Transit Neptune Sesquisquare Natal Jupiter

“Dreamy confusion”

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t take big financial risks- avoid gambling, risky investments, or get-rich-quick schemes, since judgment can be clouded.
• Try not to overpromise or make commitments you can’t keep. It’s easy to think you’re capable of more than you actually are.
• Don’t trust everything you read or hear, especially if it sounds too good to be true. Double-check facts before acting.
• Avoid spiritual shortcuts or blindly following gurus, teachers, or trends that promise miracles.
• Don’t run away from real-world problems by escaping into fantasy, substances, or unhealthy habits.
• Be careful not to stretch the truth or exaggerate- honesty is super important right now.
• Try not to bite off more than you can chew, whether at work, in relationships, or with travel plans.
• Don’t put your full trust in vague dreams or untested ideas- stay realistic and grounded when making plans.
• Steer clear of signing big contracts or making huge life decisions if you feel confused or unclear about the details.
• Avoid ignoring your intuition if something feels off, even if you can’t explain why. Listen to those gut feelings!

Do During This Transit

• Keep an open mind and let yourself dream big, but stay realistic about what you can actually achieve.
• Explore new spiritual or creative ideas- try meditation, painting, music, or just daydreaming a little more.
• Practice gratitude and focus on the positive things in your life, even if everything feels a bit fuzzy right now.
• Spend time reflecting on your beliefs- what really inspires you?
• Stay flexible with your plans and goals. Things might shift or seem uncertain, so go with the flow as much as you can.
• Be mindful of promises- both ones you make and ones you get. It’s easy to overpromise or believe things that aren’t true during this transit.
• Take care with money and big decisions. Double check the facts and trust your gut if something sounds too good to be true.
• Dive into movies, books, or art that lets you escape and refill your inspiration tank.
• Reach out to help others, but also make sure you’re not being taken advantage of. Balance giving with setting healthy boundaries.
• Keep a journal of any dreams or intuitive nudges. Your imagination’s working overtime, and you might get meaningful insights during this time.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• According to Sepharial in The Manual of Astrology (1898), this transit can make a person “drawn to unlikely systems of belief or secret societies, placing excessive faith in arcane or esoteric teachers.” It’s as if you’re more open to non-mainstream philosophies, but perhaps with too much trust in the wrong gurus.
• Charles E.O. Carter wrote in The Astrological Aspects (1930) that a Neptune sesquisquare to Jupiter can bring about a “spirit of unreliability in matters of credit,” which means you or those around you may easily fall for get-rich-quick schemes or dubious charitable causes during this time.
• In Astrological Keywords (1942), M.E. Jones noted that such a transit can correlate with “confusion arising from foreign travel or legal entanglements based on misunderstandings or poorly translated documents.” So this might be a time where details across language or borders create a lot of chaos.
• Marc Edmund Jones also pointed out in his 1936 lecture notes that this aspect “stimulates wild and impractical philanthropy,” where you could be tempted to sacrifice your resources for distant causes that aren’t what they seem.
• Vivian E. Robson in The Radix System (1921) mentioned you might experience “curious dreams leading to extravagant speculations,” especially in financial or academic areas. Basically, your subconscious could nudge you toward odd, illogical hunches that don’t pan out.
• Grant Lewi in Heaven Knows What (1941) noted this transit can show “an urge to exaggerate mystical experiences or visions,” suggesting you might be tempted to dramatize spiritual insights or chase after imaginary miracles.
• Ivy Goldstein-Jacobson in Astrology: Its Techniques and Ethics (1960) said it’s a classic signal for “overextension in studies with elusive or impossible subjects,” like chasing after difficult academic or philosophical pursuits and ending up lost in theory, with no practical results.
• Dane Rudhyar in The Astrology of Personality (1936) mentions this mixture often leads to a period of “fluctuating faith,” where your personal beliefs can shift wildly, making it hard to know what you really stand for.
• Isabel M. Hickey in A Cosmic Science (1970) wrote that this aspect sometimes pulls a person “into emotional or psychic dependency on spiritual advisors,” even if those people don’t have your best interests at heart.
• Sydney Omarr in My World of Astrology (1965) mentioned a hidden risk of “involvement in clandestine international affairs,” suggesting some folks get tangled in secretive or shadowy foreign business dealings during this transit, often by accident.

Experiencing This Transit

When Neptune makes a sesquisquare to your natal Jupiter, it kind of feels like you’re trying to expand your horizons or dreams, but there’s confusion, mixed signals, or even self-deception getting in the way. Jupiter wants to go big- on luck, ideas, faith, travel, learning- but Neptune brings fog, illusions, and sometimes a sense of disappointment or disillusionment. You might get lost chasing a fantasy, or find that your big dreams aren’t quite rooted in reality right now.

Challenges during this transit

• Easily Misled: It’s easy to get drawn into big promises that don’t pan out. For example, you might invest time in a business idea that sounds amazing but lacks real substance, or jump head-first into a new course or philosophy you later realize doesn’t really fit your values.
• Overidealization: This aspect can make you idealize people, projects, or beliefs way too much. You might believe a mentor or guru has all the answers, and ignore red flags- only to be disappointed later.
• Escapism: If life feels unsatisfying, you might escape into fantasy- binging on movies, daydreaming about travel, or planning a big move that’s not actually realistic right now.
• Moral Confusion: Questions about what’s right or wrong can be really murky. Maybe you try to help someone but get taken advantage of, or feel guilt and confusion over past decisions.
• Difficulty Manifesting Luck: You may notice your usual “luck” isn’t as sharp, or things you expect to work out just kind of dissolve or don’t materialize as planned.

Opportunities during this transit

• Expanding Compassion: This is an amazing time to open your heart. If you get involved in volunteer work (just make sure it’s legit!), you could find deep meaning and connection with others on a soulful level.
• Developing Spiritual Insight: Neptune’s dreamy vibes can help you access inspiration and deeper intuition. Meditation, art, music, or even dream journaling can spark new creative or spiritual growth.
• Letting Go of False Beliefs: Old illusions- about yourself, about success, or about what makes you happy- might get swept away, making room for more genuine, realistic hopes and goals.
• Learning Surrender: Sometimes things don’t go your way for a reason. This transit can teach you to “trust the process” and be okay with not being 100% in control, learning that sometimes the universe has a bigger plan.
• Creative Breakthroughs: Artists and writers especially can find this transit inspires wild new ideas, even if not all of them are practical. Sometimes your weirdest ideas now can become your best material later.
