Transit Venus Quincunx Natal Neptune

Dreamy confusion in love.

Here’s what to do and not do when you have a Venus quincunx Neptune transit. Below that are some interesting things about this transit.

Avoid During This Transit

• Don’t jump into new romantic relationships without knowing the other person well- you might not see things clearly right now.
• Avoid making big financial decisions or spending lots of money, especially on things that seem too good to be true.
• Try not to ignore obvious red flags, whether it’s with people, deals, or offers that come up.
• Don’t trust gossip or everything you hear- rumors can be extra misleading during this time.
• Avoid escaping into unhealthy habits, like overindulging in alcohol, overeating, or binge-watching to disconnect from reality.
• Don’t make promises you probably can’t keep, even if you mean well- confusion or mixed signals are common now.
• Hold off on making permanent changes to your appearance, like tattoos or extreme hair colors- your taste might not be as reliable right now.
• Don’t get swept up in get-rich-quick schemes or anything that promises fast results with little effort.
• Try not to put people on a pedestal or see them as perfect- that dreamy vibe could blind you to real flaws.
• Avoid ignoring your gut feelings just to please others- honor your own boundaries and instincts.

Do During This Transit

• Let yourself daydream and get inspired- creative ideas can flow more easily now.
• Try any artistic projects like painting, music, or writing poetry, even if you’re just playing around.
• Practice compassion; reach out to friends or loved ones who might need a little extra support.
• Explore spiritual activities like meditation, journaling, or simply enjoying some quiet time.
• Trust your feelings, but double-check facts in love and friendships- things might feel cloudy or confusing.
• Watch or listen to movies, art, or music that inspires you or helps you relax.
• Be gentle with yourself if you feel out of sorts; don’t push for perfection in relationships right now.
• Volunteer, donate, or do something kind for someone in need- it’ll feel extra rewarding with this energy.
• Let yourself rest and recharge instead of sticking to a packed schedule.
• Pay attention to your dreams, both at night and the ones you wish for your future.

What’s Interesting About This Transit

• Tendencies Toward Social Confusion: Sepharial, a famous British astrologer from the early 20th century, said a Venus quincunx Neptune transit could indicate “embarrassments in society arising from misunderstood intentions, leading to perplexities and withdrawals.” (Sepharial, “The Manual of Astrology,” 1909)
• Inclined to Be Easily Swayed by Flattery: Alan Leo wrote that under this aspect, one could be “peculiarly susceptible to insincere praise or admiration, risking poor judgment in matters of friendship or love.” (Alan Leo, “The Key to Your Own Nativity,” 1910)
• Strange Artistic Inspiration: Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson noted that Venus-Neptune quincunx could “bring forth odd or otherworldly creative ideas, sometimes bordering on the bizarre, yet with a beauty all their own.” (Ivy M. Goldstein-Jacobson, “Here and There in Astrology,” 1961)
• Temptation to Escapism via Minor Pleasures: A quirk from Llewellyn George’s writings: this transit could lead one to “temporary solace in trivial amusements, prone to little indulgences meant to escape dull anxieties.” (Llewellyn George, “A To Z Horoscope Maker and Delineator,” 1910)
• Awkward Charity: C.E.O. Carter observed the possibility of “misdirected kindness, where attempts to help are refused or result in confusion, sometimes feeling out of sync with what others really need.” (C.E.O. Carter, “Essays on the Foundations of Astrology,” 1947)
• Impaired Taste or Social Faux Pas: In Margaret E. Hone’s classic, she mentioned this aspect might indicate “occasions of impaired artistic judgment, leading to curious mismatches in dress or décor, or awkward social blunders.” (Margaret Hone, “The Modern Textbook of Astrology,” 1951)
• Subtle Mood Disturbances: Henry S. Green, a lesser-known astrologer of the 1930s, described “queer alterations of mood, difficult to self-diagnose, producing vague dissatisfaction with oneself or surroundings.” (Henry S. Green, “Astrological Aspects and Health,” 1935)
• Romantic Idealism, Bordering on Foolishness: According to Evangeline Adams, “This aspect may lure the native into flights of romantic imagination with unlikely figures, pursuing loves that exist mainly in dreams.” (Evangeline Adams, “Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars,” 1930)

Experiencing This Transit

With Venus making a quincunx to your natal Neptune, things can feel a little surreal, confusing, or dreamy when it comes to relationships, art, and even your own self-worth. Venus wants pleasure, happiness, connection, and harmony, but Neptune brings fog, fantasy, and high ideals that sometimes aren’t about what’s right in front of you. The quincunx aspect is awkward- it’s like the planets are each talking, but not really hearing each other.

You might find lots of little misalignments in your love life or social world. There could be misunderstandings or signals that just don’t land clearly. Sometimes, you may feel like you’re chasing after an ideal that isn’t really there, or you’re seeing people and situations in a softer, rosier light than they deserve.

Challenges during this transit

• You might fall for someone’s charm or a beautiful idea, only to be let down when reality doesn’t match up. For example, starting a new romance or friendship and later realizing you ignored the obvious red flags.
• There’s a tendency to avoid dealing with unpleasant truths. You could try to smooth things over in a relationship by pretending everything’s fine, even when it isn’t.
• Spending too much on things that make you feel good in the moment- a little retail therapy that turns into buyer’s remorse, or overindulging in sweets, art supplies, makeup, or other Venusian treats.
• Creative inspiration is high, but focus is fuzzy. You might start a cool art project, song, or poem, but find it hard to finish or stick to one idea.
• Mixed messages and misunderstandings in texts, messages, or social posts can make things weird or awkward, especially if sarcasm or subtlety doesn’t land.

Opportunities during this transit

• This is a great time to tap into your imagination. If you’re an artist, musician, or writer, you’ll find inspiration everywhere. You might not finish everything, but you’ll get beautiful ideas that can be polished later.
• You could have some pretty magical experiences through meditation, music, or spiritual practices- moments when you feel deeply connected to your own dreams or something bigger than yourself.
• Watching movies, going to art shows, or even just spending time in nature can feel extra soothing and inspiring right now, almost like you’re seeing things in a softer light.
• Acts of kindness or compassion might feel especially rewarding. Even small gestures, like letting someone go ahead of you in line or sending a supportive message, can bring a deep sense of connection.
• If you lean into your intuition, you might just pick up on subtle undercurrents in people or situations that others miss- just check facts before jumping to conclusions.
