Neptune at odds with natal Venus

The yardstick for people and for prices runs high across these years, and the version being loved is usually the one filled in by imagination. Before any promise or payment, list what the other side has actually delivered and count only that.

In detail

Transit Neptune in challenging aspect to natal Venus names the stretch where the moving Neptune holds a tense angle to the Venus fixed in the birth chart. Neptune covers only about 0.36 arcminutes a day, so a 3-degree orb runs roughly three years, and a retrograde loop crosses the same degree three times, with the gaps between passes easily mistaken for the matter being finished. Venus governs valuation: what a person is worth, what an object is worth, what one is worth to oneself. Neptune dissolves edges, and once the ruler is blurred the figure that comes out is made of wish. What gets loved is the filled-in version, and money leaks through the same seam. Where Pluto against Venus burns a bond down to whatever is genuinely gold, this passage has no opponent at all, only poor visibility, and the accounts reconcile once the fog lifts.

FAQ

How long does this blurred stretch of judgement last?
Neptune moves about 0.36 arcminutes a day, so a 3-degree orb gives roughly three years, and a retrograde loop crosses the same degree three times. The quiet gaps between passes are often read as the end of it.
Does this mean the person is not real?
The person may well be real. What is unreliable is the measuring, so the sensible move is to postpone the most expensive decisions rather than to reject the relationship outright.
