Transit Neptune Opposite Sun: Fog in the Mirror of Others

Transit Neptune opposite Sun is a period in which a person's identity and will become blurred or tested through other people. The opposition brings polarity and projection: Neptune faces the Sun from the other side of the chart, so the fog often arrives through a partner, associate, institution or cause. Where during transit Neptune conjunct Sun the dissolving comes from within, here it usually comes from outside.

How does transit Neptune opposite Sun affect relationships?

In this period the person may idealise someone, hand over their own power, or take on another person's problems. In a partnership the gap between words and reality slowly shows; a partner may turn out to be different than expected, or the person sees their own part in the relationship with new eyes. A charismatic teacher, a tempting investment or someone waiting to be rescued are typical figures of this time.

How long does it last, and how to work with it?

This opposition is active for around one to two years, and Neptune often crosses the point opposite the Sun three times. On the approach uncertainty and admiration grow together, at the exact hits masks fall, and in the separating phase the person can tell what they want for themselves from what they carry for someone else.

Practical advice: written agreements, reference checks and boundaries in joint ventures; open conversation rather than assumptions in relationships. Compassion is the gift of this aspect, but it works when given without self-sacrifice. The house ruled by the Sun is also more open to other people's influence now.
