Put on your favorite party dress on!
Prepare to have your love life center stage as Venus enters the confident and passionate sign of Leo.
Consider this major astronomical event to be a pretty BFD if you aren’t already aware of what it means. Venus in Leo will not only give you the courage to love openly and freely, but it will also encourage you to speak from the heart. And, after spending the last few weeks in Cancer, Venus, the planet of love, is heating up areas of romance, pleasure, and affection as it joins fierce Leo on June 5.
When it comes to Venus in Leo, there is no such thing as too much. Venus in Leo is a time to make grand gestures of love, to be generous to others, and to share your adoration with those around you.
Venus will be in the fire sign for an extended period of time, including an annoying retrograde between July 22 and September 3, causing your love life to take a slight detour before resuming its normal course. Aside from the retrograde, expect things to heat up as Leo empowers you to prioritize your interests and indulge in well-deserved self-love (think: wine-and-sip nights or candlelit baths). You can also thank Leo for bringing out your inner artist because Venus rules beauty and creativity.
Venus in Leo is all about indulging in the things that light your heart on fire, from creative projects to steamy date nights. Continue reading to learn more about this hot and ultra-erotic transit.
What Does It Mean When Venus Is in Leo?
Venus’ journey through warm-hearted Leo puts your heart and ego on display. Leo is the sign of bravery, creativity, and passion, so you should prioritize lighthearted fun and beloved hobbies. You might be inspired to express yourself creatively and resume work on old projects.
Venus in Leo boosts your confidence while also increasing your sex appeal and desire for romance. Because Leo rules your pleasure sector, your hedonistic tendencies will be heightened. If you’re single, Venus in Leo may reignite old passions. It could be a good time to reconsider your love values and needs. Because Leo leans on self-obsessed, this could be an ideal time for singles to prioritize self-love.
Venus in Leo may inspire you to spice things up with your partner if you’re in a relationship. This transit is showing you what the future holds for you and that special someone. But, regardless of your relationship status, don’t be shy about expressing your feelings. It’s a good time to be sentimental.
However, Leo, like all signs, has a dark side that may manifest during Venus in Leo. For example, “during this time, you may find yourself being too stubborn and proud for your own good, which may cause friction in your relationships.” It’s best to keep your cool and avoid enraged or impassioned responses to your loved ones.
Venus in Leo: What to Expect in 2023
Venus will be in Leo from June 5 to October 8, but it will be retrograde between July 22 and September 3. While this transit is bound to stimulate creativity and romance, it may also cause tension. Retrogrades are déjà vu transits because they bring up ex-lovers and may cause you to reconsider burned bridges.
Because Venus governs money, new experiences, and opportunities, you can expect your approach to love, values, and finances to change. However, unlike some retrograde periods (ahem, Mercury retrograde), Venus’s retrograde is less turbulent. Venus retrograde will be a time of creative exploration and breakthroughs for some signs. It allows some signs to see a problem from a different angle and come up with a creative solution to their problems.
Finally, you’ll need to purge the energy that’s been holding you back, especially around August 9, when Venus retrograde squares off with Uranus, aka the planet of surprises. This transit is all about self-love, which necessitates a lot of filtering out of your life of things that no longer serve you. However, regardless of Venus retrograde or purging the old, now is a good time to reconnect with your artistic side, whether through painting or appreciating beauty in a quaint museum date.
Here’s how Venus in Leo may affect your astrological sign, as well as how you can harness the power of this pleasure-seeking transit.
Aries (21 March – 19 April)
Venus in Leo is intensifying your desires, Aries. It may also awaken your inner child, so engaging in all of your favorite pastimes — such as finger painting or playing outside — is perfectly in sync with this transit. But, in the end, it’s a good time to focus on the things that make you happy and seek pleasure in all forms.
Taurus (20 April – 20 May)
Taurus, this transit is tugging at your heartstrings as Venus illuminates your family and home sector. It may be time to check in with yourself. During Venus in Leo, retreat quietly to your sanctuary and organize your domestic affairs. Set your life to ‘Do Not Disturb’ for a few minutes to rest.
Gemini (21 May – 20 June)
Gemini, put logic and reasoning on the back burner — Venus in Leo is assisting you in speaking from your heart. However, just as Leo can become overly heated in a debate, stubbornness may manifest itself in the way you express yourself. Consider your options before speaking, and practice your listening and communication skills.
Cancer (21 June – 22 July)
Money may take up a lot of mental space during Venus in Leo, Cancer. Financial abundance may come your way, so it’s critical to review your expenses and make responsible adjustments in order to meet your objectives. It’s time to start planning your future budget.
Leo (23 July – 22 August)
Venus in your native sign, Leo, is emphasizing the importance of self-love. Putting yourself first may bring clarity to underlying needs and desires, so be aware of the newness that illuminates your world. You’re completely altering your perception of yourself and how you interact with others. It’s time to accept the new you.
Virgo (23 August – 22 September)
Venus in Leo is making you psychoanalyze everything, Virgo, especially your relationships and mental growth. You’re recognizing what didn’t work for you in the past and making the necessary changes within yourself to break free from old patterns for good. Introspection is important, but don’t deny yourself the pleasure that other people can bring.
Libra (23 September– 22 October)
Venus, your natal planet, is demonstrating the power of community to you, Libra. Your social circle is important to you, but if you have outgrown them or feel suffocated by them, it may be time to expand your horizons. To meet new people, try a new workout class, bar trivia, or a neighborhood event.
Scorpio (23 October– 21 November)
Scorpio, Venus in Leo is bringing your reputation and legacy to the forefront of your mind. Appreciate the momentum Leo is creating, as well as the accomplishments you’ve achieved thus far. Envy from others can and should manifest itself in unexpected ways. Instead, consider whether you’re getting what you want from your current job. If a career change has been on your mind, now could be the time to pursue your other interests.
Sagittarius (22 November – 21 December)
Friend fire sign Sagittarius, Leo is inspiring you and leading you down exciting new paths. While retrograde may cause creative blockages, don’t let life’s abrupt changes prevent you from seeing the silver lining. Follow your optimism, and when you need it, lean on the wisdom of others.
Capricorn (22 December – 19 January)
Capricorn, Venus in Leo is reminding you of the importance of the roles of those in your orbit. It is acceptable to rely on others for assistance, and Leo is empowering you to recognize the power of attachment. You’re learning to ask for what you need in life, whether it’s financial or emotional support during this transit.
Aquarius (20 January – 18 February)
Aquarius, this romantic transit is bringing all of your deepest desires to the surface, and you deserve to have your needs met. You may have some difficult but necessary conversations. It’s time to focus on what you want and let go of what isn’t working. Don’t be afraid to speak from the heart.
Pisces (19 February – 20 March)
This transit’s passionate energy may be too much for you to handle, Pisces. Prioritizing your health and wellness, even if it means pausing and retreating to your safety net. Close the doors and windows and reconnect with your body and yourself. If you need a social media detox, now could be the time.
