I'm about to have transiting neptune square my natal venus and my boyfriend of 8 years is about to have transiting neptune trine his natal venus... I'm kind of freaking out. Anyone have any experience with either of these transits while being in a long term relationship?

I'm sorry, I have very little experience to offer, but I have gone through Neptune square Venus. Right around the same time, I had Neptune trine Moon.

I was starting junior high at that time, so it's hard for me to know what was the transit, and what was just being an awkward 11 year-old.

I hope other people have more experiences to offer you.

You should show your whole chart b/c it can mean different things for different people and I had other major stuff going on at the time

I had this back in the beginning 2000's...My Venus in in Scorpio... 5th house...

At the beginning of it (I think it lasted 18-24 months for me I don't remember) I was dating two men and made the choice to become serious with one of them... I thought we were going to get married (I was picking the more responsible one). Also, I had a sinus surgery where the doctor hit a nerve in my face and left my face numb. How that relates to Tr Neptune squ Venus is b/c I was a professional musician at the time and it ended my career (I had Tr Pluto conj Sun, Prog ASC squ Pluto at this time too). At the end of this transit the guy I "choose" broke up with me out of nowhere (he was going through a Transit Saturn conj Sun) and to this day he still will not talk to me. I was just blown away. I was fine not being in a romantic relationship with him but he ended our friendship... that's what hurt me. At that moment I realized I picked the wrong guy... and the other guy just got married (and he was still in love with me and got married to another women). I was way past brokenhearted. If I think about it too much I will start crying.

I'm about to start Transit Neptune trine Venus... I hope it plays out better for me this time around and I will pray your doesn't turn into a train wreck like mine. (this is why it's important to see the whole chart).

I have this currently and nothing major has happened.

Neptune transits square Venus

You are more sensitive than ever to emotional stimulus at this time, as your love and pleasure nature is heightened, open, and perhaps vulnerable to influence. You are opening up your heart, which can also mean you are more vulnerable to romantic illusions, to being swayed, and perhaps misled. You are easily charmed, and you must watch for a tendency to see what you want to see in romantic partners, rather than for who or what they are. You may gloss over important details and practical concerns in favor of idealistic visions and perceptions. Your desires are tender and compassionate. You are responsive to all things pleasurable, possibly to the point of carelessness or laziness when it comes to tending to practical affairs. Finances can suffer under this transit if you have a tendency to live on credit. Try not to borrow from your future, not just with regards to finances, but also when it comes to emotional matters. For example, you might throw yourself into a new romance that others warn you is not realistic. Force yourself to consider practical matters, even though you may resist it, while opening your heart to new possibilities. And, while opening your heart to new possibilities, be sure to use some common sense. Sometimes this transit makes us so vulnerable that we can too easily be taken advantage of or deceived, and this can happen with regards to money and in love, and sometimes both. There can be a lot of sadness as this transit can stimulate a deep yearning for something more than "just ordinary" life. We might attract challenging situations or relationships into our lives because of a deep longing for more drama or glamor in our lives, or for a soulmate connection. This transit can also do a number to your value system. The values you have cherished to date may change quite dramatically now, or you might be tempted to throw them away, or bend your morals, in pursuit of some pleasure or fantasy. As you chase something different, unusual, and otherworldly, you may lack discrimination in your choices of purchases, people, and pleasures.

I relate to some of that, but honestly, because Saturn is in Sag, I am LESS dreamy than usual and miss my old self.

I have suffered with trying to clarify my values, trying to maintain an interest in mundane life.

You & I both have Pisces moons so maybe that helps us get through this.

---

ETA:

My Venus is in the 5H and I've suffered with genuine confusion about how to raise my kids.

Do I sign them up for more sports?
Sports are so violent.

Do I take them to church?
Church can be so negative and my daughter is afraid of hell.

Should we travel more?
But isn't that just self-indulgent and expensive?

Push academics harder?
What for??? It's all pointless busy work.

That kinda thing. It really is the SAG issues that I'm boggled about: education, travel, religion.

Thank you so much for that, Faith! I definitely feel the Sag in my chart and I'm also feeling the saturn in my first which I don't mind. Personally, right now I'm going through changes relating to my work and personal identity ("what do I want to be when I grow up - even though I'm pushing 50" sort of thing).

I am more fearful in regards to my relationship - my boyfriend will be going through a positive venus transit at the same time I'm going through a semi negative venus transit... I don't have the best of luck in LTR's as it is - this one has managed to last for 8 years with enough commitment to keep us relatively happy and living together but not enough commitment to produce marriage (I guess I'm always a bit afraid one day he will decide he is over it).

Anyway, thank you again for your personal perspective - it has given me some peace of mind.

Watch your finances and sugar intake. You may get very indiscriminate about both.

Also, you may not be sure of what you value or what is important for a while.

You may even entertain the company of those that wouldn't have gotten your attention before.

I had Neptune in Aquarius squaring my Venus in Scorpio in college and I was dating and expressing my sexuality(Venus)like crazy.

I fell in-love, out of love, experienced heart break, broke hearts and still managed to get my act together to graduate....Thank goodness!!

It was also the years when I started drinking(Neptune) as part of my social life(Venus).

Neptune on Venus tends to relax(Neptune) your value system(Venus).

Watch my sugar intake and finances... story of my life

Thank you for this Aries! I will be watching for everything you've listed - I'm going to try and make this transit manifest in a positive creative way. I'm also hoping that the further neptune moves away from venus, the less I will feel it.

@Ann

Glad if I could help put you at ease.

I am checking an ephemeris to see what the rest of your transits look like, when this square is exact.
http://www.astro.com/swisseph/ae/2000/ae_2016.pdf

If I'm seeing the minute correctly, your Venus is at 11.34 Sag, so the first week of May has the most precise square. However, tr Neptune will square your Venus by degree from April 12 - May 31.

During that first week of May, Mercury is RX in third decan Taurus, Venus is just entering and transiting first decan Taurus, Mars is around 7 Sag, Jupiter is at 13 Virgo Rx, Saturn is at 15 Sag, NN 20 Virgo, BML third decan Libra.

So, Mercury Rx will not have opposed your Neptune yet, that doesn't happen until June. Venus will be opposing your sun, not such a huge issue...Mars near your Venus could energize you, anyway. Jupiter will be near your boyfriend's Jupiter, trine tr Pluto which falls in his first house, so that's good. What I like most of all is the NN on your MC, I feel like this will be a good time for you. People may feel that you represent, through your public action (MC) what we are collectively striving for (transiting NN).

Also, with tr Neptune trine your boyfriend's moon, and the sextile from tr Jupiter, I don't think he'll be in the mood to stir up contention.

But I would honestly check transits to the composite chart, for that week, if you're concerned, to see if there are any potential troubles. Maybe you would feel better if you had a good sense of how to take precautions; most specifically I would look at what transiting Mars is doing in the composite, what house(s) it affects, and focus on keeping those areas in good working order. I think that's the best we can do, applying astrology to the future...some stuff is out of our hands, but preparedness can feel good, as we wait.

Thank you so much for that, Faith! I could hug you right now!!! I will check our composite chart. - I think I've come to the point where if something is going to happen - it will. But you're right, we can still prep a bit. Forging ahead thinking positive!
