Venus enters Leo: Love Goes BIG!

Last updated by Susan Taylor

From August 26 to September 19, Venus enters the sign of Leo and goes full-on star mode on the red carpet. But how do you navigate between these two opposing energies? What pitfalls should you avoid and what opportunities should you seize? I’ll reveal everything that awaits you during these intense periods!

Venus enters Leo: Love Goes BIG!

Venus in Leo (from August 26 to September 19): When Love Becomes Spectacular

When Venus, the planet of romance and beauty, lands in the astrological sign of Leo, get ready to trade your Netflix nights for Instagram-worthy outings. Out with discretion, in with passionate declarations! Leo is that fire sign that turns everything into a show. Add Venus to the mix, and you get a period where any outing becomes a chance to shine. No more shy texts: it's time for declarations worthy of the greatest romantic comedies!

This astrological configuration acts like a shot of adrenaline to your social and love life. The shy become bold, the quiet ones take the stage, and everyone is looking for THEIR spot in the limelight.

  • Blockbuster-Style Love: Forget intimate candlelit dinners. Venus in Leo demands grand gestures, memorable surprises, and over-the-top proofs of love. Singles, you're looking for someone who admires you as much as you admire them. Couples, it's time to bring out the big guns!
  • At the Office, It's Hollywood: The creative, luxury, and event sectors, and anything related to children, are booming. Your charisma works wonders in negotiations. On September 16 in particular, Mars and Venus team up to propel your projects forward.
  • Your Body is Craving Fun: Zumba, pole dancing, theater classes... Anything that gets you moving while having fun. Your beauty budget is also on the rise—but be careful not to mortgage your house for a new wardrobe!

Cosmic Agenda: Dates to Note

  • August 25-28: Kicking things off with a bang with favorable aspects. This is the time to launch your ambitious projects.
  • August 27-28: Pluto gets involved and awakens wounded egos. Keep your cool in the face of provocations.
  • September 16: THE golden date! Mars boosts Venus = guaranteed success for your romantic or creative initiatives.

My User Manual for Venus in Leo

  • Embrace your sparkle without going over the top. A touch of glamour is enough; no need to empty your savings account.
  • Hand out compliments like confetti. In Leo, mutual recognition opens all doors.
  • Dare to be original in everything you do. This is the time to break the mold and show off your uniqueness.
  • Keep a sense of humor when egos flare up. It's better to laugh it off than to make a drama out of it.

Venus in Astrology: The Planet of Love!

This so-called "fast" planet represents love in our birth chart, our way of loving according to our sign, our romantic life, our emotional bonds, our concept of love, and pleasure.

💞 For example, a Venus in the astrological sign of Libra will seek well-being above all, serene relationships, whereas Venus in Scorpio will feel more loved and vibrant in difficulties, forbidden things, sometimes even drama, but both of these Venus placements will be very sensual. There are also more cerebral, reserved Venus placements: Venus in Virgo or in the sign of Capricorn.

Furthermore, Venus represents artistic activities and the care one takes for oneself. For male natives, Venus can represent the "lover" type of woman, meaning the type of woman who attracts him sexually, who he fantasizes about.

A planet can exert a positive or negative influence depending on its position or the aspects it may form with other planets.

  • Positive influence of Venus: harmony, epicureanism, beauty, sensuality, charm, pleasure, artistic sense, sociability…
  • Negative influence of Venus: nonchalance, possessiveness, subjectivity, coquetry, carelessness, cowardice, aversion…
  • From a symbolic point of view, Venus represents: love, feelings, desire, sedentariness, selectivity, affection, aesthetics, woman…

The Influence of Venus Depending on the Sign It's In

As you've understood, the position of Venus in a natal chart is very important; this is what's called your "Venus sign."

Venus in Aries: You believe in love at first sight

Once you've spotted your prey, you don't take your eyes off them. Here we find the characteristics of Aries: bold, direct, and frank. Even if your love life has been strewn with obstacles, you regret nothing. Be careful to control your impatience and learn to love less exclusively to avoid scaring your partner away!

Venus in Taurus: Possessive but loving

You start searching for your soulmate very early on, that ideal being who will deserve your pure and sincere love. The only catch is, to win your heart, they'll have to pass your tests, prove themselves trustworthy, and be capable of sharing their feelings. The path isn't always simple, far from it, as your possessive nature can scare some away, but it's worth the effort.

Venus in Gemini: A tad narcissistic

Just to check that your charm is still working, you can't help but flirt... which earns you many reproaches from your other half. Fortunately, you know how to reassure them and manage to get forgiven every time. Deep down, we know your need to be loved is immense!

Venus in Cancer: Your family, a pillar

Characterized by your gentleness and sensitivity, Venus gives you all the qualities needed to protect your offspring and cherish your partner. Living in your cocoon with your family allows you to distance yourself from the world and its superficial side. A long, romantic love life is all you wish for!

Venus in Leo: When you love, you don't count the cost

Once you have someone in your sights, you don't let them go. But your involvement fortunately doesn't make you blind. There's no question of anyone trying to lie to you, unless starting World War III is what they want. Your demands seem enormous, but they are actually proportional to everything you do to satisfy your partner.

Venus in Virgo: Flirting? Not your thing

When it comes to love, you believe reason should prevail, although you secretly dream of experiencing a great passion. No need for grand gestures with you, as you insist on analyzing your suitor's behavior and intelligence before starting a relationship. Even if your feelings seem reserved, they are actually very intense. Once committed, you give your best to avoid the worst.

Venus in Libra: Charming but jealous

A harmonious atmosphere reigns in your home, a secret only you possess. But when other women dare to set foot in your territory, you bring out your claws. Venus in this sign has not spared you from jealousy, and you fear that others represent a danger to your relationship. Once calm is restored, you love to please your other half, and you're always ready to take care of your appearance to seduce them.

Venus in Scorpio: Need for spice

There's a fine line between love and hate, and you cross it as soon as you feel betrayed. On the other hand, when the magic happens, your union becomes exceptional, and passion makes you live wonderful moments. You put your partner on a pedestal and don't hesitate to devote all your time to them.

Venus in Sagittarius: A ray of sunshine

Optimistic, cheerful, and generous are words that describe you very well, even if, like everyone, you also have flaws. Like giving the impression of always being on the go. One thing is for sure, with you, life is full of surprises and never boring.

Venus in Capricorn: It takes time

You do everything not to betray your feelings. Your rather cold attitude forces your suitors to redouble their efforts to win your heart and your trust. Life with you appears as a real challenge, as you take a long time to stop being wary of your partner. But once that stage is passed, the two of you are solid as a rock.

Venus in Aquarius: In love with freedom

Your originality and rebellious side leave no one indifferent, however, advocating for freedom too much is not to your advantage. It's up to you to find the right balance, to find the ideal adventure partner, the one with whom you won't see time pass, and the one you won't get tired of.

Venus in Pisces: The ultimate romantic

You seem shy at first, but in reality, you sometimes protect yourself for fear of failure. Capable of dedicating unconditional love to the chosen one of your heart, you could follow them to the ends of the earth. A great romantic, your ideal relationship resembles those seen in movies. You don't have any particular criteria; your partner's only quality is knowing how to make you dream.

The Influence of Venus According to the Astrological House It's In

💡 Before you start reading, do you know what an astrological house is and its importance? No? Then this article is for you: Astrological Houses, what role do they play? What do they mean?

Venus in House 1

With Venus in House 1, you are a friendly person, most certainly charming and attractive. You place a lot of importance on your image, your appearance, because you need to be loved and admired. You need to live in harmony with others and you are gifted at it. You also have a sense of aesthetics. Depending on the sign Venus occupies and the aspects it receives, you might be a bit too greedy for conquests and become deeply unfaithful.

Venus in House 2

With Venus in House 2, you need security in love. You are looking for a stable relationship in which you can fully blossom. Depending on the aspects of Venus and the sign where it is located, this position can represent natives who are materially interested in their romantic relationships. Financially, Venus in House 2 indicates that you have a talent for making your assets grow but that you can also quickly spend the money you earn. With Venus in House 2, you can also earn a living through an artistic activity or something related to fashion or aesthetics.

Venus in House 3

In House 3, you need to establish emotional connections, to put affection into all your relationships, whether they are fraternal, family, professional, or other. This can sometimes lead you to temptation and infidelity. You like to please, mix pleasure and games, and flirt. Depending on the rest of the birth chart, your love life can become unstable. On the positive side, your great sociability and adaptability open many doors for you. People appreciate your tolerance and your affectionate demonstrations.

Venus in House 4

In House 4, you are very attached to your family, your origins, your roots, your childhood… You may have been (unless there are negative aspects on Venus) very loved and cherished as a child, which made you want to reproduce this warm and benevolent atmosphere in your own home. Venus in House 4 can also indicate that you constantly need to be the center of attention for your loved ones and that if you lack attention, you quickly become anxious and fragile. Since House 4 is also your home, you take special care of it (decoration, etc.).

Venus in House 5

When your Venus is located in House 5, for you, when love is good, everything is good, and if you are not emotionally fulfilled, you quickly wither away… Love is your nourishment. Venus in the astrological House of pleasures can announce a great love during your life. This Venusian position can indicate that you are particularly friendly, open to others, and that the domain of feelings and pleasures is of paramount importance. Depending on the aspects received by Venus and the sign where it is located, you either manage your love life perfectly well or you fall into an excess of pleasure-seeking. Venus in House 5 can also represent the special affection one has for children or a gift for professions related to aesthetics.

Venus in House 6

Venus in House 6, in the sector of work and daily life, indicates that you seek simple, day-to-day pleasures. At work, you are very sensitive to the surrounding atmosphere and you need to love what you do. Without motivation, it is difficult for you to keep your job, to the point of making you sick. In love, you can be shy, discreet, not very expressive, but this of course depends on the sign and aspects of Venus in your natal chart. In any case, you remain helpful and attentive. During emotional difficulties, you tend to somatize easily.

Venus in House 7

The star of love in House 7, of unions and partnerships, indicates that you can only partner up if you have feelings. In love, it's an indicator of a marriage for love. More globally, you put affection into all your relationships and you position yourself according to your sympathies or antipathies. You may attach a certain importance to the physical beauty of the individuals you get close to. You attract others with your charm and your welcoming smile. However, try not to systematically seek the affection of others, as this could unbalance you. You can't please everyone.

Venus in House 8

This Venusian position in House 8 can make you very demanding in love. You need to feel constantly evolving, to experience intense, passionate feelings. Consequently, you might often question your relationships. Unless fate plays tricks on you and imposes many experiences, sometimes difficulties, before you find emotional stability. Sexuality can take on great importance in your life, whether it is lived or fantasized. The sign and the aspects (positive or negative) that Venus receives in the natal chart are particularly important here.

Venus in House 9

You are attracted to travel, different cultures, and foreign languages. Moreover, this Venusian position in House 9 indicates that you could find love with a person of foreign origin or someone with a different culture or religion than you. It could also be a person of your nationality whom you meet abroad, during a trip or a journey. It could also be an individual from a different social class. You have high ideals. You dream of peace between nations, understanding between beings, and humanism. You can thrive and go far in artistic studies.

Venus in House 10

Venus shines on your natal chart, in your socio-professional sector, in House 10, the career sector. You certainly project a warm, even seductive image. At work, you avoid conflicts and you are particularly gifted at mediation and diplomacy. You need to maintain pleasant relationships with your colleagues and collaborators; you are very sensitive to this. For this, you are capable of efforts and concessions. You can thrive in an artistic career or a profession related to aesthetics. In other professions, you risk being a bit too dependent on others throughout your career. In diurnal charts, Venus here can indicate a great importance and influence (positive or not) of the native's mother.

Venus in House 11

With Venus in House 11, you are not very selective in your acquaintances and friendships because you like to remain open to everyone. Friendship is very important to you. You invest yourself, you are devoted to your friends and acquaintances. This Venusian position can indicate a weak boundary between love and friendship for the native. Thus, in your life, a friendship can evolve into love and vice versa. Depending on the aspects and the sign of Venus in the birth chart, this position can represent an individual who spreads themselves thin in their friendships to the detriment of their love life.

Venus in House 12

Venus is located here in House 12, of limits, confinements, sacrifices... This configuration can give a taste for impossible loves, the expectation of an extreme fusion between you and your beloved that is never enough… This can lead you into complex romantic situations (unavailable people, abusive people…). You should avoid believing that love is stronger or more beautiful if it causes suffering… Depending on the sign and the aspects Venus receives, this position indicates that it is not easy for you to love: either you tend to give up on love, to distance yourself from your feelings and your emotional life for fear of suffering, or you sublimate love, you idealize it so much that you can never reach this ideal… All of this can of course evolve over the course of your life… This position can give a true spiritual, mystical vocation.
