On June 27, Venus moves into Leo, where she will stay until July 22, 2021. Leo is a romantic and fun-loving sign for a vivacious Venus. Unfortunately, her stay does not last long, so we’d better make the most of it!
Leo is a fire sign, known for its exuberance, and Venus loves its pleasure-seeking tendencies. She wants to have fun and delights in little luxuries – and of course, she deserves her treats! But she is also kind-hearted and generous, and freely shares her blessings with her friends. After all, she needs a court of admirers.
In Leo, Venus is a firework of creative energy, and she burns with passion. However, Saturn currently resides in Aquarius, the sign opposite Leo, so creative play is not quite as uncomplicated as it otherwise might be. Saturn is a cautionary principle that has a tendency to hold back. This can produce anxiety that can be felt as self-consciousness and perfectionism. Other people’s opinions matter a great deal.
At times, Venus in Leo can also be a bit of a Diva, displaying an air of pride and vanity. This is likely to be a symptom of overcompensation, and she may secretly suffer from self-doubt (imposter syndrome!) But once she learns to love herself and ditch her dependency on others’ approval her natural self-confidence will radiate and become a great source of inspiration.
Venus is a fast-moving planet, which means that the effects of this transit will be felt fleetingly. Those, who experience it as a direct transit to planets and angles in their personal horoscopes are most likely to feel a noticeable effect.
