What it values
Venus describes what you value, what you find beautiful and what draws you to people. In Leo, a fire sign ruled by the Sun, you value warmth, loyalty and a bit of glamour. You love things that shine: gold jewellery, a good haircut, a candlelit table, a show worth dressing up for. Beauty, for you, should be enjoyed out loud rather than kept for best.
You are attracted to confident, warm people who light up when they see you, and who have something they are proud of. Playfulness matters. You like a partner who will sing badly in the car or plan a surprise. You tend to choose things that feel special rather than practical, and you would rather have one memorable night than many forgettable ones.
In love
You flirt with compliments, attention and a little theatre, and you are not shy about making your interest known. Once you love someone, you are proud of them in public and loyal in private. What makes you feel loved is admiration that is spoken: being told you look good, being introduced with pride, and having birthdays and anniversaries treated as events rather than errands.
At work
At work your taste gives you presence. You present ideas with flair and notice when a design, a pitch or an event lacks warmth. With money you can be generous to the point of overspending, especially on gifts, nights out and things that make you feel good. You collaborate best when your contribution is credited, and you lift a team by celebrating other people's wins too.
The hard side
The hard side is pride. When you feel unappreciated you may sulk, withdraw affection or start performing happiness for others while the person you love gets the cold shoulder. A small fix: say what you want before you feel the lack, even if it feels unromantic, such as asking your partner to plan the next date.
The usual myth
Venus in Leo is often called vain or demanding
The more accurate view is that you give love the way you want to receive it: openly, warmly and with real effort. You are not asking for constant praise, only proof that you are not taken for granted. Given that, you are one of the most loyal partners there is.
