Solar activity reached moderate levels. Region 3480 (S09E40, Dai/beta) produced two impulsive M1 flares at 05/1143 UTC and 05/1432 UTC. New Region 3482 (N02E68, Hrx/alpha) was numbered. No meaningful changes from the previous reporting period were observed in the five regions with spots. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected.
The solar kp index is active, reinforcing retrograde effects. The solar wind speed is high, making retrograde effects significantly increased!
The solar wind environment became strongly enhanced following the arrival of two distinct interplanetary shocks which are thought to be the arrival of CMEs from 02 and 03 Nov. The first shock was observed in solar wind data beginning at 05/0810 UTC, after which total field strength increased to 34 nT and Bz deflected southward to a peak of -27 nT. Solar wind speeds increased to a peak of only 434 km/s following the initial shock arrival.
There is a 15% chance of solar activity, with a 25% chance of a minor event, a 35% chance of a moderate event, and a 25% chance of a strong event.
The waning moon is currently in Leo, at 23 degrees, 25' 35", at a velocity of 11.86 degrees per day.
The Third Quarter moon is currently 22.9 days old. It is 405162.94 km from the centre of the Earth.
The next new moon is at 9:27:15, 13 Nov, 2023. The next full moon is at 9:16:41, 27 Nov, 2023.

Alright, star gazers, buckle up. We're hitching a ride on the celestial roller coaster and today's stop is Leo town. Now, don't get your space suit in a twist, but our dear Moon has decided to park its cosmic caboose in the fiery realm of the Lion. Now, I know what you're thinking – "But isn't the Moon supposed to be all cool, calm and collected? How's it gonna handle a hot-headed Leo?" Well, let's just say the Moon is your quirky Aunt Frida who showed up at Thanksgiving wearing a tie-dye jumpsuit and Birkenstocks. It's got this whole 'unpredictable' thing down to an art. So, while the Moon is at a mere 404214.841454752km away (and no, that's not a typo, I didn't sneeze on my keyboard), it's gonna have some fun with Leo. It's like a cosmic game of truth or dare, and Leo just double-dared the Moon to turn up the heat. Expect the unexpected, folks. If your boss suddenly decides to grow his hair into a mullet or your cat starts barking, don't say I didn't warn you. Embrace the weirdness, channel your inner Bowie and remember: there's no such thing as normal. But hold onto your telescopes, because in the next 24 hours, the Moon is going to shimmy into Virgo. Think of it as moving from a wild house party to a sophisticated soiree where everyone discusses quantum physics and recites Shakespearean sonnets. So, whether you're a brave Leo, a practical Virgo, or any other sign under the stardusted sky, remember to enjoy the ride. After all, we're all just stardust hitchhiking through the galaxy. Peace out, my celestial siblings!

Mercury Is In Scorpio
Greetings, celestial comrades! Strap on your space boots and grab your galactic goggles because Mercury is shimmying its way into Scorpio, like a nerdy scientist sneaking into a secret society meeting. This ain't no ordinary planetary pirouette, my friends, it's more like a cosmic whodunit. Scorpio, the Sherlock Holmes of the zodiac, loves a good mystery more than a hipster loves their vintage typewriter. This sign doesn't just scratch the surface, it digs deep, looking for hidden truths and buried secrets, like a sci-fi archaeologist. So with Mercury, the planet of communication, in this intense sign, expect conversations to go from casual chit-chat to intense therapy sessions faster than you can say "interstellar intrigue." Are you feeling a bit more introspective, like Albert Einstein on a silent retreat? That's Mercury in Scorpio illuminating the shadowy corners of your mind, making you contemplate about your fears, desires, and that strange dream where you were a dolphin on Neptune. It's all part of the cosmic journey, my friend. The darker it gets, the brighter we shine. However, be warned - Mercury in Scorpio may turn us all into cosmic conspiracy theorists. You might start suspecting your cat is an alien spy, or that your coffee machine has a secret life as a time machine. Don't let suspicion consume you, though, or you'll end up like that guy in every sci-fi show who spends his entire life in a basement, talking to his ham radio. Instead, use this period to cut through the cosmic clutter. Discard ideas and beliefs that don't serve you, like that theory about the moon being made of green cheese (it's actually made of moon rock, FYI). Make room for fresh insights, deeper connections, and maybe even a few extraterrestrial epiphanies. So, buckle up, space cadets! It's time to dive into the deep-end of the cosmic pool. Just remember - no matter how deep you dive into the mysteries of the universe, always come up for air. And maybe a slice of pizza. Because Mercury in Scorpio or not, pizza is always a good idea.
Venus
Venus is in Virgo
Venus is prograde at 27 Vir 41' 25", moving at 1.08 degrees per day, and is 118804338km away and receding.
Venus Is In Virgo
Alright folks, fasten your cosmic seatbelts because our celestial sister Venus just pulled up in Virgo-town and she's here to shake things up a bit. You see, when Venus decides to vacation in Virgo, it's like your mom coming over for a surprise visit - everything must be PERFECT (and I mean, hospital-corner bed-making perfect). If you're hitched, it's time to step back and take a gander at the state of your love boat. Is it sailing smoothly or on the verge of hitting an iceberg? Now, for all the lone wolves out there, this planetary soiree is going to be like having in-built love goggles that help you spot the red flags from miles away. So, my nerdy singles, let's pause that game of Dungeons and Dragons and start paying attention to our potential love interests. But beware, with Venus in Virgo, we may end up picking at our partners like they're a tricky level in Candy Crush Saga. Remember folks, it's about constructive criticism, not nitpicking! Think of it as debugging your relationship code rather than spamming the error log. Yes, I know, all this relationship analysis sounds as exciting as a Star Trek marathon (which is very exciting, by the way!). But trust me, Venus in Virgo can bring passion too. You know how we geeks appreciate the fine details in art, food, nature, and, well, everything? That's exactly how we'll be approaching our love life - with a focus on quality over quantity. So, while Venus is parked in Virgo, don't expect any whirlwind romances or casual flings. We're talking slow-burning, Game of Thrones-style plot development. Just remember, even if your love life feels like it's moving at the speed of a sloth on tranquilizers, there's plenty of potential for passion and progress. So, get ready to boldly go where no nerd has gone before. And remember: may the love be with you!

Mars in Scorpio: The Alien Remix
Holy cosmic dustbunnies, folks! Mars is moonwalking its way into Scorpio and, let me tell you, it's about to get more heated than a Star Trek convention at a chili cook-off. If you thought Mars was all "Live long and prosper," think again. In Scorpio, Mars is the equivalent of that one friend who, after one too many Romulan ales, starts arm-wrestling everyone and insists on being called "Captain."
During this celestial tango, your willpower might feel like it’s been supercharged by a warp core. You may be tempted to Hulk-smash your way through life, rewriting every rule in the Federation Handbook. Just remember, nobody likes a dictator, not even in a galaxy far, far away.
On the flip side, Mars in Scorpio has a darker allure, much like Darth Vader. It thrives in places as mysterious as the dark side of The Force itself. This planetary alignment could be your golden ticket for some deep self-reflection. Think of it as a Vulcan mind meld with your subconscious - it's time to boldly go where no man has gone before!
But beware, my young Jedi. Fiery Mars chilling out in watery Scorpio can turn you into an emotional Death Star, ready to obliterate relationships faster than you can say "It's a trap!" Use your newfound intensity as a lightsaber, not a blaster. To paraphrase Yoda, "Destroy relationships, it must not. Constructive, you must be."
Think of Mars in Scorpio as your personal spiritual boot camp. It's like training to be a Jedi, but without the creepy ghost mentors or questionable midi-chlorians. If you can avoid turning to the dark side (read: power struggles, revenge, bitterness), you'll come out of this more powerful than you could possibly imagine. May the force be with you!

Jupiter In Taurus: A Nerdy, Hippy Astrologist's Take
Alright cosmic voyagers, grab your calculators and tie-dye shirts because we're diving deep into the cosmos today. Jupiter, our resident galactic overachiever, is kicking back in Taurus' celestial man cave, and the vibes are...well, let's just say they're "earthy." Remember, Jupiter is a whopping 596,193,050.653755784km away (I bet you didn't know that, huh?), giving us all a lesson in social distancing.
Now, some of you might think this is a case of an interstellar mismatch. Jupiter, the planet of wisdom, hanging out with Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn sign? But don't judge a book by its cover or a planet by its sign. This is the cosmic equivalent of that quiet kid from high school who suddenly became super cool at the reunion. The combo of Jupiter and Taurus is here to remind us that wisdom isn't found in a dusty old library; it's within us, disguised as that funny feeling in your gut when you know you're about to do something...questionable.
Jupiter in Taurus is like having your own personal life coach. It's whispering sweet motivational quotes in your ear, encouraging you to chase after your dreams like they're the ice cream truck on a hot summer day. So, roll up your sleeves, dig out that to-do list you've been ignoring, and start ticking off those tasks one by one. With Jupiter's go-getter attitude and Taurus' stubbornness, you'll find yourself crossing the finish line in no time!
And let's not forget about the big M: money. Jupiter is like that rich uncle who always shows up to family gatherings with expensive gifts, and Taurus is all about luxury. So, when these two get together, it's like winning the cosmic lottery. Time to check your bank account, because there might be some extra zeros at the end!
But hold on to your horoscopes, folks, because Taurus also has a penchant for indulgence. You know that feeling when you walk into a bakery and you just HAVE to have that extra-large, double chocolate muffin? That's Taurus talking. So, remember to balance your needs and wants. After all, Jupiter may be in retrograde, but that doesn't mean

Saturn in Pisces: The Nerd's Guide to Cosmic Spring Cleaning
All right, star gazers, gather 'round. It's time to talk about Saturn in Pisces. You know, that big ol' ringed rock hanging out a mere 1,408,905,573.539975643km away? Yeah, that one. It's going prograde and breaking all the rules, like a celestial James Dean in a leather jacket and a space helmet.
But what does it all mean? Imagine Saturn as your cosmic life coach, ready to whip you into shape and turn your daydreams into reality. This is the moment to dust off that manuscript you've been hiding under your bed, or start planning that business you've always fantasised about. Grab a notepad and a pen, folks, because we're getting a lesson straight from the cosmos itself.
Now, let's be real. Saturn is like that parent who insists on barging into your room, even when your "Keep Out" sign is clearly displayed. He's here to challenge your dreams, and you might feel a tad invaded. But instead of slamming the door in his face, try listening to what he has to say. It might be the best advice you never wanted to hear.
While all this is happening, you might find yourself as restless as a caffeinated hamster. That's because Pisces, the dreamy, sleepy sign, is getting a wake-up call from Saturn. If you're having trouble sleeping, why not try some hippie-approved remedies? Meditate, take a stroll through nature, breathe, nap with a dream journal on standby. Heck, go wild and try to get a full night's sleep! The universe is talking, my friends, and it's time for us to listen.
So grab your telescopes, tighten your Birkenstocks, and get ready for some serious celestial spring cleaning. Saturn in Pisces is here, and it's time to make our dreams come true.

Uranus in Taurus: The Cosmic Bull Ride
Alright, cosmic cowboys and cowgirls, it's time to strap in and hold on tight because Uranus, the celestial rodeo clown of our solar system, is currently shaking things up in Taurus, the zodiac's most stubborn bull. Now, I know what you're thinking: "Uranus is how far away? And it's doing what now?" But bear with me, folks. Despite the staggering distance of 2,788,457,523.978518486km (yeah, that's a lot of zeros), what happens in the far reaches of space can still have a profound impact on our lives here on terra firma.
Now, Taurus is a creature of habit. This sign loves its comfort zone like a hobbit loves second breakfast. But Uranus? Well, Uranus is about as predictable as a quantum physics equation after a six-pack of Red Bull. It's all about sudden, drastic changes and shaking things up. It's like the mad scientist of the cosmos, cackling gleefully as it throws another wrench into the gears of the status quo.
And where does this mad scientist have its sights set? On our wallets, of course! Taurus rules money, so with Uranus tinkering in this sign, we could see some strange, revolutionary shifts in how we handle our cash and resources. Imagine if the Star Wars Galactic Credit Standard suddenly became the global currency, or Wall Street morphed into a game of intergalactic Monopoly. Yeah, it's going to be that wild.
But hold on, there's a silver lining here. Yes, Uranus in Taurus might sound like a recipe for financial chaos, but it's also a call to liberate ourselves from the chains of materialism. Debt, taxes, the never-ending cycle of rent and mortgages – these are the ties that bind. But Uranus is here with its cosmic bolt cutters, urging us to redefine our relationship with the almighty dollar.
Resistance is futile, my friends. Remember, this is a bull ride, not a tea party. The changes coming our way could actually lead to greater stability in the long run. So buckle up, lean into the changes, and enjoy the ride. This cosmic rodeo ain't slowing down!
Neptune
Neptune is in Pisces
Neptune is retrograde at 25 Pis 08' 23", moving backwards at 0.02 degrees per day, and is 4373999842km away and receding.
Neptune Is In Pisces
Well, buckle up buttercups as Neptune has decided to play cosmic hide and seek in the dreamy realm of Pisces! Now, I know your first thought might be, “Neptune is how many kilometers away?!” Rest assured, this doesn’t mean you need to panic buy rocket fuel and prepare for takeoff. Neptune in Pisces is sort of like having a super-powered nightlight that helps us navigate through our internal cosmic fog. It's like when you find the remote control in the fridge, or your glasses on your own forehead - suddenly, the things that were hidden in plain sight become clear as a Bell Labs scientist's whiteboard. And let me tell you, this spacey combo is all about unity! It's like a cosmic potluck where everyone brings their best dish. We're not talking about Aunt Karen's questionable tuna casserole, but those delicious dreams, ideas, and talents you've got tucked away. This is the time to dive deep into your emotional Hogwarts and dust off your spiritual invisibility cloak. Maybe you've been eyeballing that online course on crystal healing, or perhaps you've been yearning to build a personal shrine to Baby Yoda. Whatever floats your spiritual Millennium Falcon, now's the time to embrace it! Remember, Neptune in Pisces isn't just about discovering your inner Jedi—it's about sharing that Force with the world. So, channel your inner E.T., phone home, and remember that no matter how many galaxies away Neptune might seem, its energy is right here, helping you navigate your very own intergalactic journey. May the Neptune force be with you!

Pluto in Capricorn - The Cosmic Cha-Cha
Alright star children, get ready to boogie because Pluto, our favorite misunderstood dwarf planet (it's still a planet in my heart), is doing the cosmic cha-cha in the sign of Capricorn! And let me tell you, it's like watching Bill Gates at a disco - all business, but not afraid to bust a move!
Now, both Pluto and Capricorn share a passion for power and success that rivals a caffeinated squirrel on a mission to gather nuts. But be careful, my celestial voyagers, because this transit might make us about as compassionate as a charging rhinoceros with a toothache. Remember the golden rule: just because you're busy climbing the corporate ladder doesn't mean you can kick someone else off it.
But here's where things get fun. Pluto, the intergalactic Marie Kondo, is all about sparking joy by getting rid of what no longer serves us. You know, like those old habits, toxic relationships, and maybe that neon '80s windbreaker you've been holding onto. Sure, it's going to involve a bit of chaos, but hey, who said spring cleaning had to be boring?
So strap in, stargazers. It's time to shake, rattle, and roll with the cosmic rhythms. And remember, you're not just destroying - you're creating! Don't worry if you don't have a blueprint, just follow your inner GPS. It might not always make sense (like why do we park on driveways and drive on parkways?), but trust me, it knows where it's going.
Current Planetary Aspects
Current Planetary Positions
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 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.Mercury
Mercury Trine Neptune
Today is a day for wishing upon a star and imagining that your most heartfelt dreams can and will come true. Idealism is high and you are both inspirational and imaginative. Your visualization powers are effective and strong. Somehow, you just know things today. Trust your intuition. Do some spiritual study. Listen to some inspirational and uplifting music.You are creative, perceptive, and imaginative. You draw heavily on your imagination and intuition to come to conclusions and make decisions. You easily sense the thoughts and feelings of others, and you are adaptable in your communications as you pay attention to how your words are received. You express yourself with subtle flair, sensitivity, and perhaps some charming quirkiness. You have an appreciation, and perhaps talent, for photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. You are naturally open to metaphysical or spiritual concepts. You might believe in things that others discard, and some with this position at least seem a little naive or childlike. Many of you have psychic ability, or at least very good hunches.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 Mercury and Neptune have incorporated the traits of the aspect into their personalities, expressing them naturally and consistently.Some Famous People with Mercury in Harmonious Aspect to Neptune: Sextiles – Brad Pitt, Fred Astaire, Drew Barrymore, John Cleese; Trines – Vanessa Redgrave, Michael J. Fox, Tammy Wynette, Oscar Wilde, Shirley Temple Black, Robb Thomas, Mia Farrow, Meryl Streep.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. Once past the initial stage of love however, your imagination fuels the flame of intense spirituality and you are capable of ecstatic insights. Mystical practices can enhance your sex life.
