It’s the most romantic time of the year (cosmically, at least). Venus in Leo has arrived, bringing with it all its passionate, heart-led energy – which means where relationships are concerned, you might be in for a shift.

Venus, our planet of love, meets its match in bold, expressive Leo only once a year. Astrologers often associate this period with exuberant – and sometimes even a little messy – acts of love.

“Venus entering Leo turns love into theatre — it’s about romance that feels big, bold, and unapologetic,” says psychic medium and astrology expert TJ Higgs. “Expect a craving for passion, attention, and heart-centred connections. It’s time to lead with confidence in relationships and not be afraid to shine brightly in love.”

But remember to listen to your head and your heart during Venus in Leo. “Choose love that makes you feel seen, celebrated, and alive,” she adds.

In fact, there are four star signs that are considered to be the most affected by Venus in Leo – read on to find out if it’s you…

Star signs most affected by Venus in Leo

Leo

It’s not exactly surprising. “Venus is in your sign – so this is your time to glow, flirt, and be adored,” says TJ.

“You’re magnetic, radiant, and oozing charisma. Love could come easily now, but be mindful not to expect constant praise or pedestal treatment. You’re the main character, but relationships are still a two-way street.”

Aquarius

As Leo’s opposite sign, you’ll feel the push-pull between independence and intimacy, according to TJ.

“Expect tension and growth in romantic partnerships. Venus in Leo invites you to open your heart more fully, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone emotionally.”

Taurus

“Taurus is ruled by Venus, so you’ll feel this deeply,” says TJ. “Home, family, and relationship dynamics might shift, especially if you’ve been holding back emotionally.”

Scorpio

As a fixed sign like Leo (meaning those that occur in the middle of each season), you may feel Venus in Leo just as strongly.

“This could bring power struggles in love or intense romantic attractions. It’s passionate, but possibly dramatic. Lean into trust,” TJ says. “Intensity is your nature, but Venus in Leo softens you into grand romantic gestures. Let love feel light as well as deep.”
