Neptune has opposed my Venus 3 times exact at this point through retrograde transits. The first time it hit, I became interested in a guy who was less than trustworthy (though I didn't know it), but who seemed to be very connected to me, perhaps even on a spiritual level. He and I had a lot of ups and downs through the 6 months that we were friends. We never really went so far as to actually date, though we were on the verge of it a few times. My instincts told me that something was amiss though, so I held back. The second time Neptune opposed my Venus exact (from the retrograde), I found out the truth about this guy and what was actually going on. He had deceived me and everyone around him, and I found out how manipulative he actually was. BECAUSE of this guy I took about 8 months off of any type of love/dating to get my priorities straight and to figure out what I needed. I tend to be very giving and I usually contort my true nature (being heavily mutable) to what I think the other person needs/wants. During this time period, I decided I don't need to do that, and that the only way for me to be successful in love is to be myself and let the guy come to me (the problem is that I'm so cynical that I usually believe that men WON'T come to me).
When the final pass of Neptune happened just last month, I had made a full transition to this way of thinking, and it was starting to work out for me actually. There is a guy in particular that I'm interested in who I feel VERY connected to, but I'm just letting him go slow and take his time, because if it's meant to work out it will... And if it doesn't, so be it. Life is cyclical and love will come back around.
So yeah... That was tNeptune opposing Venus for me. I think that from a spiritual perspective, I learned how to treat myself better instead of being so damn selfless that the needs of the other eclipse my own. It really gave me a certain inner peace, instead of the constant anxiety that I have around relationships. Keep in mind that I have a retro Venus natally, so this has pretty much always been an issue for me.
But yeah, there was that element of being lied to with the tNeptune. I'm very glad that I don't date people who need 'saving' because then I probably really would have been in trouble.
