Neptune – MC (Midheaven) Sextile – The Gift of Compassion

The Meridian of the Midheaven in the Tenth House shows a person’s calling. Many people wonder about the meaning of life and why they exist on Earth at all. Aspects with the outer planets raise such philosophical questions especially sharply, since these planets require a high spiritual level in order to embody karmic tasks. Neptune blurs the idea of social status, even in the initially positive interpretation of the sextile.

This is a gift of creativity, intuition, and compassion for those who suffer. At the same time, however, it encourages the native to build castles in the air, lie, and manipulate people in order to rise above them. More than others, aspect holders need to declare themselves publicly and become known; otherwise, at a low level of awareness, they may invent stories about themselves, imaginary acquaintances with celebrities, and journeys that existed only in their imagination. Sooner or later, the deception will be revealed and will seriously damage their reputation.

The Influence of the Neptune – MC Sextile on Destiny

The native’s main talent lies in highly developed intuition. Men and women with this aspect seem equally able to read information directly from the subtle planes. Interestingly, almost all of them write poetry from childhood, yet cannot retell what they have written from memory. This happens because those under the influence of the sextile are connected to a creative stream and simply record what is already in the air.

Interesting ideas, plots, and strategies come to them near water, whether in the shower or on the ocean shore. The main problem is making themselves sit down at a desk and begin working; after that, the information streams activate automatically. These are born poets, writers, photographers, and actors with an intuitive understanding of a role. When they step onto the stage or stand in front of a camera, they do not know exactly how they will perform, but once they begin, a vivid image is born.

In business, they do not strive for the director’s chair, but they stand close to leadership and suggest suitable paths for development. Thanks to the ability to sense the moods of others, they know what needs to be said at a particular moment and quickly move toward the intended goal. It is also important to consider other factors in the influence of the Neptune – MC sextile:

• idealism, peacemaking, fantasies mistaken for reality, and an inflated sense of self-importance;
• a desire to help the offended and oppressed, engagement in charity, and material support for loved ones at the first request, unless Virgo or Capricorn is in the First, Third, or Eighth Houses;
• interest in big money and a need to earn a lot not out of greed, but in order to have something to share;
• a harmonious home atmosphere, despite a dislike of cleaning; a desire to live near water, while life in cities without a river or at least a pond truly prevents the sextile from activating fully;
• fear of direct confrontation with competitors, avoidance of quarrels and relationship showdowns;
• early interest in religion, occultism, and astrology;
• withdrawal and shyness in communication with arrogant and self-confident people.

For natives with the Neptune – MC sextile, working and communicating with negative, toxic people is contraindicated because of their innate empathy. They automatically connect to negativity and may even become ill, not to mention having their plans destroyed and their dreams left unfulfilled. They need to seek a benevolent team.

Personal Relationships

Gifted representatives of this aspect find it easy to love the whole world, but difficult to reconcile themselves with the imperfections of a specific person. The native’s mother was most likely a creative and religious person, while also being absent-minded and not very punctual. She made every effort to develop the child’s talents, but probably did not teach the native how to create within specific deadlines.

If Saturn and Mercury are strong in the natal chart, then, in most cases, the streams of Neptunian energy are balanced, which also prevents the native from rushing headlong into workplace romances. Working with a boss will be difficult. As a rule, owners of the Neptune – MC sextile end up with managers who constantly change their plans, allow themselves to be late, and give urgent assignments at the very last moment.

The person with this aspect is also not opposed to enjoying the fruits of a glamorous career, shining in public, and receiving dividends. Indeed, there is something special and magnetic for the crowd in men and women with the Neptune – Midheaven sextile.

With effort, the native can become a president, actor, photo model, or television journalist.

Practical Realization of the Neptune – MC Sextile

The career should be connected with a field where imagination is actively involved. This does not mean fruitless daydreaming, but the practical embodiment of dreams. This may include not only the dream factory, painting, photography, ballet, and music, but also building a business from scratch.

Neptune is also considered a planet of big money, but only when that money is used selflessly for the benefit of society. Professions connected with the sea and water travel are ideal, as are tourism and the hotel business near the ocean. Ambition needs to be combined with a sincere desire to help others. This is not simple charity, but, for example, the creation of a sea-themed Disneyland or spa salons where everything is designed for visitors’ enjoyment.

It is important to protect one’s reputation and not trust leadership blindly, since there is a possibility of becoming a scapegoat in dark intrigues, especially if there are negative aspects from the Tenth House to the Twelfth. The person must not drift with the current or give in to despondency, because this will pull them into an empty swamp of illusions.

Jewelry with serpentine, aquamarine, larimar, blue agate, and green aventurine can help strengthen the Neptune – MC sextile.  ✓
