Venus in Leo Archives - Lynn Hayes astrology readings and writings

The astrology of Truman Capote

Truman Capote, who would have been 100 this year, is having a moment thanks to the new TV program about his feud with his “swans” – the belles of New York whose beauty he both revered and hated.

Best known for his groundbreaking books “In Cold Blood” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” Capote was raised in lonely isolation with aunts after the divorce of his parents at the age of two and the abandonment by his mother. He taught himself to read and write and began writing fiction at the age of eleven. Although he had a great […]

Sunday inspiration for Venus retrograde

photo from Advanced Style

Venus turned retrograde in Leo yesterday making this the perfect poem for today’s inspiration post. We think of Venus as representing relationships and love, and that is certainly true, but Venus also is related to our self-esteem. That is especially true in Leo, the sign which encourages us to find the best version of ourselves – the one we can be proud of and feel good about.

As Venus travels retrograde (until September 3rd) we will likely be thinking of broken connections […]

The meaning of Venus retrograde in Leo 2023: July 22-September 3

artist unknown

Venus transits are typically fleeting and we are barely touched by them. Come and gone in under a day, even the harder transits are not that difficult except for their propensity for indulgence and lack of self-awareness. When Venus appears to change direction and turns retrograde, though, her movement becomes slower and instead of just a day we might experience here whispers for a week or more, depending on how our own chart is affected. Venus will be in Leo the entire time of the retrograde, a nice […]

Planetary news this week: Venus in Leo calls in a fun summer

Astrological update for the week of June 5-12, 2023

artist unknown?

Venus in Leo and the Venus retrograde cycle. Venus leaves emotional cancer for Leo on June 5th, and will remain in Leo until October. This is a nice long time to enjoy the beneficial light of Venus, planet of love, in the sign of the Sun! This week we may find ourselves feeling a greater need for validation from those around us since a stressful aspect from Venus to intense Pluto, and then later in the week to Jupiter, may […]

Astrological update for the week of May 29-June 5, 2023

This week’s forecast will be shorter than usual because of the holiday and also because I was up too late watching Succession and then reading all of the Twitter wrap-up comments. 😃

Venus. The planetary energies are fairly quiet, but it’s an important week for Venus. Venus begins the week in harmonic bliss with Ceres and Neptune, facilitating healing and inspiration on an individual level but also easing the path to improved interpersonal connections. Venus […]

Weekend update: Mercury direct, Venus in Leo, and Neptune Rx

Art by Marie Desbons

I have to say, this has been the weirdest Mercury retrograde in recent memory, for me at least. As many of you know, I like to soothe people’s anxieties about Mercury retrograde and the truth is that snafus happen when Mercury isn’t retrograde too. But this one, with Mercury having changed direction in a square to Neptune, has brought a Neptunian layer that has just been weird. Orders not just going wrong but disappearing entirely. Contractors giving bad information based on wrong assumptions. Schedules being disrupted by people […]

Astrological update! Week of August 31 – September 6, 2020 including Pisces Full Moon

This week is packed with astrological juju: we have a very juicy Pisces Full Moon which includes, among other goodies, a harmonious sextile to Uranus to wake us up out of a rut and heighten our intuition. Two planets (Mercury and Venus) change signs, and Mars prepares to turn retrograde on September 9th. Transcription is below the video for those who prefer to read, but as always the video includes graphics and charts to illustrate more fully these planetary movements.

Michael Jackson dead at 50

Michael Jackson was found dead in his home this afternoon, and paramedics were unable to revive him on the way to the hospital.

We don’t know Michael’s time of birth, but his astrological chart (born August 29, 1958) reveals a conjunction of the Sun in Virgo to Pluto, a planetary combination that can be quite difficult. There is a tremendous amount of power locked in this combination of the god of power and transformation (Pluto) and the Sun which represents the Self. But there can also be a self-destructive tendency if […]
