LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS

It seems long term relationships are far and few between. 

Long Term Relationships

During the course of a committed relationship, marriage or otherwise, there will be challenges.  The newness of a relationship only lasts so long and then wears off. The excitement begins to settle, and then the true “getting to know each other” actually begins. We become more comfortable in the relationship and our deeper personality traits now surface. This can be unsettling in some cases, and we can let little insignificant or large surprising traits irritate us.

We learn to adapt and accept our differences, or we can challenge and stress over these differences to the point that they may be deal breakers.

Some individuals will learn to adapt and are willing to make changes to themselves, while others may refuse to make any changes as they feel they should not have to change for someone else. 

In relationships, we cannot expect someone to change to suit us. We can only make changes ourselves, either in character, circumstance or attitude.

This can be where some relationships crumble while others gain momentum. At this point, due to acceptance some relationships actually become stronger as love, hard work and acceptance are the backbone of a relationship. There will always be times when the relationship experiences difficulties. The outside world influences everything it touches but if we recognize that the source of irritation is from outside the relationship, the bond can deepen.

For those individuals currently going through one of these phases, recognize that in most cases, a slight change of attitude can make a world of difference.  Acceptance, compassion and support for one another is essential. Most irritants are temporary. Remind yourself to review the circumstances and look at the influence of the events around you.  Illness, family, world situations, finances, worry, fear, anxiety and attitude must be taken into consideration.  These can have profound consequences on relationships. 

After reviewing outside circumstances, you likely will come to realize that your relationship is good but other parts of life may need some adjustments.

For those that are experiencing difficulties in their relationship and have been for some time, be sure to have clear communication. Seek counselling as a professional can offer advice that you may not have thought about. 

Long term relationships take hard work, perseverance, love and compassion. Do not let the stress of outside influences affect your relationships. Do the work needed. Your well-being and the well-being of your relationship is worth it!

NEPTUNE CONJUNCT NATAL SOUTH NODE

Neptune Conjunct Natal South Node

If you have transiting Neptune in Opposition to your Natal North Node, it will also be Conjunct your Natal South Node’s position.  The Conjunction is more powerful than the Opposition, therefore, we will focus on Neptune and the South Node. 

It should be noted, however, that the Oppositions, however, always have something to do with other people, and in this case, it’s quite possible that they are interfering with your path forward.

The South Node has energies similar to Saturn and having the South Node Conjunct Neptune suggests that there is a degree of uncertainty and things are unclear about the path forward.  The house placements will define the area of life involved. 

Neptune tends to cloud things when in challenging aspect.  Perhaps, you feel as though you are to blame for a recent issue in life, or alternatively, you may feel that someone else is the problem and they are making things difficult.  In most cases, it would be wise to reconsider and to take some responsibility although at the same time not to take total responsibility because likely the other individual is quite involved in what is going on too.

Currently (September 2025), Neptune and Saturn are in proximity to each other.  This in itself suggests a problem with distinguishing between what is real and what is not real.  You may have your eyes closed because what is taking hold is quite challenging and you may not want to see things as they are.  Perhaps you may feel that things will likely clear up over time and you may very well be right, but you cannot “hide your head in the sand” even if this is the case.  Be realistic and don’t worry where you don’t need to. Beware of exaggerating things in your head under these conditions. It is never a good idea to worry about possibilities.  See things as they truly are. It is best not to let your mind run wild.

Under these conditions, if you were to use these energies in an appropriate manner, you can intuitively know what is unfolding and ask for assistance from someone you trust to tell you the truth no matter what it may be.  Your intuition is strong now, but imagination can play a part. You must find out for sure what is imagined and what is real. 

As Saturn moves out of orb, there may still be some difficulties lingering until the South Node is no longer in orb as well.

Neptune conjunct natal South Node suggests uncertainty. When challenged, Neptune can cloud matters as well. Intuition will be strong under this aspect but ensure imagination is not influencing you.

GIVE AND TAKE IN APPROPRIATE PROPORTIONS

Give and Take in Appropriate Proportions

It is important in all relationships (marriage, friendships and even in business) to have a balance of give and take. 

With maybe the exception of a business relationship, we need to feel loved not just needed.  A relationship is based on balance. When we love, we give unconditionally but over time if we feel we carry the weight of the relationship, conditions begin to materialize.

All relationships take effort and hard work from all parties involved.

As they say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. 

For many, in the beginning of a relationship, it is pure bliss. As time passes, we begin to show our true self and to see the other party more clearly.  It is only then that we can begin to build a solid foundation for the relationship.

Give and take in appropriate proportions, as this is the cornerstone to all relationships. It takes work to build a solid relationship where you feel loved and valued. Oh, but it is so worth the effort!
