What new experiences or feelings are emerging for you as external circumstances encourage a more expressive approach to affection, contrasting with your usual nurturing tendencies?

As Venus sashays into Leo, it brings a touch of the theatrical to your love life, making a grand entrance that conjures images of rose petals falling from the sky and violins playing in the background. Your natal Eros in Cancer typically has you swaddled in a cozy cocoon of emotional intimacy, where affection simmers on a slow, steady flame. However, now there's a sparkler in your hand, and you're being invited to the dance floor of passion.

This cosmic tango can feel a bit like trying on a costume that's a little too bold for your taste, but oh, it does make you shine! You might find yourself wanting to express love and appreciation in more flamboyant ways during this period. It's as if your internal love poet has been taken over by a rock star-you're composing love songs, but now with an electric guitar in hand. The contrast between your usual nurturing approach and this new desire for a dramatic expression of love can be quite stirring.

You might feel as though there's an inner performer in you that's been waiting for the spotlight, ready to show the world (or perhaps just that special someone) the depths of your affection with some added flair. It's not just about the grand gestures; you're also learning how to bask in the glow of admiration and allow yourself to be adored without the usual self-effacing qualifiers that might typically accompany your expressions of love.

This period is an opportunity to explore the balance between Cancer's nurturing waters and Leo's fiery display. Imagine you're at a masquerade ball where, for just one night, you can be whoever you wish. In this case, you're exploring the realms of bold affection without losing the genuine care and deep emotional connection you're known for. As you wade through this sparkling river of Leo's charm, remember that it's okay to splash around and have fun with it. Your heart is learning a new rhythm, and it's perfectly fine if you occasionally step on a toe or two while you're spinning across the dance floor of love.
