On August 25, 2025, 12:27 PM EST, Venus leaves watery Cancer and enters fiery Leo, where she is going to remain until September 19. In Leo, Venus reminds us of the value of being seen in our essence. This transit invites us to express love generously and to reconnect with our creativity, joy, and lightheartedness.
Venus entering Leo is especially relevant for individuals born with personal placements in Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius). The people personally impacted by Venus’s ingress into Leo have an opportunity to invest more energy into what makes them feel alive, nurture their radiance, and nourish the relationships where they feel seen and appreciated.
Venus from Cancer to Leo: Exploring New Channels of Expression
Governing over romance, art, and wealth, Venus in Astrology has to do with how we attract what we desire, express love, and invest our resources. The ruler of both Taurus and Libra, Venus is the planet associated with both the relationships we form with other people and the relationship we have with ourselves, as they always mirror each other.
Because of her connection to Taurus, Venus also correlates with our survival and procreation instincts, as well as with what we value, and with how we establish a foundation of security and abundance in our lives. As the ruler of Libra, Venus corresponds to our aesthetic taste and to how we create beauty, peace, and harmony in our surroundings and relationships.
During her recent journey through Cancer, Venus inspired us to nurture our closest bonds, deepen our emotional intimacy with the people we trust, and connect with an open heart. This transit highlighted the value of family ties and offered us an opportunity to reflect on how our past and childhood still impact the way we relate today. During this time, we were drawn to gravitate toward relationships that feel safe and secure, and we were reminded of the importance of taking care of each other.
As Venus leaves Cancer to enter Leo, we experience a desire to spend more time out and about, invest more energy into our passions, and explore new social environments and opportunities for creative expression.
Venus in Leo 2025: The Value of Being Seen
In the Fixed Fire sign of Leo, Venus highlights the value of creative expression, of investing our time, energy, and resources into what lights us up and makes us feel alive. This transit is an opportunity to cultivate our artistic talents and explore new avenues and channels for our creativity. It is an invitation to honor what makes us feel radiant and creatively fulfilled.
In Leo, Venus emphasizes the importance of feeling seen and celebrated, not only for what we give or do but for who we are at our core. This is an opportunity to reflect on how seen and appreciated we feel, particularly within our relationships, and recognize needs and desires that may currently be unfulfilled or unacknowledged. It is also an invitation to make sure we see and celebrate ourselves and make decisions that reflect that.
Venus in Leo reminds us that love thrives on generosity and grows with warmth and presence. This transit is a time to dare to love without masks and connect with others from our True Self rather than from ego, pretense, or performance.
Venus sextile Uranus, trine Saturn and Neptune
During her first few days in Leo, Venus will align with Saturn and Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini, as well as Pluto in Aquarius. On August 25, Venus trines retrograde Saturn in Aries, and on August 26, Venus trines retrograde Neptune in Aries and sextiles Uranus in Gemini.
The Venus-Saturn trine inspires us to consolidate those connections that feel meaningful and encourages us to think for the long term when investing our money, energy, and resources. This aspect is an invitation to deepen our commitment to the relationships and pursuits we value.
The alignments to Neptune and Uranus, perfecting on August 26, can bring unexpected encounters and inspiring exchanges in both our relationships and artistic lives. These aspects deepen our creative sensitivity and invite us to welcome the unusual and the eccentric. They offer us an invitation to discover what happens when we break free from our habitual routines, explore new environments, and let go of rigid expectations.
Venus opposite Pluto, sextile Mars and trine Chiron
On August 27, Venus opposes retrograde Pluto in Aquarius. For several days, this alignment will bring our attention to power dynamics in relationships, offering us a potent opportunity to transform the way we show up in our connections and allow ourselves to be transformed by the depth of our intimacy with others. The Venus-Pluto opposition can emphasize manipulation tendencies, fuel a craving for intensity, and strengthen our desire to feel in control: the invitation for us is to release the need for control and choose to show up vulnerably in our connections with others.
Respectively on September 15 and 16, Venus forms a sextile with Mars in Libra and a trine with retrograde Chiron in Aries. This Venus-Mars sextile supports our ability to negotiate and find healthy compromises in relationships to create harmony between our desires and those of others. The Venus-Chiron trine facilitates healing experiences in relationships and reminds us of the importance of connection in healing processes. This aspect will help us remember our inherent value and the courage it takes to love and be loved.
