I'll again refer to the above quote by Hush10 from post #16, because I think there is a lot in it which is very true for this conjunction and how it affects people, especially when in relationship.
I live with my adult son. I have Mars-Neptune (closely, less than 1 degree) conjunct in Libra in 9th, both conj my MC. My son has Mars also in Libra, in the 12th house. His Mars forms the apex of a yod. He and I are forever unconsciously projecting our shadow selves on to one another. It is common for one or other of us to get really unhappy with the other over something-or-other, and there are times when the air between us is very dark indeed. Whenever I find myself thinking:
Why doesn't he do `x'? or
I really wish he were more `y', then my answer must be to see my projection on him as something I am deeply unhappy about in myself.
We are both very, very sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of the other, so sometimes I have no idea if my feelings are his or my own. This is where Mars-Neptune conjunct is very difficult to live with.
