YOUR Venus in Leo HOROSCOPE

Get ready to love yourself...

What: Venus in Leo

When: July 11 - Aug. 4, 2024

Who’s Impacted: EVERYONE, but especially Fixed Signs (Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius) and Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Takeaway: Romance and passion reach scorching temps, as the need for bold self-expression (and secret validation) steer your desires. 

     Remember Venus in Cancer? (I do, but that’s because I’m a Venus in Cancer native. And we remember everything.) The love planet’s transit through the cardinal water sign likely saw you pinching pennies, cooking fudge brownies, and staying home every night like a domestic goddess, but all that’s about to change. On July 11, Venus, the planet of love, money and beauty, enters feisty, fabulous, and oh-so-extroverted fire sign Leo.

     The short of it: 2024 Venus in Leo does away with any coyness and comfort-seeking, and instead ups your ante for courage, confidence, passion, play, and lots of good hair days. So, you might find yourself splurging on luxurious treats, flirting shamelessly, or proudly asserting your worth to the world. (After all, Leo deserves the very best and will never, EVER settle for less.) 

     You might also notice your power of attraction—aka your magnetism—cranking up. So too will your hunger for attention and adoration. Yep, with Venus in Leo, there’s a heightened concern with performing and looking good. Exhibitionism skyrockets, as you crave being seen / valued and validated. So, you’ll probably be going out more, trading in those cozy nights at home for rip-roaring good times out on the town! Although a word of caution: Attention may, at times, feel like a competition that you NEED to win. At least until Aug. 4.  

     So from July 11 through Aug. 4, you’re also more inclined to be big and bold in your displays of affection. This means, the louder and prouder your partner is about being with you (and vice versa), the happier you’ll be. Now, if they aren’t loud and proud, or they don’t give you enough attention, you’re likely to roar in fury and demand to be treated like the royalty that you are. Of course, if you’re single, this summer’s hottest transit for love gives you options too:

1. You feverishly pursue a love interest like the manic protagonist of a rom-com (which is what the protagonist of MY romcom, Jupiter Returns, does); 

2. You boldly throw yourself into the dating pool, get more daring with your dressings— leopard-print tube tops, snake-skin heels, teased mullet anyone?—and strut around town like Doja Cat. 

3. You proudly pounce on this four-week-long opportunity to prioritize self-love. 

     Really, we should ALL use 2024 Venus in Leo to shower ourselves with praise, adoration and “Your hair looks great!” compliments. Because why the hell not? Venus in Leo shouldn’t just heat up your love life, it should heat up your self-love life too. And if that means spending $150 on a haircut that makes you feel FABULOUS, SO BE IT. (That’s more a message for me, tbh.)

     Of course, what precisely 2024 Venus in Leo will do for you depends entirely on your Sun and Rising sign. So, without further ado:
