V E N U S ~ E N T E R S ~ L E O
This week begins like an archetypal femme fatale scene as Venus in Leo becomes trapped in the dark tunnel of Pluto’s underworld. This begins the week with a smoldering and seductive desire fueled by darker emotions: possession and obsession.
Beautiful Venus in Leo wants her place in the Sun, to be worshiped and adored in the light of love. But Pluto invites the shadow to emerge, summoning the desperation and manipulation that fear inspires.
With Venus opposed Pluto, the poison in your wounded heart emerges, bringing hidden conflicts in your love relationships and friendships to the surface. Secrets emerge. Confessions spill over.
And even more importantly, the penetrating gaze of Pluto will help you see through your own egoic delusions. Stripped of the pretense you’ve been hiding behind, you’ll get to the deeper truth of who you are.
Ruled by the Sun, the sign of Leo represents the area of your chart where you are most capable of shining! Leo is where you feel most confident and charismatic, where you developing your sense of Self. No matter who you are and what you’re about, nobody wants to be a 2-dimensional character. Nobody wants to end a creature of circumstance.
So relish the drama of Venus’ opposition to Pluto. Because ultimately it represents an opportunity to understand the deeper layers of yourself. Exploring the unconscious and repressed side of yourself invites integration and healing. And Pluto’s shadow also represents an opportunity to “root out and remove any idea or attitude that causes negative feelings.”
Venus will be in Leo until October 8th, stationing retrograde this summer and becoming reborn as Morning Star. Wherever you have Leo in your chart will be undergoing a renaissance.
