With Venus entering the sign of Leo at 10:03a PDT on Thursday, June 27th, our one-on-one relationships take center stage for the remainder of this 2013 Cancer Sun Cycle.
Leo brings attention to whatever it touches, so when the planet of partnerships of all kinds comes under its influence, you can be sure that you and others will take notice of your relationship/partnership dynamics. Leo energy is rarely shy, so your relationship dealings and your feelings about them are not likely to remain low-key or under the radar in these next few weeks.
That would be due in large part to the fact that Venus is in Leo under the Cancer Sun. With Cancer bringing nurturing, caring, and protective energy (or the awareness of that energy) to pretty much everything right now, we now have an opportunity to become more conscious of the nurturing dynamics within our connections with our loved ones.
This again affirms the fact that we tend to nurture and protect that which we are most emotionally interested and invested in. Under Venus in Leo, when we assess our one-on-one relationships of all kinds and as we deal with the inner emotional workings of these relationships, it is very likely at this time that the relationships that you really and truly love and/or care about will make themselves known through the attention and effort you apply to nurturing and protecting them.
Also, if you have any relationships that you have been nurturing that you’ve also been especially protective of or possibly even kept secret, now is a time when your emotional investment in those connections may become known to your closest friends and/or family members.
Even in cases in which you may be so protective of a relationship that you’ve avoided giving it any nurturing and care to keep attention away from it to protect it from real or perceived harm, you may want to ask yourself how important this relationship is to you, and if you are ready to defend it from harm as its presence and importance in your life may come to Light during this Venus in Leo cycle.
There’s a strong possibility during Venus in Leo that as your relationships are called into Leo’s spotlight, you may find yourself having to face some truths about your one-on-one relationships. You may notice yourself dealing with the consequences of some relationships that you may have over-attended to or not attended to enough, facing some truths about some of them (for better or worse), acknowledging the ones you are actually emotionally invested in, and admitting that there are some relationships in your life that you simply could care less about.
And you may have to deal with how your handling of these relationships affects your connections with others, especially those whom you are in the relationships with.
As your investments in various relationships in your life are assessed, and as the amount of attention and affection you give to your relationships becomes apparent to you, your partners, and your closest loved ones, you begin to acknowledge which relationships really and actually stand as the stars of your life. Though Venus is usually pretty emotionally detached due to its association with the air sign, Libra, in fiery Leo under a watery Cancer Sun, Venus is definitely shining with passion from your heart for the next four weeks – a passion you may not even realize you had until now.
Enjoy realizing the real stars of your life during their close-ups in the spotlight of your heart during this 2013 Venus in Leo phase. Venus will be in Leo until July 22nd.
