5th House Venus
Somatics | Spirituality | Creativity | Ritual
5th House Venus is an ode to creative embodiment, magical living, soulful healing, and joyful expression. 5th House Venus is a love song to the sacred, to the beauty way, to the inherent belonging that is the birthright of all beings on this Earth.
In Astrology, the 5th House is all about pleasure, play, and creativity; Venus is the goddess of love, beauty, connection, ease, cohesion, and embodiment. Venus in the 5th house is a vibe that says why not sprinkle a little play/love/joy/connection on that?
5th House Venus weaves together body, mind, spirit, and soul. A portal into healing; an awakening into wholeness; a practice of liberation, pleasure, and presence. Healing is a creative act. Radical acceptance is an art project. Joy is resistance. The Earth is sacred, your body is sacred, your psyche is sacred, your magic is sacred.
About Leela Kelley, MA
Somatic practitioner & facilitator, bodyworker, ritualist, animist, witch, grief tender, song catcher. She/They. Gemini Sun, Cancer Moon, Aquarius Rising. 2/4 Emotional Manifestor. Poet. Silly Goose. Introvert. Traveler. Nature Lover. Friend.
As a long time embodiment practitioner, I love offering spaces, practices, and body-mind-spirit technologies that aid in growth, healing, transformation, and liberation.
At the root of my work is the belief that deep attunement to our bodies, our stories, and our magic is a liberation practice, a pleasure practice, a practice in re-claiming sovereignty and re-Membering belonging. I have followed the bread crumbs of listening to the body, the earth, and the cosmos and it has led me to such beauty, such healing, such empowerment that I cant help but want to share it with others.
5th House Venus is my prayer to the world - that we each live into the magic that is flowing through us. A prayer for Peace and prayer for remembering our connection to this earth, this universe, and to each other.
