Transit Neptune Trine Ascendant: A Gentle Presence, a Fluid Self

Transit Neptune trine Ascendant is a flowing period that lends a person's appearance and manner a compassionate, intuitive and magnetic quality. When Neptune forms a 120-degree angle to the Ascendant, it is usually moving through the area of the 5th or 9th house, so creativity, romance, pleasure, faith and distant horizons flow in harmony with the 1st house themes of self-presentation.

What does transit Neptune trine Ascendant bring?

The person feels less defensive, and others relax in their company. An artistic gift such as music, dance, film or poetry finds natural expression. A journey, a retreat or meeting a spiritual teacher can soften the way they see themselves. In romance they dream more and are dreamed about more; that can be lovely, as long as they also see the real person in front of them. The body generally responds well to rest, swimming and yoga.

How long does transit Neptune trine Ascendant last?

The aspect is usually felt for one to two years, and three passes are common because of retrograde motion. A softening begins as it approaches, inspiration and charm peak at the exact passes, and as it separates this new atmosphere has become part of the personality.

Not wasting the ease

The risk of a trine is that comfort turns into laziness. Because things feel good, the person may see no need to change anything, and so leave the gift of the period behind. Turning inspiration into a portfolio, an exhibition, a piece of writing or a regular, healthy rhythm makes this rare generosity from Neptune last.
