Cancer

This is a time when you could find yourself feeling comfortable since Venus is speaking to a side of you that you can totally jive with. Security is the focus right now, which I’d bet sounds just fine to you, dear Cancer! Knowing what to expect is totally one of your love languages.

This is a period where material possessions are going to mean a lot more than usual to you. You’ll find objects feeling more sentimental to you and you may just find that you’re indulging in some new things that you’ve been wanting for a while! 

Romantically, you’ll attract the most love if you work on your sense of self-love first. This is a perfect time to show yourself some appreciation. Take yourself out on a date, work on your self-esteem, and do you! This should be your top priority. 

The benefits of this remarkable sense of self not only include just feeling better in your own skin, but your new confidence could be leading others to become more attracted to you and the new pep in your step! 

If you’re already in a long-term partnership, then consider rededicating yourself to the relationship by going all in on a big purchase. Buying a house or a car together is a form of dedication too, since it implies the two of you will be together for at least as long as the object lasts, and there is something sweet about that!

Leo

More than any other sign, you will become totally illuminated by Venus in Leo. This is your sign and at least while Leo is in Venus, this is your world (though I certainly didn’t need to tell you that!).

Leo, your mere presence will have others flocking to you. You are luminescent with the power of the Sun and Venus guiding your every step. Everyone around you will not be able to help but see the beauty that radiates from you. 

It’s a great time to find love! You have a wonderful presence and bright energy that’s keeping the eyes of everyone around you right on you. This is your time to keep your energy and optimism high because this is exactly what will draw that new lover your way. 

If you’re in a long-term relationship already, then your partner will find you impossible to resist at this time. They see what a great catch you are and are likely asking how they got so lucky to be with you. It’s a wonderful time for any Leo! 

You might find that you’re more willing to work on your physique at this time or perhaps you change your look-up in a big way that makes others do a double take! It’s a wonderful time to experiment with your image.

Virgo

This is a period where it’s time to draw back and indulge in some quiet contemplation. You could be feeling like the Universe is generally good at this time and you have some faith – even if times have been hard recently.

Virgo, you could find yourself feeling as if retreating is the best option at this time. You find a lot of your joy coming from being alone right now. 

This means that you may not even be looking for love during this transit, or at least the idea appeals less to you. Being alone is okay and you don’t need anyone else to come around for you, at least not now. For now, this is a time for deep healing and for getting to know yourself and the part of you that no one else knows about.

If you have a partner already then this is an excellent time to hang back with them and watch the world go by. If the two of you are so inclined then perhaps heading to church and participating in some joint prayer would be highly beneficial to you both. Get spiritual together and think about taking up something that makes both of you feel limitless. 

Believe it or not, prison guards, caregivers in secluded settings, or hospital providers could take an interest in you. People who serve the least privileged among us will find you incredibly attractive!

Libra

Libra, if you are down to get romantic, then you need to stick to your friends like glue because they will have some insights for you. Ask them for advice on your love life or ask for them to introduce you to someone new… you may even fall in love with a friend! 

If you’re in a long-term partnership, then this is the perfect opportunity to rekindle your love by reminding your partner that they are your best friend. By the end of this transit, you two will be peas in a pod even if you weren’t feeling it just before. 

This is a beautiful period for you to keep your hopes and dreams in view. Consider, what is your hope for humanity and what kind of world you want to leave behind. These thoughts might have you considering volunteering for causes that mean a lot to you.

In fact, you should certainly think about volunteering right now! You could meet friends while volunteering or you may just meet the one! Find a spot to put your energy into that will make you feel good. This will naturally align you with just the kind of man who you’d be proud to take home to your mother.

Scorpio

This is one sign that should not fall into the Venus trap of blowing off work to go fraternize! In fact, most of Scorpio’s socializing should be about professional ventures at this time.

Consider, what is it that you are recognized for. What are you an authority on? These are the things that you should be pursuing during this time frame! It’s about the type of thing that you’re known for. This is the area where you could find some romantic action!

Now, Scorpio may find themselves falling for older, distinguished people during this time. Perhaps even your boss! Anyone who holds authority or who is at the top of their game (or fame!) in your eyes is going to be catching your eye!

In a long-lasting relationship, this could be a time when the two of you are assisting each other in getting your life in order or helping one another in pursuing your goals. The two of you may bounce ideas around that change your lives one day!

Sagittarius

You are totally in your element while Venus sits in Leo! Sagittarius, you are the type to philosophize, travel, and learn as your life depends on it, and Venus in Leo is begging you to expand upon these natural inclinations… but you always have been the lucky type, haven’t you?

You can really find someone who speaks to your natural desires during this time if that’s what you want. You will be blessed with the ability to find love everywhere.

Since you can find romance in the least expected places, try traveling and expanding your horizons. There is a high chance that you’ll find just the right person for you in or from a faraway land.

You could find yourself falling for someone in a college setting as well. Even if you aren’t a student, maybe a student catches your eye, or perhaps the professor himself! 

If you’re already in a long-term relationship, then I implore you to try to head out on a trip. Even just a state or two away will enliven your romance and get the fire burning!

Capricorn

This is the time to stretch your boundaries and get a little freaky, Capricorn! You are in a period where what you never thought you’d do is going to feel within reach. You might just feel like you’re unraveling, but not necessarily in a bad way!

When Venus enters Leo, Capricorn, it’s time to find your inner weirdo and indulge the side of you that you’d rather no one else see. If you have naughty, filthy interests then it is a great time to explore it. 

You may find yourself being uncharacteristically into sex… like a lot more than normal! You might not recognize yourself at this time, and that’s okay! This is your permission slip to indulge and explore.

You could find yourself receiving an inheritance or coming across someone else’s money in some way. Accept this and say thank you to the Universe, because this could be a huge blessing in disguise.

Aquarius

Aquarius, you have the potential for something spectacular to happen in your relationships! You are highly motivated to start a relationship at this time, and this could feel strange to you since usually you’re more about friendships.

Someone very important can pop up in your life during this time. You are in a unique position to find someone who lights up your world and who has staying potential during this time. You are a blessed person to be experiencing this!

If you are married, this is a time to celebrate. Consider renewing your vows or going on extra dates together. You are totally in love with your partner at this time and you’ll find that this time is one that makes you incredibly happy to have your love.

This can be a time when you enter into contracts with others as well. Make sure that if you sign a lease or an agreement all the I’s are dotted and the T’s crossed. This could be a lucrative time for business partnerships as well!

Pisces

Pisces, I know that calling off of work is one potential way that you protect yourself (and sometimes retreat) but while Venus is in Leo, I recommend that you show up because great things are going on there!

You might just kindle a love relationship with a coworker at this time. If you’ve been crushing on a coworker this is an amazing time to test if they like you back (tip: they probably are!). 

Pisces, this is your time to find joy in the mundane. This is not your comfort zone, but this is the best time ever to fall in love with the little things that are grounded in reality. 

Pisces is going to find that if they’re in a relationship already the relationship may need a little push to stay steady at this time. Make sure that the lines of communication are wide open and if the relationship feels like a chore, talk about it!

What Is a Venus in Leo Woman Like?

The Venus in Leo woman is primarily very social, and she can handle and resolve all issues through her social circle. She enjoys family gatherings and fancy parties where she can showcase her elegant style, her perfect home, or the way how she managed to raise her children, achieve a harmonious marriage, or handle her career and above all, public success. Because, every little thing she plans and does, is a success.

The Venus in Leo woman is a traditionalist. She will wait for the man to pursue her first, by giving him subtle compliments regarding his career success, discipline, and in some rarer cases, his looks. And once in a relationship, she will do anything to represent only the best feminine traits when the two of them are alone or in public.

When things are going right, she is the best and most useful partner a man can ever wish for. And when things go down, beyond the point of repair, she will move on with dignity and quickly find someone better.

In sex, the Venus in Leo woman is dreamy, prone to long romantic introductions, and above all, she loves to “stage” her performances every time – without exception. This is why she is the ideal partner for those who are more inclined toward romantic and soft experiences and love the “whole package” instead of just a short and intense carnal performance.

What Are the Personality Traits of a Venus in Leo Woman?

The best traits of a Venus in Leo woman are her innate abilities to be so caring, considerate, and helpful, even with people she doesn’t know at all. She is genuinely interested in improving things and circumstances through kind actions, and above all, she is so romantic and fine with her manners.

On the opposite end, the negative traits of a Venus in Leo woman are her dramatic “performances,” the need to be the central figure anytime, and her restless, almost childish need for continuous excitement.

What Are Venus in Leo Women Attracted To?

Venus in Leo women will always seek someone equal to them. But, on the other hand, this person shouldn’t be just a “king” of a certain area, being that career, fine arts, or anything significant. This person must be disciplined and someone who already had to go through all sorts of struggles to become who he is, for a woman with her Venus in Leo to respect him. This will ensure him a special and lasting place in her heart.

Looking from the physical perspective, Venus in Leo will fall for someone with a lighter complexion, hair, or eyes, and someone prone to become somewhat chubby later on.

And Venus in Leo is especially attracted to older types of successful men, as in that old saying “silver in his hair and gold in his pockets.” But, this is not the story of gold-digging, just the appropriate partner for the glamorous Venus in Leo.

What Is a Venus in Leo Man Like? Who is a Leo Venus Man Attracted To?

The planet Venus in a male chart shows what type of person he is attracted to and what are his core values in life, and not strictly how he will behave because he will be more under the influence of Mars and other masculine energies in his natal chart.

Therefore, a Leo Venus man will be powerfully drawn toward joyous and creative women, and those who have a strong sense of self-value. He will love to go out frequently, but he will enjoy parties with style that require a certain class and not just any folks gathering.

A man with a natal Venus in Leo will be creating various combinations for lucrative deals in his mind non-stop, and he will surely be exceptionally talented in the entertainment industry, as an actor, comedian, or leader.

In some cases, he will use this innate talent to manipulate people in general, business clients, or his romantic partners depending on his circumstances or goals.

He will love money, not as a means of safety, but as something that will help him to create the lifestyle he needs. And this lifestyle will always revolve around expensive cars, big condos, exotic destinations, wine and dining, and especially, lots of “exquisite” women while he is younger, and one unique queen when he reaches the point of commitment.

When in love, a Venus in Leo man will immensely enjoy all the little and big luxurious things that create the perfect scenery for him and his loved one. He will be very generous with compliments and gifts, and even if he cheats, he will treat his “side hustle” the same, but taking care that his wife never finds out.

In sex, a Venus in Leo man will show all sorts of acrobatics and amazing capabilities. But, once he really falls in love and sex is not just the show-off thing anymore, then he will open up his heart completely, become deeply sensitive, and slow down a bit.

What Are the Personality Traits of a Man With Leo Venus?

When it comes to Venus in Leo man’s positive traits, he will always be generous and in a good mood. Also, he will be affectionate and not afraid to show his emotions. And besides all that, he will be adventurous and, in many cases, crazy brave.

However, when it comes to Venus in Leo’s negative traits, he can be extremely tiring with his endless energy which can turn out to be destructive in some situations. Also, he can behave egoistically or egocentric, or at least his ego will frequently be inflated. Generally speaking, he is not the ideal type of man for all those with low or fragile levels of energy.

FAQs About Venus in Leo: Getting To Know Venus In Leo Better

Is Venus in Leo Egoistic?

Venus in Leo is not egoistic at all! She is just full of self-esteem and brimming with the inner glow. In any situation, she will easily become the center of attention, and often, she won’t even have to wave her little finger to achieve that effect.

This natural glow of inner certainty combined with perfect style, calm gestures, and mesmerizing voice will have an enchanting effect on everyone around her. This is why some people could perceive a person with this Venus position as someone self-centered or even egoistic.

As you might already know, the planet Venus governs our values and partnerships, and for the sign of Leo, values are placed in their natural area of career and success, which is the sign of Taurus. And relationships or partnerships of all sorts are in the sign of Libra, which is the natural area of close friendships for Leo.

In this sense, we can now see that Leo’s highest aims are to achieve stable and respectable wealth and at the same time, have friendly (or better to say, diplomatic) relationships with the majority of people. Simply put, to make friends with anyone instead of enemies.

Having the planet Venus in the sign of Leo means merging beauty with power, and this is why so many individuals with this position have committed bonds or, in some cases, affairs with the people associated with them through their work. The classical example for a woman with Venus in Leo is to meet a powerful CEO as his secretary and marry him after a short while.

Is Venus in Leo Weak?

There is no question about it because Venus in Leo is not weak at all. On the other side, this planet might be “burnt” when within a few degrees from the Sun in someone’s natal chart. But, even in this case, this will show the powerful need for attaining love and position at the same time.

Women with this placement will fall in love with their boss or the most powerful person in their surroundings, and it won’t be even about money, although this Venus will know clearly that money is necessary for a comfortable life. It will be mostly about power or prestige.

In a man’s chart, it will indicate that he might fall in love with his assistant, or he might be tempted to cheat his wife with his secretary once he reaches the power position, and of course, if the other natal placements confirm those types of situations.

What Does Venus in Leo Want?

Venus in Leo wants recognition. She loves to shine, and this is not just about her perfect face, body, or style, but she wants to be admired and remembered as a genuine queen who took care of her king, raised perfect children, have a perfect home, and has her power position in life.

Venus in Leo wants to know that the whole world recognizes her real role and that every judgment she has, is logical, the most practical, and also beautiful in all of its rightfulness.

Is Venus in Leo Possessive?

Leo in Venus is by no means possessive. And this doesn’t mean at the same time that she will give freely any of her psychological or physical “possessions,” anything that is her “territory.”

When it comes to love, she won’t “prosecute” her partner, and the moment she starts suspecting something bad is going on, she will demand clear explanations. If those explanations are not so clear after all or don’t sound truthful, she won’t fight or try to keep the status quo. She will simply let go and move on with her life without regret or sadness.

A similar reaction will occur in any other area of her life. She won’t fight because the queen never fights for anything. And if something or someone is taken from her, then this simply means that something or someone better is coming.

How Does Venus in Leo Flirt?

Generally speaking, there is a masculine and a feminine way of flirting depending on a person’s natal chart. And in the case of Venus Leo man or masculine energy, this will be expressed as “showcasing.” The person will show the obvious signs of status and offer the woman the world.

This means that he will take her wining and dining, drive her in a luxurious car, attend all fancy parties or high-level events, and also, shower her with generous gifts and noble compliments. And according to his social status, this can be something small or something big, but it will always appear as royal.

For a Leo in Venus woman, her style of flirting could be rather conservative because she will never chase anybody. However, if someone attractive is close and tries to pursue her, then her eyes will shine with admiration, and she will occasionally notice how this person is intelligent, sufficient, elegant, or simply amazing.

Is Venus in Leo a Cheating Type?

In general terms, Venus in Leo is not a cheating type. This position wants clear and honest relationships while they last. And if any sort of secretiveness or confusion sneaks in, then this Venus won’t tolerate it at all.

On the other hand, for a Venus in Leo man, cheating can occur if the other planetary aspects support those types of events, but even then those encounters will be strictly physical, and he won’t ever allow himself that some side “adventure” ruins his marriage and overall position.

Venus in Leo Compatibility: Who Are Leo Venus Compatible With?

Generally speaking, Venus in Leo will get along the best with the fire signs and air signs. The individual with their natal planets or significant points in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius will produce huge excitement and joy. And on the other side, any sort of relationship with Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius will brim with positive, uplifting energy and mutual admiration.

On the “negative” side of Venus in Leo compatibility, there will be earth signs and water Zodiac signs. And with Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn, this Venus in Leo can expect power struggles. And with Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, many misunderstandings, and dramatic, but fruitless events will follow.
