THE RUNDOWN:
- Venus is transiting into Leo between 25 August and 19 September.
- Flamboyant Leo will turn the floodlights on romance during this time, so expect upheaval in your love life.
- The planet of Venus also presides over finances, self-worth and aesthetics; you may see a shake-up in any of these areas.
While it’s been a gruelling winter, with a multitude of retrogrades, we’ve got excellent astrological news just in time for spring. Venus, the planet of love and money, is strutting into Leo, and it’s exactly the dramatic romance boost we need. That’s right, Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles may just be the first to benefit from Venus’s new heat.
Charismatic, passionate, and flamboyant, Leo rules the heart chakra in astrology and often has dramatic love lives (Kylie Jenner and Austin Butler are two Leos whose romances keep us preoccupied). While Venus is naturally at home in sensual Taurus, this fiery alignment adds a thrilling twist, perfect for anyone feeling a little lukewarm on love up until now. Expect unexpected and dramatic declarations, deepening passion, and even a boost to your finances as Venus weaves her magic in the sign of the lion.
According to astrologers, Venus in Leo is bringing with it some major good vibes, and it will be especially impactful on four signs.
Here’s everything you must know about Venus in Leo, including the four zodiac signs set to glow the brightest, according to astrologer Kristy Gray.

What Does Venus In Leo Mean For You?
“Venus in Leo is a red‑carpet moment for the heart,” says astrologer Kristy Gray. “It’s big, bold, romantic energy that invites us to show up with unapologetic confidence in how we love, express, and allow ourselves to be adored.” This transit brings heat, glamour, and the kind of warmth you’ve been craving—whether from yourself or a partner.
That said, Leo’s dramatic flair isn’t without its potential pitfalls. “When the heart feels unseen, Leo energy can withdraw or seek validation in the wrong places,” warns Gray. With Venus in Leo activating during eclipse season, we’re being asked to course‑correct. Stuck in a limp ‘situationship’ or dating someone who keeps you waiting at the metaphorical red velvet rope? It’s time to wave goodbye. In Leo’s realm, there’s no place for lovers who treat you like anything less than royalty.
But remember: love is not just about being adored—it’s giving too. “Those craving deeper connection must remember, it’s not just about receiving, it’s also about showing up and giving. Love is a loop, not a one‑way street,” Gray reminds us.
Who Will Benefit Most From Venus In Leo?
Leo is a fixed sign—so naturally, the fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) will feel this transit most intensely. Gray says, “Whether it’s love, creativity, confidence, or money, something’s shifting. Don’t resist the shake‑up. This energy breaks patterns, opens hearts and rewrites the rules around what you’re willing to receive.”
Not a fixed sign? No need to sit it out. “I’ll be honest, no-one is off the hook. With this cosmic weather, every sign is invited to deeper self‑worth, more expressive love, and a whole new level of magnetism.”
What Is Your Venus Sign?
If you’re not sure where your Venus sits, remember: Venus rules love, beauty, pleasure and value—what astrologer Kristy Gray likes to call the “divine feminine.” Knowing your Venus sign helps clarify how you give and receive love, what you connect with, and what you find attractive.
For example:
- Venus in Virgo: You love through acts of service, steady, practical, and thoughtful.
- Venus in Sagittarius: You crave adventure over routine; your ideal partner broadens your world, literally and intellectually.
Even if your love life is sorted, Venus transits still ripple through your aesthetics, finances, and self‑worth. “She guides how we experience joy, magnetism and belonging in the world,” says Gray.
What Does Venus Mean Astrologically?
“Venus influences how we magnetise, how we soften, and where we seek harmony. She shows us what we prioritise in connection—what makes us feel adored, and how we define ‘enough’—whether that’s love, luxury or attention.”
All Venus placements come with duality. Venus in Virgo, for instance, might get lost in perfectionism; Venus in Sagittarius may avoid commitment. Gray asks: do we truly believe we deserve pleasure, or are we still waiting for someone to hand it to us? Historically, Venus is often depicted reclining, adored and hand‑fed grapes so channel her energy and demand what you deserve while Venus is in this favourable and fiery position.
