Venus in Leo is coming up (September 6th to October 3rd). The planet of love and money will shine like a small sun in the sign of creativity, celebrations and romance.
But first…
Venus is still in Cancer, and she’s currently hitting a square with Saturn (limits) at 26 degrees Libra. Relationship/financial needs (Cancer) will bow to realities (Saturn in Libra). It doesn’t mean you won’t get anything, but you’ll have to be a grown up about what you don’t get.
That special evening with your significant other is postponed because of work commitments. You can’t quite afford to buy X. Mr. ____ did not respond the way you wanted. How do you respond when your needs aren’t met? If you can find a way to provide for yourself and accept that external sources of comfort are not always available, you’ll breeze through this grumpy little aspect. Remember that Saturn in Libra demands social (Libra) maturity (Saturn).
This aspect will be exact on September 3rd, after which it will diminish. Those with planets between 25-26 degrees Libra and Cancer will feel the hardest pinch. But then, it’s on to Venus in Leo!
You’ll feel a shift as Venus enters the section of your chart with Leo in it, because this is where you’ll be attracting favorable attention. Venus always attracts, but Leo is where you shine the brightest (and demand the most attention in your life). The creative/romantic potential with this influence is huge; Leo is about giving your ego a feel-good outlet. But the potential for drama, diva-behaviour and overdoing it in order to impress is also huge. Keep the following in mind:
- The fullest expression of Venus in Leo involves pride in yourself and your relationships. During this transit, keep asking yourself if you’re proud of what’s happening. If the answer is “No”, you have some adjustments to make.
- A crucial aspect of the whole “pride” thing is quality. Leo demands the best, Venus likes it pretty. It will be easy to get sidetracked by appearances, but keep testing for quality. Does this new relationship have depth? Does what you’re buying have value beyond the initial “Wow” factor? What kind of attention are you attracting?
So polish up your talents, step up and grab some attention. Just remember…you’re going for the very best.
Hello Nadia!
thank you for this. I am very intrigued by this : ‘ Leo is where you shine the brightest (and demand the most attention in your life)’ as Leo is where Uranus is on my chart (18°) and also has House 11 start at 26°… It’s very confusing to me as it spans mostly the 10th house, where Uranus is, and starts the 11th almost at its end… (I’m Gem w Libra rising – Pisces Moon opposite Pluto, also in House 11 but 3° Virgo. (orb 1.8°)
It seems like and important spot but most confusing…
I shine brightest…. in the dark?
lol
Confused as always
Cassie
Sorry Cassie, I’m not too clear on where Leo is in your chart (from your comment). It’s entirely possible that it takes up 2 houses. If that’s the case, then both those areas will be activated, but only when Venus is actually transiting through that house.
(But at least the Pisces full moon was all a dream to me!
Didn’t do much. Just dreamed around the house.. looking at old dreams.. vaguely dreamin’ new ones. Can’t complain.)
My entire chart’s dominated by Leo. I have Venus, Merc, Mars AND Jupiter in Leo while while my Mars and Venus are in my 10th house (ruled by Leo as well).
What should I be expecting? An XY tinged harem? LOL
Sound good
10th House is career and public image, so I would think this area is where you can stand out with this transit.
this cancerian has her ascendant at libra 26… saturn is conjunct whilste squaring natal saturn which is 6degrees before my IC… feeling this very strongly and profoundly, my ascendant opposes natal sedna, so yet another although personal cardinal cross, need i say more?
Is this comment related to Venus’ transit of Leo? Sorry, I can’t picture where Leo is in your chart (in my head)…
sorry Nadia, not very clear at all was I. yes the venus square saturn you mentioned as saturn is on my ascendant currently, but i am looking forward to a bit of an oasis as venus transits leo, its my MC and 10th house and it could really to with a lift.
Right, got it. Yes, Venus through your 10th should give you a nice professional/status boost.
Sun in Leo with Uranus House 2. Cassidy, I noted yours but wasn’t sure if you meant House 12 or a cusp. Not sure how this affects me, but I am far too generous and very poor with saving. I must say I have been blessed many times financially, however, hit a few sudden pits in life. Uranus (and myself) at it’s worst.
Venus’s transit of the 2nd House can bring small financial opportunities, but as it passes over your Uranus, it might be something more like financial inspiration (new wyas to make money), perhaps connected to your new evolving art career?
Definitely Nadia. I have a few sketches lying here. Also, the new Moon in Virgo you mentioned …. Perhaps it’s time to consider writing again. I’m not looking for huge financial benefits, I need it to “accomplish” something beautiful!
