The placement of Venus in Leo indicates that you have a need to be appreciated within your relationships and this need is also reflected in the way in which you formulate your value system. This sometimes manifests as a need to be dominant (or have your authority acknowledged) in a relationship. With Venus in Leo, your need to be appreciated and noticed also may manifest in your adopting values that are in harmony with creativity, thus allowing you the scope to be dramatic and draw attention to yourself. Much of the behavior and many of the personality characteristics associated with Venus in Leo are a result of your need to value creativity and feel respected and appreciated in your relationships.

Venus’ placement in Leo is especially ambivalent, as is symbolized by the natural square between Leo and Venus-ruled Taurus combined with the natural sextile between Leo and Libra, which is also ruled by Venus. Leo is the Fixed Fire sign. Venus is symbolically energized by Leo’s fire, but this fire energy may also be discomforting for the naturally passive nature associated with Venus. Regarding relationships with Venus in Leo, on the one hand, you are likely to enjoy being “on display” to others, and particularly to your partner. On the other hand, the inherent self-centeredness often associated with Leo sometimes makes sharing a relationship difficult. Venus is generally comfortable with the stable, fixed nature of Leo, since this is supportive of relationship. However, when Leo’s fire energy turns this fixity to active stubbornness, the result is not likely to be positive.

Venus also symbolizes the anima in the psyche. Thus, if you are female with Venus in Leo, you are likely to model your femininity in order to incorporate characteristics typically associated with Leo. If you are male, you are likely to be attracted to someone who projects or embodies Leo-associated traits.

Insecurities

As an individual with Venus in Leo, if you are insecure within yourself, you are likely to have a fear of being unnoticed and unappreciated. This often leads you to try too hard to be liked by others. Domineering relationships may be the result. You may either dominate your partner to bolster your own security – forcing him or her to acknowledge you – or in your insecurity and lack of self-esteem you may attract someone who will dominate you. With Venus in Leo, you may also settle for someone who is “below your level” in your desperation to enter a relationship in which you are appreciated and acknowledged to be superior.

Venus in the 5th House:

With Venus in the 5th House you are likely to enjoy a robust and expressive sense of beauty and relationship. The 5th House affords the Venusian function a chance to fully develop in elaborate fashion. Here, Venus’ energy can be completely expressed and developed to its mature potential. In the 5th House, your evaluation of your sense inputs and your awareness of and involvement in relationship become self-conscious, but in a fresh and innocent way. Having Venus in the 5th House, you not only become concerned with how you value and relate to your physical and social environment, but with what you can do with the Venusian function to embellish your persona. This involves a certain amount of awareness of how others perceive and validate your tastes and judgment and your way of relating. You will generally endeavor to display your most positive side in these matters, perhaps hiding your shadow to avoid disapproval.

As an individual with Venus in the 5th House, you can be expected to express your sense of beauty and form. Whatever your tastes, especially in the arts, music, drama, poetry, etc., these should be evident to those who know you, for they will be expressed. If you have any talent in these areas, you will probably try your hand at artistic creativity. Having Venus in the 5th House, you will at least wish you could express yourself creatively and will likely appreciate those who do.  You are also not likely to be shy about expressing your opinions about what you dislike or find ugly.

Insecurities

With Venus in the 5th House, if you are inwardly insecure, you will be unwilling to surrender yourself to another, or to purify your values so that they are selfless. This will lead you to hold back your self-expression. The values that you do express will be false and superficial. Your sense of beauty will be flawed by selfishness and your taste will be for show only – an attempt to gain others’ approval. Overcompensating for your insecurity, you may be vociferous in expressing your likes and dislikes but you care neither for the sensitivities of others nor for your own true affections.

In relationships, with Venus in the 5th House, you will hold yourself back, fearful that what you express may be rejected. Out of timidity, you may also fail to express your tastes and preferences. You may therefore appear to others to be a shallow personality, without passion, without a sense of yourself and without much to give in a relationship.

Evaluation Focus

As an individual with Venus in the 5th House, your evaluative and judgmental function is focused in the creative arena.  For this reason, you may have a well-developed (or at least pronounced) sense of artistic taste. You are likely to be particularly appreciative of the artistic expression of form, beauty and harmony. In fact, more than others, you are likely to be sensitive to the form inherent in a work of art.

Having Venus in the 5th House, you may also be very focused on expressing your judgment and taste. You are likely to make known to others what your likes or dislikes may be. This may be done directly (verbally) or indirectly through an open (sometimes ostentatious)  display of taste.
