Your star sign’s Venus in Leo love life tarot horoscope reading

On June 13, Venus (the planet of love and pleasure) moves into Leo (the sign of drama, passion and self confidence), so expect your love life to heat up a lot.

This is all about attracting and giving attention. If you’re single, now is the phase to get out and about and catch someone’s eye that you feel chemistry with.

If you’re attached, then sizzle and schmooze! Date nights, intimate moments, escapades, and paying each other all the compliments (ideally with gifts and grand gestures thrown in too) is the order of the day.

Venus in Leo is the perfect start to 2026’s ‘summer of love’.

Let’s see what you need to acknowledge and express with my Zodiac Love Match oracle deck, which uses a unique colour-coded system to give you a full and frank love forecast covering everything you need to know.

Aries

March 21 to April 20

Tarot cards for Aries for Venus in Leo: Gemini, Power Couple, Set A Deadline 

Meaning: Timing matters in all relationships — fledgling, new, mature or fading. We can all carry our feelings for a long time before the opportunity arises to do something about them. You will be presented such an opportunity this coming month. You can set that deadline!

What to do? Well, the Gemini and Power Couple cards ask you not to ‘settle’. You are a high energy partner and need someone who can keep up and even challenge you. You thrive on passion, curiosity, adventure and ambition. You want someone to build a secure, fun, successful, and exciting lifestyle with, so you’re never bored, never stagnated, never feeling low or like you don’t know what’s next.

Light the spark in your love life, see who can match you, trust that, within the month, the opportunity to (re)build that power couple vibe is coming your way. Don’t miss it!

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Tarot cards for Taurus for Venus in Leo: The Ex, Don’t Drink The Poison, Fading Feelings

Meaning: Your love life is going forwards, not backwards, and you might need to work on that consciously as tethers from your past try to curl around you again.

The truth is that all Taureans struggle to ever truly lose/give up on someone or someone they once loved. You have a possessive core.
But you must give up on it, no matter what they’re saying to you now.
The ex still has some kind of hold, even if it’s just lingering limiting self beliefs they left you with.

Don’t drink this poison any longer! Put down the bottle of old feelings and memories, pour it down the drain, throw it in the bin. Your feelings and ties to this past situation or person will fade, they already have, so don’t stoke it all up again. The best is all yet to come. What you’re building now is worthwhile, don’t look back.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Tarot cards for Gemini for Venus in Leo: Free Spirit, Fun Fling, Say Goodbye

Meaning: This trio of cards absolutely spell: hot holiday romance. A summer fling! A casual encounter that reignites you in many ways… but is not meant to be a permanent fixture, it serves its purpose and then moves along, so let it be.

Don’t chase what fades. Be free spirited, be yourself, be untethered. Even if you’re attached, take your space and create your own adventures… you’ll have more to talk about together!

A fun fling doesn’t have to be sexual or even romantic, maybe it’s with a certain place, friend, hobby, interest or pursuit. A temporary but intense fascination that you enjoy. Either way, learn to let it go when it’s delivered whatever it’s meant to. Life is full of ebb and flow, comings and goings, and you will feel that energy this Summer.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

Tarot cards for Cancer for Venus in Leo: Libra, Spill the Tea, Stormy Weather

Meaning: You see and know everything! Nothing escapes your ‘spidey senses’ and yet you rarely let on what you know. You prefer to keep in all inside. However, you are going to spill the tea this Venus in Leo season.

Some stormy weather or drama will activate your desire to speak the truth, tell it how it is, show that you’re not being played or fooled, that you can see the true motivations in play. Tell them, Cancer!

I feel like it will clear the air. The Libra card promises harmony and peace, after a phase of conflict and revelation. Sometimes you have to break eggs if you want to make a delicious omelette and you’re getting busy in the kitchen!

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Tarot cards for Leo for Venus in Leo: Leo, Do The Groundwork, Smooth Sailing

Meaning: Venus moving into your sign makes it all about you, even more than usual! Be bold, be beautiful, shine and glow wherever you go and bask in the attention you receive; the Leo card grants you full permission to be centre stage and love it.

In love, in relationships, make sure you’re doing the groundwork. Talking, planning, sharing, discussing, building, creating, aligning. If it doesn’t feel like it’s going anywhere and you’re not on the same page, then move along, it’s not for you.

You deserve harmony and bliss, a phase of smooth sailing, and if that’s not how it feels then question if this is where you belong. Your love life has the potential to be amazing and fulfilling right now.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

Tarot cards for Virgo for Venus in Leo: Scorpio, Align Future Goals, Temptation

Meaning: Don’t bottle things up, play into keeping secrets, or suppress your true desires and feelings, Virgo. The Scorpio card is a warning that you’re protecting yourself by pretending you don’t feel a certain way or want a certain outcome. The truth will come out. Don’t prolong this limbo by pretending.

Align your future goals and focus. Know what you want from your love life and what you bring to it, and what suits you. You may be asking for commitment or clarity, that might make you feel vulnerable, but do it anyway. And, remember, that no answer is the answer…

Avoid temptation, be that distraction so you don’t have to face this, or honey-coated words that don’t align to reality. Be clear-eyed and clear voiced. Speak your mind. Get clarity.

Libra

September 24 to October 23

Tarot cards for Libra for Venus in Leo: The Best Friend, Spill the Tea, Smooth Sailing

Meaning: Did you know that 80% of relationships come from initial friendships? We all like to take our time, and sometimes, we all benefit from getting to know someone before the attraction blossoms, because then it’s more than physical.

The Best Friend card puts you in that position (even if it’s a re-evaluation of your partner and you’re thinking how much you like them as well as love them). Spill the tea! Tell them how you really feel. Venus in Leo is the time for the reveal. Secret admirer role soon to be relinquished…

I think it will go well. I think this revelation or even just warmer levels of flirting will be reciprocated and met with equal fervour. Nothing to lose, right? Flirting can always be scaled back, or put back in the box altogether, if the reaction is neutral. Go on. See if you can take this to the next level… it’s time.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Tarot cards for Scorpio for Venus in Leo: Virgo, Unlock New Insight, Uncharted Territory

Meaning: The route to the love life you yearn for is delivered in Virgo-type way; project-managed, planned, organised, seeking info and insight. How well you know someone will dictate how intimate and trusting you can be with them, so invest in unlocking new insight about your object of affection.

Ask weird questions, share something vulnerable about yourself to set the tone, brainstorm, play word associations, pick unusual themes for discussion, ask about their childhood, share a favourite memory- maybe show them or take them someplace. Make them a mix tape!

You’re heading into uncharted territory. The relationship you’re in, or about to enter, will go further, deeper than others, and will mean something new to you. This is exciting, go all in.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

Tarot cards for Sagittarius for Venus in Leo: Aries, Don’t Drink The Poison, Power Couple

Meaning: Jealousy is in the air. Don’t drink the poison that others are offering to you, maybe with sly digs or hints about your object of affection. Question them, validate what they’re saying or debunk it. Be like Aries- brave, direct, passionate, heart worn on sleeve.

Sometimes you have to fight to protect what you love, sometimes other people try to get involved just for drama, out of boredom, or because they are jealous. You have got real ‘power couple’ energy around you and it attracts the gaze and imagination of folk.

You actually quite like being centre stage and knowing people are talking about you both, but don’t stoke the fires or get into squabbles. Challenge the haters, get the facts, and then sidestep them for good. You don’t need negative interference in your love life right now.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

Tarot cards for Capricorn for Venus in Leo: The Ex, Pause and Reflect, Spiritual Connection

Meaning: You know, life lessons occur to us at strange times and it’s often the case that the wisdom of an experience doesn’t become apparent until months or years later… when the emotions have faded and you can see look at it dispassionately.

The Ex and the Pause and Reflect card combine to bring you a fresh insight on an old relationship this Venus in Leo, and it’s a powerful one. Maybe the one that got away, the one that hurt you most, the one you never understood, the one that shocked you.

Use it. Use that insight to impact your closest relationship now, even if it’s just to share your processing and new opinion. They will be surprised and may reveal something of their own past or life lesson collection. Spiritual connections come from sharing wisdom and experience and your survival and out-take from it. Live and learn, together.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Tarot cards for Aquarius for Venus in Leo: Capricorn, Take The Crown, Solitude

Meaning: Solitude is not an unwelcome state of affairs for Aquarius folk as you prize your independence, love space and freedom, and enjoy your own company. It can make for misunderstandings or tensions in close relationships and maybe you do need to take accountability for that right now.

Take the Crown means owning your actions and the consequences (intended or not) of them. Acknowledge the impact your need for solitude has had. Explain it. Ask for understanding, share something of your inner workings.

The Capricorn card reveals that practical actions can totally resolve this tension. Committing to certain time/place/activities. Being clear how much time you need in a planned period of time. Not fibbing about where you’re at (only to avoid an argument, but somehow it always backfires). Tackle this healthy conflict head on. Put measures in place to reassure them and also give you your space. It can work!

Pisces

February 20 to March 20

Tarot cards for Pisces for Venus in Leo: The Free Spirit, Pursue Passion, A Fun Fling

Meaning: Someone is due to enter your life during Venus in Leo that you find almost impossible to resist. Their presence may not be long-term, so if you’re happily attached then maybe this is a temptation you can ride out, so to speak.

But if you’re single, well, why not? They are a Free Spirit, a roving wanderer, a casual encounter. But the intensity of the chemistry between you is undeniable… and life is for living, right?

It will certainly be a fun fling, and maybe it has more potential, but for now it’s not something to bet your house on. That doesn’t mean it’s a waste of time. There is awakening energy to be drawn from this phase, and of course many happy memories to look back on. Don’t skip it… unless skipping it is the best thing to protect what you already have. Be shrewd.
