Dreamy glow-up vibes
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Neptune Trine Ascendant transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t ignore red flags in relationships. This transit can make you see people through “rose-colored glasses,” so it’s easy to trust the wrong folks.
- Avoid making big decisions without double-checking the facts. Things might feel unclear or confusing, and your gut may not be as reliable as usual.
- Don’t lose touch with reality by daydreaming too much. It’s tempting to escape problems instead of facing them head-on.
- Be careful with promises- don’t overcommit or say yes to things you aren’t sure about, especially if you’re just trying to be nice.
- Don’t let people take advantage of your kindness. Boundaries might get blurry, so remember it’s okay to say no.
- Avoid substance abuse or anything that makes you feel “out of it.” The urge to escape can be stronger now, but it won’t help in the long run.
- Don’t skip checking your financial details. Double-check bills, purchases, and agreements so nothing slips by because you’re distracted.
- Avoid gossip or getting caught up in drama. Truth can be slippery during this time, and misunderstandings are more likely.
- Don’t ignore your health. Emotional energy can be all over the place, so try not to let it mess with your routines or self-care.
- Stay away from get-rich-quick schemes or anything that feels “too good to be true.” If it sounds sketchy, it probably is.
Do During This Transit
- Tap into your creativity- try painting, writing, music, or any kind of art that lets your imagination flow.
- Start a meditation or mindfulness practice. Neptune trine Ascendant is perfect for connecting with your spiritual side.
- Volunteer or help out others- your compassion and empathy are stronger now, so it’s a good time to make a difference.
- Update your personal style. You might feel inspired to refresh your look or let your softer, more dreamy side show through your appearance.
- Explore your intuition. Trust your gut feelings and maybe even learn about tarot, astrology, or other mystical stuff.
- Let go of grudges or old baggage. This transit can help you forgive and move on more easily.
- Spend time near water when you can- lakes, oceans, or even a long bath can help you recharge.
- Let yourself dream big about the future. Neptune brings inspiration and hope, so let your imagination go wild with possibilities.
- Be more open and gentle with others. Your energy is softer now, so it’s easier to connect on a deep, meaningful level.
- Listen to your dreams- both the sleeping and waking kind. They might have important messages for you during this time.
What’s interesting about this transit?
- In some older astrological texts, Neptune trine the Ascendant was said to make the native “invisible to enemies,” almost like a cloak of mist hides you from people who wish you harm.
- Certain traditions believed this aspect could temporarily enhance talents around disguise, impersonation, or acting- some ancient astrologers even linked it to the “masking” abilities of mythic tricksters.
- Some Renaissance astrologers wrote that, under this transit, a person could receive messages “from the ether,” meaning sudden hunches or dreams are likely to be especially meaningful or psychic.
- In old interpretations, Neptune trine Ascendant was sometimes called “the wanderer’s blessing,” said to favor successful travels by sea or journeys to otherworldly places.
- Certain early-20th-century astrologers claimed people under this aspect might appear younger, softer, or just unusually captivating- almost as if an ethereal glow hangs around them, making others see them through rose-colored glasses.
Experiencing This Transit
When Neptune makes a trine to your natal Ascendant, things tend to get a bit dreamy and magical around the way you present yourself and how the world sees you. Neptune is all about illusions, inspiration, compassion, and dissolving boundaries, while the Ascendant is the “face” you show the world, your outer behavior, and first impressions.
During this transit, you might find people react to you in a softer, friendlier way. You could start noticing that you feel more empathetic, imaginative, or inspired generally. Your vibe is gentler, maybe even a bit mysterious or enchanting, and people tend to open up to you or trust you more easily. It’s not uncommon to feel drawn to artistic, spiritual, or healing pursuits right now, or just daydream a lot more than usual.
You might also feel “in between worlds”- caught between what’s real and what’s ideal or make-believe. There’s this blurring between you and your surroundings, which can make everything feel a little surreally beautiful- or just confusing! It’s a lovely time for creative expression, connecting spiritually, or showing your kinder, more understanding side to others.
Challenges During This Transit
- Confusion About Identity: Your sense of self can get fuzzy. You might second-guess your style, your direction in life, or how you want others to see you. You might pick up on other people’s moods or opinions so much that you lose track of your own.
- Being Taken Advantage Of: That increased empathy can sometimes make you an easy target for people who want to take advantage, or you might say “yes” just to avoid conflict. This is a classic “doormat” moment, so keep an eye on your boundaries.
- Escapism: It’s tempting to detach from hard realities- like getting caught up in fantasy, binge-watching, substances, or even simply avoiding challenges altogether.
- Unrealistic Self-Image: With Neptune’s glow, you might not see yourself, your flaws, or your strengths clearly. This can lead to poor decisions or disappointment if you project an image that really isn’t “you.”
Opportunities During This Transit
- Heightened Creativity: If you’re into music, art, writing, or any creative field, you’ll probably find that ideas flow more easily. Even if you’re not “artsy,” you might enjoy doodling, redecorating, or just being moved by beauty.
- Magnetic Charisma: People just seem drawn to you now. It’s a great time to make new friends, heal old wounds, or give first impressions that open new doors, maybe even in romance.
- Spiritual Growth: You might connect with intuition, meditation, or spiritual reading in a way you never have before. Dreams are richer, and tuning in to your gut can have surprising results.
- Acts of Compassion: This is a wonderful window to volunteer, help someone, or just listen with an open heart. You could join a cause, support a friend, or get involved in something that feels bigger and more meaningful.
- Personal Healing: If you’ve felt misunderstood or shut down in the past, Neptune helps dissolve some of those old defenses. It’s easier to forgive, move on, or find peace with things that used to hurt you.
