The BIG NEWS today is Venus in Virgo opposes Neptune in Pisces and Mercury in Leo turns 'Direct'. Venus opposing Neptune came into the 'orb of influence' in applying degrees on August 20, 2024 and will last in separating degrees until September 5, 2024.

Venus is the co-ruler of Taurus (2nd house) and Libra (7th house). The 2nd house rules personal finances, morals, values, net-worth, which translate into self-worth. In other words, whatever you say you are worth, well then . . then ya' go. Your self-worth will reflect in what your personal finances look like. The 7th house rules contractual agreements within two (2) parties, which includes both business partnerships and personal relationships like marriages. Where an agreement is made 'contractually', which results in a binding union, that is the nature of this house.

Venus correlates with beauty, Love, things that are aesthetically pleasing and artistic in nature. Neptune is dreamy, creative and imaginative. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, which can cloud of vision. This is an important point because Venus is a cloud-covered planet. You have probably heard or may have said, "Get your head out of the clouds." Well, if Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, then you can understand why the vision is so clouded under this aspect. This results in a state of 'smoke and mirrors'.

Smoke and mirrors has a bit of magic and illusion attached to it. This is not the kind of magic where one would say, "Our Love is like magic!" or "The night we met was magic!" This magic is smoke and mirrors. In other words, it is embellishment. It's a bunch of hoo-ha and obscuring the Truth. The information being fed or said is either misleading, not exactly correct (a fib, just short of a lie) or the information simply does not apply, meaning it is irrelevant.

This aspect feeds into the realm of unconscious forces. Meaning, we are not really aware of these forces, BUT if you are reading this information, now you are aware of it and you can make yourself conscious of it.

I'm telling you directly about this aspect and it's now up to you to remember it. I will not be calling you to remind you or send you texts, you must make yourself aware of this 'smoke and mirrors' trick. Keep reading . . .

Venus rules the personal finances, so watch your tendency to talk about what you have in material possessions because this could be a window into your world of bills and credit card statements. Those who usually brag so much about what they have are usually insecure about something else. Smoke and mirrors folks! Why brag if people can already see? And if you brag, you are likely 'showy' as well.

Venus opposing Neptune creates a lack of discernment, which can create argument. You may be caught up in a web of fantasies and romantic illusions and become easily deceived in your close relationships.

Uh oh, is someone grabbing the mail before the other person sees it. Whoa! Talk about deception! Hiding bills from the partner making them think the couple is in a better financial position than they are in is flat out deception, lying and trickery. Damn!

Maybe there is too much self-indulgence in luxury, eating, drinking, sex . . drugs? Smoke and mirrors folks! This makes it easier to be susceptible to desires that could make you wander astray. There is a lot of confusion in matters of sex.

Emotionalism and self-delusion may cloud judgment, which could result in depression. This aspect makes the individual their own worst enemy. I would absolutely NOT gamble with this aspect present. I wouldn't even bet one (1) dollar! If you want to see your personal finances depleted in a hurry, then gambling under this aspect will do it.

Also, do not gamble with Love and make any jokes, innuendos, texts, emails, suggestions or even talk to a person in a way that you would not talk to them if your spouse/mate was with you. If you are starved for attention, then find another way to get attention rather than risking your relationship.

Venus opposing Neptune will reveals scandals, so watch the news. This has to do with sex, Love and money because remember, it clouds the mind and distorts perception. If you are even remotely entangled in a Love triangle with this aspect, activating the connection or engaging in infidelity during this aspect will surely get you caught.

Secret Love affairs or secret connections with money that are camouflaged and veiled from others will eventually be revealed. Unfaithful romantic connections will end in divorce because it not only undermines the other individual, it undermines the entire marriage. It undermines money, Love and sex. STOP IT!
