Jupiter Sextile Neptune Synastry

Jupiter sextile Neptune in synastry means one partner's Jupiter sits about 60° from the other's Neptune (orb ±6°), an angle read as ease. It turns up in 6.81% of couples born within five years of each other.

Jupiter and Neptune stood 60° apart in the sky in 1942–43, 1947–48, 1955–56, 1960–61 and 7 other stretches, so people born then carry the angle in their own chart. Between two people the share stays near the geometry, 0.1 points above it. The age gap changes little: 6.44% to 7% at any gap up to 40 years.

By sign

Which signs make Jupiter sextile Neptune, generation by generation

To check it by degree: Neptune at 10° Virgo makes the sextile with Jupiter anywhere from 4° to 16° of Cancer or Scorpio — the 60° angle give or take 6°.

Neptune (years) Jupiter that makes the sextile
Neptune in Virgo1928–43 Jupiter in Cancer or Scorpio
Neptune in Libra1942–57 Jupiter in Leo or Sagittarius
Neptune in Scorpio1955–70 Jupiter in Virgo or Capricorn
Neptune in Sagittarius1970–84 Jupiter in Libra or Aquarius
Neptune in Capricorn1984–98 Jupiter in Scorpio or Pisces
Neptune in Aquarius1998–2012 Jupiter in Aries or Sagittarius

The table goes by sign, but the sextile also forms across a sign line: Neptune at 1° Virgo and Jupiter at 29° Libra are 58° apart, a semi-sextile by sign.

Birth years that give Jupiter sextile Neptune by sign, 1940–2010
Birth years that give Jupiter sextile Neptune by sign, 1940–2010 Shaded: birth-year pairs from 1940 to 2010 where Neptune and Jupiter fall in signs that form the aspect — 16.1% of all year pairs; 13 of 71 same-year pairs. 19401940196019601980198020002000Born with Neptune there (year) →Partner born with Jupiter (year) ↓Source: NASA JPL DE440, sign on July 1astrohot.com

Shaded: 16.1% of all pairs of birth years from 1940 to 2010. On the diagonal, where both partners were born in the same year, 13 of the 71 years qualify.

Between two people

What does Jupiter sextile Neptune mean in synastry?

Shared faith, compassion, creative vision and charitable instincts. The pair are drawn to causes, art or spiritual practice, and they bring out each other's kindness. Both planets are slow, so the contact is partly generational; it shows best when the pair put their ideals into practice together.

The usual mistake

Where does Jupiter sextile Neptune usually go wrong?

Ideals stay ideals. The pair share a vision of doing good and never decide what, concretely, they will do.

Over time

How Jupiter sextile Neptune plays out over time

  1. Early on. Shared ideals, faith or creative vision bring the pair together.
  2. Under pressure. In hard times compassion and generosity carry them, especially toward others.
  3. Years in. The bond often centers on causes or art; it deepens when the ideals turn into concrete acts.

Jupiter and Neptune at other angles

At any angle: Jupiter meets Neptune — belief meets imagination. Both are slow enough that part of this contact is shared by people born a few years apart; personally it describes idealism, spirituality and generosity shared by the pair.
