Good day friends! Our courage and confidence has been heightened during the past few weeks. This would’ve helped us to create and/or attract the yearnings from the heart. Now things are about to get a lot more serious AND real during the next four weeks. Venus (values, relationships, money) will be exiting glamorous Leo on […]

Venus in Leo conjunct Juno (28 deg)
Excellent partnership aspects today, as Venus harmonizes with Pallas in Venus-ruled Libra. Relationship strategies/plans are balanced and creative, and Venus/Juno indicates a bright, bold union of love and commitment. There can be a public agreement between two people that features mutual joy, pride and power. There’s also a bit of drama – the relationship with a flourish.
These aspects are about you and another in perfect harmony. Being together increases self-expression and cooperation, as well as success. There’s a strong social facet as well – the two of you at the centre of the party or on stage.
Whether or not you’re part of a couple, consider how joining forces with another (romantically or platonically) can boost your chances of success.
August 14th, 2019: Sun Conjunct Venus

Sun conjunct Venus (21 deg Leo)
Sun and Venus inconjunct Pluto Rx (21 deg Capricorn)
Sun/Venus illuminates what you want – a point of pride, romance, creativity or celebration. Everything is bold and out in the open, with added drama. Excellent for making your wants known, for celebrating yourself or starting a new situation on a bright note.
But the inconjunct to Pluto adds a thread of dark compulsion. You may want this more than you realize; watch for jealousy or possessiveness to sneak in. Pluto adds an uneasy sliver of insecurity as the bright thing is questioned. Is this for real? Is it/he/she all yours? Do they really love you?
While power dynamics must be acknowledged (ignore Pluto at your peril) don’t allow manipulation or insecurity to undermine what is an otherwise beautiful moment. Yes, there’s something in the shadows but it doesn’t have to stain what’s in the light. Be smart, stay aware and enjoy what this influence has to offer. Rise above coercion or jealousy – if one person wins it doesn’t mean another has to lose (Pluto can add an underhanded competitive streak).
Venus – Your Personal Taste In Relationships
Speaking of what you can and can’t stand in relationship, this is personal. I once dated someone who could not stand the way my voice carries when I talk. I can’t stand passive aggressive, so I married an aggressive man. … Read More…

August 9th, 2019: Make The Reality Work For You

Venus in Leo inconjunct Saturn Rx in Capricorn (15 deg)
Pluto Rx in Capricorn trine Vesta in Taurus (21 deg)
Venus/Saturn adds a bit of grit to the Venus/Jupiter trine. There are certain rules or limits which cannot be ignored, and they’ll cast a shadow over what you want. You may not get everything you desire, or there will be moments when you feel less than beautiful/worthy. Although the overall vibe is bright, bountiful and beautiful, Saturn is there to remind you of a specific reality. As you bump up against that limit, acknowledge it but don’t allow it to put out your fire.
Pluto/Vesta is empowered focus on resources/security, or empowering yourself by devoting your energies to what’s essential. There can be a fixation on physical matters, and the harmony of the trine encourages you to transform an existing situation by giving it your full attention. There’s great manifestation potential here, and the key is Pluto Rx’s concentrated deconstruction and excavation of current structures. Dig deeper, redefine the rules and use this to strengthen your material security or physical stamina.
This connects back to Venus/Saturn, as Saturn rules Capricorn and Venus rules Taurus. There’s a clue on how to handle the Saturn inconjunct – use the current realities and enforced focus to your advantage.
August 8th, 2019: Venus in Leo Trine Jupiter Rx
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 5th, 2019: Social Sparkle With An Undercurrent of Lilith

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.

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).
