Nov. 8 “BEWARE THE MIRAGE”

Hey, feeling let down? Disillusioned and dishevelled? No matter who you are, the combined Venus-Uranus ( ⊼ ♅) and Neptune ( □ ♆) influences atm have the overwhelming tendency to lure you further into a complex web of shifting desires, where intense, short-lived impulses can morph into obsessions—where ideal people or possibilities that sparkle with promise or disdain (love/hate) remain ungraspable.

DON’T GET EXCITED. THERE’S REALLY NO EASY WAY OUT.

Without clear-eyed self-awareness, you risk scattering your energy on visions/mirages: idyllistic relationships, creative projects, or exorbitantly noble belief systems or missions that may ultimately be hollow, unable to nourish your deeper needs.

VENUS IN SADGE is highly idealistic, a placement that can make you a magnet for intense yet chaotic encounters—you’re infatuated with someone who seems completely off the planet, promising to open up your mind (or close it), offering glimpses of something completely out of this world. But just as quickly, disillusionment sets in when reality fails to align with the promised ideal, leaving a cycle of disappointment.

This irresistible allure of “what could be”, or “what should have been” distracts from facing what is, making it difficult to commit or establish lasting emotional security. The more this promised holy land slips through your fingers, the more you might be tempted to pursue even more fantastical or impossible connections, perpetuating an unconscious resistance to commitment and heading off to chase moonbeams, fairy-flocks & rainbows.

Moses, smell the roses…

Grounding is the only antidote here, guys: Ffs, find an anchor by channelling these powerful Neptunian impulses towards creating tangible expressions, (think art, music, fine literature or meaningful community projects—not TikTok shit). Rather than merely indulging escapist, hifalutin tendencies, use the visionary qualities of Neptune to create something enduring that offers others a glimpse of the mystery you’re so captivated by.

Yeah—firm boundaries—both emotional and financial—because any unchecked idealism here risks draining your resources, materially and energetically. Since both Uranus/Neptune are both Rx, some soul-searching instead of hunting for wild geese that lay them golden turds. Lean into your meditation, self-reflection, or anything that will help you focus inward to clarify your motivations, helping you differentiate between fantasy and reality, reinforcing some self-discipline… anything that can integrate rather than dissipate your passions.

By recognising and embracing this energy consciously, you can flip the dynamic—no longer chasing transient desires but instead giving shape to your dreams, harnessing the beauty and vision of these aspects without letting them destabilise you. This approach transforms what might otherwise be chaotic into a deep wellspring of creative and emotional strength, grounding your visionary ideals in a structure that’s sustainable and authentically fulfilling.
