Allegory of Sculpture. Gustav Klimt. We have a Venus retrograde coming up in Capricorn. The last time Venus was retrograde in Capricorn, was in December 2013 to January 2014, from 13 degrees to 28 degrees of Capricorn.

On Venus’ Encounter with Saturn & Uranus
The image for this post is a screenshot of the album In The City by The Chromatics as the song I’m On Fire was playing. It is the most Venus-Uranus conjunction in Aries song to ever do it. Use your best judgement with acting on romantic / pleasure/ aesthetic impulses as Uranus can stoke that…
