Venus in the signs
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.
In plain words
Venus stands for what you love and enjoy. In Leo, that works in a Leo way: warm, proud and wanting to be seen. You do things with heart and want them noticed.
