Venus in Leo Reading 2022
Venus has entered the sign of Leo on August 11th, 2022 & will remain here until September 5th, 2022. If your natal Venus is in the sign of Leo, you are currently experiencing your Venus return. Returns are transits that happen when a planet returns to its original position aka where it was placed when you were born. Venus returns are great for making changes in your life such as changing your physical appearance, starting a new beauty treatment, switching up your usual style, making more money by investing or creating new incomes for yourself, making big purchases, professional breaks, intense creative inspiration, vacations, conceiving children, and of course sparks flying in your love life.
Leo is ruled by the Sun, so in combination with Venus energy we receive great opportunities as well as breakthroughs in self-expression, business, career, dating, and romance. There is a perfect balance of feminine and masculine energy right now as Venus tends to represent feminine figures such as lovers and girlfriends. Venus in Cancer brought revelations surrounding ourselves and who we are vs. who we want to be. There could also be important milestones experienced right now as it relates to your personal development and maturity. This energy is primal for opportunity, growth, and vitality. In astrology, the Sun represents expression of personality, self, business, and masculine figures such as fathers and husbands. Leo represents children, lighthearted energy, warmth, creation, artistic expression. These themes could be relevant to you or someone you know during this time. Someone could start a new business, receive a great career opportunity, get pregnant/have a child, begin seeing a new person, go on interesting dates, or start a new hobby. During this time, you will find your personal radiance is being revealed to you by others in new ways. You could find yourself attending many social events and meeting all kinds of interesting people while taking in beautiful art. Admire yourself plenty because you’ll notice others are doing the same. This in turn brings sentiments of pleasure and can inspire some of your best ideas. You’ll notice a lot of compliments and admirable exchanges floating around. You may experience a boost to your confidence and self-esteem. Right now it pays to be kind to others literally. Shower others in compliments and don’t forget yourself. You’ll never know what or who the Universe will bless you with when you put good energy out into the world.
Leos also possess creative energy such as Cancers do, however Leo is all about being known for it, its presentation, and appearance. Think of Cancers as the creative process which can oftentimes be private and feel very personal. Leo would be the final performance and act when it all comes together to be revealed to everyone. All of the ideas you’ve been getting within the last few months, start to put them in formation. It’s time to start releasing and sharing what you’ve been working so hard on. Even if you’re not ready to release your masterpiece, share it with a few trusted loved ones to show it off and receive your first wave of praise and criticism. Cancer represents the home and our comfort space. Leo represents the outdoor spaces that bring us the same amount of joy and that we prefer frequenting such as movie theaters, museums, concerts, etc.
Leo is a fixed sign meaning it is known to maintain and be stable for the most part. Fixed signs are known to resist change and for this reason it may be harder to break patterns of behavior. The Universe is guiding us to find new ways to express ourselves authentically whatever that may look like for us. Leo is also a fire sign which represents passion and the act of doing something you desire to be done. A very important desire for Leo is validation which comes from attention and praise. This is to satisfy an inner need to feel supported by those that they love. Not receiving this can lead to feelings of hurt or disappointment which can be masked as pettiness or being vain. Leo is the sign that correlates to the heart. There’s so much love to give and receive in this world so prioritize supporting others instead of drowning yourself in your own work. Seeing the work of other creatives is definitely inspiring and may bring you just what you need. There will be a lot of attention seeking behavior particularly from those that are usually not bold. Be sure to think outside of yourself before you check somebody. This time is great to showcase your talents/work and grow an audience if you intend to have a platform.

Decks used: Modern Love Tarot by Ethony, AMEO Deck on Etsy, Lovers Oracle, The Romance Angels by Doreen Virtue
Love Life Right Now:
Eight of Swords rx (air sign-Gemini, Libra, Aquarius energy). I see a lot of you opening up once again to the idea of love or freeing yourself from any limiting beliefs you once held. Your person is here to love you the way you need to be loved will prove you wrong if you have any doubt. They’re here for the long haul and will be consistently putting in effort to show you this. This might require small steps from you such as putting yourself back out there for those of you who are single. This is very specific, but if you’ve been single for a long time, there might have been this negative mindset you had about love that you were holding onto. You’re starting to realize that what you believed isn’t necessarily true and are freeing yourself from limiting beliefs. I see you doing different things to get different results which is a good change. There is someone you may be fond of or that currently has their eye on you. There’s this lighthearted, flirty, playful banter between two people. With the Strength card which is the Leo card at the bottom of the deck, I see you moving forward strong and with your head held up high when it comes to love.
Love Capability:
Ace of Cups (water sign-Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio energy). This is a beautiful card and energy for those who have been ready and seeking a new beginning in love. I feel compelled to say “Congratulations” because you’ve definitely been through some things that ultimately lead you to learn the lessons you needed to so that you can be experienced for your next connection. Aces represent a start, being in a water sign this is a fresh, renewed start. You have been cleansed almost of your past and no longer carry the pain, but proudly wear your scars and recognize how these experiences have allowed you to grow as an individual. I strongly feel not only will you be entering a new union, you may also be doing so with a completely new person. This could be someone you’re meeting for the first time or otherwise wouldn’t have known through someone else. Spirit wants you to be open, but take caution. With the 5 of Cups at the bottom of the deck in reverse, although there was some disappointment in your past or you had to grieve what you wanted or thought would be, see this as a new opportunity in love. Warning there could be slight reminders of your past especially in the beginning, however don’t let that discourage you and always use discernment. Spirit says here comes your second chance to experience the love you truly deserve.
Blocks & Challenges:
Seven of Cups (water sign-Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio energy). This is in relation to your work-life balance. Right now you may be struggling with maintaining your social life, being productive at work, and also having time for yourself. Self care and time to be still is very important, but obligations and other life responsibilities can get in the way of this or leave us with none. Spirit says ask yourself whether you recharge socially best alone or with those you love. That will determine how much time your social life needs and how much time you need. For example if you’re someone who is very extroverted then you may plan an outing with your besties and an appointment for yourself that needs to be done within the same week. You may also be the type of person to schedule an outing with others once every two weeks and instead make two appointments for yourself within the same week. That’s fine too. Do whatever suits you and your lifestyle best. Just remember to be consistent with whatever you choose and stick with it to maintain that balance. As you add someone new to your circle and spend more time getting to know them, Spirit wants me to tell you to not forget your friends and family those who have known you the longest. Seeing a new romantic partner may be exciting, but be sure to keep up with everyone in your life equally. How you divide your time will show your priorities.
Potential Partner:
Neptune modern ruling planet + Jupiter traditional ruling planet + Water= Pisces. This time, Spirit gave me both ruling planets and the element. For some of you, your person may also have Taurus and Aquarius placements. Pisces energy is “connect to your intuition, to art, to your imaginary world”. Neptune energy is represented by the veil and entails “spirituality, intuition, dreams, idealism, illusion”. Jupiter is represented by teachers, mentors, and guides. Jupiter energy is “expansion, wealth, generosity, confidence, enthusiasm”. Water energy is “intuition, feelings, purification, soul, unconscious, introspection”. Whenever a word is repeated its for emphasis. Intuition is a major sign (lol get it?) in this relationship and a huge indicator of when this person is coming towards you. You could notice your intuition being more on point than usual right before you meet this person. Certain signs or clues you channel from your everyday life out in the Universe may end up being significant when you finally meet them. Don’t worry it will all make sense. Your next person could be a Pisces (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, or Rising) or Jupiter/Neptune dominant if they’re not a Pisces Sun. Your person could have a lot of domicile placements in their chart. You could be meeting them next February or March during Pisces season (February 22nd-March 20th). This person is very creative, spiritual, and can be intuitive or artistic themselves. They could be stylish, preferring to wear masculine or baggy clothes, have tattoos & or piercings and can have a nice crystal jewelry collection. For a very small group of you, your person specializes in tattoo artistry or is a musical artist. Something tells me whatever they create, they love to, and it has potential to make them a lot of money, but this person does it because it fulfills their heart. Ask them why they started their hobby too, I bet there's a deep, personal story behind it. Their heart of gold has led them to be taken advantage of in the past. People used them and definitely took their kindness for weakness. You are two gentle souls needing to be delicate with one another. This person can easily be found in relaxed environments because they themselves are a very chill person. This person brings calming energy to you as well as peace you need in your life. Be genuine with your person and reassure them as they can be quite sensitive whether or not they tell you this. Encourage them to express their emotions in healthy ways and let them show you vulnerability. Expect your spiritual gifts to develop when you’re with or around this person. You may expand your spirituality too in some way by starting to pray, meditate more often, or learn to read tarot/oracle cards.
How to Manifest Them:
“You may not always understand why certain things happen, however there is always a higher purpose to the events in your life. Through turmoil, a blessing will soon be revealed.”, “Imagine all unwanted thoughts dissolving into light, creating room for new opportunities and possibilities for your life.”, "Transformation. Your relationship with one another is about to deepen. Love conquers and transforms all things.”. Spirit wants you to know everything is going according to plan and although you don’t know this plan trust the Universe because it’s all being orchestrated. Just when you thought it was over for your love life, boom your person shows up a little late to you, but right on time.

What to Expect Next:
Although this is a singles reading, I did channel something I want to share for those who may be in a healthy, committed, and thriving relationship whom it may resonate for.
Engagement says “Your love life is ascending to a higher level of commitment.”. This could literally mean your special person proposes to you and asks for your hand in marriage. The two of you could definitely be in a place where you are discussing the next steps in your relationship and where you'd like to go with each other. The idea of spending the rest of your life with this person is way more than just an idea, you’re taking the steps to make it your reality. This a period of deep love that has surpassed lust and attraction. You’re there when it gets tough to support and comfort your partner. You’re sure this is the one for you. You & your partner could be feeling each other now more than ever see how the card is so intimate and cuddly. You could be making serious moves with each other such as moving in, purchasing property together, meeting each other’s families and spending time, extended sleepovers at each other’s places, trusting them with more serious possessions, etc. For a lot of you, your relationship has entered a new cycle, but it may not feel like it. That’s good it means your transition is so smooth it's seamless. From now on, you’ll start to realize just how much this special person has impacted your life.
New Love & Getting to Know Each Other. New Love says “A new person has stirred your romantic feelings.”. Exactly what I said it's a person you’ve never met before in this lifetime, but now you finally are for the first time. Just because you’re meeting for the first time doesn’t mean this person will seem or feel brand new. You may find that you share a lot in common. Getting to know each other was channeled in the previous reading, and says “As you reveal your innermost selves to each other, your bond deepens”. Every time this card comes out it's a sign from Spirit to take your time enjoying the dating experience and getting to know the person you’re dealing with. There’s no need to rush or force anything.
