Neptune is a strange planet-it represents our psychic side and our subconscious. This is a side of ourselves that society tries to stifle, and we don’t usually try to fight against that. Being sensitive, intuitive, and empathetic can often be discouraged by society, and therefore, we don’t usually work on that side of ourselves. But when we feel Neptune’s influence, we can’t hide it or fight it. Neptune will bring out our subconscious and force us to confront anything that we usually try to brush under. It can make us feel very exposed and vulnerable, so it’s best to be prepared. On December 30, the sun moves into a sextile aspect with Neptune. Here a few things you can expect under sun sextile Neptune.
- You’ll experience heightened sensitivity.
This is a classic aspect of Neptune’s influence. Neptune can cause us to feel a lot more sensitive to everything around us than we usually would. This includes everything from what we experience through our five senses-food might taste better, colors might seem brighter-to what we experience on a psychological level. You might find yourself feeling other peoples’ emotions, which can really confuse you! Keeping a journal to keep track of your own emotions can be extremely helpful during this time.
- Your energy levels will probably be a little lower than usual.
Feeling so much can take a lot out of you. The heightened sensitivity caused by this aspect can sap your energy-or maybe you’re just exhausted from all the holiday madness that is finally about to subside! Take good care of yourself during this aspect. You’re probably physically and mentally drained for a variety of reasons, so don’t feel guilty about skipping out on New Year’s festivities and similar events. If you need to rest and take some time off, by all means do so!
- Don’t be shy about expressing your feelings.
Being more sensitive, absorbing other people’s emotional energy, and feeling a little more tired than usual can leave you feeling pretty emotional yourself! You don’t have to feel shy about this. Find a good friend or trusted relative and just spill your guts if you have to. Being emotional is nothing to be ashamed of-after all, you can blame Neptune for this. Plus, it’s kind of expected at the end of December. The holidays and the approaching new year can mess with everyone’s feelings sometimes.
- You might have vivid dreams.
One of the coolest things about Neptune’s influence is its impact on our dreams. Neptune is sometimes known as the planet of dreams, and its influence can cause our subconscious to go a little crazy at night! Definitely do not forget to put your dream journal under your pillow during sun sextile Neptune, because you never know what your mind will come up with when you’re sleeping-and you don’t want to forget! Keep a pen close by to write down your thoughts if your dreams wake you up in the middle of the night.
