Venus Conjunct Uranus at 29º Taurus | Venus Enters Gemini | Neptune Stations Retrograde in Aries
There’s a sacred electricity moving through the cosmos today. The sky hums with a quiet urgency, a pulse that feels like change trembling just beneath the surface. You can feel it..a vibration in your chest, a subtle pull toward something freer, something more true.
Venus, the planet of love, beauty, self-worth, and what we hold dear, meets Uranus, the great awakener, at 29º Taurus - the anaretic degree, the final karmic release point of the sign.
The 29th degree carries the weight of lifetimes. It’s a threshold, an edge where cycles complete and attachments loosen. It’s where the heart is asked to surrender what no longer breathes life into it. This is where the old stories of love, worth, and pleasure begin to unravel.. sometimes gently, sometimes through a thunderous crack that splits you wide open.
Uranus doesn’t wait for permission, its medicine is wild, its timing is precise, it moves like lightning, cutting cords, dissolving cages, and opening back doors you didn’t even know you needed to find. Something may shift suddenly today, a relationship, a desire, a self-concept you’ve long protected. It might feel disorienting at first, but this is not chaos without purpose. This is sacred liberation. This is your soul’s rebellion in motion.
Venus conjunct Uranus is a cosmic reminder: your heart is not meant to be caged, your desires are allowed to evolve and your pleasure is allowed to change shape.
And freedom isn’t just an idea, it’s something we must and deserve to live in our bodies.
As Venus crosses the threshold into Gemini, the air clears. The weight begins to lift. There’s a magnetic pull toward curiosity, new conversations, and stories not yet written. Venus in Gemini is the playful lover, the one who knows the heart doesn’t need to cling. She dances, she gathers experiences and connections with light hands and an open heart, she craves variety, stimulation, intellectual connection, freedom of movement, and the sacred space to change her mind.
Here, love becomes a dialogue and desire becomes playful.
Pleasure becomes a question: What else is possible?
There’s an invitation now to unhook from the heavy grip of certainty. To allow love to be lighter, to explore, to flirt, to follow the threads that spark curiosity, without forcing them to lead to a fixed destination.
Venus will dance through Gemini until early August, asking you to:
Speak your truth in love and pleasure.
Stay open to surprise connections.
Let your desires shift and evolve without self-judgment.
Embrace your contradictions and the sacred multiplicity within you.
Gemini teaches us that the heart can hold many stories at once.
And while this playful curiosity stirs in the air, a quieter, more mystical movement is unfolding beneath the surface. Neptune stations retrograde at 2º Aries. This is subtle, but it holds profound medicine. Neptune has only just begun its long passage through Aries.. a once-in-165-year cycle that will reshape how we lead, how we fight, how we dream, and how we hold faith in ourselves.
As Neptune begins its first retrograde in Aries, we are gifted a sacred pause. The mist begins to thin and the illusions we’ve been charging toward start to dissolve. Aries energy is fiery, fast, urgent, it wants to act, to conquer, to move. But Neptune’s retrograde calls us inward, it softens the sharp edges, it dissolves false urgencies and gently pulls back the veil to reveal what we’ve really been chasing.
Neptune whispers: What are you fighting for? What are you chasing? And beneath it all, what do you truly long for?
This retrograde begins a process of sacred decalcification. It dissolves the hardened places where we’ve confused the chase for purpose, where we’ve wrapped ego around urgency, where we’ve built identities that no longer feel alive.
This is the beginning of a mystical reorientation. The fire is still here but it’s purifying now. The heat can be softened. The battle can be re-evaluated. You may start to feel the masks slipping, the armour becoming too heavy to carry. The need to fight may start to feel hollow. The places where you’ve escaped into busyness or self-righteous action might become harder to sustain.
Neptune retrograde reminds us that sometimes, the deepest courage is in slowing down.. Sometimes, the truest fire is the one that burns away the illusion, not the one that fuels the chase.
This is a sacred moment. Not to figure it all out, not to force answers but to make space for the new, the surprising, the liberating. It’s a moment to honour the parts of you that are ready to unhook from what’s been, even if you don’t yet know what’s next.
Let life surprise you, let your desires shift. Let your heart open.. not because it’s safe, but because it’s ready to breathe again.
You are not bound to the stories you’ve told. You are not trapped in yesterday’s version of yourself. The cosmos is conspiring for your freedom, can you let it?
