Neptune in Libra: In Pursuit of Ideal Love and Peace

Neptune in Libra places relationships, harmony and peace at the center of a collective dream: this generation imagines an ideal partnership, a just world and perfect harmony. Neptune was in Libra roughly from 1942 to 1957, a generation that grew up with the postwar longing for peace.

What does Neptune in Libra look for in relationships?

Neptune idealizes, and Libra seeks completion and balance through the other. A Libra Neptune may believe in the idea of a soulmate, a love in which two people complete each other perfectly. That idealism adds deep meaning and compassion to relationships. When real relationships fall short of the ideal, though, disappointment can follow.

On a personal level, this placement can be associated with blurred boundaries in relationships. Idealizing a partner, not seeing their real face or losing oneself in the relationship are possible themes. Giving up one's own wishes to keep the peace can lead to a loss of identity over time. Trying to rescue a partner can be this placement's shadow.

Peace, justice and social harmony

A world without war, social harmony and justice can count among this generation's shared dreams. Peace movements and diplomatic solutions can be expressions of these ideals. The sense of justice is idealistic; combined with realistic steps, it can have a powerful effect.

Grace in art

A harmonious, elegant, romantic aesthetic can develop in music, painting, fashion and design. Beauty can be lived as a spiritual experience, and the beauty and harmony of a home can directly affect this generation's mood.

A real partnership is built by two imperfect people accepting each other as they are; that awareness is how this placement matures.

An aspect between Neptune and Venus strengthens these romantic themes personally. Neptune's house shows where ideal love is sought most: marriage and partnership in the seventh, romance in the fifth.
