Any Leo placement is always grand and tends to be the center of attention without trying. Venus in Leo is no different.

Although Venus in Leo men and women are distinctive from each other, they both have a powerful vibe that others simply sense.

Venus In Leo Characteristics

Venus rules so many areas that the characteristics of your Venus sign can have a large impact on your entire life. Here are the main ways that Venus in Leo shows up.

Money and Style:

People with Venus in Leo often have reddish tones in their hair, although this will depend on the house and placement of Venus. This is especially true for the women.

Otherwise, these folks tend to have curly hair that vaguely resembles a lion’s mane. Sometimes, people with Venus in Leo have a bit of both.

Venus in Leo people typically enjoy nice things. They care very much about quality and well-known brands because they want their things to last. They aren’t the types to buy cheap items; they would rather save up and spend on quality.

It can be important to Venus in Leo people that they find a way to make enough money so they can have the nice things that they want. They probably aren’t afraid to work for it; this might even excite them.

If you have your Venus in Leo, you’re probably quite generous and might enjoy spending your money on other people if they have it. You will certainly want enough money to comfortably go out and have fun with your family and friends.

Living an opulent lifestyle might be important to you. With Venus in Leo, you probably aren’t greedy, but you just want to make sure that your life has quality. You also want enough money to spend time with the people you care about.

Pleasure:

With Venus in Leo, you’re probably very social. Most people with Venus in Leo are stereotypical party animals – they love a good time and enjoy being around people.

You might seek connections with people who will boost your confidence or admire you, or you may just enjoy friends who also love fun. 

You may have a creative streak, too. Many Venus in Leo folks enjoy arts, crafts, theater, etc. This is especially true for women with this placement. This doesn’t need to be traditional creativity (such as drawing) but can be anything that allows you to experiment. 

These people also like anything that pops them in the spotlight. They aren’t scared to be noticed. When you go to a party, you’ll probably see the Venus in Leo person in the center of the room, telling a joke or entertaining others. They love being noticed in an authentic way!

Generally, Venus in Leo folks like really quality items. Things can be very important to them, although they usually feel that people come first. They want the whole lifestyle package.

Values:

With Venus in Leo, you value self-expression. You’re only at peace when you can truly be yourself. You also value others who are themselves around you because you can sense authenticity.

You may also value art or creativity, at least in some way. This isn’t to say that everyone with Venus in Leo is an artist. Instead, some Venus in Leo folks love makeup, hair, movies, social media, graphic design, videography, etc.

With Venus in Leo, you are attracted to people who are creative, or you may instead dream of being creative yourself.

You’re also relatively good with children because you never lose your own inner child. You are able to relate to most people on some level after you get to know them.

However, the thing that you value the most with Venus in Leo is simply love. You may be “in love with love,” or you might just value when others really speak from the heart. You care about relationships and love of all kind, from romantic love to familial love and friendship. Person to person contact means the most to you.

Attraction:

With Venus in Leo, you thrive on romantic attention. You love the initial “falling-in-love” phase. There’s nothing more exciting to you! You want the dating/courtship vibe forever.

You also love when a potential partner notices you and is drawn to you. You get an energetic high from the entire situation. This is especially true when you’re out in a setting with a lot of people.

Typically, most Venus in Leo people are attracted to the most gravitational people in the room. They aren’t typically drawn to any one type of physical “look” but instead move towards the largest energy.

Relationships/Sex:

With Venus in Leo, you need reassurance and an open heart from your partner at all times. Impersonal behavior is scary to you because you sense your partner pulling away. 

You want to feel loved and appreciated. When a Venus in Leo person feels accepted, they will give that acceptance back equally in a relationship.

They need reassurance quite often (although not constantly). With Venus in Leo, you really just want to be noticed by your partner. If you feel seen and cherished then you will be at peace in a relationship.

It can be very difficult for you to separate love and sex. Sure, you might have casual sex, but in a relationship you keep the two intertwined and can’t see one without the other.

For a Venus in Leo individual, actions and physical expressions of love are best. Words are good, but these folks won’t believe them until they see the actions behind the words.

It’s hard for them to let go of these hurts. While they don’t exactly hold a grudge, they will simply feel extremely sensitive about a topic, even years later.

At the end of the day, the Venus in Leo person just wants to feel wanted. They will give this back in droves. They enjoy the “lovey” part of a relationship and never want this to end.

Venus In Leo: Man vs. Woman

This part can get a little confusing, so bear with me as I explain it. Basically, Venus shows itself differently for someone with more masculine energy than it does for someone with more feminine energy.

It’s up to you to choose with energy you identify with more. If you’re unsure, I recommend reading the description of each energy for Venus in Leo (below) and choosing what resonates with you.

Generally, in a woman (or someone with feminine energy), Venus will show how the person acts and what vibes they gives off towards others. When this person is flirting, they will assume many of the qualities of Venus in Leo. These Leo qualities will show up directly in the personality.

In a man (or someone with masculine energy), Venus will show what kind of qualities they are attracted to. How this person will act depends on their Mars sign, but their Venus sign dictates what types of energy they are drawn towards in a partner.

As we evolve and change and the gender lines blur, these distinctions become less absolute. For example, I find that most women will show a lot of the qualities of their Venus when they’re flirting, but a few of their Mars qualities will bleed through also.

It’s important to learn about both Venus and Mars. Each person has a unique combination of both qualities, although this combination may be swayed slightly depending on the person’s gender.

Lastly, a man who is ultra-comfortable with his sexuality will display many more of his Venus qualities, while a man who struggles with his sexuality probably won’t “own” these Venusian qualities, so he will instead look for them in a female partner.

The Venus In Leo Man:

The typical Venus in Leo man is super confident. He might be the life of the party socially. In a group, he won’t analyze things too deeply but will simply act on his instincts, which are usually correct.

This guy likes to be the main character; this comes to him naturally. He is playful and fun to be around, so people flock to him. He’s a natural socializer. If you’re hosting a party, the Venus in Leo man is a great guest to have around!

Romantically, the Venus in Leo man leans towards powerful partners. He is attracted to confidence and will want the most self-assured partner in the room.

While this man sometimes likes outgoing partners, he is generally attracted to the person who “runs” the group, whether they’re outgoing or introverted. He wants the most “important” person. He cares quite a bit about energetic status.

At the same time, the Venus in Leo man is also attracted to beauty. He enjoys a pretty face, nice clothes, and fine jewelry, but he is first attracted to confidence. He won’t be interested in beauty if it isn’t accompanied by an inner confidence. 

The Venus in Leo man is happy to shower his partner with praise and affection when he is into the relationship. He always expect the same back. This man likes to be pampered by his partner and needs to know that he is wanted.

The Venus in Leo man is likely to take things personally, especially if his partner criticizes him. He is rather fragile when he’s emotionally invested and needs to be treated delicately when his feelings are involved.

He can be a bit intense once he is committed to a relationship. It’s hard for him to avoid jealousy, but he also loves romance. He is fun loving and craves variety; this is the guy who will enjoy entertaining dates and nights out.

Occasionally, the Venus in Leo man can be outshined by his partner once he’s actually in a relationship, especially if his partner embodies many Leo qualities. This is not always the case and depends on the house and aspect.

The Venus In Leo Woman:

The Venus in Leo woman has a magnetic personality that “catches” people. Others seem to gravitate towards her. There might not be anything inherently special about the Venus in Leo woman; she simply has a magnetic energy.

Even if the Venus in Leo woman isn’t the loudest, she manages to grab attention in some way. She might do this unintentionally or intentionally. 

The Venus in Leo woman wants a grand, romantic love story when she first means someone. She is constantly looking for an epic love, even if this desire is subconscious.

She will try to impress potential partners with her power. She simply uses her gravitational energy a bit more around them and often ends up at the center of things.

Sometimes, potential partners are also captivated by her creative energy, although this will depend on the placement and aspects. She can easily form partnerships that are based around her creative endeavors, hobbies, or job.

In a relationship, the Venus in Leo woman is very loyal, but she also wants to be shown that her partner values her in return. Her biggest fear is indifference.

If you’re with a Venus in Leo woman, remember to bring her small trinkets after a trip away or little gifts here and there to show that you remember her. She doesn’t need anything super expensive but she does want things that come from the heart.

In return, the Venus in Leo woman is generous with her partners, too. She will shower them with gifts and love without hesitation. 

While the Venus in Leo woman can be a bit jealous at times, she might try to hard this or avoid acting on these feelings in public. Her partners are more likely to notice her bossiness, although the Venus in Leo woman won’t even realize she’s doing it because she’s focused on her own things.

In bed, the Venus in Leo woman is playful and passionate. It’s really important to her that the spark is kept alive. Again, her biggest fear is indifference. She would rather be playing or fighting instead of just avoiding each other. She wants to know that her partner cares for her in some way.

Ultimately, others can’t help but enjoy being around the Venus in Leo woman. She has a super infectious energy that leaks out to everyone around her. She can singlehandedly lift the spirits of any room.

How To Master The Venus In Leo Energy

Venus in Leo people speak and work from the heart. This can be really beneficial because they have a lot of love to give, but it can also mean that they can’t separate from their emotions.

The goal is for Venus in Leo folks to work on thinking things through before they act with logic and discernment. They need to sit down, make a list, and figure out what’s really going on with their feelings.

It is easy for those with Venus in Leo to lash out when they feel hurt, but a bit of self-therapy can go a long way and may save many of their relationships. 

If you have Venus in Leo, work on yourself when you feel hurt instead of trying to change others. Once you know your own feelings and can explain them without attacking the other person then your relationships will be much improved.
