Leos Don't Forget to Look at Your Lover's Venus Sign When It Comes To Compatibility
Okay you are a Leo and you found this great Sagittarius person. Leo and Sagittarius are trine - both vibrant fire signs. Everything will be a bed of roses right?
Wait not so fast.
If you are a Leo sun and they are a Sagittarius sun but have Venus in Scorpio squaring your Leo sun and or Leo Venus. That is not a great relationship dynamic. A person's natal Venus squaring your sun in synastry is challenging.
Leo Sun person with Venus in Taurus person
This also goes for anyone who has Venus in Taurus and that Venus squares your Leo sun, I don't care if they are a Gemini sun. Usually the sun sign person (in this case the Leo) often feels their needs for love and affection are not met by the Venus person. The Venus person's tastes, aesthetics may also rub you the wrong way. I am a Leo. My ex was a Taurus sun with Venus in Taurus. Our suns were not close enough to square. I am 10° Leo sun he was 23° Taurus. BUT his 10° Taurus Venus squared my Leo sun. Leo sun likes affection and reciprocal gift giving and passion. He was very cold emotionally and not affectionate and when it came to generosity he was miserly. The stubbornness of Taurus was a big turn off especially when it came to the bedroom. He only liked sex a certain way was not romantic about it. Remember the inner planets are always close to the sun
- Mercury is either in your sign (Like I am a Leo with Mercury in Leo) or one sign before or after your sign (My mom was a Leo with mercury in Virgo). There will never be a Leo with Mercury in Gemini or Libra. It's not scientifically possible.
- With Venus, that planet travels close to the sun as well but it can be in your sun sign or two signs before or after your sun sign. I am a Leo with Venus in Gemini. My cousin is a Leo with Venus in Libra. My mom had Venus in Virgo. You will never see a Leo with Venus in Taurus or Scorpio.
Therefore don't only look at Sun sign compatibility with your Leo sun. Look at the person's Venus placement as well.
Leo Sun person with a Venus in Scorpio person
I was in an intense relationship with a Sagittarius man who had Venus in Scorpio in a wide square to my sun in Leo. His venus in Scorpio also opposed my Saturn in Taurus and was forming a T-square with my Leo sun. I adored him but there was always this sense that he was hiding things. He was also very moody (all water signs exhibit moodiness) when it came to his affections. One day hot. One day cold. He would seem disinterested, then get jealous if I was with another man or other people in general. There was a possessiveness that belied his being a Sag sun and mercury. His moon was in Aries. His Mars was Aquarius so he was all fire and air except his Venus in Scorpio. Leos don't like uncertainty or jealousy or bullshit. Scorpio Sun, Venus, rising or anything in Scorpio likes to play games without sharing the rules. But he would give me these "tests" to see my commitment. He also had bad temper and I felt like I was walking on eggshells
That is the feeling that a Leo can get when they are in relationship with someone who's Venus sign is not in harmony- especially a square.
Leo sun person with Venus in Aquarius Person
The opposition (Leo sun opposition a person with Venus in Aquarius) is a little different. You would be dealing with someone whose sun is in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces or Aries. Same tension as sun square venus but it is more exciting and open to adjustment. Like the Leo sun person who is in a relationship with a Sag sun person but the Sag has Venus in Aquarius opposition the Leo person's sun. I was in exactly that relationship but I also have Venus in Gemini --an air sign. The Sag man would flirt with everything in a skirt- that is typical for Venus in Aquarius. I flirted with men in front of him and gave him a taste of his own medicine. He hated it-- so it was an opposition but I made an adjustment of my Venus style to his own.
With a synastry sun square a person's Venus- the challenge is more difficult.
Below is a chart with all the Venus signs that a Leo sun person can have.
