Transit
Neptune opposition your Venus.

The mechanics
What's happening
Neptune opposition your Venus
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 Venus is how you love and what you value: relationships, pleasure, money as worth, and taste.
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 Venus, so Neptune's drive meets your Venus 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
- Someone close is not who you thought.
- Sacrifice flows one way.
- You idealize across the table and are let down.

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.
The move
What to do with it
Somewhere to go
See the real person and love them or not. Keep your own worth outside the relationship. The opposition clears once the projection does.
