In relationship astrology, when the feeling function as represented by the Moon and the boundless, ethereal energy of Neptune link up, there’s potential for emotional intoxication.

Many of us know that feeling after we’ve had a few drinks: the slight “buzz” where our senses feel heightened and the whole world seems to become more fluid and permeable. However, we’re also familiar with having “one too many”, where the ability to distinguish fact from fiction and fantasy from reality takes over. We find ourselves severely impaired, and possibly regretful to boot.

When this planetary contact is shared between two people, it’s important that there’s a solid foundation within the relationship to navigate the highs and lows and the ebbs and the flows.

Chances are, there’s an ample batch of idealism present, as there’s a mutual appreciation of the existence of inspiration, which serves as a constant source of fulfillment. Within this space, It’s quite possible that both people can digest one another emotionally.

We all know that everything which goes into our system doesn’t always agree with us, so it’s paramount that there are workable boundaries as to clearly define who’s feeling what and what that means for the course of the union.

Successfully working with the contents of this aspect requires us to analyze what images our emotional picture making faculties are projecting on the screen of life and to ask ourselves if we’re depicting fair aspirations. Are we putting more on our partner than one human being could possibly manage? Are we literally drunk our of our minds with an impossible ideal of romantic perfection in which ALL of our needs are met by our beloved ALL of the time?

Honest analysis and exploration of these questions can truly mean the difference between sweet dreams and a nightmare.
