Dreams Get a Power-Up
Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Pluto Sextile Neptune transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.
Avoid During This Transit
- Don’t ignore your intuition if something feels off or “too good to be true.”
- Try not to get lost in fantasy or wishful thinking- stay grounded in reality.
- Avoid making huge life-changing decisions based only on dreams or gut feelings.
- Don’t get involved in shady situations or secretive groups- you might not see the whole picture.
- Steer clear of substances or activities that could cloud your judgment or make you escape from problems.
- Don’t lend large amounts of money or trust everyone’s promises without checking facts first.
- Avoid gossip or passing on rumors, since boundaries can be fuzzy under this transit.
- Don’t try to heal or rescue everyone around you- save some energy for yourself.
- Don’t ignore practical details, especially if you’re working on creative or spiritual projects.
- Try not to overcommit to causes or people just because your empathy is extra strong right now.
Do During This Transit
- Dive into spiritual practices – Meditation, yoga, or anything that helps you connect with your deeper self can feel extra powerful now.
- Explore your creativity – Try painting, music, writing, or another artistic thing you enjoy. Inspiration flows easier during this transit.
- Work on healing old wounds – It’s a great time to let go of past emotional baggage or even start therapy or counseling if you’ve been thinking about it.
- Volunteer or help others – Acts of kindness and compassion feel really rewarding and can lead to deep insights about yourself and the world.
- Learn about mystical or occult subjects – Astrology, tarot, dreams, or anything a bit “otherworldly” is especially interesting right now.
- Focus on personal transformation – This is a good time to make real, lasting changes in your habits and mindset.
- Let go of limiting beliefs – Work on any negative thinking that’s been holding you back. You might find it easier to shift your outlook now.
- Trust your intuition more – Your “gut feelings” and inner voice are especially strong and trustworthy during this transit.
- Spend time near water – Lakes, oceans, or even long baths can feel extra soothing and inspiring right now.
- Start a dream journal – Your dreams might be more vivid and meaningful, giving you new insights about yourself.
What’s interesting about this transit?
When Pluto forms a sextile to your natal Neptune, it’s not one of those classic astrology transits you see talked about everywhere- so let’s dig into some old-school and not-so-obvious ideas from way back:
- Transmutation of Dreams: Ancient astrologers saw this as a subtle alchemy of one’s hidden dreams. Paracelsian texts mention that this aspect can turn long-held fantasies into something practical, almost like “gold from lead.”
- Hidden Spiritual Messages: Some older sources say this is a window for messages from the unseen realms, especially through dreams or symbols. Think of it as getting secret letters from your subconscious or even ancestors.
- Cleansing Through Water: Medieval notes on Neptune see it linked to water rituals, and Pluto with purification, so you might run into references about finally “washing away” old psychic wounds or emotional blockages.
- Unmasking Illusions in Relationships: There are obscure mentions (16th-century texts) that say this transit can reveal people pretending to be friends or lovers. The idea was it’ll expose secret motivations but gently, not with drama.
- Mystical Rebirth: Some esoteric writers believed this combo brings a low-key mystical rebirth. Old theosophical sources mention it as a time when “the soul quietly transforms its illusions into deeper understanding.”
- There are even a few references about regaining forgotten gifts- maybe artistic ability, or psychic “sight”- that sleep inside you, waiting for the right cosmic nudge.
Experiencing This Transit
Pluto sextile Neptune is a slow, background kind of energy- not like a lightning bolt, but more like the tide coming in. During this transit, you might notice your dreams and spiritual life taking on a deeper, almost mysterious tone. You could find yourself quietly reevaluating your beliefs, your hopes, or your sense of connection to the universe. It’s subtle, but powerful beneath the surface.
Challenges During This Transit
- Bouts of Confusion or Fog: Sometimes, you’ll have trouble telling what’s real and what’s not. You could get lost in daydreams, wishful thinking, or even fall for some smooth-talking people with hidden agendas.
- Letting Go of Fantasies: If you’re really attached to certain ideals or illusions, Pluto can pry your fingers off. That feels vulnerable- maybe you realize someone you looked up to isn’t what you thought, or you see a dream isn’t what you truly want anymore.
- Sensitivity to Collective Energy: You might soak up other people’s moods more than ever, or feel overwhelmed by world events- like you’re a psychic sponge without a filter.
- Nightmares or Strange Dreams: With Neptune involved, your subconscious is extra-active. Dreams might get weirder or more intense, sometimes stirring up old fears or buried stuff you thought you were done with.
Opportunities During This Transit
- Deep Healing Through Art or Spiritual Practice: This aspect is perfect for exploring music, painting, meditation, yoga, or even working with rituals. You can reach healing levels you never thought possible, especially by expressing things you can’t say out loud.
- Transforming Personal Myths: Pluto sextile Neptune lets you rewrite the stories you’ve told yourself about who you are. Maybe you finally see yourself as strong, not fragile, or creative, not blocked.
- Heightened Intuition: Your gut feelings get sharper. You might pick up on signs, symbols, or synchronicities that nudge you in the right direction, or have flashes of insight about what’s really going on with people.
- Soft but Powerful Changes: Unlike Pluto transits that shake everything up, this one helps you shift things without chaos. For example, you might slowly phase out a bad habit or quietly drift away from an unhealthy situation.
- Compassion Plus Boundaries: Pluto’s willpower with Neptune’s empathy means you can support others (or causes you care about) without losing yourself, which isn’t always easy, but feels really good when you pull it off.
