Aspects
Neptune Conjunction Venus
Your capacity for love and the urge to transcend are fused, so love runs dreamy, compassionate, and idealizing: you long for a soulmate, love unconditionally, and carry a profound gift for art and beauty. You see the divine in people. The shadow is idealization, being deceived or self-deceiving in love, martyrdom, and dissolving your boundaries for a partner. The work is loving the real person, not the dream. At your best you bring a tender, transcendent, genuinely artistic love to the world.
Lean in — Love the real person, not the dream you projected.
Watch for — Dissolve your boundaries or sacrifice yourself for love.
