When Neptune aspects your natal Venus…

…your sensitivity and compassion towards others increases. Neptune represents delusion, illusion, dreams, addictions, and self-sacrifice. Under this influence, you are especially charming, romantic, and open to love.

Due to an increase in sensitivity, you are easily seduced during this time, as well. You are vulnerable to romantic fantasy and over-idealizing partners, so be careful to see partners for who they are. Under this influence, you are more likely to “see what you want” in partners, which can often lead to disappointment once the transit is over.

Under this transit, we are wearing rose-colored glasses; we see beauty in all people, and only want to think the best of them. Either way, you open your heart during this transit, which gives you the opportunity to experience the purest form of love you could ever have.

This influence often brings a relationship into our lives, and we often believe this person is our soul mate. We idealize the person and make excuses for their faults, and ignore indications that the person is anything less than perfect. Relationship behaviors we would not normally approve of are now regarded as acceptable.

 

 

If the aspect is a conjunction, square, or opposition, the native must be extra careful to not over-idealize the partner and ignore red flags, as the threat of deception is strong. As Neptune moves away from Venus, the native becomes less enchanted by their mate; the native begins to see the person as they really are, which often leads to disappointment.

The end of the transit can also manifest in the discovery of infidelity on the part of the partner; the native ignored red flags and made excuses for their partner’s behavior instead of facing the truth about the situation.

The partners you find under this influence are generally Piscean, or have strong Neptune in the chart. The Synastry and Composite charts generally have strong Neptune or Pisces aspects/placements.
