Sextile between Neptune and Pluto in the Astrology Chart

The sextile (an aspect of opportunity) between Neptune and Pluto has been in effect from the late 1940’s and lasts approximately 100 years; therefore, most everyone alive today is affected by this connection. The outer planets move very slowly. As a result, the aspects to the outer planets are generational. The strongest affects would have been felt from the inception of the aspect into the early 1990’s. During most of this period, the orb of this aspect was only out by no more than 4 degrees, and anyone who has this aspect in there Natal Chart within a couple of degrees would be strongly influenced by it.

This is considered a strongly mystical connection and if the rest of the Chart agrees, this individual would be very sensitive to outside influences, and would be able to pick up the subtlest of vibrations from those around them. They would have a mystical lean and clairvoyant ability as well as psychic inclinations. Most with this aspect being tight in the Natal Chart would have a very creative streak. They will be required to act and respond to life’s situations merely by the use of their intuition. Watch for the aspect between these two planetary giants becoming direct (moving into a tight orb, or distance from one another) during progression as these abilities we refer to will surface or intensify.

These are idealistic people that believe in themselves and depend primarily on themselves. They are highly motivated, self-initiative and self-contained, unless the Chart dictates otherwise through other contacts or placements. They will seize opportunities, and because of the sextile, will have the potential to make things work and to be in the right place at the right time. They truly believe they are an instrument of ethic and moral standards. They will try their best to be a motivational factor for others. There are some that pave the way for others and appear to be extreme individuals. They are “all in” or “not in at all”. There are no half measures with these individuals that choose to pursue their calling. They consider life a major challenge, but will move forward with a positivity that often assists them in their endeavours.

On the negative side, some lack perspective and their high ideals can be centred on their own egotism. They become so self-reliant that they will not take advice and they believe that their way of thinking is the only way and all others should mirror their belief structure. They become so closed in their thinking that they only will rely on “self”. As a result, they close the door to furthering their evolutionary path. They are, however, usually very honest and forthright and will be admired for this by many.

The individuals that display either side of these qualities have a commonality in that they will attempt to stimulate the evolutionary process through self-exploration and will progress towards that given goal, with thoughts of aiding humanity and bringing people together. However, as expressed in the beginning of this post, these individuals must have other factors within the framework of their personal Birth Chart to use these facets to their fullest. Everyone, however, has the potential to awaken this mystical leaning inherent in us all.
