Transit Neptune Sextile Natal Ascendant

Dreamy charm upgrade!

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Neptune Sextile Ascendant transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t ignore your boundaries- this transit can make you extra open and dreamy, so try not to let people take advantage of your kindness.
• Don’t rush into new relationships or friendships- things might feel extra magical and idealized, but wait to see if people are really who they seem.
• Don’t avoid reality- it’s tempting to escape into fantasies or distractions, but try to stay grounded and keep up with your real-life responsibilities.
• Don’t trust every promise you hear- sometimes people (including you!) can get caught up in wishful thinking under this transit.
• Don’t ignore your intuition- if something feels off, don’t talk yourself out of it just to keep the peace or please others.
• Don’t use substances (like drugs or alcohol) to escape- your sensitivity is higher right now, so it’s easier to overdo it or have weird reactions.
• Don’t overcommit- helping others is great, but make sure you’re not stretching yourself too thin or saying yes just to be nice.
• Don’t believe everything you see online or hear through rumors- things can get distorted during Neptune transits!
• Don’t let your self-image get tied up in how others see you- focus on what feels true to you instead of just following trends or expectations.

Do During This Transit

• Pay attention to your dreams and intuition- your inner voice is extra strong now, so it’s a good time to trust your gut feelings.
• Start (or deepen) a spiritual practice, like meditation, yoga, or prayer. You’ll find it easier to connect with your spiritual side.
• Get involved in creative activities, like painting, music, writing, or photography- your imagination is flowing right now.
• Help others or volunteer. You’re more compassionate and understanding during this transit, so it’s a great time to support someone in need.
• Work on self-acceptance and gentleness. You’re likely to feel more at peace with who you are, so let go of harsh self-judgment.
• Explore art, movies, or poetry that make you feel inspired or emotional. This is a great time for enjoying beauty and fantasy.
• Practice forgiveness, both for yourself and others. Neptune’s influence makes it a bit easier to let go of old grudges or guilt.
• Spend time near water if you can, like visiting a lake, river, or beach. Water can be especially soothing and healing during this transit.
• Be open to new friendships or connections, especially with people who are creative, spiritual, or really empathetic.
• Take some quiet time for yourself if things feel overwhelming. It’s totally okay to recharge when you need to!

What’s interesting about this transit?

• Some old European astrologers wrote that Neptune sextile the Ascendant could make your physical presence seem “luminous,” almost like you give off a soft glow. In paintings from the 1800s, artists would sometimes use this kind of aspect when deciding to add halos or rays around heads.
• It’s believed, in some Renaissance texts, that this transit allows your words to be “heard by spirits”- meaning people might unconsciously sense a deeper meaning behind what you’re saying, almost like you have a secret way of connecting with others.
• Medieval astrologers sometimes linked this transit to blessed encounters with water or mist. They suggested you might notice foggy mornings feel extra magical, or that time spent by lakes and rivers during this transit could “purify your spirit.”
• Some obscure 19th-century French astrologers considered Neptune/Ascendant sextiles as a sign someone might temporarily see “those who don’t belong to this world,” hinting at encounters with ghosts, flashes of inspiration, or mysterious strangers.
• Older texts mention that the native’s clothes and personal style can unconsciously become a reflection of dreams and fantasies- so don’t be surprised if you find yourself drawn to flowing fabrics, ethereal scents, or new kinds of jewelry for no clear reason.

Experiencing This Transit

When Neptune makes a sextile to your natal Ascendant, it’s like the universe is gently softening the edges around your personality. You might not even notice it all at once, but you just start to vibe in a more mystical, dreamy way. People might say you seem more relaxed or that you’re glowing, even if you’re just running errands or hanging out at home.

Your intuition gets sharper, and you’ll probably start picking up on people’s feelings without trying. You may get random inspirations, daydreams, or even odd little coincidences that feel like they’re leading you somewhere. Life gets a little less sharp and more like a peaceful watercolor painting for a while.

Don’t be surprised if animals or kids are extra drawn to you. This is a time when your “aura” feels safe and warm to others. You might also be more inspired to help others or get involved in creative projects where you feel like you’re channeling ideas from somewhere else.

Challenges during this transit

• Getting lost in fantasy: Since the edge between reality and dreams thins out, you might start zoning out or missing important details in your daily life. You might become a little too trusting, seeing the best in people but missing red flags.
• Being misunderstood: When you try to express yourself, people might find your words confusing or too abstract. It’s like you’re speaking from a different dimension and not everyone has the same decoder.
• Lack of motivation: That dreamy, go-with-the-flow vibe can make things feel less urgent. You might find it hard to stick to a schedule, keep promises, or put energy into things that seem dull or practical.
• Sensitivity overload: You absorb others’ emotions more easily, so being around negative people or chaotic environments can leave you feeling drained or even anxious without knowing why.

Opportunities during this transit

• Heightened intuition: This is a great time for creative work, meditation, or anything where you need a gut feeling. You’ll have hunches that are worth listening to, even about people or situations you just met.
• Spiritual growth: If you’re into spirituality or healing work, this is one of those rare windows when you can have breakthroughs, visions, or just feel super connected to the universe.
• Compassion and helping others: People see you as a safe space. It’s a good chance to volunteer, support friends, or just listen to someone who needs it, because your empathy is stronger now.
• Creative inspiration: Artists, musicians, and writers love this aspect! You might come up with ideas that feel out-of-this-world, or find that things just “flow” when you’re making art or music.
• Making a dreamy impression: If you’re starting a new romance or friendship, people can be captivated by your vibe right now. You give off a magnetic, soft charm- even without trying.
