Sesquiquintile Sun – Neptune

(Transit Sun → Natal Neptune)

Avesalom Podvodnyi. Aspects

Tridecile of the Sun: When participating in another’s life, an honest person strives to preserve it. This aspect provides the opportunity for the successful and constructive application of a person’s will toward the development of life in the areas ruled by the Planet. The individual will not feel direct pressure from circumstances compelling them toward action, but will instead experience an impulse of inner vitality that seems to invite their involvement in issues related to revitalizing underdeveloped forms within the Planet’s spheres. These matters will not seem foreign, but closely connected to the person personally. Indeed, participation in the development of life within the Planet’s domains promises not only success in the endeavor itself, but also significant support in personal self-expression. Ultimately, the person may come to feel within themselves a truly human principle guiding the evolution of lower life forms. With a harmonious Sun, this is a very favorable aspect; the person can achieve much if they overcome their laziness. Affliction of the Sun may lead initiative in the wrong direction, or external objective conditions may distort it, greatly hindering the person’s attempts to participate in the development of life within the Planet’s spheres. And if the aspect itself is afflicted, without special work on the tridecile, its assistance will initially have a destructive character, even with the best intentions. Tridecile of Neptune: To understand means to incorporate into one’s karmic program. When properly worked with, this aspect allows deep involvement in the problems of life and its development within the Planet’s spheres, awakening and realizing a cosmic love for this life, through the expression of which the person discovers their true human essence. Affliction of Neptune may produce a strong (often irrational) sense of guilt toward life processes in the Planet’s domain and an unhealthy attitude toward corresponding issues. The person will perceive them with significant distortions, sympathizing inappropriately and helping where help is not needed. A harmonious Neptune initially brings a pure ecstasy from the mere idea of participating in the life of the Planet’s spheres, allowing the person to engage with reasonable success, though superficially (if they wish and circumstances do not obstruct). However, the harmonious Neptune may smooth over or camouflage the person’s main issues and acute developmental challenges. This aspect has a weak protective effect, but its primary manifestations are the possibility of sincere and loving assistance within the life developing in the Planet’s spheres, through which the person may find indirect happiness.
