What Venus In Leo (8/25-9/19) Means For Each Zodiac’s Love Life

Venus moves into fiery Leo on August 25, and will remain in this sign until September 19.

Here is what each Zodiac sign can expect:

Aries

As a cardinal fire sign, Aries, Venus in Leo stirs up your natural intensity in the domain of love and relationships. While you often go after what you desire with ease, this transit encourages you to focus on how self-expression impacts the way you show up in love and dating.

Taurus

A grounded earth sign, Taurus, you deeply value relationships and how they fit in the larger context of your life. While deeply loyal, you have a tendency to overstay situations and relationships when they’re past due. With Venus in Leo, act on any desire to take action — whether that means speaking from your heart, saying “yes” to new opportunities, or transforming old routines.

Gemini

Curious and inquisitive, Gemini, you value novelty and thrive in relationships that provide you with intellectual stimulation. As Venus is in fiery Leo, inspiration to speak your own truth will arise. While it may feel uncomfortable, allow yourself the opportunity to solidify your personal opinion. Speak from your heart openly with partner(s) and friends.  

Cancer

As ruler of the fourth house, associated with home, Cancer, you deeply value those you’re in intimate relationships with. At times you’re prone to people-pleasing, melding your opinion in an attempt to nurture and support those around you. While these actions are done with good intentions, Venus in Leo is teaching the importance of solidifying your own boundaries.

Leo

With Venus in your sign, Leo, your love life is about to take a dramatic shift. Starting new and building upon existing relationships will come with ease; it’s important to take advantage of these fertile opportunities. Self-trust is the name of the game this season.

Virgo

Analytical and kind, Virgo, you’re often your own harshest critic. The Venus in Leo transit encourages you to see yourself with more clarity and joviality. Use relationships as a mirror, trusting the words and actions of those who love you deeply. It may seem backwards, but this process builds self-trust and relationships simultaneously.

Libra

Valuing equanimity and fairness, Libra, you rule the seventh house of partnership. With your planetary ruler, Venus, moving into charismatic Leo, a sense of passion is infusing into your love life. Tap into any bursts of creativity that arise, and challenge yourself to be bolder in love and dating.

Scorpio

A fixed water sign, Scorpio, you can get stuck in the past and develop a deep sense of longing. With Venus in Leo, a sense of childlike wonder is entering your ways of relating. While this may seem out of the normal, act on any desires to embrace play in love and relationships.  

Sagittarius

An adventurer at heart, Sagittarius, Leo shares qualities that compliment yours nicely. With Venus in Leo, an emphasis on existing relationships will take center stage. You’re inspired to strike a balance between exploring new avenues and celebrating the love you already have. 

Capricorn

A practical earth sign, Capricorn, you approach relationships with great care and concern. With Venus in playful Leo, inspiration to see love through the lens of more creativity will arise. Speak up with any desire to change existing routines with romantic partner(s) and in dating.

Aquarius

Innovative Aquarius, you’re a humanitarian at heart. As an intellectual air sign, the transit of Venus in Leo may stir up various communication difficulties, as you tend to approach love and relationships much differently than this expressive fire sign. When challenges arise, challenge yourself to slow down and pause before reacting.

Pisces

Intuitive Pisces, you tend to absorb what’s going on in the world around you. While this trait makes you incredibly compassionate, Venus in Leo inspires a greater need for your own attention and affection. While this may stir up uncomfortable feelings, respecting your desires leads you to a sense of love more deeply felt than ever before.
