While love planet Venus luxuriates in theatrical Leo, all the world’s a summerstage. Embrace your main character energy—and act out your personal fairy tales. Here’s your horoscope for the fierce Venus in Leo transit.
Venus in Leo: August 25 to September 19, 2025
Romantic Venus restores her sultry roar on August 25 as she shimmies into the lion’s den until September 19. If you’ve had trouble tapping into your fierceness over the past few weeks, that’s about to change. This glamorous, amorous cycle calls for high-fashion ‘fits, decadent dinners and unapologetic PDA.
It’s also a powerful window for launching creative projects, diving back into the dating pool, or revving up romance (new and long-term). Update your personal branding so the outside matches the genius within. With Mercury fully out of retrograde (and past its retroshade), the coast is clear to hire a stylist, book a photo shoot or collab with a pro designer.
When it comes to love, this Venus cycle doesn’t do subtle. Hire the skywriter. Gush like a hopeful on The Bachelor (“I am so ready to take this journey with you…”). Swipe right like it’s your side hustle. Above all, take it from legendary Leo Whitney Houston: “Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all.”
Dopamine rushes, incoming!
Love shifts from mild to wild as Venus struts through playful, passionate Leo. This three-week stretch serves high-key romance and theatrical vibes. Epic dates can stretch for hours, with more stops than a Taylor Swift tour. Get ready for bold declarations, colossal courtships—and chemistry that sizzles from the jump.
And hello, eye-candy! Venus in Leo unleashes a wave of maximalist fashions—bright colors, loud patterns, skin-baring styles.
Remember to take intermissions. Venus in Leo is nonstop acts. You’ll crave attention in megadoses—and when others can’t deliver, watch out. Tantrums can veer into reality TV territory. Who’s playing your supporting cast when everyone else is starring in their own scene?
And let’s not forget: love is a two-way street. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be adored, but if you treat your date like the on-demand president of your personal fan club, things could turn messy. Step back and share the spotlight. Helping others shine can be just as rewarding!
