I have this aspect and keep reading about illusion in relationships in the idealistic sense (rose-colored glasses).  But then something dawned on me and was wondering if anyone else with this aspect has experienced it....

Could the illusion be true, but in a different sense?  Rather than seeing through a pair of rose-colored glasses is it possible to be disillusioned by "murky colored" glasses?  Viewing your relationships in a more negative light than it is in reality? 

I have a Saturn square Neptune and I've been told I was prone to bouts of paranoia. I'm thinking about Venus now and I think that it is possible that the illusion could be murky. Elsa once told me that the way to fight a Saturn square Neptune was to fight an illusion with another illusion - basically a positive illusion to fight a negative illusion... So I would think it would be the same in Venus except in matters of relating and self esteem?

Yes, shell, I think so--

I have the square to neptune and saturn

It's never as bad as I think it is....

Or in other words: the illusion isn't real...

shell - yes!

That is such a relief to know, you have no idea. 

"It's never as bad as I think it is..."

If I wrote an autobiography I swear that'd be the title...haha...

I feel like the veil has been lifted =)

Glad you took off your veil :)

How else is your venus aspected?

Yay Shell! :)

Yeah curious about your Venus aspects. Perhaps there are more positive aspects involved! 

aw shell, this makes me so happy.

I love reading "ah hah" moment, haha, especially since neptune is such a difficult one to "ah hah"

 Hey Shell....

I have that aspect too and boy has it been painful for me.Personally, I vacillate between being completely optimistic about hopeless situations to worrying myself sick over losing what I actually do have.Although, I think the "rose-colored" thing has dissipated haha! I have found that taking the time to know yourself and your needs (not wants) is perhaps one of the best ways to steer clear of complete disaster.

whatever it is...know that you are a beautiful (venus),inspiring(neptune) presence.Even when you don't perceive that yourself,or others don't perceive you correctly (square).Ha boy! The stories that I could tell about my ven. nep.sq....
