Venus · Fixed fire sign

Venus in Leo

Venus in Leo is where Venus sat in the zodiac at the moment of birth, the part of a chart read for how you love and what you find beautiful. Venus stays in a sign for three to five weeks, up to four months around a retrograde. Leo is a fixed fire sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 476 have Venus in Leo for the whole of their birth date. Michael Jackson, George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Virgo (151), Cancer (112) and Leo (105). 46 more were born on a day Venus moved into or out of Leo and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Venus in Leo means

Read for how you love and what you find beautiful. If this is your placement:

You love generously and openly, and you value being someone's clear favourite above almost anything else they could offer you. The tension is needing steady reassurance that you are still adored. Your gestures are grand and thoughtful, and it stings when they go unnoticed.

One placement is one part of a chart; the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign and the planets around them change how it plays out. Draw your whole chart to see the rest.

Positions are computed from each person’s birth date and place with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth data comes from Wikidata; a placement is listed only when it holds for the whole birth date, and a rising sign only with a birth time Astro-Databank records. Readings describe tendencies, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Every planet in every sign.
