Venus, our planet of affection, attachment, attraction and wealth is establishing shop within the lion’s heart of Leo this week.
Named for the goddess of affection, Venus changes signs every 20-45 days or about once every three weeks. As an inner planet, Venus transits have an evident, immediate impact on we earthlings. Venusian transits influence our collective approach to like, pleasure, aesthetics, and our relationship to earning and spending money.
Crawling out of the crab shell of Cancer, where Venus expresses itself via sentimental leaning, aching nostalgia, and a deep need for security, the planet will move into the spandex-clad limelight of Leo on Thursday, July 11 at 12:19 p.m. ET
As Leo is the nice showboat ‘pick me’ sign of the zodiac, this Venus transit is primed to make everyone crave slightly more validation and loads more frivolity.
Leo rules the center and, when it comes to the zodiac as a developmental scale, represents the everlasting adolescent, complete with willfulness, egocentrism, and an irrepressible joie de vivre. This transit asks us to attach with the kid we were, the skinned-knee kid who made for the sake of constructing with no thought for judgment, monetary value, perfect form, or second-guessing.
“Acting like a toddler” is often leveled as a condemnation, but Venus in Leo reminds us of the richness of that point once we were most connected to what made us feel full, positive, and absolutely ourselves. Venus in Leo encourages play and dressing up, trying on, trying out, and showing off until we discover what feels right.
Leo is a daring b–ch, and with Venus here, we may likewise feel emboldened to share the song in our heart and don the gold lame catsuit in our closet. That is the sign of the stage, of sweeping romances, grand gestures, dramatic entrances and joyful endings, making this transit a really perfect time to launch a project, declare your love for something or someone, make art and/or experience the activities that make your life feel cinematic; artful, beautiful and memorable.

Leo energy is synonymous with confidence, however it isn’t that Leo is rarely self-conscious; it’s that Leo doesn’t allow that self-consciousness to curtail authentic expression, nor does it allow fear of failure or fear of being laughed at to stop them from taking the stage, cracking the joke, or leading the charge. We will all learn and borrow the lion’s brand of courage in the approaching weeks.
A healthy, actualized Leo loves themselves and others with utter abandon and provides the remainder of us the inspiration and permission to do the identical.
Leo sings lead, will embarrass themselves to earn fun, and won’t apologize for a seventeen-minute guitar solo or for living out loud on the amplified level of 11.
For a main example of the energy of this transit, see Venus in Leo native Jason Momoa, who created a whole television series, HBO Max’s On The Roam, to have fun s–t he loves; pink motorcycles, striped apparel, and hand-hewn knives. This dude’s big cat Venus placement can also be on peak display on this gesture, wherein he restored ex-wife Lisa Bonet’s first automotive…and documented the journey for the masses.
Typically, Venus’s spin through Leo is something of a sunshine daydream, however the planet of affection gets some shade thrown its way when it forms a gnarly opposition with power planet Pluto in Aquarius on Friday, July 12.
This face-off between love and death, fire and air, fixed sign and stuck sign lends relationships an unwelcome intensity and should fire up old aches, fresh jealousy, and unexpected bouts of paranoia and possessiveness.
Compromise seems out of reach and matters of the center tackle a leaden weight.
At its perfect, Venus in Leo views love itself as an act of creation.
Blessedly and at its perfect, Venus in Leo views love itself as an act of creation. I hope you’ll approach the fierceness of the Pluto face-off with a mind to bring forth something unexpected out of your relationships, to loosen the reigns to offer all parties the slack they should run freely from or towards each other.
Whilst you’re loosening your grip on the heartstrings, control your purse strings as a part of Leo’s self-care routine is spending lavishly on luxury and sometimes well beyond their means.
As a challenge, get interested in what and who makes you’re feeling wealthy without spending and loved without condition. Possibly that appears like flowers you choose yourself, wearing your best friend’s t-shirt, a nap within the sun, a poem read aloud by your lover, or a tomato between your teeth.
Allow yourself the rapture of this transit and all the tactile delights of summer by specializing in the way it feels versus what it costs.
