LURE

for the Venus and Mars conjunction in Leo, the passion itself is what lights the path home, the embrace that both honors and reignites the sacrifices and accomplishments made out in the world. fire brought home from the victory used to light the hearth and warm the den. and for this particular Venus and Mars, the battles of late have been hard-won. there have been mighty beasts abroad, steep cliffs and sharp detours, all keeping Mars from advancing toward goals and Venus from connecting with loved ones and resources. the heat of this union, the anticipation of these fireworks, is so strong that we might choose to believe in its power to sustain, through hell and high water. the energy of this moment so palpable that we might brave the long orbit, and all the obstacles, that await us.

dressed in a hunk of garnet, a ring of carnelian, and a double pointed flourite to generate the kind of heat and energy needed to alchemize desire into divine union. scented lightly with sea salt and orchid to stir the senses and purify the connection. this election features a conjunction beginning in the second house ruled by a first house Cancer sun, solidifying as the conjunction shifted into the first house ruled by a divine twelfth house Cancer sun. take what you’ve got and own it like the majestic creature that you are.
