Venus Is In Leo & Your Summer Is About To Get *Spicy*

Katriel Orlean

The planet of Venus just entered the sign of Leo … so, what does that mean for you? ICYMI, Venus is the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, and harmony, so we will definitely be seeing changes in our love lives, well-being, and self-love — regardless of our zodiac signs. 

Moving away from the emotional water sign of Cancer, and into the lively Leo, this transit means that your love life may become more passionate, and firey, as Leo is known for having a flair for the dramatic. (And we love them for it!) With this transit underway, I spoke with Astrologer Solaris the Hii Priestess to learn more about this significant transit. Each zodiac sign will be impacted differently, and Solaris gave us the tea on each horoscope and how their lives will improve and become impacted during Venus’ move to the sign of Leo. 

For some zodiac signs, this transit might bring more love and relationships, while for others it may spark creative inspiration. Understanding how you specifically might be affected will help you make the most of it: “Venus represents how we express and receive love, our values, and our social graces,” Solaris tells Her Campus. “In astrology, the placement of Venus at any given time can reveal important information about one’s romantic life, relationships, and overall approach to love and beauty.” 

Whether you are into all things astrology or not, we have the scoop on how you might be affected this summer based on this transit.

Aries

Get ready for some amazing changes in your social life, Aries! This transit will fuel you with a ton of confidence, just in time for the summer.

“The Venus in Leo transit may bring extra attention and appreciation from others in your social circle,” Solaris says. “You may also feel more confident and empowered in your personal relationships.”

Taurus

For you, Taurus, this transit could bring a lot more romance and pleasure into your life. Get ready for a summer fling, or the opportunity to embark on a new adventure. “You may find yourself drawn to creative pursuits or feel more inspired to indulge in the things you love,” Solaris adds.

Gemini

Gemini, you have an interesting reading for this transit. Instead of focusing on your love life, this transit may cause you to shift your attention to your family.

“This transit may bring a renewed interest in home and family matters,” Solaris says. “You may also find that your personal relationships and emotional connections deepen during this time.”

Cancer

Before this transit, Venus was in Cancer — meaning, you’re dealing with the hangover of your time in the planetary spotlight. This time around, focus all of that loving energy on yourself, instead of seeking it out on dating apps and other facets of romantic life.

Leo

Always the star of the show: Venus is here, Leo! According to Solaris, “This transit could bring magnetic energy into your life as well as charisma: You might find that others are drawn to you, and that you have an easier time expressing your desires and needs.”

Virgo

For Virgo, Venus in Leo might inspire more financial abundance or a focus on material possessions. As a practical and hand-working sign, this is your opportunity to take a break… you earned it! “You may also find yourself more interested in luxury or pampering yourself during this time,” Solaris adds.

Libra

Lots of feelings are coming out to play, Libra! “This transit should bring a focus on your inner world, with heightened emotions and introspection,” Solaris says. “You might find yourself seeking deeper connections in your relationships, and feeling more creative and inspired. “

Scorpio

For the brooding Scorpio, Venus in Leo could bring a boost to your social life (yay!) and a focus on networking. Solaris says, “You may also feel more confident and assertive in your career or public persona,” so channel that energy into manifesting the life you’ve always wanted.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius is always down for an adventure, and this transit will only amplify the need for spontaneity. According to Solaris, “This transit may bring a renewed focus on travel and adventure, or an interest in exploring different ideas and philosophies.” Additionally, the Venus in Leo transit may make you feel inclined to express new ideas and perspectives.

Capricorn

Get ready to dig a little deeper, Capricorn. This transit, for you, is all about feelings. “Venus in Leo might bring more attention to your intimate relationships and partnerships,” Solaris says. “You might find yourself drawn to creative pursuits or leisure activities.”

Aquarius

As the humanitarian of the zodiac, Aquarius is naturally selfless. However, this transit may influence you to turn all of that energy inward… for once.

“This transit could bring a focus on improving your daily routine and self-care habits,” Solaris says. “You may also find yourself connecting more deeply with coworkers or feeling more productive and focused.”

Pisces

Finally, it seems as though the creative and dreamy Pisces will thrive during this transit. “Venus in Leo may inspire more creativity and playfulness in your life,” says Solaris. “You may find yourself more attracted to hobbies and leisure activities, or feeling more confident expressing your unique style and personality.”
