Don’t pass over the reins to anyone else. The Venus/Neptune square points to lapses in others’ judgment. Stay in the driver’s seat.
Venus can’t say no to romance and Neptune doesn’t want to break the spell. Where does that leave you? Making the tough calls that people can’t make for themselves.
You’re not living in a fool’s paradise. You truly are on to bigger and better things. You’ve every reason to expect the best.
Cool it with the tit-for-tat. Keeping score encourages others to do the same. You’d do much better cultivating feelings of camaraderie.
