The arrival of Venus in Aquarius signifies that both of you may feel the pull towards independence. Here, affections lean toward the cerebral and detached, with Aquarius always leaning into the future. This time, more likely than not, you'll find yourselves seeking novelty, desiring experiments, and expanding your social network. Meanwhile, with your composite Eros dwelling in Leo, one may dare to say your passion's flames are playful, flamboyant, and full of warmth. It reflects an affection that is magnetic, commanding the spotlight, craving affirmation and grand gestures.

However, Venus in Aquarius and Eros in Leo are in opposition, creating a potential climate of tension between your collective needs for freedom and individuality against your shared romantic and passionate desires. You could find yourselves wrestling with keeping the flames of passion alight while needing fresh air to breathe. It could manifest as conflicting desires where one moment you are fiercely seeking independence, and the very next, craving the adoration that only the other can provide. This interplay can be exhilarating yet exhausting all at once.

As an illustrative scenario, consider an evening where you plan to host a gathering of various acquaintances, friends, and colleagues-an idea that very much excites the Aquarius in you. Yet, the Leo aspect might find itself pining for a much more intimate setting-perhaps a private dinner under candlelight or quiet evening at home. Such feelings can lead to an intense dialogue and even some disagreements, but it can also facilitate progress towards balancing both needs effectively.

This Venus transit encourages you to explore your relationship's dialectic nature, recognizing that the tension between independence and intimacy isn't about choosing one over the other, instead, it's about finding harmony and acceptance within this dynamic. Such a realization can ultimately lead your relationship towards a new level of understanding and growth.
