Astrology Forecast July 8 – 14, 2024

Venus weaves much of her lovely magic this week through several planetary aspects and a major transit. Get ready for a heightened focus on relationships, pleasure, and creative self-expression – but with a twist or two!

Today, Venus in Cancer sextiles Uranus in Taurus, infusing the start of the week with unexpected yet positive emotional and relational shifts.

It will be a great day for creatives and innovators, as creative endeavors flourish with innovative ideas and unique expressions that add a spark to routine tasks or projects. This aspect encourages embracing change and finding beauty in the unconventional, making it a great day to try something new, whether in personal relationships or aesthetic pursuits.

Thursday Venus reigns supreme as she casts several sensual spells on us, so buckle up! Thursday morning Venus trine Neptune, together with Moon sextile Venus, brings a wave of dreamy idealism, romantic vibes and a harmonious blend of emotions and desires. We’ll feel naturally affectionate and receptive to love, making it easier to connect with others and openly express our feelings.

We’ll see the world (and potential partners) through rose-colored glasses, fostering compassion, creativity and a desire for beauty. It will be a good time to connect with our artistic talents, embrace forgiveness, and let intuition guide us toward love that feels divinely inspired.

Thursday afternoon Venus enters Leo, shifting the energy toward an even more vibrant, expressive and passionate approach to love and aesthetics. It will be a field day for those of us who are known as “drama queens.” We will feel a heightened desire for attention, admiration and appreciation from others, seeking validation and applause for our romantic and artistic efforts.

The influence of Leo will encourage bold declarations of love, grand romantic gestures, and theatrical displays of emotion, increasing the overall warmth and enthusiasm in personal relationships. This transit will also inspire a greater focus on personal style and creativity. We will be more inclined to experiment with our appearance, embracing bold fashion choices and striking aesthetics to stand out and make a statement.

Venus in Leo could also bring the start of the weekend forward a day, and employers may want to have contingency plans in place for employees who do not get much work done on Thursday or who do not show up for work at all on Friday. There will be a strong drive for fun and enjoyment, urging us to seek out pleasurable experiences, social gatherings and activities that allow us to shine and feel special. This transit is known for invoking a celebratory and joyful atmosphere, encouraging everyone to embrace their inner performer and enjoy the spotlight in both love and leisure.

Friday night Venus fever will reach a peak with Venus sextile Lilith. It will be a fantastic opportunity for a night out on the town, especially if you’re single, as our magnetism will get a wild side boost from Venus sextile Lilith. We’ll exude a captivating charm that could attract unconventional or even taboo attractions. Embrace your desires without fear of judgment and explore your sensuality in new ways. This is a time to tap into your primal energy and express your authentic self, even if it challenges societal norms. Be prepared for unexpected connections or the chance to rewrite your love story on your own terms!

Sunday night we may experience some emotional whiplash as the Moon squares Venus. Our need for connection and pleasure may clash with insecurities or past hurts. Dates or social gatherings may feel awkward, or you may find yourself or a companion acting clingy or aloof. But don’t despair! This is an opportunity to be honest about your needs and to clear the air. By being vulnerable and open with loved ones, you can find a deeper emotional connection.
