Leo Venus, Taurus Mars: Beautiful

It is much easier for you to play the part of what someone wants than for you to know what you want.

Leo Venus, Cancer Mars: Tortured

Your bed is not just a bed but also a stage in which great love dramas have been enacted. You don’t need to leave your house for you to get involved in a great love affair. In fact, you prefer that your partners and friends come to your house where you are comfortable being you. You associate a bit of pain with pleasure and, when you were younger, may not have been impressed with the depth of love unless it hurt at least a little. This may have led to instances where you stirred by stable dynamics in order to test someone else’s emotions for you.

Leo Venus, Leo Mars: Gravitational

When you like someone, you seek to impress them with your power.

Your sense of humor can be campy and over the top. People might laugh because they want the experience of laughing with you because they find you gravitational rather than due to the humor of any joke.

You believe that great people are created through pain and can be similarly hard on yourself.

You have the ability to make passion seem cool. Passions, whether that passion is a horror fetish or a video game addiction, are not always cool because they can be revealing and embarrassing.

Leo Venus, Capricorn Mars: Straightforward

You are strong. For you to appreciate your strength, you must address your feelings around visibility and acknowledge the things that you want to be seen for.

You are attractive when you are bold.

You are able to appreciate beauty in monstrosity and create magic from banality.

Leo Venus, Pisces Mars: Grand

You are excellent at distracting people and may not see the point of an overly didactic lifestyle without playful distractions.

You are able to become a completely different person for almost anyone who you meet without sacrificing a certain sincere affect. Your challenge is to make your relationships both realistic and something that you are ready to commit to for your own needs since you can easily idealize people and live for those you put on pedestals.
