Venus square Neptune natal creates difficulties with how you love yourself and others, leading to low self-esteem and disappointment in love without corrective action. Loving yourself is essential to having healthy and loving relationships. Therefore, learning to love yourself is vital in addressing this challenging aspect.
It is familiar with this aspect to feel unloved, unlovable, victimized, and ostracized. You may think that you are too different or strange in the eyes of others and not accepted by the in-crowd. It is essential to realize that what you feel others think of you may not be accurate. If there were any truth to this perception, it would be mainly due to the signals you send about yourself.
Once you realize that Neptune distorts your self-image, you can improve your feelings about yourself. As Neptune rules mirrors, film, and screens, a great way to enhance self-love is to repeat positive affirmations in the mirror. As Venus rules beauty, improving your appearance through cosmetics and fashion can be worthwhile. Show off to yourself in front of the mirror, take selfies, even video yourself and see how beautiful you are. Dance around a bit, be sexy and strip off even. No one has to see… not if you don’t want them to.
Once you love yourself inside and out, you will find that your love life and other areas will improve. However, it is also possible that Neptune may distort your appreciation of other people. There would be a tendency to over-idealize romantic partners, being blind to their faults. This would leave you susceptible to significant disappointment, being taken advantage of or being someone’s doormat, or even their sex slave.
Another significant danger of not addressing your self-image is that of self-abuse. The opposite of love is hate; hating yourself would lead to a downward spiral of self-harm. This would include unhealthy eating, leading to either obesity or anorexia. Depression is a significant reason for addiction to alcohol and other poisonous drugs or medications.
Venus Square Neptune Transit
Venus square Neptune transit can lead to insecurity about yourself and your appearance. You may feel that others are looking at you oddly or think you are strange in some way. It is essential to realize that such impressions are distorted and do not match reality. A poor self-image at this time can lead to relationship difficulties. You can also experience disappointment in your love life by forming a distorted image of someone else. There is a tendency to over-idealize romantic interests at this time, ignoring the obvious faults which are plain for others to see.
Both situations leave you susceptible to significant disappointment, being taken advantage of or being someone’s doormat, or even their sex slave. This is very easy to deal with if you are in a healthy relationship due to mutual understanding and trust. Relationships on rocky grounds would be more problematic, and trust matters may become an issue. Starting an affair at this time would prove difficult to hide.
Although your heightened need for tenderness and affection may lead to a new relationship at this time, you must stay conscious of the confusing Neptunian influence. It would be wiser to wait until after this transit before committing yourself or being too trusting of another person.
Poor self-esteem and lack of self-discipline make this the wrong time for dieting or partying. You will be more susceptible to the depressive influence of alcohol and more susceptible to poisoning in general, and addiction is more likely if you dabble in drugs. Regular users should beware of overdose, infection, or being ripped off by dealers.

And do we feel it just during that day?
Thanks Jaime and Happy 2016!!
One day either side but the 24 hours leading up to it is the strongest. Happy new year to you too!
“Once you come to the realization that Neptune is distorting your self-image, you can get to work on improving how you feel about yourself.” thank you Jamie! I have struggled with this aspect and the times that I’ve had success in overcoming it have been through doing mirror work. THANK YOU!
Happy New Year.
Excellent feedback, thanks.
Want to thank you too Jamie, I have this plus Venus is in my 12th H (!) and my Neptune is conj my Moon …. cue violins
Will be doing a bit of mirror work : ) just give it a quick clean first (Virgo Sun conj Pluto)
I’m a Pisces Sun 10 degrees. I woke up this morning with a really deep feeling of sadness. NO CLUE where it came from! I didn’t even think to look at the aspects today. Just looked at them tonight and voila! Your explanation really shed some light on this one for me. Thanks Jamie!
Thanks for sharing your happy nature from the fixed star Skat.
Venus conjunct Mars transit square to natal Neptune in Scorpio. Oxytocin poisoning and withdrawal symptoms.
How interesting. Just short term use? I’m a happy and content Subutex man.
HI Jamie
What if its squares in the 8th (Neptune) and 11 houses (Venus)?
Hi Jamie
What if squares in the 11th Venus and 8th Neptune?
How can you have Venus trine Mars and Venus square Neptune at the same time? They are opposing…one says “love is great today” the other says ” your self love is terrible today”. How can they both be right?
Well, there is one explanation:
Venus trine Mars shows you like have sex with someone and Venus square Neptune says you are not in love with your partner.
I once knew a man with venus in pisces square neptune, he had a blurred image of me, almost delusional, and instead of ‘sacrificing’ for me (which venus square neptune seem to suggest), he wanted me to sacrifice for him, to the point I just couldn’t take it any more and ran. He also had saturn and mars (but do not conjunct) in his 5th house.
I really disagree with this interpretation of Venus Square Neptune. We have to stop always insisting that if people have difficulties in life that they are suffering from low self-esteem. It’s subversive and not accurate for everyone. Astrology is a science of energies, really. Sometimes, your energy is fine when you’re by yourself and fine with certain people, but not with others. That is a conflict of energies. We don’t live in a bubble; we act, interact and react to the energies that are all around us and sometimes, it is frustrating. I think a person with low self-esteem would not acknowledge that hurt and accept that their difficulties were deserved. Those of us who say, “Hey, there’s something wrong here and I don’t like it!” are not people with low self-esteem. Be careful buying into this script, it may not be for you.
Well said. Me and the other is Venus square my Neptune. 20 odd years of it and I don’t like it!
That helps to put up with it.. not enjoyed it though.
Yes browin329 that feels like a good take acknowledging a sense of hurt.
This was helpful beyond belief. I’m 27 now and always wondered why I couldn’t leave the house with pampering my looks or deviating in sexual relationships that seem to go no further than just that. So thank you I’m currently coming to understand my gripes. I feel like free woman for reading this.
