Neptune Square or Opposite Venus
© 2004 Curtis Manwaring
Transiting Neptune square or opposite your natal Venus. Romance could prove upsettingly full of illusions. Sometimes this transit stimulates your desire to help the less fortunate. The problem is that often the people who you are coming into contact with now are parasites who are only interested in taking advantage of your generosity. Relationship co-dependencies are common, and lack of proper boundaries or invasion of personal space is more likely. In financial dealings you are not likely to get what you pay for now unless you are extremely vigilant about scrutinizing the value of your purchases. Swindlers may be more commonplace. Your budget is likely to be either non-existent or chaotic. Artists and musicians usually find this period to be creatively fruitful.
