A current transit reveals how the current position of a planet or point interacts with your birth chart, highlighting areas where action or growth is needed.
A semisquare is a challenging aspect that indicates a conflict of energy between two planets. It is a negative aspect that indicates tension and obstacles in the areas of life that the planets represent.
Although this aspect is present in your chart, it does not dominate your experiences. Its influence is more subtle and understated. This means that while this interaction between Neptune and Ascendant does have an effect on your personality and life path, it is not overwhelming or forceful.
Transiting Neptune is often associated with dreams, illusions, spirituality, and a sense of dissolving boundaries. When Neptune forms a semisquare aspect with the Ascendant, it tends to bring confusion and idealism into one’s self-image and outward personality. This aspect can create a haze over how one perceives oneself or presents oneself to others. A person might find that interactions are more fraught with misunderstandings during this time, as personal projections become clouded by Neptunian fog.
The energy of this semisquare aspect can be challenging due to its subtle but persistent nature. Rather than being sharp or overtly confrontational, it creates an underlying tension that subtly disrupts harmony in daily interactions. Emotions may feel diffuse and the sense of identity can waver between different states of consciousness. It is important for someone experiencing this transit to be mindful of tendencies toward escapism or deceit—intentional or unintentional—as well as heightened sensitivities to external influences that could blur their own authentic expression. This period emphasizes the need for grounding practices to counterbalance Neptune's ethereal influence on one's outward demeanor and personal presentation.
