Venus Enters Leo, the Luminous Creative Mind

Venus enters Leo Thursday. Everyone’s creativity, all different, awakens the next thirty days. We’ll be bold and expressive with feelings. Dramatic, too. In personal relationship we seek out our favorite people. Leo is the sign that needs appreciation, recognition and praise in order to evolve. We will either praise others or seek others to praise and recognize us. On the Soul level, Venus in Leo praises everyone. As Leo is the sign of children, we see everyone as a child of God, a love object to be cherished. Leo and Venus receive and distribute Ray 5, the luminous mind. This is the scientist, the mind filled with revelations leading to the new sciences (the ancient sciences, awaiting discovery). With Venus in Leo (both Ray 5), our mind unveils the spiritual (hidden) potential in all relationships. We understand Rumi; everyone becomes the Beloved. We are in the month of Cancer now, sign of the mother. Both Jupiter and Mercury (retro) are in Cancer. Together they offer us deep insights concerning family, childhood, parents, unexpressed needs and the state of nurturance in our lives. We’re focused inward. Let us realize this about others, too. Respecting them. Doing no harm—Ahimsa (in Sanskrit).

It’s important for your increased new self-identity to share all visions and dreams for you are to enrich and offer ideas to others.

You need to create a Vesta box filled with treasures that define you, an artifact, a found-object of self.

An extraordinary creativity is building within. Perhaps you consider yourself not especially creative. This year many creative ideas will appear in your mind.

This light will assist you in communicating.

Scorpio October 23–November 21
Communication remains internal during the next three weeks. However it’s best to try and communicate your thoughts to those you trust, to those who listen carefully, respond appropriately, and maintain a quiet silence as you speak. Allowing others to understand you strengthens your sense of being in the world. During this time you may consider the state of justice in our world, you may research and consider travel.

Sagittarius November 22–December 20
A new world stage is preparing itself for you. Sag’s are publishers, world travelers, philosophers on mountaintops. They are adventurous warriors creating shadows others stand in.

Maintain your present direction and state of being. You continue forward.

Capricorn December 21–January 20
Inner impressions from are informing you to take time alone and rest. You need to reorient, re-evaluate and then simply just unwind from your many states of responsibility.

In personal relationships there may be misunderstandings. Listen quietly.

Aquarius January 21–February 18
Realities in life begin with hopes, wishes, dreams and imagination. Form and matter are shaped by what we imagine until one day our dreams become concrete events and experiences. Attempt to clarify what’s important to you, what you want to pursue, and who you want to be in the years to come. Sometimes this is difficult. Some of us live only in the moment. But within each moment is a future vision. It’s captured by defining it.

Pisces February 19–March 20
You might have had plans for the immediate future. They may change. There is a collaboration occurring with you and others. Pursuing this will bring about a synthesis that will take you far into the future, into a world very different than now. Understand the present planetary changes. “Seek to serve and not exact due service. Seek to heal not hurt.” But at times you are hurting, which deepens compassion.
