Venus and Neptune

Venus and Neptune are quite similar in more than a few ways, but they are also vastly different. Likely the first thing you think of when correlating these two planets is love. They both dictate love in certain ways. But the kind of love they influence is entirely different. Venus is how you act in love and the kind of casual dating you like. It’s when you’ve loved someone for maybe a year or a few, but Neptune? Neptune is long lasting, unconditional love. I almost want to say that it is true love. Now, I don’t want to put it as Venusian love is more trivial than Neptunian love, but it is more common than Neptunian love. You know you are feeling Neptunian love when you know you can’t possibly fall out of it. Of course, Neptunian love may sometimes be worse, it can make you co-dependent or not really see your partner for all they truly are and all their flaws. 

Another thing you may think of when correlating these two is art. Though the difference between these two planet’s influence when it comes to art is more clear than when it comes to love. Venusian influence over art is that of what kinds of art you find beautiful, what art attracts you. But Neptunian influence over art is the kind of art you create, your imagination, it’s what you use art for. To put it simply, Venusian art is the kind you like experiencing while Neptunian art is art of your own creation. 

Then, what people might graze over when it comes to these two is desire. Venusian desire is the kind of desire as to things you want or experiences you want. Things you are passionate about that you desperately need to have. But Neptunian desire is the kind of “perfect world” you want. It is your idealized version of everything. You may find that achieving something of Venusian desire has much more of a short-term gratification than achieving something of Neptunian desire. 

Finally there is the correlation between these two planets and kindness. Venusian kindness isn’t really pure genuine kindness. It is one of charm, a natural charisma. But that’s all it is, a personality trait. Neptunian kindness on the other hand is one of self-sacrifice for the betterment of someone else. It is going out of one’s way to help another. It is giving their all to show genuine kindness from the bottom of their heart. While both are pleasant to experience and very true, Neptunian kindness seems to be a more evolved version of Venusian kindness. Although of course Neptunian kindness could end negatively with a martyr-complex.

Having any aspects between these two planets (especially major aspects) can make it so the the lines between these different types are blurred. For example aspects between Venus and Neptune could result in someone idealizing their partner and may up constantly daydreaming about them when they should be focusing on other things, even if they have only been dating for a relatively short amount of time. They’d also likely show a very Neptunian kind of kindness around their partner. It could also make for a person who has good artistic tastes and is very in-touch with their own aesthetic. They’d likely either be described as sweet or charming, but also a bit delusional. They may have unrealistic expectations for their life and may incorrectly feel as if getting those Venusian desires will be equivalent to those Neptunian desires.
