  • Venus in Leo trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (14 deg)

This aspect can attract more (Jupiter) of what you want (Venus). Venus in Leo is bold, entitled, passionate and dramatic. Brilliant swathes of creativity or romance, staged to impress. Jupiter expands this through a harmonious connection- a chance to take it further and celebrate.

This energy can be indulgent, as the trine indicates ease: you can attract without trying, just by being there. The romantic stakes are high and euphoric- confidence, risk and optimism make a potent combo.

You can’t really go wrong with this, but you can overdo it if you push things. Meaning, you can spend too much, display too much or expect too much, although in the moment it will feel really good. It will feel ideal, which is the Jupiter keyword. Jupiter is Rx but this does not dampen the flame. If anything, it means you’re getting a second chance at a missed opportunity or abundance/expansion is concentrated in one area. It’s helpful to be aware of your limits, especially since Venus is applying to an inconjunct with Saturn Rx, exact on August 9th.

But overall, if you want it and you’re ready to step out of the shadows, you can probably attract it (or entice others). Just remember that what seems limitless isn’t quite.

August 7th, 2019: First Quarter Square and the Shadow Behind the Shine

  • 1st Quarter Square between the Scorpio Moon and Leo Sun (14 deg)

  • Sun in Leo trine Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius (14 deg)

  • Sun in Leo inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

  • Scorpio Moon sextile Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)

The First Quarter Square triggers a crisis between depth and shine, dark and light. The Leo Sun (amped up by Jupiter) represents a showy, optimistic situation. It’s loud and proud, bold and beautiful. But the Scorpio Moon brings a darker undertone of something you don’t want to acknowledge – the shadow behind the shine. And yet, this darkness is necessary for you to fully understand the brightness. There’s more than meets the eye – shadow work to be done. In order to enhance what you’re proud of, you need to dig deeper.

The Sun’s inconjunct to Saturn emphasizes this through inconvenient limits, rules or authority. Watch for some brakes on your ego – someone with more power may tell you what’s not possible. As unpleasant as this is, the Moon’s supportive sextile to Saturn reminds you that these limits can be stabilizing. Really dig into the area around those boundaries. There can be deeper, richer resources in these narrow but immovable veins.

Limits create focus which creates concentrated energy; mine the restrictions for enhanced power.

August 5th, 2019: Social Sparkle With An Undercurrent of Lilith

  • Waxing Sextile between the Libra Moon and Leo Sun (12 deg)

  • Venus in Leo inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (10 deg)

The Waxing Sextile presents an opportunity. The Leo energy of subjective pride and “me first” attention blends with Libra’s objective “you first” vibe, for a nicely balanced social sparkle – others will appreciate what you’ve got going on, or you can celebrate in a way that includes everyone. This aspect is fun, a bit flirtatious and encouraging.

But Venus (ruler of Libra) makes an awkward inconjunct to BML, so there will be a spot of tension around taboo expressions of female sexuality or power. Venus in Leo is the public, “acceptable” display of female energy while BML in Pisces is the undercurrent of the witch/other woman/outsider. Lilith must be acknowledged, but somehow her energy must be balanced with what’s public (without allowing her secrets to undermine what you’re proud of). Think of her as the darker thread that runs through this bright energy.

  • Mars in Leo conjunct Juno (20 deg)

Passion and motivation fuel a relationship agreement. Commitment is based on pride in the partnership; there may be an agreement to act as one in order to succeed, gain attention or celebrate. A commitment can be based on the courage to stand at the centre of things and boldly declare yourselves.

This energy is about actively creating a union, or stepping out publicly and with loyalty. You’re more powerful as a united front.

August 2nd, 2019: The Day of Rebellious Women

  • Venus in Leo square Uranus in Taurus (6 deg)

  • Leo Sun inconjunct Black Moon Lilith in Pisces (10 deg)

A day for radical female energy.

Venus/Uranus (in Venus-ruled Taurus) is the disruption of secure or habitual expressions of attraction/values/ resources. What you thought was beautiful and worthy of attention will be upended. There can be anxiety combined with an irresistible urge to express a disruptive side of your love life/values/appearance. Will others accept and admire? Some will not, but some will be magnetized by the electric surge of individuality.

This is an aspect that pushes you to question what’s admirable or creative. There can also be a strong urge to take major risks, because the drive to break free and just be yourself/get what you want will be overpowering. Remember that any burned bridges cannot be rebuilt.

Sun/BML illuminates the tension between fame/pride/recognition versus a more subversive, less defined female energy. What you’re proud to display will have to be tempered with what most people don’t want to acknowledge (BML is the witch/prostitute/other woman/outsider). Her influence seeps into Leo’s bright glow and reminds you that there’s more going on underneath. Beneath the glamour is a current of cool, transcendent female energy that cannot be contained or defined. Your audience won’t approve, but that’s ok – this is how you draw public attention to Lilith’s issues.

The trick is not allowing BML’s energy to undermine your power. If she’s mishandled or ignored, she can really do a number on your ego. Treat her with respect but don’t allow her anger at being an outsider to dominate.

BML’s rage at being cast out is always there, no matter what sign she’s in. In Pisces, she may express this in subversive ways. If you’re not fully aware, you’ll ultimately be weakened by her distorted energy. Use her power as an outsider to stealthily dissolve the limits that are keeping you stuck, rather than dissolving your own self-esteem (by making destructive/addictive choices).
