Uranus is the natural ruler of Aquarius – unique individuals shining their individual Lights collectively to the benefit of a greater and brighter whole. However, Uranus is currently moving through the sign of Aries, the sign of leadership by initiative and known for a “me first” attitude.
Under the influence of Uranus in Aries, you may be looking to take actions in your own best interests, eager to find or reclaim your unique identity separate of the collective whole. Being lumped together with the rest of humanity probably isn’t enough for you right now. Instead, you want to take action so you can be acknowledged for the role you play within your experience of humanity – your communities, associations, and various social circles. You want to know where you fit in, and you’re willing to rebel or go a little (or a lot) rogue from the usual group standards in order to find out where you stand within those groups, and to make it known that you can operate on your own – if you want to.
Venus is the ruler of the sign of Libra – balance, fairness, justice, and equality. These qualities are very important in matters of partnership, diplomacy, and anything in which there are two or more parties with vested interest in a matter. Peace is also a quality associated with Libra, and it strives to maintain this quality more than any other quality in everything it does.
Yet Venus is currently moving through the sign of Leo, the sign of radiant Light and being in the spotlight, attracting and/or gathering attention from others to its individual self.
Under Venus in Leo’s influence, you may find that some of your one-on-one connections are more than willing and ready to generously give you the individual acknowledgment and attention you’ve been craving and deserving. You may find that your partners and/or one-on-one connections in or through these groups or associations begin helping you stand out by bringing their praise and gratitude for you forward or public.
Trines are usually positive transits, and this Leo Venus – Aries Uranus trine – exact at 5:14p PDT on Sunday, July 7th – is no exception. This is an important transit as it helps you take note of the one-on-one relationships in your life which support your individual expression. Now is the time to find out who wants to help you shine your brightest Light in the world.
But also take note that some of the individuals singing your praises may also be doing so to keep the peace or the status quo amongst the greater whole of the group. Even as their words may be sincere, they may also be seen as necessary for “the greater good of the whole”.
That said, this Venus-Uranus transit is also a time to find out how much you still invest in yourself and your unique expression versus the needs or beliefs of that greater whole. Take note of when you feel like you need to rebel or distinguish yourself from something you perceive to be greater than you alone. This may indicate where you may not be getting what you need from your community to sustain your individual role, or where you may no longer find fulfillment in your role and it may be time for you to move on to something new or different that brings you joy and a soul-fulfilling sense of purpose. It may also indicate where you may be losing your individuality- taking on a certain pattern of behavior or a certain belief system that is not in alignment with your inner truth, just for a sense of belonging with or among others.
This transit of Venus in Leo trine Uranus in Aries is very helpful in that it assists you in gaining clarity about who you are and who you want to be in the world. Now is the time to recognize your various roles and places in the circles, associations, and communities in your life – it is the time to see if they are the roles and places that you want to be in.
Embrace this time of clarification and distinction – both of where you are now, and where you actually want to be.
Thank you for reading and sharing Signs and Numbers. Until next time…
