At 13:48 PT, Venus squares Neptune, casting a soft, dreamlike haze over our connections. This transit can bring confusion, illusions, or idealism in relationships, but it can also open our hearts to deeper empathy and spiritual love. It reminds us to ground our emotions, clarify our expectations, and notice where real love, platonic or romantic—anchors us to what matters.

With Venus squaring Neptune, the veils are thin, ideal for tuning into the emotional, intuitive side of your nature. Our birth chart reveals your patterns in love, compassion, and connection. Today’s transit encourages introspection and vulnerability, making it a powerful moment to explore the heart of your chart: what you need, how you relate, and what kind of love, and support, you’re truly here to receive.

Today, I’ve been thinking about friendship. Not the filtered, curated kind, but the raw, messy, hold-your-hand-when-you’re-lost kind. The ones who show up when the world feels heavy and remind you that you’re not carrying it alone.

There are people in my life who’ve saved me without even realizing it. A well-timed text. A laugh when I needed one. A memory shared that pulled me out of the past and into the present. And in a world that constantly tells us to keep it together, they’ve given me permission to fall apart and rebuild.

This Venus-Neptune energy can sometimes blur our lines, make us question what’s real or get lost in emotional fog. But it also shines a gentle spotlight on the quiet magic of our bonds. The ones that hold us when we forget who we are.

I used to think that fear was stronger than anything, that it could steal our joy, our trust, our openness. But friendship, I’ve found, is stronger. When someone truly sees you and stays? That’s the kind of love Neptune whispers about. Not flashy, not loud, just constant.

So today, I sent a few messages. “Thank you for loving me through my mess.” “I hope you know what you mean to me.” “You’re my anchor.” Because appreciation is a form of strength too. And when we take time to reflect on our real connections, we become more grounded in who we are.

This is what Venus square Neptune reminds me: yes, feelings are complicated, and yes, relationships take work,but love, in its purest, most honest form, always finds a way through the fog.
