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).

August 1st, 2019: Venus in Leo Trine Chiron

  • Venus in Leo trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

Harmony between Venus and Chiron means finding beauty in the pain. Venus in Leo is proud and passionate, but Chiron adds a touch of humility- there’s an awareness of what it’s like to be an outsider/to be insecure. This aspect enables the confidence to accept what hurts, and the wound can enhance attraction and appreciation – the audience is drawn to the “weakness.”

Healing is found through the recognition that you are special and beautiful, because of your wounds.

July 28th, 2019: Sun Trine Chiron, Venus Trine Ceres

  • Leo Sun trine Chiron Rx in Aries (5 deg)

  • Venus in Leo trine Ceres in Sagittarius (0 deg)

Sun/Chiron is healing through pride and courage. Putting yourself forward to celebrate your talents/take a risk are excellent antidotes for fear. But this energy blends confidence with empathy – you know what it’s like to hurt so your pride is infused with compassion. This aspect has considerable magnetism as people are drawn to your light and the heat of your healing.

Venus/Ceres is about love and nurturing expressed through passion, joy and hope for the future. The “mothering” vibe encourages freedom – grow what’s dramatic, obvious and exciting. You can attract others if you nurture your confidence and their confidence – Venus/Ceres brings out the best in others when care and affection are expressed openly, with no strings. In this case, your own flame must be stoked before you can spread that warmth.

Venus’ Transit of Leo: What You Want

by  •

Erik Johan Löfgren

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

July 24th, 2019: What Really Matters

  • Last Quarter Square between the Taurus Moon and Leo Sun (1 deg)

  • Mercury Rx in Cancer conjunct Venus (26 deg)

The Last Quarter Square can see you questioning what’s showy/obvious as more solid (and perhaps boring things) nudge your awareness. What you can rely on, or what you already have, is worth taking note of – the contrast between this and what’s shouting for attention can reveal important questions about your financial security or values. Back to basics is important.

Mercury Rx conjunct Venus (which rules Taurus) hi-lights the question of values, money or self-esteem. Taking a second look at what you want and need, or revisiting a message/messenger from the past can uncover beneficial information. This aspect can deliver good news, but in the context of the Third Quarter Square, it will also involve deeper questions about what you want/love. This is about more than pleasant words – there’s a clarification of what really matters. If you’re having an important conversation, choose your words carefully for maximum emotional resonance. Go for quiet attraction over drama.

July 21st, 2019: Dark Truths

  • Sun conjunct Mercury Rx in Cancer (28 deg)

  • Venus in Cancer opposite Pluto Rx in Capricorn (21 deg)

Watch for some uncomfortable truths to be revealed. Sun/Mercury is the midpoint of the Mercury’s Rx, so emotional facts/info should be illuminated. You may gain an understanding of family issues/issues from the past. Or, the return to a past conversation can reveal a truth that you feel and understand.

Venus/Pluto adds an intense conclusion to the above. Pluto unearths dark compulsions, fears, obsessions or desires that lie behind Venus’ money, relationship or self-esteem issues. There can also be a profound “death” in one of these situations. The greater the attraction (or the more powerful the ending) the greater the transformation potential. Venus in Cancer wants safety and comfort, but Pluto insists on pushing things outside the comfort zone.

Oppositions also suggest projection, so these aspects can reveal some interesting facts about what you think you want – often, someone embodies what you need to develop within yourself, and your all-consuming obsession with them is simply a reflection of this.

It may feel as if what you want or have is wrapped up in primal, childhood dynamics. Power/domination can create unbalanced relationships with one partner as parent and the other as child. The Sun/Mercury conjunction will reveal a truth about these dynamics, so keep your eyes open.
