost or just kind of out of it sometimes. This isn’t the most obvious or dramatic Neptune aspect, but it’s sneaky and tends to work quietly in the background.

You might notice you’re extra dreamy, sensitive, or even confused about what you want out of life. The Sun is your sense of self and purpose, and Neptune tends to dissolve hard edges. So, you could feel sort of fuzzy about your identity, or find that your usual sense of confidence is a little watered down. Sometimes, you might even wonder if you’re just falling for your own illusions, or if others are being dishonest with you.

Challenges during Transit Neptune Sesquisquare Sun

• Self-Doubt and Confusion: You might wake up feeling less sure of yourself or start doubting decisions you’ve already made. It’s easy to second-guess your direction, your talents, or your place in the world.
• Escapism: There’s a pull to check out- watching endless TV, sleeping too much, scrolling on your phone, or even turning to more unhealthy escapes like drinking or other substances.
• Over-Idealizing Others: You could find yourself putting people (friends, romantic partners, even celebrities) on pedestals, only to feel let down later when they don’t live up to your fantasies.
• Getting Misled: It’s easier now for people to pull the wool over your eyes, or for you to misunderstand someone’s motives. Make sure you double-check what you’re being told, especially with work, contracts, or promises.
• Feeling Invisible: Sometimes Neptune just makes people feel like they’re not being seen, no matter what they do. You might feel passed over at work, or like your opinions just don’t seem to matter.

Opportunities during Transit Neptune Sesquisquare Sun

• Big Creative Boost: Even though focus might be tough, this aspect can give you a flood of imagination. It’s awesome for art, writing, music, or just dreaming up new solutions to old problems.
• Spiritual Growth: If you’re into meditation, spirituality, or just want to try being more present, this transit can help you tune in to parts of yourself you don’t normally notice.
• Learning Compassion: Neptune softens the edges between you and others, so you can really walk in someone else’s shoes. It’s a great time to volunteer or just be there for people who need it.
• Escaping Old Patterns: Sometimes things dissolve so you can rebuild. If you’ve been hanging onto something (like an old identity, job, relationship, or way of thinking) that doesn’t really work for you, Neptune can help you let go and drift towards something new.
• Increased Intuition: Gut feelings, dreams, and synchronicities can get stronger. Pay attention- they might give you messages you need, even if they’re confusing at first.
