Venus in Leo Majorly Glows Up All Your Relationships

From Cosmopolitan

Good news! Any leftover ~feels~ from Cancer season are exiting stage left, thanks to the start of Leo season. But the Sun isn't the only one radiating fiercely fun vibes into your life. On Saturday, July 27, Venus, planet of love, pleasure, and beauty exits the water sign and sashays into the sign with the most BDE (big DIVA energy) in the zodiac. Your love life is becoming fun and exciting again, and you’re finally able to kiss the moodiness and madness of July goodbye and start your summer properly. For the next few weeks, Aries, Leos, and Sagittarius are feeling their love lives absolutely thriving, but Taurus, Scorpios, and Aquarius have a way busier (but still action-packed) time with Venus in Leo.

While Venus was in Cancer, you focused on your closest bonds and figured out how to make them all work. You felt super soft and tender and your love life was way more low-key than usual, but now Venus is turning up in Leo. The energy of the fixed fire sign is extroverted, dazzling, dramatic, and just a little bit over-the-top. Everyone needs to feel a little extra every now and then, and the vibes of this transit are perfect for being just as theatrical as you want! You want your love life to feel like a movie, basically—but hopefully it’s more like a fun rom-com than a devastating period piece!

Leo season is all about you—learning about yourself, your talents, your best traits, and everything else that makes you stand out as a unique individual. With Venus joining the mix in Leo, the planet of love helps you learn to love yourself more, too. It makes you feel hella romantic and love to love others now, but don’t forget the importance of self love, kween. Luxurious Leo energy is great for going to the spa, getting a massage, splurging on all new makeup–whatever it takes to make you feel your absolute finest. Once your glow-up (which can be something as simple as just buying a hot new outfit and feeling good AF wearing it, TBH) is complete, then you start noticing how effortlessly you’re attracting people who come off just as radiant as you feel.

But–and there’s always a “but”–there are a few things to look out for. You know Leo’s rep for being the most self-absorbed sign? Well, you could unknowingly embody those more negative qualities in your relationships if you’re not careful now. You might think of yourself as the actual gd Sun and just expect your crush/friends/partner/whoever to orbit around you, always available when you want, and never having to be there for them unless you’re in the mood for it. Not cool! There’s also the troublesome fickleness that Leos are infamous for having, and you could run the risk of playing games and toying with other people’s feelings just for funsies. The best way to avoid these dark-sided traits is to just remember to treat others the way you would want them to treat you.

When you go on your Instagram and notice about 300x the couples selfies than normal, that’s how you know Venus in Leo is working its magic in everyone’s love life. If you’re in a relationship, expect way more PDA and romantic gestures from your boo. If you’re single AF, expect waaaay more over-the-top pickup lines from your Tinder matches (and if you start using them, they’ll work way better now, too!). Oh, and fun fact: The Sun and Venus both meet up in Leo on August 14 which is going to be the best day for all things related to love, pleasure, and beauty for the next year, NBD. Until then, Leo season is self-care season—which everyone really needs after the living nightmare that was Cancer season. While you’re living it up in the spotlight, Venus is here to help you find someone worth sharing the stage with!

Aries

If there was any month this year where your love life thrives the most, it’s definitely Leo season. Expect hotter hookups, more Tinder matches than you can keep track of, and to be living your best Hot Girl Summer ever! Over the next few weeks, you’re at your most energetic and upbeat for the entire year, so go on a date (or six) and meet some new people—you’re shining your brightest right now, so don’t waste any time!

Taurus

Self care is best done at home with Venus in Leo, so it’s a great time to clean up the house, get your feng shui on, maybe even have a dinner party with friends—anything to make your home life as good as possible. It’s amazing how incredible you feel outside the house when your living situation is stable! You’re even more of a homebody right now, so you’re going on less dates but can look forward to plenty of Netflix and chill seshes if you’re in the mood!

Gemini

You’re the one sign most likely to get lost typing a fifty-paragraph long iMessage at any given moment, but even you want to turn your phone off right now because hotties are blowing up your phone 25/8! Your chart’s zone of communication is lit up by Venus in Leo, so expect to add tons of cuties to your contacts over the next few weeks! This also means you’re getting way more booty calls, too, but that’s not really a bad thing, is it?

Cancer

Venus in your sign was cute, but Venus in Leo looks way more fun for you, TBH! You’re as introverted as they come, but you’re feeling more outgoing and showy with Venus in Leo. Splurge on a fly new outfit to wear this weekend and soak in the spotlight when it’s all eyes on you! Maybe a new haircut sounds more fun to you, or a day at the spa—point is, it’s time to treat yourself, Cancer! PS: Don’t feel bad about balling out: Venus in Leo = your next direct deposit is way bigger than usual!

Leo

Happy birthday! Venus in your sign means that you’re getting way more lucky, feeling luxurious, and basically loving your love life more than ever for the next few weeks. You’re especially fortunate this year, because the Venus Star Point (aka the luckiest day for anything love/pleasure/beauty related until 2020) is in your sign on August 14—you know that hottie you’ve been dying to ask out? That’s the day to hit them up—the stars practically guarantee your success!

Virgo

Venus in Leo is major self-care energy, and it’s telling you the best way to take care of yourself right now is by cutting out the f*ckboys and toxic friends you may have in your life. Once you clear your space of that negative energy, it’s like you’re in a whole new world full of chances to find new love or friends. This isn’t the best time to start new relationships, but if you start crushing hard on someone, Venus will be in your sign next so you won’t have to wait long to get some action!

Libra

Venus is your sign’s favorite planet, and Leo is the zone of your chart associated with dreams, good luck, and your community—so this next few weeks is ahhhhh-mazing for you! Not only are you living it up with your squad, but you’re adding new members to your friend group pretty much every day. Your sign is the most popular out of all 12 right now! On top of your social life flourishing, the chance to meet new potential lovers is way up right now, too!

Scorpio

Venus in Leo doesn’t guarantee a promotion or a raise for you, but the potential for major upwards mobility at work is definitely there! Relationships on the job are going well– everyone at the office smiles at you when you come in and has nothing but good things to say about you. How friendly everyone is towards you (almost) makes up for how effing busy you are during Leo season, but you can rest assured that all of the good work you’re putting in now is reflecting well on you and your boss is definitely noticing it—keep it up!

Sagittarius

Venus in your fellow fire sign, Leo, means great things for your love life, Sagittarius! You’re the zodiac’s adventurer and now you’re able to learn most through your relationships. People from far away (as in a diff country) are also wandering into your life more now. Whether you just become friends or you fall in love with their hot accent doesn’t matter—each new person is a new experience for you to enjoy, so have fun!

Capricorn

The reputation Leo has for being showy and ostentatious is not very you, Capricorn, but even though you and Leo have *nothing* in common, you’re still having a great next few weeks. Venus in Leo activates your chart’s intimacy zone. If you’re with someone, expect your sex life to heat way up with this fire sign’s vibes, but if you’re looking for love, you’re likely to encounter someone that you develop a strong connection with. They’re not guaranteed to be the LOYL, but at the very least you can expect some unforgettable sex!

Aquarius

You’re not the most romantic sign, but Venus in Leo warming up your chart’s relationships zone is making even you a sucker for romance! You’re able to heat up your love life, whether you’re single or not, over the next few weeks, so enjoy all the extra action! All of your relationships are thriving now, TBH, so when you’re not doing it with your boo, you’re living it up with your bestie. Even people you’re beefing with are feeling a little more soft towards you now, so now’s a great time to bring an end to any long-lasting drama you might have!

Pisces

You’re pretty much always feeling disoriented or overwhelmed by something or someone because you’re a literal whirlpool of feels, but Venus in Leo is here to save the day! You’re naturally more productive, organized, and efficient now, so your office relationships are glowing up the most because you’re wowing all your coworkers. This is also the ultimate self-care astrology, because Leo is your chart’s zone of health and wellness. Start a workout routine, clean up your space, or start meal-prepping—you’d be amazed at how incredible you feel after making just a few lifestyle changes!
