Transiting Venus In Leo

On 5th June 2023, transiting Venus will enter the sign of Leo and stay there for four months until 9th October 2023. A normal Venus transit is only four weeks, so we are in for a treat. I'm not saying that all of our problems will disappear - they won't - but this will be a pleasurable interlude during a year of uncertainty.

This gift from the Cosmos will bring out the best of both the sign and the planet, with feelings of joy, love and optimism. This is a warm-hearted, expressive and extravagant position. Venus rules issues connected to women, art, music and fashion.

The sign of Leo rules theatres, places of amusement and entertainment, show business and sport  It also rules grand buildings such as palaces, castles, stately homes and embassies. It is therefore also connected with people in 'high society' including royalty, the aristocracy. and ambassadors.The national birth-rate, pregnancy and children are also ruled by this sign. Both Venus and Leo represent fertility, so if you are trying to get pregnant, this planetary influence could be useful. 

Venus in Leo is loving and generous. Pride, energy, creativity and passion are hallmarks of this sign. This combination indicates celebrations. Take advantage of this long Venus transit through Leo by becoming more creative. If you have always wanted to be an artist, start painting. Join a local drama group if acting is your dream. Above all, get out more, socialise and have fun. 

The creative potential of this Venus in Leo period will be phenomenal. Expect a surge in art and design, particularly in the fashion world. Luxury items are ruled by Leo and with Venus in the mix, these trends will be driven by women, and aimed at women. So, jewellery, gold, make-up and perfume will take centre stage with bold, dramatic and glamorous new looks - and probably scents too!

Peace and diplomatic matters are indicated by Venus in Leo, so could there be a breakthrough and possible negotiations regarding the war? It's interesting that Leo rules sunflowers - the national flower of Ukraine. As my old friend says, "Never ignore symbolism". 

Have a lovely Summer x
