Dreamy confusion shakes up your usual way of doing things.
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Neptune Sesquisquare Uranus transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t make big life decisions on a whim- this transit can make your judgment a little fuzzy and unpredictable.
- Avoid starting risky or experimental projects, especially if you haven’t thought them through. Things might feel confusing now.
- Try not to rebel against authority just for the sake of it. It might feel good in the moment, but it could backfire.
- Stay away from people who encourage reckless behavior- peer pressure feels stronger now, and it’s easier to get swept up in wild ideas.
- Don’t ignore your intuition if something seems off. It’s easy to get caught up in excitement and miss red flags during this transit.
- Avoid escapism through unhealthy habits like binge drinking, substance use, or overindulgence online. Neptune and Uranus together can stir up a need to escape reality.
- Don’t commit to alternative spiritual paths or groups impulsively- there’s a chance things aren’t as they seem.
- Resist the urge to suddenly cut ties with friends or quit your job unless you’re absolutely sure. Wait for the fog to clear!
- Try not to overcomplicate things or get too lost in conspiracy theories or far-out ideas. Reality checks are extra important now.
- Avoid making technology purchases or big investments- gadgets and innovations might seem exciting, but you could regret your choices later.
Do During This Transit
- Stay open to surprises- life might throw you some curveballs, so try to go with the flow instead of fighting changes.
- Explore your creativity, especially in unusual ways. Try art, music, or writing projects that feel weird or different.
- Pay attention to your dreams and intuition. Jot down any wild ideas or flashes of insight you get, even if they seem strange at first.
- Be flexible! Sometimes your plans might get turned upside down, and it’s best to adapt rather than cling too tightly to how you think things should be.
- Question old habits, rules, or systems that feel outdated in your life. This is a great time to innovate and shake up your routines- especially if you feel stuck.
- Connect with others who see the world differently from you. New friends or communities can open your mind to new perspectives.
- Practice grounding- spend time in nature, meditate, or find simple ways to stay centered if things start feeling confusing or chaotic.
- Give yourself permission to experiment and make mistakes. This transit is about learning by doing, not aiming for perfection.
- Take breaks from technology or social media if you start feeling overwhelmed or mentally foggy.
- Keep an eye out for signs of escapism- like daydreaming too much or avoiding your responsibilities. Balance imagination with reality.
What’s interesting about this transit?
Okay, let’s get extra quirky and dig up some uncommon interpretations of Neptune sesquisquare Uranus from the old astrological texts and traditions. Most people gloss over the sesquisquare (135°), but old-school astrologers had some curious ideas about these so-called “minor” and “disturbing” aspects:
- “Spirit-Loss”: Some ancient texts suggest this transit can trigger a sense that you’re disconnected from your spirit guides or even your own soul. This could mean random periods where you just can’t seem to connect with your intuition.
- Invisible Allies/Enemies: In a few medieval interpretations, Neptune in a hard aspect to Uranus could bring unexpected help or trouble from people you can’t even see- like secret societies or hidden networks working for or against you without your knowing it.
- “The Dreamer’s Paradox”: Some old practitioners wrote that you might dream of inventions or ideas that are years ahead of their time, but find yourself unable to explain or act on them, leading to strange frustration.
- Magical Mishaps: There are obscure warnings about muddled attempts at magic, rituals, or energy work backfiring just because the energies of Neptune and Uranus are both so unpredictable and so hard to grasp at the same time.
- “Whispered Prophecies”: You might hear random predictions, see omens, or get flashes of insight that you can’t immediately act on, as if you’re “tuned in” to a weird channel, but there’s static in the signal.
- Bizarre Tastes: It was sometimes suggested that you’ll find yourself drawn to strange foods, unconventional music, or odd subcultures, as if you’re suddenly allergic to normality and craving the strange.
Experiencing This Transit
When Neptune forms a sesquisquare (that’s a 135-degree angle, considered a hard and kinda cranky aspect) with your natal Uranus, the vibe gets both weird and unsettled. Neptune is all about dreams, illusions, confusion, and surrender, while Uranus demands freedom, breaks the rules, and loves to shake things up out of nowhere. When these two get tangled up in a sesquisquare, you’ll likely feel pulled in directions that have zero logic or clear plan- and things can change on you overnight. You could feel lost in daydreams or hunches one minute, then electrified and rebellious the next.
There’s often a kind of underlying restlessness, like something big wants to change or come into your life, but you just can’t see what it is yet. It’s chaotic, but also full of weird possibilities.
Challenges during this transit
- Weird Anxiety: You might feel jumpy, restless, or even a bit paranoid- like you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop, and you can’t say why.
- Confusing Sudden Events: Out of nowhere, something may shift, but it’ll feel foggy- like getting shocking news through a muffled speaker. You might miss the point or not know how to react.
- Fading Motivation: If you try to start something radical or innovative, your drive can melt away just as quickly, leaving you feeling lost or scattered.
- Hard to Focus: Uranus wants breakthroughs, Neptune wants to drift- so your mind might bounce from wild scheme to aimless daydream, making it pretty tough to actually get much done.
- Misdirected Rebellion: You could rebel against the wrong thing, like pushing back against imaginary restrictions or authority figures that just don’t matter.
- Instinct vs. Logic: Trusting your gut feels off. Your hunches are maybe right, maybe just crazy talk- hard to tell the difference.
Opportunities during this transit
- Creative Inspiration: You might dream up the wildest art, music, or inventions, even if they’re not fully practical yet. Abstract or experimental creativity thrives now.
- Breaking Old Patterns: This transit can gently (or not-so-gently) dissolve routines or beliefs that aren’t serving you, making it easier to let go and bring in new, even oddball habits.
- Spiritual Experiments: Perfect time to try new kinds of meditation, divination, or spiritual practices. You could have breakthroughs in understanding yourself or get weirdly accurate intuitive flashes.
- Meeting Unusual People: You might cross paths with people outside your normal social scene- think mystics, rebels, dreamers- and find yourself learning from the least likely teachers.
- Learning to Flow: This aspect can actually teach you to surf the chaos a little bit- to let go of needing straight lines and clear answers, and just see where the cosmic waves take you.
- Invent The Future: You could catch glimpses of what’s coming- in culture, tech, or your own life- long before anyone else, giving you the edge if you’re willing to embrace the unfamiliar.
