Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole “Venus square Neptune” thing in astrology lately. It’s supposed to be a tricky aspect, all about illusions, deception, and blurred lines, especially in love and money. I wanted to see how it played out in real life, so I decided to track it for a while.
First, I pulled up my own chart, just to see if I had this aspect natally. Nope, I’m in the clear! But, I figured I could still observe its effects during transits. So, I started checking the ephemeris regularly, you know, that book that shows where all the planets are at any given time. I wanted to find a period when Venus would be making a square to Neptune.
I found one coming up in a few weeks. Perfect! I marked it on my calendar and set a reminder. I decided to keep a journal during that time, specifically focusing on my relationships and finances, since those are Venus’s domains.
When the transit hit, things got…interesting. I noticed I was way more idealistic than usual. I started seeing the best in everyone, even when there were some clear red flags. Like, I met this person online, and we started chatting. They seemed amazing, like, soulmate material. I totally ignored the fact that they were being super vague about their life and kept changing their story.
On the money side, I got this sudden urge to splurge on things I didn’t need. I saw this beautiful (but totally impractical) piece of art, and I just had to have it. It felt like it was calling to me, you know? My rational brain was screaming “No!”, but I went ahead and bought it anyway.
- Idealism overload: I was basically wearing rose-colored glasses 24/7.
- Dodgy dating: That online person? Yeah, total catfish vibes.
- Impulse buys: My bank account definitely took a hit.
- Blurred boundaries: I found it harder to say “no” to people, even when I should have.
As the transit passed, I started to see things more clearly. The online person? Total scammer. The artwork? Still pretty, but definitely not worth the money. I also realized I’d been letting a friend walk all over me, taking advantage of my generosity.
It was a bit of a rough ride, but honestly, I learned a lot. I saw firsthand how Venus square Neptune can mess with your perception. It’s like living in a dream world, where everything seems perfect, but it’s not really real.
What I’ve changed
I’ve made a conscious decision to improve after finishing my observation. I’m working on being more discerning, both in relationships and with my finances. I’m trying to be more realistic, to see things as they are, not as I want them to be. And I’m definitely being more careful with my money! It’s a work in progress, but I’m feeling more grounded now.
