Pluto sextile Neptune denotes a time when you will become more concerned with mystical and otherworldly ideas and beliefs. You will want to explore the hidden depths of existence and have experiences that are profound and revealing. If you are ready, your experiences may be very enlightening and give you great understanding about your own life and about the lives of others.
Even if you are not inclined to study the occult, this transit will awaken you to the more spiritual dimensions of existence. If you are so inclined, it will involve you in the occult or spiritual movement as well. A materialistic view of the universe will no longer seem satisfactory, and you will be aware that other elements of existence are in many ways stronger than material concerns.
The mysteries of life and death are not abstractions to you anymore but are directly and immediately relevant to your own life. This does not mean that you have to worry about your own death particularly, but you will refuse to accept any explanation of the world that begs the question of the meaning of life and death. [Planets in Transit, Robert Hand, 1976, p.515.]

Allô Jamie,
It’s always a pleasure to read your material. I like your graph even though it starts 13 months after I was born. My personal interest in things esoteric began in ernest in 1974 when I was 26, considerably earlier than the average of 50 for people born around my year of birth (Dec 1948). I’m 77 now. In the intervening years I have consistently advanced in the spiritual, esoteric, meditative, healing, higher frequency dimensions of life. Even though we see society unraveling in so many ways, I think your followers would benefit from knowing there are hundreds of thousands of quiet people like me out there who aren’t covered in the media, who regularly send out good vibes of light, love, tolerance and healing.
Derek
Thank you, Derek. 13 months ain’t too much in the big scheme of things, hey?
I don’t know if I wanted it but I got it anyway. Taking care of mom with dementia. Had to go to her level of understanding. Or she dragged me there. One thing she did: I would be sleeping in the middle of the night and would wake up and she would be standing over me with her walker saying where’s B (my dead dad). So I was often awakened to my subconscious.
Oddly enough I spent alot of time with Hand’s transit book at that time. In some way I don’t really understand, I found the path I would take when the caretaking was done.
Perhaps it was good prep for Neptune soon squaring my Saturn. That’s a lulu.
Hi Vic. Many people are forced into spiritual development this way. With the aging population, more and more young people without skills are finding their only employment option in nursing homes.
What is that about? Is it fated or what. This particular time frame , i was flying g by the seat of my pants in uncharted waters. All I could do was the right things for the right reason. It’s all I had. And it came out good I think.
Hi Jamie. What do you mean by ‘the spiritual dimensions of existence’? That’s very Neptunian; I mean, vague and possibly misleading. There is a whole generation that has a natal Neptune/Pluto sextile, which is more potent and long-lasting than the transit. Many of that generation have been or are in places of power and influence, like politics, business, and organized religion. Has that sextile enlightened people in mass? Facts on the ground say no. On an individual level? Maybe, but maybe not. In the ‘60’s, drugs were considered a doorway to higher consciousness, but Neptune is hard to see through, and Pluto usually misbehaves. Maybe, in a quiet hour, we should just beg the question and question the meaning of life and death for our higher Neptune/Pluto journey. The quality of our life and death depends on it. As far as ‘true’ spirituality is concerned, I heard it goes something like this: Spirituality is like a balloon. When you put effort into it, it appears to expand. But too much effort and the balloon will burst. And when the balloon bursts, you will find there is nothing really there. Maybe the balloon was just an illusion all along the way. So… just “chop wood and carry water”. (Ram Dass, Be Here Now.)
Hi Dennis. These are Robert Hand’s words. “Spiritual dimensions of existence” is vague but could mean anything from intuition to psychic visions, from telepathy to mass consciousness. And it goes on. The effects of this aspect/transit are difficult to research because they are often subtle and not even noticed consciously by individuals.
The strangest thing that happened during that time was the priest from the church that would visit. I found out he had actually been involved in exorcisms at the place in Rome. I am not actually into debils or any of that. But I gotta say, that guy could move energy. I saw it and I felt it.
