Venus – Neptune Sextile – Creators as if by Magic

A sextile is a favorable aspect that connects two planets at an angle of 60 degrees. It shows the need to reveal the best astrological qualities of the planets involved in the tandem, according to the signs they occupy. The Higher Powers have generously endowed a person with the bright Venus – Neptune union with talents in the spheres of art, religion, literature, and medicine.

If the native rejects these abilities because of their inherent vulnerability and laziness, they may sink into helplessness and poverty, suffering from psychological disturbances. Yet when these gifts are expressed, they help the person become a star of artistic creativity or a healer who saves the world from dark forces.

The Pros and Cons of the Venus – Neptune Sextile

The native’s sensitivity and dreaminess help them sense good prospects for upward movement in time, intuitively predict fashion trends, and appear in the right place to meet useful people. A person with the Venus – Neptune sextile possesses a certain kind of magic: by imagining what they desire in detail and immersing themselves in fantasy with a sense of reality, they materialize the dream.

With strong planetary positions, the native may not even need to knock on doors or work hard: everything seems to flow into their hands by itself. If Neptune is afflicted, perception of the world becomes distorted, touchiness intensifies, and minor troubles are perceived as heavy suffering. People with this aspect often suffer from guilt and pray for forgiveness of sins, regularly attending church. The best approach is to release tension through creativity — music, drawing, dance — and to study the strengths and weaknesses of the Venus – Neptune sextile in order to enhance the advantages and harmonize the drawbacks:

• otherworldly charm, a melodious voice, flowing speech, and smoothness of movement;
• intuition bordering on clairvoyance, and the ability to read the mood and thoughts of a conversation partner on the level of feeling;
• artistic giftedness and a subtle understanding of art, psychology, and emotional experiences;
• an easy ability to establish friendly and business contacts, readiness to help, comfort, and solve other people’s problems;
• success in organizing cultural and charitable events, as well as in pedagogy and medicine;
• a thirst for love like in novels and melodramas, a need for unusual emotional and physical experiences, and attraction to unconventional partners;
• a tendency toward emotional, alcohol, or drug dependence, infantilism, pessimism, and vulnerability.

A person with the Venus – Neptune sextile needs to develop practicality by deliberately grounding themselves through simple earthly pleasures: buying pleasant little things, talking with friends about everyday matters, and not only about religious or exalted themes. Working through Venus also takes place through public speaking and presenting creative work to a wide audience.

Love Relationships with the Venus – Neptune Sextile

The mystical quality of the native’s consciousness seeks magic in light infatuation and deliberately creates it in serious relationships. The ideal union is one in which the partner has a similar sextile, and two creators merge in the ecstasy of universal love. However, subtle perception helps the native attune to any person, intuitively understanding their type of thinking and giving them the necessary peace and healing through their own restorative energy.

A good union is possible with a person who has Venus in Taurus, Libra, or Leo. Marriage with a person who has an afflicted Neptune, however, is dangerous because of the risk of alcoholism or the destruction of the nervous system by association, since the native unconsciously identifies with the loved one. It is good if the Sun sign is in the element of Fire or Earth, creating a stable balance in the personality.

A person with the Venus – Neptune sextile meets others under unusual circumstances or in places connected with Neptune: in a church, theater, museum, on a film set, or on a ship. The water element awakens in the native a passion for life and creativity. The desire to make humanity happy makes them a fortunate writer, politician, or physician, especially if there is a loving, loyal, and, most importantly, practical companion nearby.

The Venus – Neptune Sextile in a Child’s Horoscope

A child with the Venus – Neptune sextile resembles a little angel and appeals to others at first sight. The child is always in a good mood, strives to help adults, and constantly dreams. From an early age, the young native begins to express emotions through painting and poetry, quickly learns songs, and shows interest in playing musical instruments. The child is sociable and easily finds friends in any group. Religion also attracts them, and it is better for parents to satisfy this curiosity through appropriate literature than to allow the child to explore occult disciplines independently.

If the planets are harmonious, negativity rolls off the child’s soul like dew from a cabbage leaf. But with a weak Neptune, timidity appears, along with lying for no reason and dependence on the opinion of a stronger companion. As the native grows up, a person with the Venus – Neptune sextile strives to become an ideal of beauty and gain public recognition in fashion as a model, artist’s model, actor, or designer. By succeeding in these fields, the native becomes more confident.  ✓
