Under the influence of Venus transiting in Leo and squaring your composite Ceres in Scorpio, your relationship may meet some turbulence. The robust energy of Venus in Leo encourages ardor, warmth, and affection. This planetary shift brings a craving for appreciation and adoration. However, when it squares composite Ceres in Scorpio, known for its intense, deep emotional responses and desire for control, it can denote an intensified struggle for recognition and validation.

This transit can amplify both your individual and shared desires. The compassionate, nurturing qualities of Ceres merging with the passionate, assertive Leo Venus might provoke conflicting emotions. You may feel torn between the will to dominate and the instinct to nurture or heal, or overwhelmed by a yearning to care for each other and a desire for individual recognition.

During this time, understanding and balance are crucial. While you're inclined to show love dramatically, culminating passionately and sometimes theatrically, make sure not to let a need for attention outshine the essential underlying need for genuine love and connection. While you desire to be in the spotlight, remember that each of you needs the comfort of the shared limelight-an innate aspect of Ceres. It's a time to nurture each other's individuality.

Beware of possessiveness and jealousy, as Scorpio's tendencies can be amplified by this transit. Instead, use this energy to foster a deeper sense of mutual trust. Practice open-hearted listening and expression to allow yourselves to feel seen and validated. Use the explorative and brave nature of Leo to challenge the deeper waters of Scorpio, transforming any power struggles into rousing depths of shared intimacy, trust, and growth.

In this transit, allow the drama of Leo and the intensity of Scorpio to coalesce beautifully, bringing about a deeper understanding and an enthusiastic celebration of each other's uniqueness. Let Venus in Leo charm and enchant the profound Scorpio to create a beautiful symphony of love and togetherness.
