Okay, so you wanna hear about my deep dive into Neptune in the 7th house? Buckle up, it’s a trip!
First off, I gotta say, I’ve always been kinda skeptical about astrology. But, I was bored one night, stumbled upon some stuff about houses and planets, and my 7th house (partnerships, relationships, all that jazz) had Neptune chilling in it. Figured, why not look into it?
So, I started googling. I read all sorts of stuff – some of it was straight-up fluff, some of it kinda resonated. Key themes kept popping up: illusion, idealism, disillusionment, and spiritual connections in relationships. Thought to myself, “Alright, let’s see if this actually lines up with my past.”
Went back through my relationship history – and lemme tell ya, it was a bit of a rollercoaster. I realized I tended to idealize partners hard. Like, build them up in my head to be these perfect, amazing beings. Total projection, right? And then, inevitably, reality would hit, and I’d be crushed when they didn’t live up to my fantasy. Ouch.
I remember one relationship, in particular. This guy was super charming, artistic, seemed so deep and soulful. I was head-over-heels. Turns out, he was also super flakey, unreliable, and kinda emotionally unavailable. I was completely blinded by the “artist” facade. Neptune was definitely at play there.
After recognizing that pattern, I started actively trying to be more grounded and realistic in my approach to relationships. I made a conscious effort to see people as they are, flaws and all, instead of projecting my hopes and dreams onto them. It was hard work, ngl.
Another thing I noticed was the “spiritual connection” aspect. In the past, I was always drawn to partners who had some sort of spiritual or artistic bent. Music, art, meditation, whatever. I needed that “soulmate” vibe. Now, I’m trying to balance that with more practical considerations – you know, are they responsible? Can they communicate well? Can we build a life together?
I started journaling about my relationship patterns. I tried to catch myself when I started idealizing someone. I asked my friends for brutally honest feedback about my choices. It was uncomfortable, but necessary.
Honestly, figuring out my Neptune in the 7th hasn’t magically fixed my love life. Still navigating the dating world, still making mistakes. But I’m way more aware of my tendencies. I’m more cautious about who I let into my life, and I’m definitely more grounded in my expectations.
My takeaways?
- Be wary of idealizing your partners.
- Look for substance beyond the “sparkle.”
- Embrace reality, even when it’s not as pretty as your fantasies.
- Don’t rely solely on feelings, logic has to come into play.
So, yeah, that’s my Neptune in the 7th house experience so far. It’s an ongoing process, but I’m learning. And who knows, maybe I’ll find that grounded, spiritual connection I’m looking for eventually. Wish me luck!
