(Transit. Uranus → Natal Neptune)

If Uranus and Neptune have a conjunction with the cusp of an angular house – genius. Talent in art, imagination; engagement in occultism.

Katrin Aubier. Astrological Dictionary

Uranus Sextile: As genius breaks through in a person, it actively hinders him from breaking through to others. Sextiles of outer planets offer opportunities that not every person will seize. Specifically, a Uranus sextile provides good ideas (which, however, require significant development for their realization) only to a person who has worked through the Planet’s principle to a sufficiently high level. Then he begins to appreciate the often overly original ideas that Uranus sends him. Of course, a Uranus sextile makes the Planetary principle not boring for a person, sometimes even very much so, but one needs to learn to perceive Uranian influences according to their true worth; at the beginning of the working through process, there will be much foolish eccentricity, behind which there is nothing, and a few potentially creative ideas that, however, require careful verification and formulation. A Uranus sextile is an invitation to great creativity in the spheres ruled by the Planet, but not a ready gift of this creativity. Working through here gives a truly creative nature and a constant creative choice, which distinguishes a true artist, and at a high level, also the ability to unlock this gift in other people. At a low level, a person does not understand the actions and opportunities provided by Uranus; they seem to him like beautiful or partly frightening, but meaningless and useless sparklers, or, if Uranus is afflicted, sometimes take on the character of an overvalued idea. Here, the working through begins with a person learning to perceive Uranian manifestations (unusual events, etc.) in the sphere of the Planet as signs of destiny, indicating the possibility of constructive and potentially creative application of their strengths; as the working through progresses, the person gradually learns the language of Uranian signs and hints (peculiar to their own destiny) and begins to use them practically. However, a person will always feel the urge for this; at the very least, conventional behavior in relevant situations is very boring to them. Neptune Sextile: If you can understand – understand, for there will be no other such opportunity. A Neptune sextile gives a person opportunities for true understanding of the Planet’s principle, but they require a certain effort from them, often not of the kind the person is ready for or accustomed to. Neptune causes distortions of reality, both external and internal, and working through the sextile means moving away from crude distortions and illusions, which are called deception and self-deception, towards subtle ones; some of them are called art, others – meditation, a third – prayer… Therefore, the choice offered by a Neptune sextile often has the character of a crude temptation; by sincerely rejecting it (which may require a great deal of internal effort and processing), a person receives from Neptune a more subtle distortion and a more subtle temptation, and so on. At some point, the level and way of seeing the Planetary principle suddenly become such that they can be a revelation for other people – if the person manages to convey their vision to them, which also requires certain effort. At a high level, a Neptune sextile gives a subtle understanding of the Planetary principle and its inclusion in such vibrations of the energy flow that an impression of revelation or a religious miracle arises. At the same time, the person may be poorly aware of exactly what and why they are doing it, but the feeling of the flow’s height and simultaneously strong resistance of the material will be indirect signs of the perfection achieved. At a low level, a Neptune sextile offers many opportunities for deception and self-deception, but also a feeling of attraction from the Planet, a sense of ecstasy when mastering its principle. However, this will require much effort, and especially the development of internal honesty in evaluating one’s real achievements. If the Planet is afflicted, it is possible to escape troubles into a world of illusions, in which Neptune will, of course, help, but later harsh disappointments or blows of fate will begin. False pity differs from true compassion, which a person feels perfectly when they are directed at them.
