Dreams expanded.
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Neptune Conjunct Jupiter transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t make big promises you can’t keep- Neptune can make you overestimate what’s possible.
- Avoid risky investments or gambling- it’s easy to get swept up in unrealistic dreams during this time.
- Don’t blindly trust people or offers that sound too good to be true- deception or confusion is more likely now.
- Try not to escape problems with substances like alcohol or drugs- Neptune can blur boundaries and make it hard to see reality clearly.
- Don’t ignore important details, especially when signing contracts or making major decisions.
- Avoid being overly generous or lending large sums of money- you might not see things (or people) as they really are.
- Try not to take on too many projects or say “yes” to everything- overcommitting is common under this influence.
- Don’t chase after fantasies or grand spiritual ideas without grounding them in reality- it’s easy to get lost in idealism right now.
Do During This Transit
- Dream big – your imagination’s super charged now, so set your sights on what you truly want.
- Start a creative project – art, music, writing, or anything where you can let your creativity flow.
- Explore spirituality – meditate, try yoga, get into astrology, or check out any practice that connects you to something bigger.
- Reach out to help others – volunteering or supporting a cause can feel especially rewarding now.
- Travel, especially to inspiring or spiritual places – if you can, go somewhere that expands your worldview.
- Learn about different beliefs or cultures – your mind’s open, and you’ll get a lot out of new perspectives.
- Practice gratitude and generosity – Neptune expands your sense of compassion, making this a great time to give.
- Listen to your intuition – trust your gut feelings, they’re stronger under this transit.
- Let go of old limits – this is a great moment to work through and release beliefs that are holding you back.
- Keep a journal – write down your dreams, hopes, or any wild ideas that pop up. You’ll want to look back on them later.
What’s Interesting About This Transit
- Dreams of Utopia: According to Leo in The Art of Synthesis (1912), Neptune conjunct Jupiter can bring a “longing for never-never lands” and a belief in the possible realization of utopian societies. This isn’t just wishful thinking, but a period when people might actively try to join or create idealistic groups.
- Lack of Practical Judgment: C.E.O. Carter, in The Astrology of Accidents (1932), points out these transits can make people “credulous, and apt to believe in the impracticable or misleading.” So, you might put too much faith in questionable spiritual claims or risky financial plans.
- Philanthropic Frustrations: In Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson’s Here and There in Astrology (1961), she mentions that this transit may lead people to “grandiose plans for the welfare of all” that often get tangled up in confusion, delays, or even deception by others. Helping the world isn’t as easy as it seems now!
- Mystical Wanderlust: Grant Lewi in Astrology for the Millions (1940) talks about this transit making folks want to travel “not to see but to feel.” You’re pulled towards distant places hoping for spiritual revelation, but reality can fall short of what you imagine.
- Questionable Guru Syndrome: Marc Edmund Jones wrote in Astrology: How and Why it Works (1945) that under this influence, people are more likely to get swept up by cults or charismatic leaders, sometimes putting too much trust where it isn’t warranted.
- Mass Delusions: In Charles Carter’s Encyclopaedia of Psychological Astrology (1924), he says this transit is often present at times of “mass social hallucinations,” meaning weirdly popular beliefs or fads can boom even if they don’t hold up to scrutiny.
- Unrealistic Generosity: Isabel Hickey, in her classic Astrology: A Cosmic Science (1970), warns that people may become “generous to a fault,” giving away money, time, or resources with little common sense or boundaries (sometimes getting taken advantage of).
- Peculiar Spiritual Experiences: Sepharial in The Manual of Astrology (1898) links Neptune conjunct Jupiter to “an influx of uncanny impressions and visions” that may inspire or confuse, often leading to stories of odd omens or prophetic dreams.
- Escaping Material Concerns: A.J. Pearce in Text Book of Astrology (1911) believes this transit can produce a temporary “indifference to material gains,” making a person seem less invested in money or possessions, sometimes to their own detriment.
- Legal and Religious Mix-Ups: Max Heindel in The Message of the Stars (1918) says this alignment can cause “confused dealings with the law or organized religion,” where big, hopeful ideas get lost in bureaucracy or misunderstood intentions.
Experiencing This Transit
When Neptune moves over your natal Jupiter, it’s like the universe is stretching your imagination- and sometimes your reality. Jupiter likes growth, adventure, and meaning, while Neptune’s all about dreams, fantasy, spirituality, and sometimes confusion. Put them together and things get big, but also kind of fuzzy. You might feel yourself wanting more: more connection, more meaning, more escape, or even more faith. Sometimes you’re super inspired; other times, you might lose your way a little. You could find yourself asking big questions- “What’s my purpose?”- or dreaming up wild plans that feel possible… but might not actually be so solid.
You’re a little more open than usual, and sometimes that means the world feels magical. Other times it’s just overwhelming. Trust your intuition, but double-check the facts!
Challenges During This Transit
- Over-idealism: It’s super easy to get swept up in big dreams or promises- jobs, spiritual groups, romances, or business ideas can all seem way shinier than they really are. Sometimes you’ll want to believe something so much, you ignore the cracks.
- Escapism: This is a classic “run away from reality” transit. Avoiding responsibilities by binge-watching, daydreaming, drinking, or even disappearing into spiritual practices can become tempting. You’ll need to keep an eye on any patterns of tuning out instead of facing stuff.
- Gullibility: People might take advantage of your good-hearted nature, or you might get carried away with someone else’s vision. There’s a risk of falling for scams, get-rich-quick schemes, or buying things that never deliver what they promise.
- Confused Beliefs: You may feel lost about what you believe in- for some people, old religious or philosophical ideas just don’t seem to work anymore. This can be disorienting but also a chance to discover deeper truths.
Opportunities During This Transit
- Spiritual Growth: If you’ve ever wanted to learn meditation, explore your spiritual side, or just get in touch with something bigger than yourself, this is prime time. Dreams can get way more vivid (sometimes even prophetic!), and you’re likely to feel more connected to the world around you.
- Creativity Boost: Artists, musicians, writers, and anyone in a creative field might find their imagination just explodes. You’ll have easier access to inspiration- to the point where art feels like channeling.
- Generosity: You’re in the mood to help others- sometimes in big ways. Charity work, volunteering, or just being a good friend can feel hugely rewarding. Just make sure people (and you!) aren’t taking things too far.
- Big, Beautiful Visions: It’s a great time to dream up new goals- especially ones that help other people, or that grow your understanding of life. Start a spiritual group, record music, write poetry, plan a retreat, or travel somewhere you’ve always dreamed of.
- Letting Go of Limits: Sometimes this transit helps you ditch old fears or ideas that kept you stuck. If you’re willing to ride the wave (and keep at least one foot on the ground), you might surprise yourself with how much you can grow.
