On Thursday at 10:48 am EDT, Venus enters Leo. Venus’ move from Cancer to Leo will symbolize a good time to try some things on. Now is a good time to think about what those things will be.<\/p>\n

It does not have to be actual clothing, although that would work. Neither does it need to be something new, although that would not hurt. The objective is to notice what things are finding you, what keeps trying to get your attention, and to give your attention in return by trying them on.<\/p>\n

To paraphrase shamanic astrologer Sheila Belanger, you should try on the idea that planets are archetypes, acting as players in your life. That means see Venus as part of your life. For most of us, that part will have something to do with the phenomenon and principles of attraction.<\/p>\n

According to Robert Hand, “Venus rules the spontaneous power of attraction.” If you try that idea on and consider how the phenomenon of attraction spontaneously appears in your life, you will have also found where Venus appears in your life. That is the first step, and taking it makes Venus as real for you as part of your body. The next step is to correlate where Venus is with what it is wearing. Determining what Venus is wearing means first observing where it is.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"Once again paraphrasing Sheila Belanger, if a planet is acting a part in your life, then the sign that planet occupies is its costume. The costume, in turn, largely defines the actor’s role. Because of a long retrograde cycle, Venus wore the costume of Gemini from the first week of April to the first week of August. If the role of attraction in your life got a little threadbare as July drew to a close, that correlates with where Venus was and for how long. After the first week of August, Venus was wearing a new sign, Cancer.<\/p>\n

With its ingress to Cancer on August 7, Venus was not only in a new costume, it was back up to speed. Being back up to speed means Venus will change its costume every 25 days or so for the foreseeable future. Thursday’s entry to Leo resumes the customary rhythm for Venus. That’s how today is your cue to try that on with how attraction functions in your life. What you will be trying on promises to be a good fit.<\/p>\n

Leo represents a costume that is compatible with the archetype of attraction. The fire element associated with Leo harmonizes well with the air element of Libra, which Venus rules. The fixed quality of Leo is the same as that of Taurus, the other sign Venus rules. The Sun, ruler of Leo, is the brightest of the luminaries, just as Venus is the brightest planet. The power of attraction that Venus represents is what the self-oriented consciousness of Leo seeks in asserting its energy, much as the Sun does, to make itself known in the world.<\/p>\n

As Venus approaches Leo over the next few days, therefore, take note of what is appearing without any special effort on your part. If that pair of shoes keeps showing up wherever you look, try them on. If you keep running into that person or group of people wherever you go, spend some time with them. If that song seems to keep playing, try singing it yourself. That’s how to get yourself ready for Venus in Leo and how to know what fits you best come Thursday.<\/p>\n
