You keep meeting people who need saving, and you keep telling yourself this one is different. The one who needs something is easier to love than the one who is simply there.
What it looks like in a life
You fall in love with who someone could be and stay long past the point where they showed you who they are. Or you are the one being idealized, and you can feel the pedestal from underneath. Relationships blur: you stop knowing where your mood ends and theirs begins. There is often a rescue in the story, money lent and not returned, a sickness, an addiction, a long stretch of waiting. Neptune spends around fourteen years in a sign, so that sign is shared by everyone your age. The opposition to your Moon is what makes it personal, and it puts the whole thing in your relationships.
The gift
You love without keeping score, and people feel that immediately. Oppositions teach through the other person, so you have learned more about yourself from three relationships than most people learn in a lifetime of solitude. Once you stop projecting, you become the rare person who can stay close to someone in real trouble without getting swallowed by it. That is a skill, and you paid for it.
The friction
You hand your own longing to someone else and then wait for them to live it for you. The rescues are not selfless. They keep you from looking at what you actually need, which you were never taught to say out loud. Disappointment is built into the arrangement, because nobody can be what a projection is. Then you grieve, and you are back at the start with a different face across the table.
The esoteric layer
The opposition runs on full-Moon logic in the esoteric tradition: the light comes from standing across the sky from the other, and the tension holds until a third, reconciling point is found. That is why the aspect gets called relationship as a spiritual discipline. Neptune brings the sixth ray, devotion, and its stated danger is glamour: the vision you fall for instead of the thing itself. Opposite the Moon, the glamour attaches to people. The reconciling point is not a better partner. It is devotion pointed at something that cannot disappoint you.
Where this goes
The houses these two sit in say which part of your life you keep outsourcing and which part is meant to hold the longing. That is the ground a therapeutic astrology session works on.
