The Death Degree Awakens: Venus, Uranus & Neptune’s Spiral of Liberation
BIG WEEK FRIENDS!
TODAY~ July 3, Venus and Uranus form a rare and powerful conjunction at 29° Taurus – the anaretic degree, also known as “the death degree.” This marks the final and most critical moment of Taurus energy before Uranus breaks new ground in Gemini on July 7, closing an 8-year cycle of shaking up our relationship to Earth, body, money, lovers, and worth.
Since 2018, Uranus in Taurus has disrupted everything we thought was stable – from financial systems to food sources to our personal sense of security. Venus, ruling Taurus, now meets Uranus in one final, electrifying embrace – signaling a breakthrough, breakdown, or both. And it’s happening just before Independence Day in the U.S. – amplifying the theme of freedom from the past.
But this year, July 4th holds more than fireworks…
🜃 Neptune Retrograde in Aries: Rewriting the Collective Myth
When Neptune entered Aries on March 30, 2025, it signaled a seismic shift in the collective psyche. After over a decade in Pisces (2011–2025), where it dissolved boundaries and magnified both mysticism and misinformation, Neptune now moves to ignite a new spiritual frontier—one rooted in action, identity, and individualized divinity.
This is the dawn of a new myth of the Self—not isolated, but sovereign. Not egoic, but soul-led.
But as Neptune turns retrograde on July 4, we’re being asked to pause and question:
- What dream have we collectively bought into since March?
- Are we following charismatic leaders or deeper truth?
- Is this revolution rooted in soul integrity—or is it performance masked as purpose?
This retrograde brings a course correction in collective narratives—especially around:
- Spiritual identity and martyrdom
- False prophets and performative activism
- Disillusionment with political “heroes” or savior figures
- Emergence of more humble, heart-aligned leadership
With Independence Day’s fireworks as a backdrop, Neptune’s retrograde whispers:
“Real freedom isn’t found in slogans or flags—it’s born from spiritual clarity.”
We are rethinking not just who leads, but why we follow.
This is a crucial moment to reclaim the collective dream from illusion, and to refine the vision of the future not as a fantasy of domination or escape, but a truly embodied, co-creative evolution.
Together, Venus, Uranus, and Neptune are offering a full-spectrum realignment:
- Venus–Uranus shocks us into new values,
- Neptune retrograde reveals where we’ve been spiritually asleep,
- Uranus into Gemini (July 7) opens a portal for new ways of thinking, speaking, and connecting.
And in the spirit of the season – it’s not just about independence anymore.
It’s about interdependence.
We’re not meant to be sovereign silos- we’re meant to be linked sparks in a living field. The new era asks for liberation not just from the old – but into communion with others, with Earth, with Source.
🌀 Ask Yourself:
- What outdated attachments am I being asked to release – lovingly, radically?
- Where has illusion blocked my inner sight?
- How can I celebrate not just my autonomy, but my sacred place in the web of life?
So thank each of you for doing this deep alchemical work…navigating the tremors, facing the illusions, and transmuting old wounds and stories into embodied truth. Your inner revolutions ripple out into the field, shaping the collective dream.
We are not just navigating the Shift. We are leading it…! ❤️🔥
