Venus in Leo 2024 Turns Up The Heat on Summer Lovin’

While love planet Venus luxuriates in theatrical Leo, all the world’s a summerstage. Embrace your main character energy and start acting out your personal fairy tales. What you need to know about the Venus in Leo transit, from July 11 to August 4, 2024. 

Venus struts into playful, passionate Leo for several weeks this summer, taking your love life from mild to wild!

Enjoy the dopamine rush of attraction the Venus in Leo transit delivers

This three-week cycle delivers plenty of high-key opportunities for romance. Epic dates can last for hours with more stops on the itinerary than a Taylor Swift tour. Get ready for colossal courtships and bold declarations of devotion.

And hello, eye-candy! Venus in Leo unleashes a wave of maximalist fashions—bright colors, loud patterns, skin-baring styles. 

Bonus: Venus won’t be retrograde in Leo like it was last summer, so enjoy the extended fireworks display of this sultry, saucy season.

Venus in Leo is nonstop acts, so remember to take intermissions

When Venus struts through scene-stealing Leo, you’ll want attention in megadoses. But when friends, family and lovers can’t give it, look out! Tantrums can get reality-show ugly. Plus, who is going to play the role of the cheering supporter?

The big challenge this summer is remembering that love is a two-way street. Nothing wrong with wanting to be cherished and adored, but if you treat your date like the on-demand president of your personal fan club, dynamics could take a nasty turn. Remember to step back and share the limelight. Helping others shine is equally rewarding.
