Jupiter Square Neptune
Jupiter square Neptune pits big faith against bigger fog. Jupiter wants growth, meaning, and confidence, while Neptune dissolves edges, idealizes, and drifts toward dreams. When they clash by square, optimism can outrun reality, promises inflate, and boundaries blur. This aspect is fantastic for imagination, compassion, and spiritual search, but it needs firm anchors to avoid confusion, escapism, or risky bets. Expect inspiring visions paired with inconsistent follow‑through until you add structure. At its best, this aspect widens empathy and creative range; at its worst, it attracts mirages and moral gray zones. The work is simple to say and hard to do: believe, but verify; imagine, but measure; give, but with limits.

Transits: when Jupiter squares Neptune

Do
- Prototype creative or spiritual projects; soft launch rather than full send.
- Audit subscriptions, hidden fees, vague contracts.
- Practice sober generosity: give what you can verify and sustain.
Avoid
- All-or-nothing bets, miracle cures, or gurus with paywalls and no transparency.
- New debts signed under time pressure or intoxication.
- Blurring business and friendship without clear terms.
Timing note: orbs matter. If your chart has tight contacts to this square, the effect spikes near exact dates and when the square hits angles or personal planets.

- One sacred no each week: decline one draining ask to protect your yes.
