Venus in Leo
Het Monster: Venus in Leo I love life! I love the whole world! I have volcanoes of fire! I love you passionately and joyfully — Love me back! This child wants to be at the center of any fun. He seeks excitement and drama in his life and thrives under attention and approval from others. He will be drawn to the most popular and fun group of friends because they are the center of attention. But he has enough common sense to maintain his dignity in this crowd. His innate sense of honor and purity means he won’t be so easily influenced by his friends that it could lead to unworthy behavior. You should teach him to look for good qualities in those children who are not in the spotlight. Whomever he chooses as friends, he will likely want to be the leader and earn their admiration and respect. You may need to gently teach this child the potential benefits of sometimes letting others have their way. Appeal to his natural warmth and generosity. Your child will be enthusiastic and even passionate in expressing affection. Return his strong hugs. The more love and approval he receives in childhood, the stronger his confidence will be. Encourage his creative interest in opportunities for theatrical self-expression. Dress-up games with heroes will bring him great joy. He may also enjoy attending a children’s theater or dance studio. Get a large roll of wrapping paper and watercolors, lay it out in the yard, and let him invite a few friends to create a large, bright composition.

This sign is hostile to Venus, and such a placement indicates some pride, passion, and indulgence. These are worldly, artistic people who love socializing and entertainment; they are “on friendly terms” with celebrities. They are romantic, inclined toward idealism, but also have a practical streak. Astrological texts mention an “attractive marriage partner, money coming through the opposite sex, and few children.”

Here she is a guest of the Moon, in a water sign, so Venus in Cancer gives inner changeability, meaning high sensitivity to the slightest fluctuations in a partner’s feelings. You likely show very subtle unconscious reactions to any change in your partner—the slightest cooling, you are a highly sensitive person, but usually hide it. If this is not somehow compensated by other people in your life, you probably conceal your vulnerability out of fear of “blackmail,” fear of giving someone else control over those “buttons for manipulation.” In this case, you hide your attitude toward what is very important to you. Venus in Cancer brings idealism, unconscious and complete identification with a partner, and sometimes a search for an ideal. Since here Venus is a guest of the Moon, and the Moon is a changeable, fluctuating, vulnerable planet, people with this cosmogram often have a high inner need for change and psychological renewal, a craving for change in the pursuit of an ideal, a constant need for deep understanding, love, and tenderness. Therefore, despite a high level of emotional, deep connection with a partner, surprisingly, it can be difficult for you to remain faithful to them for long. This happens because if a strong emotional connection forms with someone (of course, based on your high vulnerability), you tend to join it and go all the way. The very value of such a connection matters to you, even if you know it won’t last. That is, here you exhibit what is called complete emotional identification or the ability for empathy. You likely tolerate any, even slight, falsity poorly. After all, the likelihood of infidelity and deception increases sharply if you sense falsity. Moreover, you yourself may suffer greatly, developing neuroses on the soil of love problems. This is the so-called “heavy-type Don Juanism” with nervous disorders stemming from love issues. Although you are passionate about your feelings, you rarely take the initiative in establishing emotional relationships; it will likely come from the partner, and your feelings will probably arise as a reaction to their feelings. In general, for the water element signs—Cancer and Pisces (Scorpio somewhat stands apart, being a special type)—the rule is that Water demands investment; that is, to receive some return in feelings, you must “invest” something in these people. So, to attract you, your admirer usually needs to show some feelings toward you first. You tend to be drawn to the most sensitive and empathetic partners. You may often feel an attraction to older people; in general, you likely have a strong attachment to your parents, especially your mother, and to your hometown. You are undoubtedly drawn to places connected with your childhood. You probably communicate more readily with your parents than with others. To form a harmonious criterion for emotional development, you need a sense of security, and relationships with your parents, especially your mother, are of great importance. If (this is especially characteristic of men) difficulties arose in your relationship with your mother in childhood—if, say, your mother did not love you, and this often happens on an unconscious level—then these relationships are likely to be transferred onto other women. Then, in adulthood, you won’t have emotional contact with women, and your emotional sphere may be blocked in this case. You likely enjoy the same types of recreation you had in childhood, and this may be very important to you because it allows you to once again be in the role of a child. You probably relax well in places with a lot of clean water, as Cancers love water, though not the sea but fresh water. In such places, you can rest and relax well.
Het Monster. Planets in the Signs of the Zodiac
Noble nature. Early marriage; family life is happy. They behave a little theatrically. They love to be admired, including many artists. Talents for painting and sculpture. They are kind, gentle, and love children very much. Naturally romantic. Faithful to their chosen partner; they take pride in and boast about them but can be possessive and jealous if they do not receive proper attention. In bad aspects—vanity, snobbery, “sexual preoccupation.”
Catherine Aubier. Astrological Dictionary
Honor and dignity are essential requirements for love; love relationships should, if possible, rise above petty obstacles and external influences. Such a person is very generous but needs gratitude for their generosity. A very special emotional disposition. A very important trait: they cannot love for long what does not inspire them. And they can only love and admire a person who surprises them with their behavior, morals, appearance, and prosperity. The mere thought that their feelings might go unreciprocated can wound them deeply.In the higher octave, this Venus position characterizes great actors, writers, and artists, often with a publicistic nuance; its direct influence on society leads to spiritual development. Here, the true practically-inspiring power of art is realized: after attending a performance or reading a book, a person not only receives a powerful impulse to live and work differently, better than before, but also begins to sense the Divine presence where they previously had no suspicion of it. The constancy of the flow and influence captivates the public more than in Venusian Aries. In the average Leo, this Venus position grants refinement of manners and a tendency toward aesthetic trends—connoisseurs and admirers of art, art historians, and art philanthropists. In a harmonious variant, the person is always pleasant to look at: speaks beautifully, moves gracefully, in a word, knows how to present themselves (which may cause irritation, as this facade conceals passivity). If Venus is prominent, success with the opposite sex is guaranteed (except in a severely afflicted case, when success is also guaranteed but within a narrow circle of partners and short-lived).
In the afflicted variant, there is a tendency toward eccentric fashions and pretentiousness; with refinement, an original artist emerges who struggles to break through the backward perceptions of their society.

The ability to love strongly and enduringly, though feelings are somewhat ostentatious, with tendencies toward jealousy and mercenary love. Fond of all things beautiful, they judge art correctly, are bold, and occupy a high social standing. Extravagant, wasteful, inclined to laziness. Often dramatic talent; many artists, admirers of art, painting, and sculpture. Kind, cautious, gentle, fond of children. Often enter into early marriage. Family life promises to be happy. In love, you are warm-hearted and noble. You cannot tolerate pettiness and greed in a beloved. You need a hero in the truest sense—a prince or princess—someone you can worship and admire, someone to inspire your whole heart. Once you give your heart to someone, you remain faithful and devoted. You cannot imagine life without love, adoration, and attention. You hate being ignored. You love flattery, love feeling superior to those around you. You enjoy dramatic, vibrant romantic relationships. Grand romantic gestures and extravagant displays of generosity make a strong impression on you. Possible ailments: palpitations and spasms of the heart, fainting, pain in the nerve sections of the back.
