From June 13th to July 9th, Venus enters Leo, so hang tight. Why? Because Venus insists we are the main characters in the amorous show we are all players in. The thirst for attention and affection leads us to take on roles we might not otherwise take on. This can resort to lovebombing or declaring grand gestures — some of which we probably cannot uphold due to our personal circumstances and setbacks. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t talk the talk, even though we cannot walk the walk.
Venus’s stint in Leo is typically a moment of celebration and joy. This year, Venus takes on a different tone. The vibe is more rock and roll than rhythm and blues, with a few tracks of power ballads. For starters, the pre-retrograde shadow of Mercury’s backspin in Cancer begins on June 13th, the same day that Venus enters Leo. It means that Venus’s journey in the fire sign is met with nostalgia, sentimentality — and yes, ambiguity about welcoming exes back into our lives. Mercury’s moonwalk commences on June 29th, lasting until July 23rd, and confusion sets in. Journaling and meditation are two techniques that can aid in our decision-making and in executing our ventures with precision.
A sudden attraction might hit us like lightning, forging a connection with someone who isn’t our type when Uranus in Gemini faces off with Venus in Leo on June 15th. It’ll feel as though the chemistry is instantaneous and electric. If we are in a commitment separate from this flirtation, the temptation to cultivate a relationship with the other person could lead us to contemplate matters. Uranus wants us to be free and embrace our curiosities. When it links up with the planet of love, Venus, we find ourselves drawn to unusual situations and partnerships that rival those of the past.
The following day, on June 16th, Venus in Leo harmonizes with Neptune in Aries. The planetary alliance offers us the chance to explore our whimsical visions. Getting lost in a fantasy might make us feel like we are floating on a cloud, but reality clashes hard with the daydream, serving up an intense wake-up call. Finding our footing on earth will require grounding exercises, as our passions are profound. The caveat is that we might be overly paranoid about what others are secretly doing or thinking because we are living in our daydreams, hiding our true desires. Projecting emotions onto those we care about won’t solve the dilemma, which is why we shouldn’t make assumptions at this time.
Tensions reach a high on June 17th, when Pluto retrograde in Aquarius opposes Venus in Leo. This cosmic polarity creates a magnetic pull among three people (Pluto loves triangulation), causing us to lash out at those who do not see eye to eye with our beliefs. Keep in mind that the third party could be something of a surprise, such as work or a family situation. Therefore, it’s important to keep an open mind and space for ourselves and others. We may revolt against paradoxical dynamics, as we yearn for real-life friendships. The objective is to heal the predicament that exists to cultivate a stronger foundation — not without drama, tears, and frustrations. To survive and thrive, it’s imperative to relinquish the need to control and dominate.
The karmic planet Saturn, which is in Aries, teaches Venus in Leo a few lessons about affairs of the heart on June 25th. Complications arise when we fight for causes that do not reflect our values. Sticking to our beliefs and ideology at all costs is vital to ensure others properly see us and to represent ourselves. If the person we are crushing on urges us to compromise our core principles, it is a sign that they aren’t the one for us. Being accepted for our individuality and uniqueness is important for Venus in Leo, which is why the hindrance Saturn in Aries brings is problematic, unless we set clear boundaries.
Yes, Venus in Leo will bring challenges, but we will get through these difficult periods and junctures by staying true to who we are. Rather than focusing on what our partners or friends need, give yourself TLC. We deserve to be happy — especially in the face of romantic adversity.
