Transit Venus Square Natal Neptune: Mind the Rose-Coloured Glasses

Transit Venus square natal Neptune is a two-to-three-day transit that creates mild friction between expectations and reality. Venus wants to be loved and to enjoy life; Neptune brings fog, longing and idealisation. The square sets the two against each other, so the person tends to see things as lovelier than they are.

What does transit Venus square Neptune mean in love?

Too much meaning gets read into a message, and when the reply is slow the disappointment swells. A new crush looks flawless while every shortcoming of the current partner stands out. Sometimes it runs the other way: the person slips into a self-sacrificing role and keeps giving attention that isn't returned. These feelings are real but don't show the whole picture; a few days later they can be viewed from a much calmer place.

Money, shopping and the urge to escape

This aspect touches the wallet as well as the heart. Shopping "to feel better", getting swept up in a vague investment offer or one glass too many are typical scenes. It is wise to postpone big purchases and any romantic or financial decision that needs a signature until the aspect has passed.

The haze thickens on approach, is strongest at the exact square and clears as Venus separates. It happens once or twice a year and can repeat when Venus is retrograde. Music, swimming, a long sleep or a creative pastime absorb this energy beautifully. The house with Pisces on its cusp, ruled by Neptune, may also look a little blurry during these days.
