Avoid During Transit Venus Square Neptune

- Avoid getting caught up in daydreams or wishful thinking, especially about people or situations that seem “too good to be true.”

- Try not to escape reality through unhealthy habits, whether it’s binge-watching, overeating, or using substances.

What’s Interesting About Transit Venus Square Neptune

- According to Paul Counsil in “The Neptunian Influence” (1938), this transit sometimes draws people into fleeting cults or secret societies. There’s a tendency to be charmed by spiritual movements that are not all they seem.
- Vivian Robson, in “The Influence of the Planets” (1937), notes that Venus square Neptune can bring about “disappointments in invitations to parties or concerts,” with excitement giving way to let-downs, since the social events don’t live up to expectations.
- Isidore Kozminsky’s “Astrological Textbook” (1917) suggests the transit can manifest as a sudden craving for exotic or taboo pleasures, including rare foods or perfumes that are connected to far-off lands or forgotten eras.
- Marc Edmund Jones, in his “Astrology: How and Why It Works” (1941), mentions that this transit might spark “emotional hypersensitivity toward weather conditions,” like feeling heartbreak or euphoria just because it’s foggy, rainy, or misty outside.
- Evangeline Adams in “Astrology, Your Place Among the Stars” (1930) warned that Venus square Neptune can make people more vulnerable to scams involving jewelry, antiques, or romantic partners, because judgment is clouded by wishful thinking.
- Grant Lewi, in “Astrology for the Millions” (1940), pointed out that this transit sometimes leads people to want to “save” someone else from addiction or escapism, often in romantic situations, only to become entangled themselves.
- In Ernest S. Green’s “Neptune: The Dissolver” (1928), it’s written that Venus square Neptune increases the risk of daydreaming about unattainable lovers, or forming crushes based solely on a person’s voice, music, or poetry.
Experiencing Transit Venus Square Neptune
Venus square Neptune is, honestly, a pretty trippy ride. It mixes up your desires, dreams, and sometimes even your boundaries. During this transit, your normal logic about love, creativity, money, or beauty kind of floats away, and everything feels more magical- or a little suspicious. You might see the best in people (even if it’s not really there) or get swept up in something super romantic, creative, or just plain confusing.
Challenges during Transit Venus Square Neptune
- Mixed-up feelings: You may misread someone’s intentions- you think they’re flirting, they think you’re just being friendly, or vice versa.
- Easily deceived: Both in love and money, it’s a classic time for getting catfished or making a “too good to be true” online purchase.
- Escaping reality: You might just want to daydream, binge-watch, or check out emotionally instead of facing stuff you should be handling.
- Bad boundaries: People could take advantage of your generosity or naivety now. Lending money or giving way more than you receive could create problems.
- Creative blocks (ironically): You could have amazing ideas but get super overwhelmed and never finish anything, or start projects that fizzle out.
- Self-criticism: With Neptune involved, you might idealize others and feel “not good enough” about your own looks or talents.
- Strange attraction: You may find yourself falling for someone who isn’t really available. Think: mega-crushes on celebrities, unrequited love, or even people who aren’t telling you the truth.
Opportunities during Transit Venus Square Neptune
- Heightened creativity: This is an awesome time for writing poetry, making art, dancing, or even redecorating- anywhere your imagination can run wild.
- Empathy boost: You’re more sensitive than usual, so you can really understand how friends or partners are feeling, even if they’re being subtle.
- Romantic magic: If you’re in a relationship, you could have some lovely, almost movie-like dates or dreamy moments together.
- Escape in a good way: Meditating, going to a museum, watching beautiful movies, or listening to music can soothe your soul and help you reconnect to what inspires you.
- Seeing beauty everywhere: Flowers by the road, the way sunlight hits your coffee cup- suddenly, the little things are enchanting.
- Letting go of perfection: Neptune sometimes takes the edge off needing everything to be “just right,” so you let yourself relax about minor flaws.
- Forgiveness: You might find it easier now to forgive yourself and others, since your heart’s a bit softer and your ideals are bigger.
