Venus in Leo: Love Like You Mean It
Show up fully, loving yourself out loud, and letting that energy ripple into every part of your life, from your relationships to your revenue. ✨ Venus in Leo wants you to stop shrinking and start shining.
This week, Venus enters Leo (August 25-September 19), beginning a radiant journey of bold self-expression, creative magnetism, and heart-led healing.
With Venus in Leo as the only major transit this week, the cosmos is giving us one last spotlight moment, an invitation to fully embrace confidence, creativity, and connection before eclipse season shakes the stage.
In astrology, Venus rules love, beauty, pleasure, and magnetism. Leo adds a burst of confidence, charisma, and creative fire. This is a transit that invites you to take up space, speak from your heart, and embody the energy you want to attract.
Venus in Leo is about being seen as your full self. No edits. No filters. No playing small. Over the next few weeks, Venus will form powerful aspects with Neptune, Pluto, Lilith, Mars, and Chiron. Each one will peel back a layer of fear, resistance, or self-doubt so you can stand more fully in your radiance. This is an arc of magnetism through embodiment.

💼 Venus in Leo Is Great For (Business Edition):
💎 Venus in Leo is about feeling magnetic, aligned, and lit up in your business. This energy asks you to be bold, visible, and unapologetically yourself. Here are seven ways you can channel the vibe right now. Pick one and slate it into your schedule to take advantage of this energy.
🔥 Magnetizing dream clients through your presence
When you show up confidently online, on stage and in your offers you attract people who resonate with your energy, not just your credentials.
Action: Share one story, post, or reel this week that shows your personality and not just your resume. Let people feel you.
🎤 Launching with personality
Whether it's a new offer, podcast, or program, this transit supports putting it out there with flair. Don’t be afraid to go big or get a little extra.
Action: Infuse your next launch with a playful, dramatic, or heartfelt touch whether that’s storytelling, music, or visuals.
🎥 Showing your face + building visibility
This is one of the best transits for getting on camera, being interviewed, or sharing your story in a bold, beautiful way. Let your people fall in love with your energy.
Action: Record one short video where you show your face and share a message from the heart. Post it even if it feels imperfect.
🧲 Selling through self-expression
Sales content lands better when it's honest, magnetic, and lit up from within. Venus in Leo sells through vibe, not pressure.
Action: Write one sales post that feels like a love letter instead of a pitch. Speak to what lights you up.
💌 Creating a luxury client experience
Elevate how you make people feel from onboarding to delivery. Venus in Leo loves glam and gold-standard service.
Action: Choose one touchpoint in your client journey to elevate, like a welcome email, onboarding gift, or delivery detail.
🎨 Branding or rebranding
This is the time to infuse your brand with bold visuals, luxury touches, or creative flair that feels unmistakably you. Venus in Leo is aesthetic, elevated, and expressive.
Action: Audit your current visuals. Pick one area (website, presentation deck, instagram, merch, etc) to elevate or refresh in order to make it feel more like the current version of you.
🧠 Reconnecting to what makes your business fun
Joy is strategic. If it feels lifeless behind the scenes, your audience can feel it. Venus in Leo helps you reignite that creative spark and bring more play into the process.
Action: Block one hour this week to create, play, or experiment with something that excites you (not just what’s “productive”).
So what does all this mean for you?
Venus in Leo is a call to radiate, not retreat. To express, not edit. To own your desires and embody your worth out loud. This transit is asking you to show up as who you are, fully and unapologetically.
And while the glow-up energy is collective, the area of life it touches depends on your rising sign. Here’s how to work with this three-week window of radiant alignment and what to focus on in your business and beyond:
