How Venus in Leo is read
Venus in Leo is traditionally read as expressing love openly and wanting to be treated as special. Romance is enjoyed like a story, with gifts and surprises. Pride is the soft spot; respect and admiration are how love is confirmed.
Dignity
Traditional astrology rates how comfortably each planet works in each sign (essential dignity). For Venus, Leo is no essential dignity (peregrine); aspects and house carry more of the reading.
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish)
Jyotish calls Leo Simha. Because it divides the zodiac by the stars (sidereal), a Western Venus at Leo 0° to about 24° is in Cancer (Karka) in Jyotish. Reading both systems side by side shows different sides of the same person.
