Venus opposition Neptune

Venus opposition Neptune causes considerable romantic feelings that complicate life and put these people into intricate situations. They often give priority to their own fantasies over reality. Esoteric activities sometimes become more important to them than the reality and take away considerable amounts of energy from the relationship. These people should try to be more rational and have "thick skin". They are usually very lazy. For artists, this aspect brings inspiration, creativity, imagination, and very good taste. Born with Venus opposition Neptune, you have lessons to learn in balancing the ideals of your imagination with the actual reality of your relationships and life circumstances. You are a dreamer who can yearn for the rainbow or greener grass of a different reality. Your inner visions inform your creative process, and when you’re in the flow, it’s as if inspiration is welling up from within like a replenishing spring. However, at times you can be overly optimistic about what is possible for you to do within the limitations of your material circumstances. This brings a need to be more realistic in your path toward manifesting your dreams. You are capable of immense love and devotion within your relationships. But due to your propensity for desiring the idyllic and perceiving the highest potential of others, you also tend to be attracted to people whose reality contrasts with your impression of them. With experience, you will learn how to be more discerning and form healthier boundaries within your relationships.

Venus opposition Neptune

Venus opposition Neptune creates a struggle to get what you most want: romance, harmony, and perhaps a little glamour and luxury. These things are achievable, but much work must be done to overcome disappointment and dissolution with love and money. You may suffer from low self-image, especially when young. You may fear you are not worthy enough to have an affectionate and caring partner who loves you for who you are. You may make significant sacrifices to keep your ideal partner and end up feeling unhappy or being used. You may also likely fantasize about or over-idealize a partner, then feel gutted when they don’t meet your expectations. Such disappointment in your love life stems from the same problems as any financial loss, such as being conned or blindly investing in dubious schemes. The significant issues with Venus opposite Neptune start with your self-image. Working hard to improve how you love yourself is critical to achieving your dreams. Neptune rules the stage, screen, mirrors, ocean, and spirituality. These give clues about how to increase the amount of love you have for yourself. You can find deeper self-love through a more spiritual approach to life. It may be that stripping off in front of the mirror or webcam gives you the self-confidence you need. Dance, music, surfing or swimming are the kinds of activities that can promote self-love and joy. You could try adorning your body with jewellery or tattoos or pay extra attention to fashion and cosmetics. Decorating your home or workspace will replace Neptune’s illusions and fears with natural beauty.

Venus opposition Neptune tends to manifest in your life through an underlying suspicion and distrust of others. This may be based on past experiences of deception or feeling let down by others. The result is a projection of this mistrust onto the world, which often leads to conflicts and tension. Your heightened emotional sensitivity and vulnerability, influenced by Neptune, can create unconscious patterns and fantasies that distort your perception of reality. This can result in unstable moods and uncertainty in your feelings, affecting your intimate relationships. It is important to recognize that the enemy you often project onto others is hidden within yourself. Patterns of victimization and sacrifice may emerge, where you exploit your seductive powers for self-gratification. This can lead to addictive tendencies related to substances, such as alcohol and drugs, as well as sensual preoccupation. To navigate these challenges, greater clarity and honesty in relationships are needed. Recognizing and understanding your projections is the first step towards healing and creating healthier dynamics in your intimate connections. Trust may be a casualty, but by addressing these issues, you can foster variety and uniqueness in your experiences. Reflect on how your past experiences of deception and distrust have shaped your current patterns of relating. What steps can you take to cultivate trust and honesty in your relationships, while also recognizing and addressing your own inner projections? With Venus opposition Neptune, your projections about the person you love frequently overshadow the real person. Even though you may not want to admit it, you are more likely to see only what you want to see when you’re in love. That feeling of being transported into another world when you’re in love is actually quite accurate. But it’s not the person who’s gotten you there all by themselves, it’s the energy inside you that allows you to soar! It’s not easy to separate your dream lover from the real person standing before you.

Natives with hard Venus opposition Neptune are naturally compassionate and are generally willing to go over the top for a loved one.

Venus opposition Neptune aspect indicates a suggestible romantic nature. Being “in love with love” is a strong possibility. Natives with hard Venus-Neptune aspects are naturally compassionate and are generally willing to go over the top for a loved one. It’s hard to say whether their expectations in personal relationships are too high or too low. On the one hand, they tend to easily accept behaviours in their partners that others wouldn’t accept, as they are compassionate and even drawn to people who others might consider trouble. On the other hand, their romantic dreams may be so powerful that they are easily disappointed with the reality of relationships. Deception in love is possible, but self-deception is even more likely. In love, they see what they want to see, rather than what is. Feelings of being used or deceived may come up for these people more than for most. However, if a distinct pattern exists in their love lives that involves them being let down, deceived or used, it will be especially worthwhile to examine whether self-deception was at work. The possibility of clinging to romantic delusions is very high with this position. For example, some with these aspects cling to a romantic notion that someone loves them when in reality that person doesn’t return the affection. Or, they may cling to a romance that has lost all hope. Another possibility is devoting their love to someone who is unattainable or who is unable to commit.

Under the influence of Venus opposition Neptune, you may always project some of your own power and tenderness onto the person you love. As long as you can allow the reality of the person to emerge into your field of vision, you stand a chance of having a relationship which can truly serve both your needs. Otherwise, you may fall into the trap of delusion, deception or emotional abuse. Just because they’re the most gorgeous person you’ve ever seen, it may not necessarily follow that they are what you really need, or that they’re REAL for that matter! In all your attempts to become as beautiful as possible, just to make sure that the right person will be attracted to you, you can also lose yourself. You really do not have to sacrifice yourself to know love, but when your heart is filled with love, you’re willing to drop all your boundaries and merge completely. There’s a difference between a soul connection and co-dependency or emotional addiction. It’s drawing the line that’s difficult. By allowing for periods of privacy and contemplation, you can maintain your connection to your own inner self, which will allow you to keep your emotional boundaries reasonably intact. Venus is the planet of love and affection, while Neptune is that of fantasy and dreams. Anything that Neptune touches gets diluted and cover in mist. Natives of Venus opposition Neptune can often find themselves at a crossroad, between Venus' love or Neptune's illusions and dreamy claws. This can make them indecisive in this area, like all opposition aspects do. They may lead towards one planet and neglect the other. The way to deal with this is take the middle road and find balance between these two options.

Another Venus opposition Neptune scenario is loving someone who treats them badly, all the while clinging to an idealized image of the partner. No matter what the scenario, romantic yearning and longing, as well as delusion, tends to be the theme. The expectation here is that loving someone requires self-sacrifice. The result is an attraction to relationships that are co-dependent and even abusive. Venus opposition Neptune people are drawn to victim/saviour relationships, and they can play either the role of victim or saviour. Dependency or neediness in a partner can be confused for love. In an attempt to love unconditionally, they may too readily sacrifice their own needs and eventually feel used. The challenge for these people is to truly love a partner for who he or she is, not for his or her perceived potential. Because they yearn to be loved, it can be hard for them to see that they are actually afraid of a complete, committed relationship. One symptom of this fear is loving someone for an idealized image they have of that person, as they are effectively choosing fantasy over reality. Another symptom is loving someone who is inaccessible or unattainable, as this keeps them “safe” from a true and realistic commitment. At the root of this fear is the awareness of their own vulnerability in love. Venus rules money as well as social relationships, and a person with hard Venus-Neptune aspects can just as well lose money due to the tendency to gloss over problems. Just as they tend to ignore warning signs in personal relationships, they can let money slip through their fingers because they neglect to keep records or account for their belongings. It’s also possible they have problems with borrowing from their future because of overly optimistic attitudes. They may continuously get the short end of the stick as they lend money to people who never pay them back, or invest in unrealistic projects.
