Dream Big & Trust the Magic
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Neptune Sextile Jupiter transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t make big promises you can’t keep- this transit can make you overly optimistic about what you can handle.
- Avoid gambling or taking big financial risks, since it’s easy to get swept up in wishful thinking.
- Don’t ignore details or brush off practical matters just because things feel easy or dreamy.
- Steer clear of get-rich-quick schemes or too-good-to-be-true offers, as you might be more gullible now.
- Avoid relying too much on luck or faith to solve your problems- put in some real effort too.
- Don’t overcommit your time, money, or energy to others, even if you’re feeling extra generous.
- Avoid escaping reality through substances or overindulgence in things that take you away from your responsibilities.
- Don’t ignore your own limits, thinking you’re invincible- Neptune can blur boundaries.
- Try not to idealize people or situations- see things as they really are, not just how you wish they were.
Do During This Transit
- Dream big and set new goals. This is a time when it’s easier to believe in yourself and imagine positive changes. Go ahead and picture your best life!
- Explore spirituality or new philosophies. You might get curious about meditation, yoga, or reading up on different belief systems. Dive in and see what inspires you.
- Help others and give back. Acts of kindness or volunteering will feel extra rewarding now. It’s also a good time to donate to causes you care about.
- Travel or plan a special trip. If you can, visit somewhere that stretches your mind or lifts your spirit- think retreats, sacred spots, or somewhere new and beautiful.
- Start creative projects. Neptune brings inspiration while Jupiter gives confidence. Try painting, writing, music, or any creative hobby- you’ll find it flows easier than usual now.
- Forgive and let go of grudges. You may find it easier to heal old wounds or make peace with people and your own past during this transit.
- Learn and study something uplifting. Take a class, read books, or listen to podcasts that expand your mind in positive ways.
- Trust your intuition. Your gut feelings are extra strong now, so pay attention to your dreams, hunches, and little signs from the universe.
- Practice gratitude and focus on the positive. It’s a supercharged time for recognizing the good in your life and attracting more of it.
- Connect with like-minded people. Join groups or communities that share your values or interests- you’ll find it easier to make genuine, uplifting connections now.
What’s Interesting About This Transit
- Interest in Esoteric Societies: Sepharial, in his book Transits (1911), says that Neptune sextile Jupiter can bring about a sudden desire to join secret or mystical societies- like the Theosophical Society, Freemasons, or Rosicrucians- because the transit stirs “interest in hidden brotherhoods and ancient wisdom.”
- “Magnetism of Ideals”: C.E.O. Carter in The Principles of Astrology (1925) notes that during this transit, a person might “absorb, almost like a sponge, the idealistic schemes and utopian dreams floating in the mental ether,” suggesting one’s mind is more attuned than usual to collective aspirations and fantasies, leading to unusual inspiration or even delusion, depending on other factors.
- Strange Charitable Impulses: Ivy Goldstein-Jacobson in Transits (1960) points out that this aspect could manifest as a “mysterious urge to give away possessions or money to odd causes, sometimes without understanding why or to whom.”
- Spiritual Healing Powers: In The Astrologer’s Handbook (1973), Sakoian & Acker mention, with reference to earlier sources, that Neptune sextile Jupiter can “awaken latent abilities in radiatory or spiritual healing,” especially if the native experiments with new forms of energy work or ritual.
- Unusual Fortune through Dream Interpretation: Alan Leo, in Astrology for All (1910), describes this transit as, “favorable for gaining benefit from the interpretation of dreams and symbols,” suggesting a period where psychic or symbolic insight leads not just to understanding but real-life advantages.
- Luck Beneath the Surface: Llewellyn George in A to Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator (1910) states that this transit “may bring fortune through concealed sources,” like secret inheritances, investments in unlisted companies, or unexplained windfalls linked to intuition.
- “Philanthropy on the Sly”: C.E.O. Carter also adds that sometimes people under this transit “prefer to perform acts of goodwill anonymously, finding spiritual pleasure in doing good while remaining unseen,” which he felt was a rare but telling feature of a Neptune/Jupiter blend.
- Travel for Odd Religious Reasons: Vivian Robson in The Influence of the Planets (1937) points out that one may suddenly travel, not for business or vacation, but “undertake journeys for obscure spiritual purposes, perhaps to visit shrines or mystical places with little explanation.”
- Natural Attraction to Outcasts and Mystics: Grant Lewi in Astrology for the Millions (1940) says people may find “strange luck or wisdom by associating with people on the fringe of society, such as mystics, poets, or even those regarded as charlatans.”
- Unconventional Visions of Justice: Isidore Kozminsky in The Astrological Judgment and Practice of Medicine (1917) notes that this aspect can bring “peculiar notions of right and wrong, leading to advocacy for causes others don’t yet understand,” which might make someone ahead of their time- or just misunderstood.
Experiencing This Transit
When Neptune forms a sextile aspect to your natal Jupiter, life starts to feel a little more enchanted than usual. You might notice your faith in life and people quietly growing. It’s like you’re being gently nudged by the universe to dream a little bigger and believe a little more. Your sense of compassion can expand, and you may even find yourself drawn to causes, spiritual ideas, or creative hobbies that you didn’t care about much before.
Challenges During This Transit
- Over-Idealism: There’s a real risk here that you’ll start seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. You might develop unrealistic expectations, especially about relationships, money, or your luck. Maybe you trust someone with more than you should, or bite off more than you can chew in a charitable project.
- Distraction and Daydreaming: It’s super easy to get lost in big dreams and forget about real-world details. You might get so caught up imagining traveling the world, writing a book, or saving the planet, that you forget to, you know, pay your internet bill.
- Misplaced Generosity: The urge to help others is strong now, but you need to watch out for people taking advantage of your kindness. That friend who always needs to borrow money? This is when you might finally give in- maybe when you shouldn’t.
Opportunities During This Transit
- Spiritual Growth: This is probably one of the best times for exploring new spiritual paths, trying meditation, or even just reading philosophy. Answers can kind of “drift” into your awareness naturally if you let yourself be open.
- Creative Inspiration: If you’re into art, music, or writing, you’ll find your imagination goes up a level. Some people say their best ideas come during Neptune-Jupiter times- dreams, drawings, or even new business pitches that seem out of nowhere.
- Charity and Good Deeds: Giving back is extra rewarding now. Volunteer work, fundraising for a cause, or even simple acts of kindness attract positive energy- and sometimes some really cool new friends, too.
- Gentle Luck: It’s not lottery-win luck- it’s more like a wave of gentle, cumulative positivity. Opportunities open up softly: someone recommends you for a job you never considered, or you get help just when you need it. If you take a leap of faith (within reason!), the safety net often appears.
- Healing and Forgiveness: Old wounds or grudges can lose their sting now. You may find it easier to let go of past hurts, or finally understand someone else’s perspective. This can be emotionally freeing.
