This takes place at 9:23 am ET, so won't be visible from most of the United States or Europe because it is daytime, possible to see in the early morning on the West Coast, in South America, or in Australia, India, other places where it’s night or just before dawn.
While Jupiter is visible without a telescope, Neptune is not, you may be able to see them together through binoculars.
Jupiter
Expansion, knowing, luck, abundance, generosity, optimism, virtue, ideals.
Jupiter has a Great Red Spot that resembles an eye, illustrating Jupiter’s association with right perception.
Neptune
Imagination, inspiration, imagery, fantasy, escape, sacrifice, deception, illusion, glamour.
Neptune’s color as captured by spacecraft is bright blue, and in Roman mythology Neptune is the god of the sea.
Pisces, the sign they are both in (and co-rule) is a mutable water sign associated with transcendence, and represents the dreamer, the mystic, and the poet.
Analysis
What these two planets have in common is an association with faith and surrender. Personally, I find myself facing unknowns and unable to manipulate the outcome the way I previously thought I could, so in this conjunction I find an invitation to let go. To take a leap of faith.
A good reflection question is, what do you believe in? Yourself? Your environment? If you were to believe it will all work out, how does that change things?
To see how this conjunction will affect you, look at your birth chart for any planets at exactly 23 degrees, or close.
Interpreting for your birth chart
For planets at or near 23 degrees,
Planets at (or near) 23 degrees in Pisces: Find relief or support in activities that are soothing to you, whether through visiting a waterfront, listening to beautiful music, or a spiritual practice such as meditation
Planets at (or near) 23 degrees in Virgo: Pay attention to closed doors that help redirect you
Planets at (or near) 23 degrees in Sagittarius (a Jupiter-ruled sign): Take an action to go out and see something new that will broaden your horizons and expand your perception
Planets at (or near) 23 degrees in Gemini: Bring voice to your needs or beliefs, speak up
Planets at (or near) 23 degrees in Cancer: Write down your dreams to better understand your needs
Planets at (or near) 23 degrees in Scorpio: Lean into your imagination for psychological healing
