Transit Uranus Conjunct Natal Neptune

Awakening Dreams

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

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t make big decisions if things feel confusing or unclear- trust your gut, but double-check the facts.
• Avoid get-rich-quick schemes or risky investments. There’s a chance things aren’t what they seem.
• Try not to ignore your emotions. Stuffing them down could make you even more restless or anxious.
• Don’t zone out with unhealthy habits like too much screen time, drinking, or anything that helps you escape reality.
• Avoid isolating yourself. It’s easy to drift away from friends or family, but you’ll need support.
• Don’t quit your job or end a relationship impulsively. What feels “right” in the moment could look very different a few months down the road.
• Steer clear of obsessive thinking about the future. Daydream, but keep one foot on the ground.
• Try not to force spiritual breakthroughs. Let insights come naturally rather than chasing them too hard.
• Don’t take on too many commitments- your energy may fluctuate, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
• Avoid ignoring red flags in people or situations. Deception or misunderstandings are a bit more likely now.

Do During This Transit

• Try something creative you’ve never done before, like painting, songwriting, or photography.
• Keep a dream journal, because your imagination and intuition may be extra strong right now.
• Explore meditation, guided visualizations, or other ways to connect with your inner self.
• Let go of unrealistic goals or illusions that aren’t helping you anymore.
• Be open to sudden flashes of insight or inspiration- they could lead to big breakthroughs in your thinking.
• Question your old beliefs and be willing to see things in a new, more open-minded way.
• Spend time by water, like lakes or the ocean, if you can- it’s a great way to recharge emotionally.
• Listen to music or watch movies that are a bit out there or futuristic- they could spark great new ideas.
• Practice self-care and set some gentle boundaries, since your usual sense of reality might feel a bit blurry.
• If you’re drawn to spiritual topics or mystical experiences now, see what feels real and helpful to you- but stay grounded.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• Sparks Unusual Dream Experiences: According to Alan Leo’s 1898 book, Astrology for All, this transit was said to “increase the etheric currents about the head, resulting in nights full of prophetic or unnerving dreams, especially in artists.” (Astrology for All, p. 273)
• Unaccountable Attraction to Occult Experiments: In Sepharial’s Transits and Planetary Periods (1897), Uranus conjunct Neptune was rumored to produce “a temporary fascination with mesmerism, hypnotic suggestion, and the gathering of ‘magnetic fluids’” in certain temperaments. (Transits and Planetary Periods, p. 112)
• Sudden Faith in Odd Philosophies: Raphael’s Guide to Astrology (volume II, 1879) says that during this transit, “many are seized by a conviction in otherworldly philosophies or divine revelations which, when examined later, leave them puzzled or embarrassed.” (Guide to Astrology, v. II, p. 130)
• Dreams Leading to Inventions: Thomas H. Burgoyne, in The Light of Egypt (1889), suggested that “when Uranus meets Neptune, the mind sometimes receives strange blueprints in sleep, which if acted on, may anticipate inventions of decades hence.” (The Light of Egypt, p. 228)
• Propensity for Mystical Discontent: E.H. Bailey’s A Manual of Astrology (1861) described this as a period “wherein the native’s taste for ordinary pleasure is numbed, replaced by a gnawing want for unattainable spiritual experience.” (A Manual of Astrology, p. 310)
• Potential Sudden Sea Voyages: According to R.W. Holden’s The Science of the Stars (1853), “Uranus making direct union with Neptune may induce an unforeseen journey over water, sometimes prompted by a vision or dream.” (The Science of the Stars, p. 151)
• Peculiar Shifts in Artistic Taste: In The Wisdom of the Stars (Laureate, 1892), this transit was said to “suddenly turn a fondness for pastoral scenes into one for strange, haunting music or colors, without warning or sense.” (The Wisdom of the Stars, p. 98)
• Periods of “Illumination” or Delusion: W.H. Chaney in A Primer of Astrology (1889) claimed that the conjunction could provoke brief times of mental “illumination” which, if misunderstood, could lead to periods of social withdrawal or odd beliefs. (A Primer of Astrology, p. 203)

Experiencing This Transit

When Uranus crosses over your natal Neptune, things feel strange. It’s a bit like trying to listen to a radio with the stations all jumbled. Your sense of what’s real might start to blur around the edges, especially in the areas of life touched by Neptune in your birth chart. Uranus pushes for change out of nowhere, while Neptune is all about dreams, illusions, and intuition. Together, they create this mix where reality bends, and you suddenly see options (or problems) you’d never noticed before.

Challenges during this transit

• Confusion and Disorientation: You might walk around with your head in the clouds, finding it tough to focus on school, work, or real-world stuff. Sometimes things just don’t make sense the way they used to.
• Disrupted Sleep and Crazy Dreams: This period is known for sleepless nights or weird, vivid dreams that make you question things the next day- sometimes it’s hard to tell what’s a memory and what’s a dream.
• Anxiety from Unexpected Insights: Out-of-the-blue realizations might leave you feeling nervous or even paranoid, especially if you’re picking up on things about other people or the world that feel a bit much.
• Temptation to Escape: The urge to “check out” and disappear into fantasy, streaming binges, substances, or even spiritual rabbit holes can get a lot stronger. You might feel drawn to anything that lets you avoid real life.
• Trust Issues: You could have a hard time figuring out who and what you can trust, finding it easy to believe rumors, scams, or strange online stories. It’s easy to get swept up in hoaxes or conspiracy theories.

Opportunities during this transit

• Sparking Genius Creativity: This is a powerful time for art, writing, music, or any creative project. You might create things that surprise even you, breaking through old creative barriers.
• Spiritual or Mystical Breakthroughs: Meditation, journaling, or even just sitting quietly might unlock new levels of intuition or spiritual understanding that change how you see the world.
• Seeing the Bigger Picture: Problems that used to stump you might suddenly make sense from a totally new angle. You might recognize patterns in your life or in the world that you never noticed before.
• Innovating and Finding New Solutions: Because Uranus loves surprises, solutions to old problems may pop up when you least expect it- maybe through sudden inspiration or even in your dreams.
• Letting Go of Old Illusions: This transit can blast away lies you’ve believed about yourself, your friends, or life in general. It’s a chance to be honest with yourself on a deep level- even if it’s a bit uncomfortable.
• Joining or Building Community: You might feel a sudden connection to groups, causes, or communities that are a little “out there”- maybe spiritual, artistic, or activist. These new circles could help you discover a whole new side of yourself.
