Venus enters Leo on July 27th at 9:53 PM EDT. Money, values, self-esteem and relationships are enhanced with pride, power and the desire to be number one. Attracting the best is a theme, as are bold displays – showier is beautiful. This is not the time to be subtle about what you want, but if you’re lacking in something the discrepancy between this and what another has will be that much louder. Jealousy and competition can be major issues during this transit.

Venus in Leo is creative and joyful when all is well. She loves to play, celebrate, express her talents and share her love. She can be extremely generous and demanding – people give a lot under this transit and want even more. All that glitters is paramount because the visual evidence of quality/love/success is crucial. Venus in Leo wants others to notice what she’s got going on and she’s not ashamed to admit it. And why should she be? She bold, dramatic and self-indulgent in this sign: romance and risk keep things interesting.

For those not accustomed to being so forthright about Venus issues, this energy can be uncomfortable. It’s also very easy to distort, especially if you’re unloved/unwanted/jealous. You can sneer at others while feeling bitter over what you don’t have – contrasts are hi-lighted in Leo’s bold light. But the purpose of these contrasts is to remind you of what you could have if you stopped dwelling on what you’re lacking. Not to say that we can all be rich, famous and airbrushed. But we do all want certain things. Venus in Leo will emphasize the distant glitter so you can take stock of what’s beautiful in your life and what situations might be blocking the acquisition of more love and beauty.

If you think you deserve better, what’s stopping you from attracting it? Note that Mars (action) will be in the same sign as Venus (although not conjunct) until Aug 18th, so action and attraction are on the same page. Act with confidence, joy and dignity to attract the same.

Here are the aspects Venus in Leo will make:

• Jul 28th: trine Ceres in Sagittarius (0 deg)

• Aug 1st: trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

• Aug 2nd: square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

• Aug 5th: inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (10 deg)

• Aug 8th: trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (14 deg)

• Aug 9th: inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

• Aug 11th: inconjunct Neptune Rx in Pisces (18 deg)

• Aug 14th: conjunct the Sun (21 deg)

• Aug 14th: inconjunct Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

• Aug 15th: square Juno in Taurus (22 deg)

• Aug 19th: sextile Pallas in Libra (27 deg)

• Aug 19th: conjunct Juno (28 deg)

• Aug 21st: Virgo ingress
