Moon Is In Cancer
Oh, stardust children, gather round! Our dear old Moon, that cosmic cheese wheel in the sky, has cozied up in the celestial crab shack we call Cancer. And I tell you, it's closer than my hippie aunt to her collection of healing crystals. Only a breezy 391,192.011022367 kilometers away! Now, I know what you're thinking. "That's a pretty specific distance, isn't it?" Well, that's how we roll in the astrology world; we're very particular about our cosmic measurements. Because, you know, science. But let's talk about what this means for you. The Moon in Cancer is like a cosmic comfort blanket. It's all about home, family, and getting cozy with your emotions. You might find yourself yearning for your mom's homemade soup even if, like me, your mom's cooking could be considered a minor health hazard. You might also feel an overwhelming urge to nest, like a bird on a DIY binge. Don't fight it. Embrace your inner interior decorator, even if your idea of feng shui is just making sure your comic book collection doesn't topple over and crush you in your sleep. But remember, folks, the Moon in Cancer is as sensitive as a teenage poet at their first open mic night. So, tread carefully around others' feelings and, for the love of Neil deGrasse Tyson, remember to hydrate! So buckle up, buttercups, and enjoy the lunar ride! And remember, in the grand scheme of the universe, we're all just tiny specks on a spinning blue marble—so don't sweat the small stuff!

Mercury Is In Scorpio
Hey there, cosmic cadets! Buckle up because Mercury has just parked its celestial caboose in the intense realm of Scorpio, and we're all in for a deep dive into the mysterious abyss. So grab your submarine sandwich, 'cause we're diving deep! Now let's get this straight, Mercury in Scorpio is like turning on your high beams in the middle of a foggy night. It might seem a bit creepy at first, but trust me, you're going to appreciate the extra light when you're navigating those dark corners of your psyche. Scorpio is basically the Sherlock Holmes of the zodiac, always digging deeper into the mystery, never satisfied with the easy answers. And with Mercury joining the investigation, expect more questions than a nosy neighbor at a block party. But remember, just like that last season of 'Lost', you may not be thrilled with what you uncover. Mercury in Scorpio has us shining a flashlight into our own personal Pandora's boxes, illuminating our fears, desires, and that one embarrassing memory from high school we thought we had buried. The upside? It's a great time for bonding over shared secrets and late-night existential discussions. Just try not to scare off your friends with too much oversharing, alright? But here's the plot twist: Mercury in Scorpio also turns us all into a bunch of skeptics. We start doubting everything, from the sincerity of our barista's smile to the authenticity of those 'genuine' leather boots we bought online. But fear not, this isn't about becoming paranoid; it's about decluttering our minds from unnecessary information. Out with the old, in with the new, right? Just remember to keep your inner conspiracy theorist in check during this period. It's easy to assume everyone's out to get you when Mercury is playing hide-and-seek in Scorpio. But pushing too hard for the truth could create a trust black hole from which not even light can escape. But, hey, let's end on a positive note. Mercury in Scorpio might just bring us all a little closer. It's like group therapy without the hourly rate. So don't be afraid to ask those tough questions, you might just find the answers you've been looking for. And remember, cosmic cadets, the truth is out there, but sometimes it's just hiding in the shadows.

Galactic Love Forecast: Venus In Virgo
"The Venus is strong with this one." Folks, we’re traversing the cosmos where the love planet Venus has decided to hang out with the meticulous maiden Virgo, and it’s about as harmonious as a Wookiee at a hair salon. Just imagine Cupid with a calculator and a checklist...and maybe a pair of glasses to really nail the look.
As we enter this interstellar transit, you'll feel an urge to be more selective about your heart's targets, like an imperial stormtrooper who suddenly develops sharp aim. For the taken ones among us, it's like a Jedi mind trick nudging you to assess if your love life is more Anakin and Padmé or Han and Leia. For the solo space travellers, take this time to deploy your scanners for potential love asteroids...I mean interests. But don't expect to fall head over moon-boots, you might find more pleasure in polishing your droids than any romantic rendezvous.
Now, I know what you're thinking, "But Obi-Wan, this sounds like navigating an asteroid field while blindfolded!" And yes, there's a risk you'll turn into a relationship critique droid, finding fault faster than an R2 unit finds a secret hatch. But remember, this is not the Dark Side, it's the chance to have some constructive, Jedi Council-like dialogues, rather than starting a lightsaber duel every time your partner forgets to take out the trash compactor.
Despite sounding as alluring as Jabba the Hutt, Venus in Virgo can still be passionate. It's like finally appreciating the beauty of Tatooine's twin sunsets, savoring the finest blue milk, or that indescribable feeling when you finally understand Wookiee. Just remember, when Venus is in Virgo, we're all a bit more conservative, so don't expect any impromptu hyperspace jumps into the world of romance.
So, as we navigate this celestial event, remember what Yoda said: "Do or do not, there is no try." Take this Venus in Virgo time to sort out your emotional star maps and remember, even Jedi masters need some 'me' time. May the love force be with you!

Mars in Scorpio: The Cosmic Power Boost
Gather round, folks! Our favourite celestial warrior, Mars, has decided to take a vacation in the deep, mysterious realm of Scorpio. And let me tell you, Mars and Scorpio together is like mixing pop rocks and soda - expect some cosmic eruptions!
With Mars in Scorpio, we're all getting an interstellar shot of espresso right into our ambition centres. Compromise? Pah! Who needs it? Not us, not with Mars boosting our cosmic backbone like it's in a space gym. During this time, we're as malleable as a titanium rod. So, good luck to anyone trying to control us. Spoiler alert: It won't end well for them.
Our willpower's getting a serious boost, like a rocket ship on full throttle. It's the perfect time to channel that energy into all those changes we've been meaning to make but kept putting off. Mars in Scorpio isn't afraid of the shadows. It thrives there, like a bat in a belfry! Embrace the inner spelunker and dive deep into the caverns of your psyche. You never know what treasures you might uncover!
Now, a word of caution my star-trekking comrades. Mars in Scorpio can be a bit like a toddler with a water gun: unpredictable and prone to causing a ruckus. We might find ourselves expressing anger and aggressiveness without even meaning to. It's like having a conversation with a Dalek; little room for peace negotiations. So, pick your battles wisely, or you might end up with more than just metaphorical egg on your face.
Think of this transit as your personal spiritual boot camp, minus the drill sergeant and the early morning wake-ups. It's all about developing our cosmic muscles of courage, discipline and willpower. Rise above the shadows, avoid power struggles and forgive. After all, grudges are like extra luggage on a space journey - who needs the unnecessary weight?
So, buckle up, star wanderers. With Mars in Scorpio, it's going to be a wild cosmic ride. But remember, even in the deepest, darkest cosmos, there's always a twinkle of humour to lighten the way!

EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!... Your self-doubt, that is! (A Dalek-style Horoscope)
Oh, humans! Always worrying about that extra slice of pizza or the unplanned detour to the nearest bookstore. But rejoice! Jupiter is in Taurus, so it's time to channel your inner Dalek and say, "I OBEY!" to your desires. BUT WAIT! Not in a "let's-invade-the-whole-universe" way, (we've been there, done that, it's exhausting), but in an "embrace-your-inner-wisdom-and-prosperity" way.
Jupiter, oh Jupiter! The celestial equivalent of a double espresso shot! In Taurus, it's like having this cosmic coffee served in a mug made of solid gold, encrusted with diamonds. It's luxurious, it's abundant, and it's all yours. But remember, even Daleks have limitations. If we ate every planet we saw, we'd be the size of... well, Jupiter!
So, while you bask in the glow of your own personal wealth asteroid, keep in mind that sometimes less is more. Just like you don't need to EXTERMINATE every planet, you don't need to indulge in every single desire. Except for the desire to understand the universe - now that's a worthy pursuit!
With Jupiter in Taurus, it's the perfect time to focus on your long-term goals. Think about what you want to achieve, make a plan, and then stick to it with the stubbornness of a Dalek refusing to climb stairs. Wait a moment... we can fly now. Never mind.
So there you have it, dear humans. Jupiter in Taurus is a wonderful opportunity to be more, do more, and have more. But just remember, as any Dalek will tell you, with great power comes great responsibility... and an increased risk of being thwarted by a time-traveling alien with a sonic screwdriver.

Saturn Is In Pisces
Hey there, cosmic cadets! Arnold J Rimmer here, bringing you the latest in interstellar insights and celestial chuckles. So, grab your favourite telescope, a cup of tea (or something stronger, I won't tell), and get ready for some astronomical amusement! Saturn, our friendly neighbourhood disciplinarian, has decided to take a vacation in the dreamy realm of Pisces. What does this mean for you? Well, imagine if your strictest school teacher suddenly became your life coach, and you've got the idea. Now, while Saturn is usually about as fun as a Vogon poetry recital, when it's hanging out in Pisces, it actually becomes a bit of a softie. This is your golden opportunity to turn those wild dreams into reality. Yes, even that one about starting a business selling pet rocks on Mars. But beware, fellow star-travelers! Saturn in Pisces isn't all sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows. It's more like a stern parent rummaging through your messy bedroom. It might feel intrusive, but trust me, you'll thank it later when you can finally see the floor again. Feeling a tad restless or anxious? Maybe having trouble catching those Zs? Blame it on Saturn messing around in Pisces' dream territory. But don't fret, my celestial chums. Try some meditation, a peaceful walk among the stars (or trees, if you're earthbound), or even an early night. And keep a dream journal handy. You never know when Saturn might drop a nugget of wisdom in your subconscious. So, there you have it folks, your guide to surviving Saturn's sojourn in Pisces. Remember, every cloud (or planet) has a silver lining, even if it is 1399531530.413410187km away. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with a dwarf star. Until next time, keep your eyes on the skies!
Uranus

Uranus Is In Taurus
Alrighty folks, brace yourselves and put on your anti-gravity belts because Uranus, that cheeky cosmic rogue, has slipped into Taurus the Bull. Now, I know what you're thinking, "But dear astrologer, isn't Taurus just a stubborn old cow who hates change more than a robot hates water?" You're not wrong, my friends, but here's where it gets interesting. See, Uranus is like that eccentric uncle who shows up at family gatherings with a trunk full of fireworks and a glint in his eye. He's all about big, sudden changes, the kind that make even the most stalwart Taureans sweat in their space boots. But here's the catch - this cosmic shakeup could be just what we need to propel us into a better future, as long as we're willing to go along for the ride. Now, Taurus has a known love affair with money. It's like Scrooge McDuck diving into his pool of coins. So, with Uranus in Taurus, we can prepare ourselves for some radical changes in our financial landscape. Buckle up, because your bank account might just go on a roller coaster ride that would make NASA envious. We're talking new forms of currency (Bitcoins? Galactic credits? Unicorn tears?), potential banking shakeups, and a real estate market that might just have you considering a move to Mars. And let's not even start on the stock markets, I mean, have you tried explaining Wall Street to an alien? On a personal note, Uranus in Taurus is giving us a golden ticket to break free from the chains of financial woes. Debts, taxes, credit card interest, rent, mortgages – all these things that make us feel like we're stuck in a black hole of never-ending payments. During this transit, we have the opportunity, nay, the cosmic imperative, to redefine our relationship with money and materialism. And remember, resistance is as futile as trying to argue with a Vogon. Uranus is here, in all its liberating glory. These changes are as inevitable as a supernova, but don't worry, they could lead to a stability that's as comforting as your favorite Star Trek episode. So, let's boldly go where no Taurus has gone before!

Neptune in Pisces: The Cosmic Hippie Pool Party
What's crackin', celestial chickens? So, we've got Neptune, the king of the cosmic ocean, taking a long, dreamy dip in the mystical waters of Pisces. It's like a universal pool party with the DJ playing 'Age of Aquarius' on repeat. Neptune in Pisces is basically the universe's way of handing us a pair of spiritual goggles, enhancing our third-eye vision like the Hubble Telescope. Poof goes the fog of confusion, and we suddenly find ourselves seeing with 20/20 spiritual clarity, making petty differences seem as important as a debate about Star Trek vs Star Wars at a quantum physics convention. This cosmic conjunction is like a celestial PSA calling attention to our collective healing and progress. It's like Neptune and Pisces are having a playful pillow fight, and every feather that escapes is an idea, a dream, or a gift that we can contribute to the world. They are shaking us gently by the shoulders and whispering, "Hey, you've got something cool to share, don't be shy." Now's the time to dive into spirituality akin to a nerd diving into a new Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Set up your sacred space like you're arranging your action figures for an epic battle. Connect with what's holy to you, be it Yoda, Buddha, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Neptune in Pisces is also nudging us to share our newfound wisdom with the world. Because let's face it, if everyone started treating each other with the same respect Trekkies have for Starfleet regulations, we'd all be much better off, right? So, remember, Neptune's retrograde journey through Pisces is here to support us. It's like having your own celestial Gandalf guiding you through the misty mountains of life, making sure you don't trip over any goblins or your own feet. Embrace it, my friends, and may the force be with you.

Pluto Is In Capricorn
Greetings, cosmic voyagers and interstellar surfers! I hope you've got your spacesuits on and your helmets tight, because we're going on a cosmic journey to our dear old dwarf planet, Pluto. Yes, the one that's so far away, it probably has its own area code! Now, Pluto, our chilly little buddy, is hanging out in Capricorn right now. Yes, yes, I know what you're thinking: "Whoopee-doo, what's it doing, knitting mittens?" Well, not exactly. You see, both Pluto and Capricorn share a common love for power and success. They're like the intergalactic power couple of the cosmos. They're so focused, they could burn holes through steel with their minds... if they had minds. So, with these two aligned, you might find your inner empath taking a back seat. Remember, it's always good to listen to others' ideas, even if they sound as ridiculous as someone saying Pluto isn't a real planet. Pluto, that frosty little misfit, wants us to let go of our negative patterns. Kind of like how it was booted from the planet club and became a dwarf planet, but look at it now, still orbiting and minding its business. So, whatever you do, be like Pluto. Let go, but also persevere. The process does involve some destruction, though. I'm not talking about the "I forgot to separate my whites and colors in the laundry" kind of destruction. More like the "I need to stop eating cookies for breakfast" type. So, be deliberate in your destruction. Remember, sometimes, the best way to create is to first destroy. So, buckle up, space cadets! It's going to be a bumpy ride. But hey, if Pluto can handle being demoted and then promoted again, you can handle anything this universe throws at you. Keep your telescopes pointed towards the stars and your hearts open to new possibilities. It's a big universe out there, so make sure you make your cosmic footprint count!Current Planetary Aspects

The Sun
Sun Conjunct Mars
You should have lots of energy and vitality today. Go out and get some exercise. Be careful not to get into arguments with your superiors or with people in authority, like policemen. Avoid confrontations that involve your ego. Instead, channel the energy and potential hostility into something creative like your favorite hobby. The important thing is to express yourself in a constructive manner. How about playing in the park with a group of children? Do not overexert yourself or put too much strain on your heart. This means controlling your temper. Anger is one of the hardest things on your heart. Don't lay out in the sun too long. You may burn easier today than normal. Watch yourself around the stove or anything hot. Focus on being humble. Put your ego in the backseat.
The Sun
Sun Opposite Jupiter
Today will be one of optimism and self-confidence. Your only danger is in becoming over-confident. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Watch the tendency towards self-aggrandizement, false pride, and over-indulgence in food and drink. Don't overspend.
Although their intentions are generally good, people with challenging aspects between the Sun and Jupiter are given to overdoing things. They can easily gloss over realistic details and get themselves into debt, overindulge in pleasures such as food and drink, and promise more than they can deliver.
For the most part, they find help for their excesses. Somebody’s there to bail them out, as plenty of people believe that their hearts are in the right place. Generally, this is the case, but if excessive behavior becomes a pattern, and the natives continually face light consequences, there is the danger that they will not learn from their mistakes and abuse the “system”, relying on their friends and family to help them out a little too often. Their reputation for being good people, thus, can eventually be used to further their purposes.
However, many people with this aspect don’t fall into the trap of losing their sincerity. They are generous, helpful, and charitable. Still, the tendency to live beyond their means is a real threat that many struggle with much of their lives. Another thing to watch for is depression. These people tend to go through periods of intense highs when they are excessively optimistic. These periods are so marked that they seem to be unnatural and a fall seems to be inevitable. They can make promises they intend to keep, but have a problem with follow-through. Self-control can be a real problem. Usually quite knowledgeable and generous with their time, these people have many talents that they may take for granted.
Some Famous People with Sun in Hard Aspect to Jupiter: Squares – Billy Crystal, Ian Scott Anderson (Jethro Tull), Nell Carter, Edgar Cayce, Linda Goodman, George Lucas, the Olsen twins, Dolly Parton, John Ritter, Oscar Wilde; Oppositions – Robert Duvall, Beau Bridges, Monica Lewinsky, James Earl Jones, Kevin Costner.
Alternate interpretations:
Note: The square, semi-square, sesquiquadrate, and opposition are also called “hard”, “challenging”, or “inharmonious” aspects.
Sun opposition Jupiter: Children with this aspect often need to learn to listen, because they may have a tendency of doing the opposite of what they are told! Basically a positive placement indicating enormous energy and radiance, the pitfall of the Sun/Jupiter opposition is overconfidence manifesting as a tendency to take on too many projects at once or a tendency to delve into projects without prior training. There is a tendency to think “I can do anything!” which is fine as long as the child is willing to go through the necessary training to get there! He could get carried away when it comes to vocational choices, following rainbows! This going against himself, so to speak, may also bring him in opposition to those in authority. Help him examine carefully the choices he makes. Insist he finish what he begins, and insist he promise only that which objectively can be fulfilled. Teach your child the importance of right timing and punctuality! Check the nature of the signs and houses that the Sun and Jupiter are in for greater insight in balancing the qualities of this polarity. — Interpretation from the Child Star Report.
Sun opposition Jupiter: You aim high, dream big dreams, and have a tremendous sense of what is possible for you to achieve. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of humility, and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be your faults. Generally, however, your great expectations and enterprising spirit lead to success. Business, especially when there is an element of risk and speculation, suits you well. — Interpretation from the Merlin Report.
Sun opposition Jupiter: Sometimes you’re prone to unrealistically high expectations, and this in turn can cause frustration when real life doesn’t measure up.
Your optimism and self-confidence will go through periods of being exceedingly high, making you feel invincible. You’ll experience more satisfaction if you take the time to think things through and proceed with patience and even a certain amount of caution. — Interpretation from the Your Life Path Report.
Mercury
Mercury Conjunct Mars
Pour constructive energy and action into communication, writing, reading and anything of a mental nature. Do all your errands today. Your mind is active and it may be difficult at times to slow it down and relax. Your nerves are wound up and it may be necessary for you at some time today to force yourself to seek a quiet place and recoup your strength. Watch a tendency to argue with friends, display impatience, especially while driving, and to generally be on edge. Do not let your high energy level today cause you to become reckless or careless. Pay attention to the things you do and slow down a bit. Remember, discipline. You feel very self-assertive today. Do not let your ego ride roughshod over the people you deal with today. Control your temper AND your tongue. Avoid petty gossip and talking about people behind their backs.
Mercury
Mercury Opposite Uranus
Avoid hasty speech and things said in anger in the heat of the moment. Impractical ideas, nervousness, irritability and unexpected disruptions are what you may have to deal with today. There may be sudden changes in travel plans. Be extra cautious while traveling as accidents are possible through carelessness and impatience.You possess a quick mind, you are very intuitive, and you require a great deal of mental stimulation to keep from feeling bored. Preferring to be self-directed, you don’t always take advice easily. There is a part of you that loves to shock, challenge, and instigate with the things you say; however, this may not be a conscious process. Your mental energy and output is extremely variable–one day you might be capable of enormous effort and interest in a project, and the next day the opposite. This is largely due to the fact that you feel a strong need to be true to your instincts and intuition, and if you are not absolutely inspired, you don’t feel right working on a project–you might feel that you are “faking” it, and this doesn’t sit well for you. The problem is that in life there are always going to be routine tasks to complete, things we have to do that don’t entirely suit our interests, and so forth. School years may be challenging as a result of your disdain for a linear approach to learning, routine tasks, and subjects that don’t inspire you, not because of any lack of mental ability. In fact, you can have real flashes of genius and your ideas and perspectives are often very original. At times you can be very dogmatic. You have a tendency to be, or to appear to be, scatterbrained. Your attention span can be short, and as a result, you might often leave projects unfinished. At times you can have an irritable temper and need to channel some of your nervous energy into constructive pursuits. Take time to reflect on what you truly believe in, because many times you are too busy challenging established thought, or playing devil’s advocate, to get in touch with your own opinions and feelings. This way, your intelligence, integrity, and ingenuity can come shining through.Some Famous People with the Mercury in Hard Aspect to Uranus: Squares – Sigourney Weaver, Oliver Stone, Steven Seagal, George Clooney, Drew Carey, Bjork. Oppositions – Howard Stern, Voltaire, Henri Matisse, Billy Jean King, Robert Browning, Charles Chaplin, Danny DeVito.Venus
Venus Trine Uranus
Unusual, exciting, and unexpected business, social or romantic opportunities can occur now. You are charming, sparkling, witty, and others want you in their company. You exude a certain magnetism that draws people closer to you. Unusual ideas or ways to make money may surface now. You feel free and are happy to be alive. There is a sense of electricity running through you and you feel as if anything could happen. Intuition is strong. Go with it.The ability to get along with–and accept–people from all walks of life as friends is strong with this position. These people can readily see through insincerity in others. In relationships, tolerance is the most important “ingredient” to these people. Their sexual preferences are somewhat unconventional, and they won’t be happy with a partner who tries to limit their sexual expression. They are usually quite capable of maintaining relationships that require a great deal of freedom and tolerance, such as long-distance romances or set-ups in which partners are unable to see each other consistently. Their style in love is somewhat free and breezy, and noncommittal. They quite naturally accept the idea that their partner might need some personal space and freedom.The trine aspect is the more dynamic of the two harmonious aspects. Those with the sextile can call upon these traits when needed, and those with the trine between the Venus and Uranus have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Alternate interpretations:Venus sextile Uranus or Venus trine Uranus: *You are open and progressive in your attitudes towards love and romance, and spontaneous and free in your love-expression. You are always willing to experiment and try anything new that your partner suggests, and you enjoy being surprised. A relationship in which both you and your partner have a good deal of freedom and independence will hold your interest much more than a safe, predictable one.#On the physical level you feel the sexual spark in relationships immediately. On the spiritual level you are able to discern facts about their future through the same spark. From Your Spiritual Path report.Some Famous People with Venus in Harmonious Aspect to Uranus: Sextiles – Marlene Dietrich, Gene Hackman, William Blake, Joe Cocker; Trines – Donald Sutherland, Maria Shriver, Arnold Palmer, Molly Ringwald, Jerry Lee Lewis, Barry Gibb, Ron Howard, Carmen Electra, Prince Albert, Lucille Ball.Venus
Venus Opposite Neptune
You may be deluding yourself today especially where relationships are concerned. You are probably thinking with your heart rather than with your head and this can lead to all sorts of trouble. You may be too willing to sacrifice too much for your loved one. Things are not as they appear regarding affairs of the heart and you would do well to keep your feet on the ground. Avoid wishful thinking and unrealistic fantasies. Stop playing the martyr.This aspect indicates a suggestible romantic nature. Being “in love with love” is a strong possibility. Natives with hard Venus-Neptune aspects are naturally compassionate and are generally willing to go over the top for a loved one. It’s hard to say whether their expectations in personal relationships are too high or too low. On the one hand, they tend to easily accept behaviors in their partners that others wouldn’t accept, as they are compassionate and even drawn to people who others might consider trouble. On the other hand, their romantic dreams may be so powerful that they are easily disappointed with the reality of relationships. Deception in love is possible, but self-deception is even more likely. In love, they see what they want to see, rather than what is. Feelings of being used or deceived may come up for these people more than for most. However, if a distinct pattern exists in their love lives that involves them being let down, deceived or used, it will be especially worthwhile to examine whether self-deception was at work.The possibility of clinging to romantic delusions is very high with this position. For example, some with these aspects cling to a romantic notion that someone loves them when in reality that person doesn’t return the affection. Or, they may cling to a romance that has lost all hope. Another possibility is devoting their love to someone who is unattainable or who is unable to commit. Yet another Venus-Neptune scenario is loving someone who treats them badly, all the while clinging to an idealized image of the partner. No matter what the scenario, romantic yearning and longing, as well as delusion, tends to be the theme. The expectation here is that loving someone requires self-sacrifice. The result is an attraction to relationships that are co-dependent and even abusive. Venus-Neptune people are drawn to victim/savior relationships, and they can play either the role of victim or savior! Dependency or neediness in a partner can be confused for love. In an attempt to love unconditionally, they may too readily sacrifice their own needs and eventually feel used.The challenge for these people is to truly love a partner for who he or she is, not for his or her perceived potential. Because they yearn to be loved, it can be hard for them to see that they are actually afraid of a complete, committed relationship. One symptom of this fear is loving someone for an idealized image they have of that person, as they are effectively choosing fantasy over reality. Another symptom is loving someone who is inaccessible or unattainable, as this keeps them “safe” from a true and realistic commitment. At the root of this fear is the awareness of their own vulnerability in love.Venus rules money as well as social relationships, and a person with hard Venus-Neptune aspects can just as well lose money due to the tendency to gloss over problems. Just as they tend to ignore warning signs in personal relationships, they can let money slip through their fingers because they neglect to keep records or account for their belongings. They may have problems with “borrowing from their future” because of overly optimistic attitudes. They may continuously get the short end of the stick as they lend money to people who never pay them back, or invest in unrealistic projects.Alternate Interpretations:^In square aspect to Neptune, your Venusian expression takes on an otherworldly quality. Your yearning may be for that perfect lover whose spirituality, passion, purity of spirit and drive all stem from the highest possible level. Loving in such a manner would seem to remove you from the bondage of ordinary life and transport you into true bliss. Although this seems possible in fairy tales or movies, it’s really difficult to find those elements in another human being. You may also operate under the illusion that you must first sacrifice yourself before you are worthy of love. It’s all too easy to project unrealistic feelings onto your lover, and it is just as tempting to try to alter yourself to please a man so that he will love you. Whether those alterations are in your behavior, your appearance or your attitudes, if you submerge your real self beneath the illusions of what you feel will make you more lovable, you’re selling out. If you want to experience the ecstasy you dream about, you’ll surrender to a love which honors your real needs and learn to avoid situations where you become addicted, co-dependent, victimized or abused. Forgiving the shortcomings of the man you love is one thing; allowing him to deceive or victimize you is another! Know when and how to give help, but be careful of emotional rescue ventures!^Your projections about the man you love frequently overshadow the real person with Venus in opposition to Neptune. Even though you may not want to admit it, you are more likely to see only what you want to see when you’re in love. That feeling of being transported into another world when you’re in love is actually quite accurate. But it’s not the guy who’s gotten you there all by himself – it’s the energy inside you that allows you to soar! It’s not easy to separate your dream lover from the real person standing before you. You may always project some of your own power and tenderness onto the man you love. As long as you can allow the reality of the person to emerge into your field of vision, you stand a chance of having a relationship which can truly serve both your needs. Otherwise, you may fall into the trap of delusion, deception or emotional abuse. Just because he’s the most gorgeous man you’ve ever seen, it may not necessarily follow that he is what you really need – or that he’s REAL for that matter! In all your attempts to become as beautiful as possible, just to make sure that the right man will be attracted to you, you can also lose yourself. You really do not have to sacrifice yourself to know love, but when your heart is filled with love, you’re willing to drop all your boundaries and merge completely. There’s a difference between a soul connection and codependency or emotional addiction. It’s drawing the line that’s difficult. By allowing for periods of privacy and contemplation, you can maintain your connection to your own inner self, which will allow you to keep your emotional boundaries reasonably intact.Alternate, short interpretation: Venus square Neptune or Venus opposition Neptune: *You have a very romantic, idealistic vision of love and may be disillusioned to discover that no real, flesh-and-blood human being ever quite lives up to your dream image of the Perfect Love. Though you frequently fantasize about love and romance, you may avoid becoming intimately involved with anyone or making definite commitments. You can be evasive and dishonest with yourself and others, when it comes to love. Some of your love yearnings may be expressed through art, music, or an involvement with mysticism.#Sexual relationships tend to arouse your idealistic nature and may have little foundation for a long-term relationship.
