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 sesquiquadrate 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.
When transiting Neptune is in a sesquiquadrate aspect to the Ascendant, there can be an increased sense of confusion and lack of clarity about self-identity and personal direction. Neptune embodies qualities like illusion, mystery, dreams, and spirituality. This transit can lead to challenges in understanding how one presents oneself to the world or perceives one's path forward. There may be instances of feeling overly idealistic and disconnected from reality, which could result in making decisions based on fantasy rather than practicality.
The sesquiquadrate aspect is considered a minor challenging angle that often brings friction but also opportunities for growth through overcoming difficulties. The presence of this aspect creates inner tension that needs resolution. There might be susceptibility to deception—either self-deception or being misled by others—as well as a tendency towards escapism when faced with life's demands. At its best, this transit can inspire profound creativity and spiritual insight but necessitates mindfulness and grounding practices to avoid falling into disarray or neglecting responsibilities.
