Venus in Leo Transit: Drama & the Diamonds

Venus transiting Leo is an awesome time to host fun summer parties and go on exciting new adventures.

The Goddess of love and abundance ingresses into Leo on Aug 11 and will stay in this passionate, flamboyant fixed fire sign till September 4.

When Venus transits Leo, we can anticipate big romances, flashy gestures, and big drama to unfold.  

In Astrology, Venus governs our self worth, creative self-expression, partnerships, love connections, and our ability to attract abundance.

Venus rules over Libra and Taurus.

As a result, Venus traditionally represents two major areas of our life: love and money.

If you are planning to go on vacation while Venus is in Leo, you will no doubt feel particularly drawn to staying at exclusive, glamorous places even if it’s out of your budget.

Venus in Leo is notorious for her love for spending big on luxury items and lavish dinners.

However, this time around our frivolous Goddess will be unceremoniously reined in by the planet of restrictions Saturn.

It will form a tense opposition to the Lord of karma towards the end of her journey through Leo around Aug 28.

Make sure you don’t go too wild and overspend on big ticket items as you may be faced with some unpleasant consequences when Saturn checks in on you end of August.

However, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the finer things in life. Just make sure you don’t go too over the top. And you will be tempted!

‘Go big or go home’ – is the motto of Venus in Leo.
