Thursday, JULY 11

Venus enters Leo today, but it forms a trine with Neptune just before it leaves the sign of Cancer. Neptune is traveling the last degree of the zodiac, and this degree holds the potential for profound wisdom.

The Venus-Neptune aspect acts as a conduit, allowing us to access our inner spiritual wisdom and compassion. It’s a time when we prioritize spiritual and emotional concerns over material ones, fostering a sense of unity and cooperation. We open ourselves to beauty and faith, and we choose to trust others before judging them, preferring to cooperate than compete. We refuse to step over others to reach our goals.

This perspective of seeing the best in people eases the pressure in personal relationships. However, it’s important to be mindful of our tendency to glamorize objects, situations, and pleasures.

From today until August 4th, Venus will be transiting Leo. This cycle is characterized by a warmhearted and generous energy. We take pride in love and are open-handed with our resources. It’s a time of expressiveness, pride, and a touch of extravagance.

We thrive on attention, acknowledgment, validation, and adoration, making a significant ego investment in our love lives during this period.

The Venus-in-Leo cycle can be a solid or profitable time for contests, lotteries, parties, recreation, drama, adornment, jewelry, costumes, art dealing, and all things golden. Generosity and warmth contribute to our ability to draw in the right resources. We can have a compelling desire to stand out, be remarkable, and feel special during this period. However, we should watch for extravagance and overstating our feelings simply for the effect.

As the Moon spends much of the day in the practical sign of Virgo, it’s important to note that it opposes Neptune shortly before entering Libra at 10:06 PM EDT.

This opposition, along with Virgo’s ruler, Mercury, forming a minor challenging aspect with Neptune tonight, could lead to a struggle with our expectations or perceptions of reality. It’s crucial to be cautious and avoid perceiving situations in an impractical or overly optimistic way tonight. These transits can diffuse our concentration and focus, so it’s best to be prepared for potential challenges.

The Moon is void from 9:55 PM EDT, with the Moon’s last aspect before changing signs (an opposition to Neptune), until the Moon enters Libra at 10:06 PM EDT (a brief VOC period).
