Sun sextile Neptune or Sun trine Neptune can be a wonderfully glamorous, charismatic, musical, poetic and highly imaginative combination… that comes with a price! Surprisingly it appears that the trine aspect especially can also be tinged with tragedy. The trine goes so easily with the flow that with Neptune it can make ones ego become too easily porous and suggestible.

The willpower is easily swayed by smoke and mirrors with this aspect which makes it hard for the native to resist drugs, alcohol and temptations of escapism. Once hooked they could find it far more difficult to quit than with a harder aspect.
Sun trine or sextile Neptune can have a need to worship the father, even if they are an abusive alcoholic, disappointing and distant. The foggy mist blurs out the ugly truth and a fantasy is created around him. All is well if Sun trine Neptune keeps the right company and would work exceptionally well on a spiritual path and in service to humanity as a whole.

Sun Sextile/Trine Neptune Transit
Sun sextile Neptune or Sun trine Neptune in the sky would be a fantastic energy for a fairytale children’s party with bouncy castles and elaborate Princess costumes. For adults this translates as a night at the opera or ballet. Embrace your inner child and allow your creativity to shine. Charity work is also well starred as are any artistic pursuits that raise money for good causes. Inspiration for poetry and dance is high too. So take time out to channel the muse!
Childlike Trickster
Sun sextile Neptune brings a touch of the childlike trickster to already nebulous Neptune. It gives these people an enchanting duplicity, a kind of Peter-Pan quality. Their imagination is kooky and poetic with a surreal edge.
The developing, blossoming feeling of the sextile can bring out the more deceptive qualities of Neptune however because the energies are unformed and unstable. Things can change with Neptunes tide at any moment. It seems to give its subjects a charming wit which lends itself to creative tale-telling! They are excitable romantics with a tendency to worship their lover.
