Read your horoscope for Venus in Leo
Thrill of the chase
Venus — the planet of love, beauty, and connection — saunters through Leo from July 11th to August 4th. Over the coming weeks, statement jewelry, loud faux-animal prints, and the art of the grand entrance are yours to claim. Venus in Leo coaxes you to flirt, create, and indulge more boldly than ever. Even if you’re more comfortable seeking pleasure behind the scenes, this transit invites you to roll out the red carpet.
Venus is offering you a golden permission slip to radiate your gifts — but first, it has to charm its way past Pluto. On July 12th, Venus in Leo opposes Pluto in Aquarius, which could temporarily take the wind out of your showboat sails. Obsessing over the audience’s appraisal could tie you in knots, and scarcity mindsets could trip up your quests for validation. Just remember: There are more than enough accolades and gold star stickers to go around. Whether you want to win best-dressed at the bodega or to share your good news on social media, don’t feel guilty for celebrating yourself. Letting your talents shine in the spotlight is an act of generosity — partly for the paparazzi, but most mostly for yourself.

The following horoscopes were written by Stephanie Warner.
Aries & Aries rising
As Venus enters Leo, the time is ripe for you to take your creative gifts down the proverbial catwalk.
Dress to impress your inner ten-year-old, even if that means clashing statement jewelry with abandon. Deck out your bicycle with golden streamers. Make art as if nobody’s judging, with passion as your only muse.
The practices, rituals, and simple pleasures that conjure a “heck yeah” from the heart — don’t question them. Validation from external sources is cheap, but the joy that radiates from within is precious.

Just don’t forget to share these domestic pleasures with your kin. We can’t control the legacies we’re born into, but the familial stories you choose to tell are worth their weight in gold.

As Venus enters Leo, it’s time to shine your ring light on your talents, hobbies, and inner riches.
Whether you choose to write daily gratitude lists, adorn yourself in faux gold, or cheer yourself on in the mirror, basking in the ways you already feel resourced will magnetize even more abundance. If you feel a tad vulnerable sharing your gifts, dialogue with the parts of yourself doing the wallflower routine and provide some encouragement.
Remember: Your trust in yourself is your most precious asset of all.

Leo & Leo rising
As Venus enters Leo, you get a cosmic permission slip to be as extra as your heart desires.
When you trust the paths and opportunities that make your every cell glow, abundance follows. But you’ll need to meet this train of sweetness halfway.

Virgo & Virgo rising
As Venus enters Leo, your inner sanctums get a makeover.
Though you may not immediately notice this subtle renewal, this moment is reintroducing you to the sweet balm of solitude. So prioritize naps in your agenda. Enjoy the replenishment of some cool cucumber slices on your skin. Create a VIP club for one (with a guest pass for your lucid dreaming crystals).
If claiming your private time conjures feelings of guilt, interrogate these blockages. Remind yourself that even the mighty Sun needs to slip below the horizon every day.

And remember: You’re under no obligation to stay for the whole party. Slipping out exactly when you need to — or arriving fashionably late — will affirm your radiant autonomy.

Scorpio & Scorpio rising
As Venus enters Leo, it’s time for your public life to bask in its fifteen minutes of fame — or at least some excellent mood lighting.

If taking up worldly space brings all your shadows to the yard, find calculated ways to maintain an aura of mystery. Even those who work behind the scenes can enjoy their moment at center stage.

Capricorn & Capricorn rising
As Venus enters Leo, your collaborations get sweeter and more creatively generative. But receiving this gift requires meeting it halfway. That means risking vulnerability in all your exchanges and hyping what you bring to the table, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Jazz up your chore roster with a pretty calendar and cute stickers. Explore guest slots for your podcast or newsletter. Set a date for a clothing swap. Just by accepting that you don’t have to go it alone, you’ll cast your own abundance spell.

Quality time doesn’t have to be complicated. Something as simple as exploring a new neighborhood with your pals or cuddling with your nearest and dearest can renew your commitments. And if your needs for your best life are clashing with other people’s wishes, that’s okay.
Right now, even the trickiest negotiations can be patched up seamlessly.

Pisces & Pisces rising
As Venus enters Leo, it’s time to adorn your workstation with fresh sunflowers, lush stationery, and your favorite scented candles. Though pleasure and toil may appear incompatible, now it gets easier to whistle through your to-dos or sign up for a dance class that’s as joyful as it is sweaty.
If you still feel swamped over the coming weeks, practice the art of delegation. Bask in the Sun between calls. Celebrate what you’ve accomplished instead of fixating on what needs to be done. Play is part of the work.
