Leo Monthly Love Horoscope

You’re craving more than attention this April, Leo—you want substance behind the spark. Venus is retrograde in Pisces and your eighth house of intimacy, trust and deeper bonds until April 12, pulling you into some overdue soul-searching around emotional (and erotic) closeness. Are you keeping connections surface-level to protect your heart? Or are you ready to dive deeper into your desires, even if that means confronting old vulnerabilities?

This retrograde invites you to get clear on what intimacy means to you now—and who’s ready to meet you there. Take your time with the process. If you’re still nursing a heartbreak, this retrograde can give you a blessed chance to dress the wound and glean the lessons from the relationship you’re leaving behind.

But you won’t stay in reflective mode ALL month. On April 18, smokeshow Mars blazes into your sign for the first time in nearly two years, charging up your first house of self, attraction and bold moves until June 17. You’ll be radiating confidence and commanding attention everywhere you go.

This is your green light to make daring plays in your love life—whether it’s initiating a steamy connection, cranking up the experimentation with your partner, or simply showing up as your most magnetic self. Heads will turn, but this time, you’ll be more selective about who earns a second glance.

Venus wraps the month by moving into Aries on April 30, heating up your ninth house of adventure and expansion. Long-distance crushes, culturally different connections or relationships that feel like an adventure could gain momentum now. If you’ve been itching to shake up the script, this transit invites you to break free from romantic routines and explore uncharted territory. Coupled Leos, get a “baecation” on the calendar before this cycle ends on June 6 and you have less free time on your hands.
