Funny. The paedophile sympathy thing was my first example in the previously posted thread. But I thought that it too controversial. Didn't want to go there.But make no mistake that there is sympathy on that end too. Their sympathy knows no bounds.
My Mom has the opposition and is swept up by emotions a lot. Sometimes swinging between being empathetic and understanding. Then at other times absorbing the collective "fear" energy and being a religious fanatic (another manifestation of Neptune just like fans being absorbed in celebrity lives and stalking them)
She is seldom vocal about her real feelings. But she often shares her feelings in relation to religious beliefs (much to the irritation of both myself and my sister)
On your question on whether they absorb your moods?
Neptune can absorb public energy or energy of those close to them so easily and that is why retreat, isolation or even periods of solitude are necessary for them.
They can get lost in the energy vortex and end up being inundated to do things or feel things that do not represent them or speak of who they really are inside i.e. they walk out of their apartment happy only to come back sad after listening to a neighbour share a "woes me" story with them etc.
On the Libra energy you suspected;
Now Libra energy definitely works to exacerbate Neptune energy. No doubt.
The sense of superficial societal "order" or "peace" if Neptune is skewed towards certain naive beliefs, can at times be all important than justice.
I have heard Libra's argue that apartheid was "not all that bad" as people "knew their place" so there was no "mixing" etc.
So on their end they did not recognize or validate the psychological suffering and pain that there was. As there was "order" (albeit superficially) from their perspective because "black and white didn't mix" etc.
The term "good fences make good neighbours" could have might as well been made up for or by a Libra. They often just want the idea of "peace", even if its got no tangible realness to it. Scorpio can resent them for this type of superficiality.
Maybe that is why Pisces is exalted in Venus? Hmmmm. Because Venus is really also about illusions.
And yes, criticism is not easy to take. Just like someone with Mars aspects may detest criticism from others because it prevents them from pure self expression.
Both Neptune and Mars people have an uneasy feeling and dissatisfaction with being criticised.
Where Mars tends to "push back" on resistance to their will and become oppositional and even violent. Neptune on their end, tends to ingest what others are saying and internalize that "maybe I am wrong by feeling like this" etc.
They may also decide to hide their feelings and not share them at all. Perhaps act in secret.
12th house rules hidden sexual proclivities, affairs, actions taken in secret or things that are done behind people's backs.
Thank you so much aries23! I'm learning so much!
My mother has a 12th house moon! So I can relate to how you describe your mother! Mine is also religious haha, or well, we all are in my family 
Omg so you were gonna mention pedophilia thing?!
I find it very disturbing, how he said that. But also, my moon is ON his Ic. ANd his in my 8th, I think he often blurt out stuff like that bc he feels safe with me, to express himself.
Oh yes! I really resent superficial libra energy
.... ok I get you are charming and harmonic, but I wanna see the real you, your darkest sides, oh I know you will show it to me, I just have to observe you some more, and then start to push your buttons until you put aside that superficial mask and act out your "bad sides" 
Oh yeah they don't like critisizm. But one has sun in virgo, his ego does not get hurt, he will take in what one says, and he tries to better himself.
The other super accomadating libra and 7th house stellium guy, has Leo sun. He can't stand even constructive ones.
But he will never show he got hurt, Hell he does not even know himself his ego got hurt I think haha. Too much libra energy.
BUt WTF they cant take it but they can critisize me just like that?
Just today they were laying out something about my communication style they don't like. ( in a very friendly non-confronting manner)
And they just give neg feedback directly but never good feedback! I mean, how does that work? When they are so empathic!
It bothers me so much, I did even ask "hey is it all bad? You guys makes me so selfconcious, now I won't be able to relax talking to you!".
And they just laughed it away... seemed to not understand how bothered I got.
Or well, maybe bc guys are not comfy giving nice caring feedback? I mean I Know they care deeply for me, but anyways
I have mercury conjunct my sun, a gemini stellium, pluto in 3rd, my communication style is very important to me!
