She doesn’t have to ask permission to shine her brightest light.
When she is ready to radiate in the fullness of her feminine being, her personal magnetism is awakened. She is the star in every sense and meaning of the word. Her deep soul purpose is self-realization, but when her shadow sweeps her into darkness and self-doubt creeps in, she can over-inflate herself in arrogance and false pride. She may grasp at outside validation and demand attention at the expense of other people and lose herself in dramatic outbursts. These theatrical manifestations are emerging of the wounded princess, believing there is not enough for everyone and becoming overly competitive. This is the shadow side of Venus in Leo where her natural warmth and affectioned nature is dimmed in the pursuit of recognition.
Venus in Leo must learn to develop real self-confidence that comes from an open heart. She must source her safety and worthiness from deep within, from knowing who she is. To firmly and unapologetically stand in her truth, instead of searching for approval from external sources. Then she is ready to take her rightful place on the throne. When she knows that there is nothing to hide, nothing to be ashamed of, but proudly being a whole spectrum woman. She is becoming a Queen who understands that self-sovereignty is her goal and right. She rises from the wounded princess, who always waits for others to choose her, to approve of her. As a leader dismantles this need to complain and blame because she takes full responsibility for her actions and results. This is the moment her magic is fully turned on and she radiates her true regal nature.
