An opening comment:
I have been spacing the introduction of new threads in this series so that they don't crowd the many other interesting topics and questions that are offered in the Astrology sub-forum. If you wish to have these introduced more frequently then please let me know. Alltogether, there are 9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 or 44 combinations to explore, but the combo's between the outer planets are common among the same generation -- so there are a limited number to cover, perhaps 25 to 30 combinations that are worth covering. So, we will be busy thru the fall and winter.
SUN CONJUNCT NEPTUNE:
When this occurs in a natal chart we find a dreamer, one who goes thru life in a casual, trusting manner, expecting the best in self and others, having great imagination, one who might be a mystic or an actor or somehow engaged in another world of some kind.
When we are dealing with a partnership, all of this changes. If there are other positive aspects between the charts then this pairing tends to take on more positive expressions -- inspirational exchanges, sympathy, sensitivity. One lover (Neptune) can almost worship the other (Sun), showing great devotion. When other aspects are more adverse, this pairing can turn into a not-so-good expression -- Pity by Sun for Neptune, deception and suspicsion between the partners over imaginated slights, forgetting or being distracted (Neptune) by events/thoughts, disappointing Sun partners. Once the alure fades, confusion and doubt sets in.
SUN TRINE or SEXTILE NEPTUNE:
These combinations are much the positive sides of the conjunction. We can look for unique forms of personal expression in order to see these two bodies at work in a partnership. One admires the spiritual and imaginative qualities of the other -- a tarot reader, a religous person, an actor, an artist. Shared time may include a lot of conversation -- talk of fashions, movies, books, celebrities that espouse causes and movements, new-age fads, social events and movements, etc.
SUN SQUARE NEPTUNE (as well as the 45 degree multiples):
Look for the negative aspects that might apply to the conjunction. These can include outright deception, ongoing misunderstanding relating to a lack of communication or focus, a lack of trust by Sun for Neptune, doubt, some form of infidelity being likely or at least suspected -- damaging the relationship in any case.
SUN OPPOSITE NEPTUNE:
Sun may be driven to distraction by Neptune as Neptune at first inspires, then waffles or acts in a bewildering manner. The Neptune partner does not appear to be a constant factor to the Sun partner. While there may be some forgiveness and attraction in this opposition, the likelyhood of long-term positive relationships is poor if the partnership is a constant, daily one. This is better if short-term projects or contacts are the rule.
COMMENTS:
It is, to me, easier to descern Sun-Neptune contacts in a natal chart than in a partnership as there are so many ways to express a Neptune energy. Often, Neptune can hide itself, using another aspect-pattern to give it some form. It will be interesting to see what the list members share on this. Dave
