VENUS SQUARE NEPTUNE

This aspect is a seat of inner tensions. The tension of the square gives us motivation. Squares are dynamic aspects that give us the drive to succeed. What begins as an inner problem is overcome or accepted, and then becomes a door to understanding.

Venus rules Love, beauty and relationships. Venus is aesthetic, artistic and romantic, while Neptune is spiritual, dreamy, imaginative and has escapist tendencies. Neptune is also the higher octave of Venus.

This aspect is idealistic and unrealistic (quixotic) when it comes to personal relationships and personal money. This source of the word 'quixotic' is from the great Spanish novel "Don Quixote," whose title character is given to unrealistic schemes and great chivalry. Consequently the individual often feels disillusioned and sorry for themselves and blames others for their perceived lack of understanding. There is a strong need to develop a healthy respect for oneself and respect for others based on realistic expectations.

Venus square Neptune is walking around with a question mark over its head. This aspect is unrealistic, fanciful and dreamy. No one can maintain that kind of Love over an extended period of time. It's irrational and has 'imagination' tied to it. This aspect is not in its 'heart', this aspect is in it's head. Love should not be 'consuming' where you end up losing yourself. How is that Love? How does that make sense? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE, then get back to the rest of us.

Venus squares Neptune, which is well-known for having unrealistic, impractical and distorted perceptions of reality, especially in this case where Venus is concerned, that being committed relationships and self-worth, which translates into net-worth. In other words, MONEY AND LOVE! Venus square Neptune lives in a land of illusion, especially where self-worth and net-worth are concerned.

This is such a tough square that you may be asking yourself, "Is it worth it?" On the exterior, maybe the relationship has everything anyone could want, but on the interior it has all the makings of hurt, embarrassment and pain.

One might ask, "Was it worth it?" The answer is usually, "Yes because that IS what it took for me to get, the get, and that 'get' (understanding) is what put me on the path to where I am today." But was it worth your self-worth, dignity and soul? The answer may be a resounding, "No!" Hey folks, I have been down that path and I know for a damn fact, I did not have to choose that route to get me where I am today. But that's the route I chose. I chose the hard way.

Relationship-wise, it is my belief, I would have still ended up with my Scorpion King. If we were meant to be together, which I believe we are, we would have still found our way to one another, but I didn't have to take that route. We choose our routes, just like choosing a route on the GPS. That's the flatout Truth. WE choose!

This aspect often asks the question, "Why is this happening to me?" or "Why does this 'keep' happening to me?" I know, I know, you have done everything you can and you just can't seem to tourniquet that 'thing' and control the bleed. I get it. It could be that you are not ready to recognize the Truth, or accept responsibility, or maybe you just aren't ready for change. Maybe you just don't want to grow up and take care of yourself.

There are consequences, outcomes and sequels to our original actions or reactions, which thus unleashes the domino effect. So before the first domino falls, my strong advice is, DON'T SNORT THE COCAINE IN THE FIRST DAMN PLACE! You will not be the exception to the dumb mistakes that others have already tried, lost to, and rehabbed themselves out of such regretful circumstances. You don't have to learn through such dark and scary places. There are other routes.

Venus square Neptune has completely unrealistic and disillusioned outomes as a result of previous choices. Now that you look back on 'it', what did you think was going to happen, you know, before you saw the Light and opened your eyes wider?

Here is strong piece of astrological advice - DO NOT MAKE A BIG DECISION OR CHOICE when this aspect is present, instead take a lot of notes. Neptune is afflicted (by a square) and remember the rule, when Jupiter or Neptune is afflicted, DO NOT mix with drugs or alcohol with it. Don't do it! I know it's cool these days to stand around with a glass in the hand slurring and laughing, but during an affliction to Jupiter or Neptune, it will likely bring out some pitiful or embarrassing scenes. This aspect will help you see and feel what you need to see and feel if you do not cover it up and pacify it with alcohol or drugs.

Remember this little tidbit, "When you wait for something to change you, it usually hurts." Doggone-it! Dang, that is so simple. So why not just change yourself? And get this, when you change, then everyone and everything around you has to change in response to your change. THIS is one of the coolest little awarenesses ever to have hit my brain.

When you stop 'whatever' then the world around you has to shift and change. It rattles other people when you stop doing what you were doing, that made it okay for them to do whatever they were doing or not doing. Now they have to respond to your change with a shift. They will either rise and meet you, or they will fall away and out of your Life by their own weight. POOF! It's quite remarkable. It just goes to show how much individual power you have by changing yourself. So enough about them, WHAT ABOUT YOU?!?! You can't do a damn thing about them, but you can do plenty about you. HOT DOG!!!

The 12th house of Pisces rules the past. Neptune rules Pisces. So we have an element of the past showing up today squaring Venus (self-worth and committed relationships). Uggggh, the past lurking around trying to keep you there instead of in the future. Again, the route/path didn't have to be that way, but yeah, I guess it did.

If you are an ascended and enLightened soul, revisiting the past will make you appreciate where you are today, but if you are stuck in the blame game of the past, then you 'get to' keep reliving your past until you finally decided to set it down and leave it behind. Dragging the past around is heavy. It's heavy on the brain, heart, soul, feet, back, uggggh! I know!

Venus square Neptune is quixotic, meaning it can drive you completely overboard on anticipation and expectation, which is just as unrealistic as it is impractical. It's the perfect set-up for disappointment and letdown. Bummer! SET IT DOWN!!!

Sooner or later you will have to take responsibility for that initial SNORT of whatever it is keeping you addicted to its energy. NEPTUNE IS THE ADDICT. NEPTUNE IS 'THE ADDICTION'. VENUS IS LOVE AND SELF WORTH, WHICH TRANSLATES INTO NET-WORTH.

An easy and temporary fix would be to slap your face with ice cold water and take a whiff of smelling salts. What you wish could be, simply may not be reasonable for your Lifestyle or your future self of who you have been purposed to become. Heck, it may not even be part of your spiritual progression path.

The longer-term fix toward an easier Life will require that you drop the excess weight that you have been dragging around for so long, from one residence to the next, and I don't mean excess body weight or body fat, but okay, let's throw that in too. That extra weight came from somewhere.

If you received an 'Ah-ha' from this write-up, please consider supporting my 'original content' and buying ME a coffee. You might say, "One awakening (horoscope) for another awakening (coffee)". What a wonderful exchange of chi' and express gratitude.
