Venus in Leo in the Third House

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 relatie. 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 relaties 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.

Onzekerheden

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 3rd House:

The function symbolized by Venus of evaluating perceptions and sensations is likely to be heightened with Venus in the 3rd House. You are likely to be particularly sensitive to your immediate surroundings and very much aware of what is around you. As an individual with Venus in the 3rd House, you may have strong or definite reactions to people and things in your environment, as you are likely to immediately judge whether something is good or pleasing as soon as its impression is received.

The emphasis suggested by Venus in the 3rd House is on the here and now and your interaction with and reaction to what is immediately occurring. You often may want to learn about your world by experiencing it, absorbing its impressions, taking it all in and then judging its worth. You may see much beauty in the world around you. Your focus is more likely to be external and you may not be given much to reflection or reevaluation. Once you has experienced and tasted a thing, you are often ready to move on to the next experience.

Onzekerheden

With Venus in the 3rd House, everything that you perceive is the subject of your judgment. If you are inwardly insecure, you are afraid of pain and you crave that which is pleasant to the senses. Therefore, your mind is always thinking: this will give me pleasure/this will give me pain/I like this/I do not like that. You feel that you should only have pleasure. To suffer is not to live. To suffer is to bear punishment and you would rather not consider (consciously or subconsciously) that you have done things that have produced suffering. Thus, having Venus in the 3rd House, when suffering comes upon you, you become depressed or you want to run away and escape your pain. You wish to run toward those sensual pleasures that will assuage your pain. But, since your experience of what is attractive and what is distasteful is immediate and ever-present, you are usually either fearing and avoiding what is unpleasant or you are blinding yourself from the reality of your pain.

Focus op evaluatie

As an individual with Venus in the 3rd House, you tend to judge things immediately and based on first impressions. This means that you are likely to evaluate a thing or circumstance according to whatever how it presents itself to you on the surface. It may be difficult for you to look beyond what you immediately perceive and to take into consideration what has gone before or what may come or whatever is not evident. With Venus in the 3rd House, your natural mindset with respect to your immediate environment is one of perception and evaluation.  This can mean that the richness of your sensual experience is enhanced but it may also result in you being very judgmental and critical.
