Transit Jupiter Sesquisquare Natal Neptune

Cloudy dreams, confusing hopes

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t make big promises you can’t keep- things can feel bigger or easier than they really are.
• Avoid risky financial moves or investments- your judgment might be cloudier than usual.
• Don’t trust everything you hear or read; double-check facts before believing rumors.
• Avoid escaping through overindulging in food, alcohol, or anything else unhealthy.
• Try not to ignore obvious problems hoping they’ll just disappear on their own- they likely won’t.
• Don’t fall for get-rich-quick schemes or offers that sound too good to be true.
• Avoid letting people guilt-trip or manipulate you, especially if you’re naturally empathetic.
• Don’t commit to major life changes unless you’re really sure- they might not look the same once this transit passes.
• Avoid over-idealizing relationships or people- you might not be seeing them clearly.
• Try not to avoid reality or your responsibilities, even if life feels overwhelming.

Do During This Transit

• Pay extra attention to your dreams and intuition- they might reveal something important now.
• Explore creative hobbies like painting, music, writing, or any kind of art that lets your imagination run wild.
• Take time for meditation, yoga, or spiritual practices- even if it’s just a quiet walk or some deep breathing.
• Double-check the facts before making big promises or decisions, especially if things feel a little “too good to be true.”
• Find healthy ways to escape stress, like watching movies, listening to music, or spending time in nature.
• Let yourself be inspired, but keep at least one foot on the ground so you don’t get carried away.
• Be gentle with yourself if you feel confused or scattered- this energy can make things feel foggy sometimes.
• Help others if you can, through volunteering or just being there to listen. Compassion is strong during this transit.
• Reflect on your beliefs, values, and the things in life that give you faith- maybe journal about them or talk it out with someone you trust.

What’s interesting about this transit?

• Some old European astrology texts mention that when Jupiter forms a sesquisquare (135° aspect) to Neptune, the person might experience what they called “phantom fortunes”- unexpected offers or dreams of gain that seem real at first, but vanish into thin air.
• Ancient Arabic astrologers described this configuration as “the Mist on the Mountain,” saying it could bring moments where faith seems real but is actually misplaced, especially regarding distant promises or spiritual leaders.
• There’s a rare mention in Renaissance astrology of wandering or being “called to far lands by rumor” under hard Jupiter-Neptune aspects like this one, suggesting travel, journeys, or big changes proposed by friends that probably aren’t as exciting or beneficial as they’re made out to be.
• In some old text translations, it’s said this transit can spark “visions without anchor,” meaning a surge of creative or psychic ideas that don’t lead anywhere practical- a common warning to artists and mystics.
• Ancient Indian astrologers sometimes linked hard Jupiter-Neptune aspects to “honeyed words from charlatans”- in other words, you might encounter people who speak beautifully but don’t tell the truth during this time.
• Medieval astrologers called this a “test of faithfulness to the invisible,” suggesting that your trust in things you can’t see or prove gets put through the wringer.

Experiencing This Transit

When Jupiter makes a sesquisquare to your natal Neptune, it stirs up a lot of hope and longing for something big, wonderful, or magical- but there’s tension and friction. You might feel like you’re about to have some major breakthrough or uncover a higher meaning in life. But something’s just out of reach, and things can get pretty confusing. It’s like chasing a rainbow- beautiful, but impossible to grab.

Challenges during this transit

• Overestimating luck or opportunity: You might really believe that something great is on the horizon, even if there’s no real evidence to back it up. For example, you could get caught up in a “can’t-miss” investment or business idea, only to find out it was too good to be true.
• Escapism or avoidance: If life feels overwhelming, the urge to escape might grow. That could mean binge-watching shows, daydreaming too much, or even falling back on bad habits, just to avoid facing tough reality.
• Easily misled by others: This isn’t the best time for trusting every word someone says- especially if it’s about money, spiritual groups, or creative collaborations. You’re more open to suggestion, so watch out for persuasive people with hidden agendas.
• Foggy boundaries: You might struggle to draw the line between your dreams and what’s realistic, or between your needs and other people’s. This could lead to feeling drained, used, or just spun around and uncertain.

Opportunities during this transit

• A flood of creativity: You might have a wave of inspiration for art, music, writing, or any creative pursuit. Even if some ideas are impractical, let yourself play and see where it goes- you might stumble on something beautiful.
• Deeper compassion and empathy: It’s easier (maybe even automatic) to understand what others are feeling. This transit can help you develop more kindness and connection with people in need or those going through tough times.
• Spiritual or mystical breakthroughs: Even if not every vision or insight is totally real, you can still have powerful moments of intuition, faith, or connection to something greater. Meditation, prayer, or just taking quiet moments can feel extra meaningful.
• Learning to trust your gut (carefully): With Neptune involved, you’ll get lessons in when your intuition is spot-on and when it’s leading you astray. This is a great time to practice checking in with yourself and matching dreams with actual facts.
• Seeing the magic in the mundane: Ordinary moments might suddenly feel more magical or mysterious. If you let yourself slow down and pay attention, you’ll notice beauty and meaning in the simple things- like the way sunlight comes through the window or the sound of a favorite song.
