I come back to this synastry again.
The Neptune squares and perhaps Pluto and Uranus seem to come out heavily. Miscommunication and an odd imbalance of power are constant themes. He says I think he is incompetent and don't respect him, and makes awkward jokes about how I'm intimidating. I've never had a boss that shows insecurity like this.
I try to show support whenever I can - get him information he needs, put his decisions/ideas into action, etc. In turn, he has been supportive of me. I do believe we genuinely want to help each other.
It likely stems back to that explosive argument from when he was first hired. He seems to think I have no faith in him, which isn't true. However, it is clear I don't find him a "superior" in the sense he is accustomed.
The most recent Neptune-laden event occurred when I sent him an email about yet another miscommunication. I told him what happened (as he didn't have the whole story), and how I'd like it to happen in the future. He apparently perceived the email as accusatory, as if I thought he should have already known the whole story, which was not the intention at all.
He called me almost immediately to discuss it, but I was busy by that time and not at my desk. Before I even knew he called, he sent me an email complaining that I was ignoring him, that he needed to defend himself, and he was worried I thought he was purposefully deceiving me. He tried to make it light-hearted, but I found it bizarre. I expected the response to be "noted" and we move on. I responded to apologize for missing his call, and clarify that I was trying to inform him, not accuse him of anything.
We like all the same books and TV shows, though. We socialize easily when work isn't the topic. Thank goodness for Venus-Sun and Venus-Mercury conjunctions.
