Ah, Neptune in Pisces – so dreamy, magical, romantic…and delusional. This is the stuff magic and dreams are made of, and with Neptune in retrograde motion, we have the opportunity to take a really good look at how we can take ourselves willingly into a fantasyland.
But don’t despair! You don’t have to do this internal exploration of your vivid imagination alone. That’s where Venus in Virgo comes in!
Venus in Virgo brings our one-on-one relationships of all kinds into the mix. Your counterparts in these relationships help you keep your feet on the ground, or at least help you get your feet back on it if you’ve already gone floating into the rose-colored ether.
Your relationships help mirror you, reflecting both your own beliefs and behaviors and/or awakening you to what you do or don’t want for your own life experience. These revelations focus and inspire the next steps on your life journey, and with Venus in Virgo, they do this in very practical, efficient, and effective ways.
This isn’t to say the Neptune Retrograde in Pisces is rendered useless. In fact, it’s anything but that. Neptune is actually strengthened by this opposition in that you get to have your dreamy vision, yet you also get to create a real plan and take real steps to move it forward into manifestation. By taking steps in experiential reality to make your dreams an actual reality, your dreams won’t get the better of you.
This Venus-Neptune opposition was exact yesterday, July 26th, 2013 at 5:08a. However, it will still have influence well through the “Star” configuration on Monday, July 29th. Therefore, it may be to your advantage to reflect upon the last few days to see where you tend to delude yourself in your life and who or what keeps you in check. Identify the people you can count on to help you keep your “pie in the sky” from becoming “pie in your face”.
This is the practical magic of Venus in Virgo opposite Neptune Retrograde in Pisces. Make the most of it over these next few days to bring your dreams into manifest reality.
Thanks for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next post…
