Venus in Leo

Venus in Leo loves generously and wants the love to show. Attraction is to warmth, confidence and a sense of occasion; romance is a performance both people are in. Affection is loyal, proud and easily wounded by neglect. Taste is rich and a little theatrical. The work is to love without an audience and to let the partner have the stage too.
