Leo love is in the air (Picture: Getty)
On June 5, Venus moves into proud and demanding Leo (until October 8), which is going to make for a slightly dramatic, expressive, and ‘me me me’ phase for your love life and close relationships.
Your inner child is activated by this transit so old habits or needs or behaviours may surface. Don’t suppress them. Listen to them, talk to yourself, ask what’s up, seek to find out what’s being missed or not provided.
You have needs. Your inner child is never that far away from the scene and drives much of your emotion.
Let the tarot guide you as to what your inner child needs from your relationships during this Venus in Leo season…
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Let it out (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Aries for Venus in Leo: King of Cups
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for someone to listen, care, and maybe even offer advice that makes sense and feels right. You want a rock to lean on emotionally and take the weight, let your pour out your stresses and strains without judgment or recrimination.
There’s a welling pool of feeling within that you have to release. Find an empathetic friend and tell them everything, let it all go.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
There’s no shame in calling something when it isn’t working (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Taurus for Venus in Leo: Eight of Cups
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for permission to give up on something that is not working out as you hoped.
Deep down, you know this. Deep down, you are scared of admitting defeat so you carry on pushing… but it’s a dead end, Taurus. Let it go. Stop trying. Move on to something else or face more outbursts and frustration.
There are better opportunities ahead if only you’ll stop dragging this dead weight with you.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21

Tarot card for Gemini for Venus in Leo: Ten of Cups
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for love. You tend to play it cool, cover emotion with humour, and refuse to be vulnerable in front of anyone.
Enough of this play-acting. Be real. Share your true feelings. Show them you care. Ask for attention. Be in love, be loved, be loving. You are a loyal and passionate partner and friend and you’re at your best when you just let this shine out of you, when you release your softer self.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
Don’t stop believing (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Cancer for Venus in Leo: Nine of Cups
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for belief. There is a dream or wish that you hope for and nurture but maybe you sabotage it or don’t believe it can come true. You get in your own way, you rationalise reasons it won’t work, you talk yourself out of believing in this.
Get out of the way, Cancer! Have faith. Make a plan of action to make this wish come true, it truly can. You are ready for this, you deserve this, and the Universe is going to gift you with good fortune. Believe in true love.

Tarot card for Leo for Venus in Leo: Five of Swords
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for peace and harmony. There has been tension, conflict, and pressure recently in your closest relationships and you’ve felt at odds with those you actually need to rely on and align with.
Come to resolutions, find compromises, agree to disagree, call a truce, bring things to a head and let them die down. You’ve been busy fighting and maybe gotten into the habit of it. Stop squabbling. Be quiet. Listen. Find peace.

Tarot card for Virgo for Venus in Leo: The Magician
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for excitement and entertainment. Relationships should be happy and inspiring places you can be yourself, do new things, have fun, live and learn and grow.
You are seeking new friendships, and maybe a new romance, that lets you do all of this. Passion is a part of it, of course, but the desire to have adventures and explore the world with someone is a big pull too. You are a perceptive and creative person and you need a partner in crime to play with!

Libra
September 24 to October 23
Switch things up (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Libra for Venus in Leo: The Fool
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for a fresh start, a clean slate, a new leaf. It’s time to turn the page in your relationship landscape and start over.
Maybe new people are needed, so welcome them in. Maybe some bonds have run their course and are turning negative, and can be pruned or cut. Maybe some connections have hit snags and issues which need attention, discussion, and processing.
Move things on. Change the scene. Freshen up the dynamics.

You’ll never know until you ask (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
Tarot card for Scorpio for Venus in Leo: Queen of Coins
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for stability and certainty. You want to know where you stand, what’s happening, what they intend, where this is all going.
So, ask… Don’t be scared of the response, whatever it is, it will tell you the truth! Don’t muddle along in ambiguity or confusion. Get clarity. Ask questions. Stick up for what you need and want. Be direct. This is going to be positive and empowering.

Tarot card for Sagittarius for Venus in Leo: Seven of Wands
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for protection. Something in a relationship is triggering an old vulnerability or tender spot. You feel attacked somehow and under pressure.
Fight back. Protect your interests. Withdraw from the relationship if it’s unhealthy or damaging, don’t put up with rubbish right now. Be a strong defender of your whole self and do what’s necessary to create a safe space and environment for you to thrive in.

Bring more play and adventure into your relationships, be humble and free-spirited, let others decide what you’re doing and lead the way. Invoke a few childhood hobbies or favourite pastimes.

Allay your fears, mitigate the risks, and get past this hump. You can handle whatever happens. It won’t be bad. It can be resolved and repaired much easier than you think. Don’t spend time overthinking it, just get on with it.

Tarot card for Pisces for Venus in Leo: Queen of Wands
Meaning: Your inner child is asking for a confidence boost. Something in your relationship landscape has knocked your confidence recently and your self esteem. Maybe a harsh word or passive aggressive attitude.
You are very sensitive to others. So, go hang out with your cheerleaders, your inspiring people, you caring friends and family. You are loved and adored. Remind yourself of that and that one little hard interaction doesn’t change all of that good stuff!
