Aspects
Neptune Opposition Sun
You tend to meet your own imagination and longing for transcendence through other people: you idealize partners, draw dreamers or those who need saving, or swing between enchantment and disillusionment. Balanced, it makes you deeply compassionate and inspired in connection. The work is seeing people as they are, not as you wish, and not losing yourself to a savior or victim role. At your best you bring real, clear-eyed compassion into your relationships.
Lean in — See people as they are, not as you wish them to be.
Watch for — Slip into the savior or the victim role to feel connected.
