The mechanics
What's happening
Neptune opposition your Sun
Neptune dissolves whatever it touches: it softens, blurs, idealizes and lets go. It brings imagination, compassion and longing, and the fog in which it is hard to see what is real. Your Sun is your identity and vitality: who you are becoming and the center the rest of the chart organizes around.
An opposition puts the transiting planet directly across the chart from your natal point: the two drives face each other, usually through another person or an outside event, and the tension asks for a balance. Oppositions arrive through relationships. Here the transiting Neptune makes a opposition to your natal Sun, so Neptune's drive meets your Sun at that angle. Neptune runs a 165-year cycle, so each angle to this point happens once, if at all.
The tell
What it feels like
- You idealize someone and are disappointed, or are idealized and cannot live up to it.
- Deception, confusion or sacrifice in a relationship.
- Your identity blurs into someone else's needs.

How long it lasts
Brace, or build?
Neptune takes about fourteen years per sign, so a transit to one point lasts about two years across up to five passes. It is felt as a slow season rather than an event: a year of fog, a year of clearing.

What to do with it
Somewhere to go
List what you actually know about the other person. Keep one boundary. The opposition clears once you stop projecting and start seeing.
