Astrology: Jupiter sextile Neptune, May 23, 2024

From Café Astrology: Idealistic and humanitarian goals or impulses surface now. Making connections with others from a different background may figure. Widening our minds through unusual or different experiences can be part of the picture. Practical considerations could take a back seat now. Generosity and compassion increases, and our faith is boosted. We more easily make personal sacrifices for what we believe to be the better good.

Planetary Aspects:

 

When Jupiter and Neptune connect, we deal with matters related to our outlook, spirit, beliefs, understanding, and perceptions. This planetary combination gives a compassionate, spiritual, kind, and concerned outlook, belief system, or perspective.

 

While Jupiter and Neptune complement one another in many ways and can work well together, a key difference is that Jupiter seeks to build, develop, and expand while Neptune seeks to dissolve.

As such, when they’re working at cross purposes to one another, there can be an ongoing sense of things slipping away or repeated attempts to optimistically build something up with difficulties following through.

 

Possible Key Traits of Jupiter sextile Neptune. You will find some, many, or all of the following characteristics present in the personality, depending on how strong this aspect is in the natal chart:

• Strives toward the ideal of compassionate concern and universal love.

Transit to Transit

 

With Jupiter forming a sextile to Neptune, this is a time when we are seeking inspiration, or when we are inspired to follow a dream or vision or to pursue a cause. We are considering our dreams, imagination, and compassion as we plan out or pursue our objectives, and we may feel supported or encouraged on a spiritual level. We are inclined to see the good in people and situations.

 

The 2020 Jupiter-Neptune sextile more specifically: Jupiter is not working at its best in Capricorn and Neptune feels at home in the sign of Pisces. This transit is particularly useful as it occurs around the time of a conjunction between Jupiter and Pluto and near to a Jupiter-Saturn alignment, although not at the same time as the latter. This sextile helps us keep a sense of proportion and to consider our morals and spiritual values as we pursue our objectives.

 

The 2024 Jupiter-Neptune sextile more specifically: Jupiter is expanding our desire for security, comfort, abundance, earthy or sensual experiences, money, and material things while in the sign of Taurus. As it harmonizes with spiritual Neptune in Pisces, we’re more likely to factor in our spiritual values and need for imagination, romance, and concern or compassion for others into our pursuit.

According to Robert Hand:

This is a time when you are particularly concerned with fulfilling your ideals in life, and you will formulate your eventual goals in very idealistic terms.

Helping others gives you a great sense of personal fulfillment that outweighs any personal sacrifice you may have to make.

With this tranit, your religious philosophical and spiritual concerns are often great….In fact, the nature of this transit is such that you will probably gain insight from those parts of your everyday world that you take for granted.

On another level entirely, this transit can often signify a desire to gamble.
