Venus — the planet of love, beauty, and connection — moves through Leo from August 25th to September 19th. Bust out the ring lights and your fave faux-animal prints. In the sign of the show-offy lion, the planetary flirt is anything but subtle. Even if you tend to be a wallflower, this transit rolls out the red carpet for your inner diva. There’s no need to force yourself into the spotlight, though. Instead, gently coax your creative side out to play, and don’t shy away from pleasure. When you’re having fun, it’s much easier to share your charisma with the world — and choose a cute outfit for the occasion.
But there’s one thing to watch out for while you’re perfecting your power mane: competitiveness. If you catch yourself obsessing over your “like” counts or taking others down a notch, be real about any limiting beliefs that are driving your behavior. The point of this transit isn’t to go viral or be crowned the queen bee; it’s to reclaim your right to shine, no matter who or what tries to take it away. So check your ego at the door. When you celebrate yourself without upstaging anyone else, you inspire others to do the same.

Your life doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth celebrating. Venus in Leo is inviting you to crank up the volume of creativity, romance, and play. Joy isn’t something to save for later, and it isn’t superficial or silly to have a good time.
If you’re afraid of taking up space, drawing attention to yourself, or prioritizing your desires, challenge yourself to be a little bolder. When you do, you’ll build relationships that are more fulfilling and inspiring. Own what you want, and you’re more likely to get it. Forget being a wallflower. You’re meant to be impossible to miss.
It’s not immature to have fun. As Venus enters Leo, indulge in the experiences you loved when you were younger — especially if you tend to shut down that part of yourself to be a functioning adult. Over the coming weeks, let yourself be creative without overthinking it, and add some pizzazz to your usual routines.
If you’re craving some encouragement, connect with family members or chosen kin who cheer you on and help you feel safe. Turn on your favorite nostalgic playlist, or throw a party that your inner five-year-old would adore. Don’t let anyone judge you for enjoying what you enjoy.
Dust off the mic. As Venus enters Leo, being a bit of a loudmouth can make you even more magnetic. Your opinions aren’t “too much.” When delivered with a dose of consideration for your audience, they’re just right.
If you’re afraid of seeking attention or sticking out, ask yourself what fears are holding you back. The answers might be healing. Then challenge yourself to share your truth anyway. If that seems daunting, start with consistently penciling in time for creativity in your daily schedule — even if it’s just a minute or two for daydreaming.
The more you regularly connect with the parts of you that want to play, the greater the impact of your messages.
If you want more abundance in your life, celebrate the goodness that’s already there. As Venus enters Leo, luxuriate in what you’ve got, whether you treasure material things or your own talents and capabilities. Expressing gratitude for your inner and outer resources, both big and small, will help you feel more grounded.
When you sense that you’re safe and secure, it’s easier to offer your gifts generously and confidently, without holding back. Sharing your assets is a blessing, and it encourages others to support you in return. In the end, you only receive as much as you’re willing to give. So give it all while you can.
Wanting what you want isn’t selfish. As Venus enters Leo, your magnetism, stage presence, and craving for applause get turned up a notch. Own it. Let yourself be witnessed. And welcome any sweetness, creative inspiration, or plain old fun that arrives over the coming weeks.
The key to achieving your desires is being generous with what you already have. If you cling too tightly to your gifts or hold back the part of you that yearns to be noticed, you’ll miss a chance to realize your potential. So share what you’ve got.
Don’t wait around for other people to make the first move. Someone has to get this party started, and it might as well be you.
Indulge your inner attention-seeker. As Venus enters Leo, it’s healing to hang out solo and connect with the parts of you that secretly want to shine. Your relationship with your own gifts and talents is just like any other relationship: You have to dedicate time to helping it grow and thrive, even when no one else is around.
Challenge any messages that discourage you from standing out from the crowd. Tune out your inner critic so you can make more room for creative inspiration. Offering love to every side of yourself will help others witness both the wallflower and the showstopper within you. Get ready to make your mark on the world.
You don’t need to downplay how much you adore your friends, allies, or wider community. No matter what anyone says, platonic relationships aren’t less important than romantic ones.
As Venus enters Leo, the bigger your displays of affection, the better. Over the coming weeks, the more gratitude you express for your social network, the more you’ll receive in return. So send those “ily” texts and heart emojis. It’s easier to tap into your own creative gifts when you have group support.
Remember: It’s not selfish to crave witnessing and validation from others. Give yourself permission to seek the applause you desire. Sharing your unique talents is an act of generosity for the collective, so don’t hold back. You never know when taking that risk will inspire someone else to do the same.
You can’t get the recognition you deserve if you hide your talents. As Venus enters Leo, quit holding back. Bring more of your unique creative flair to your career, your life’s work, or your public projects. Permit yourself to share your gifts as widely and generously as possible.
If you’re afraid of “making it all about you,” don’t be. After all, nobody can witness you if you don’t take the stage in the first place. And when you refuse to doubt your instincts, you inspire your audience to be bolder in expressing their own ideas. Put yourself out there, and you’ll attract the allies and supporters who are aligned with your mission.
Embrace your love of adventure. Venus in Leo is inviting you to satisfy your craving for exploration. It doesn’t matter what kinds of mysteries you’re driven to understand. What matters is letting yourself learn something new. Over the coming weeks, the more you push the boundaries of what you know, the more you can tap into life’s sweetness.
Reminding yourself that there’s always more to discover will boost your creativity. So throw yourself into unfamiliar circumstances, and seek out the teachers, mentors, guides, or fellow travelers who are willing to do the same. Life is more enjoyable when you treat it as an ever-unfolding journey.
You shine brightest when you’re willing to dig deep into the shadows. And befriending your sore spots and pain points is necessary for tapping into your creativity.
As Venus enters Leo, embrace forms of self-expression that help you honor these difficult feelings. Beneath old grief, disappointment, or longing is a desire to be witnessed and understood. Invite this part of yourself to take center stage.
It’s not selfish or immature to seek validation; it’s essential for your healing and wellbeing. So showcase the lessons you’ve learned the hard way. And if you feel inspired, bring a bit of vulnerability to your collaborations too. Grants, loans, and material support are easier to come by when you reveal your hidden gifts to the world.
It’s okay to brag about the people you love. As Venus enters Leo, go big or go home in your one-on-one relationships. Celebrate your besties, beloveds, or long-haul business partners — the more extravagantly, the better. That emoji-filled “thank you” post isn’t too much; it’s just enough.
Over the coming weeks, consider how your commitments impact your confidence. Ideally, your closest bonds boost your self-esteem and encourage you to express yourself creatively — no filters needed. If they don’t, challenge yourself to be bolder about asking for what you want.
It can be risky to show others what you genuinely think or feel, but it’s worth the effort. You can’t have fulfilling connections if you don’t invite your whole self to the party.
Enjoying your life doesn’t mean you aren’t working hard enough.
As Venus enters Leo, infuse more pleasure, beauty, and flirtation into your daily grind. If you think you have to hustle nonstop to prove yourself or achieve your goals, challenge that belief. Experiment with the idea that taking breaks, making time for meaningful relationships, and getting playful can fuel your best efforts.
Sometimes you do have to force yourself through your to-do list — that’s just life. But over the coming weeks, ask yourself how you can make your routines more fun, and notice what happens when you do.
Right now, you also have extra charisma in your conversations about work or wellness, so mingle as much as you can. The helpers you need will be drawn to you like bees to honey.
