Neptune sextile Pluto
Neptune sextile Pluto: belief and deep change in a sextile that has lasted since the 1940s, shared by most people alive today.
Meaning
Pluto, swinging close to the Sun around 1989, kept pace with Neptune for decades. The sextile has therefore held from the 1940s into the 2030s, exact in the 1950s, from 1976 to 1986 and again from 2026. With Ulune’s 6° orb, charts from about 1993 to 2019 show it for only part of each year.
How collective imagination meets deep transformation: long generational shifts in beliefs, spirituality and what a society holds sacred.
Neptune and Pluto have been in a long sextile since the mid-twentieth century, so most people born since then have it, within a few degrees (with Ulune’s 6° orb it drops out for part of some years between about 1993 and 2019); their trine last formed in the eighteenth century, so no one alive has that. It matters personally mainly when it touches personal planets or angles. There it can show as a quiet ability to turn ideals into lasting change, as in healing or social work.
In practice
A sextile rewards initiative. The link is there, but it tends to stay dormant unless you use it — take the class, make the call, try the combination. People often discover their sextiles once they start acting on small openings.
