Hello, my name is Christopher Wrenstrom and I'm your weekly horoscope columnist here on astrology hub.

And this week I wanted to talk to you

about the Venus Neptune Square taking place on July 14th.

Now they say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but are you better off being beauty or are you better off being the beholder?

That's the question I want to you to think

think about as Venus approaches her square to Neptune. Now Venus,

Neptune squares are said to be the most deceptive of all astrological aspects that they're often associated with things like Ponzi schemes or with someone leading you on romantically or someone ghosting you saying that they're going to show up and never really showing up at all.

Okay, so all of these notions of deception of being led on are often associated to Venus squaring Neptune in the sky.

And of course what everyone's trying to describe here is probably one of the most dangerous emotions of all.

And that is the emotion of infatuation. Infatuation. Infatuation, wow, it's such an amazing ecstasy when you are filled with infatuation.

When you're crushing on someone, when your eyes meet, and then you quickly look away, or you see a picture of someone and you instantly fall in love. This is something that has been the stuff of romance novels and romantic poetry for centuries on end.

But something that our society regards as, you know, kind of silly and frivolous, this idea of infatuation,

it's amazing the kind of staying power that it really has. On one hand, we all want to fall in love. We all want to feel that infatuation, that that transport, that's what they used to call it in the 19th century, transported, that transporter feeling that takes you to a higher place of ecstasy, but at the same time, at the same time, that terrible fear of treachery, of being led on or being led astray.

These are all the things that are associated with infatuation. And of course when you're feeling an infatuation about someone,

and infatuations aren't just exclusive to people. You can be infatuated with an idea. You can be infatuated with a goal. You can be infatuated with the way that you see your life turning out. These are all infatuations. These can all be fantasies, all things that loved ones and friends try to talk you out of by giving you sobering warnings or by saying that you're simply not in possession of your senses.

So oftentimes when Venus is approaching a square to Neptune in the sky, especially nowadays,

with Neptune being in its own sign of Pisces,

so it's even more powerful.
