Today we're going to take a look at the upcoming opposition between Venus in Cancer and Pluto in Capricorn. Now, this transit is not technically perfecting until August 9. But because we're moving into that three-degree engagement range, it should be building over the weekend, so I feel it's worth talking about before next week.

Today we're going to take a look at Venus's upcoming trine to Neptune. Venus is in the sign of Cancer right now, culminating in that sign, coming into those last degrees before it will shift into Leo. As it does so, it's making a trine to Neptune in Pisces. That's a lovely watery trine between a feminine goddess-themed Venus and transcendental, watery, oceanic Neptune.
