Leo Venus in the First House in Love
When you have Venus in Leo in the first house, love is an integral part of your life. It is almost as if your perception of life is colored by love, fun, and exaggerated displays of affection.
Throughout your life, you could develop a fondness for the performing arts and cosmetics.
There’s a deep drive to establish your performative and artistic skills and display them to inspire lust, goodwill, sisterhood, union, and prosperity.
When folks first meet you, they may often say that you have a regalness to you and a natural beauty.
The way you move demands attention, and they are delighted to witness what you’ll do next.
Something about your aura is magnetic and entertaining, and they just want to be close or associated with you in any way possible.
This is definitely the case since Venus is an attractive planet and Leo is a magnetic sign.
You prefer a partner who is demonstrative of their love for you and is not afraid to offer you gifts.
Actually, receiving and giving gifts could be one of your top love languages.
It would be ideal if your partner were a “leader” type of personality and wouldn’t be intimidated by you to take the lead in wooing you and gaining your love and trust.
Leo Venus in the First House Sense of Self-Worth
The gift that is present with Leo Venus in the first house is that you can develop your sense of self-worth through your creative abilities & expression.
Spending time with folks who have a similar interest in the creative arts can also support you in broadening your reach and gaining money for your endeavors.
Plus, you’ll feel like a part of something greater and that you belong to something beautiful and good.
To ignore your need to create and have fun is to welcome the shadow expression of Leo Venus in the first, which can cloud your perception of life.
The Shadow of Venus in Leo in the First House
You can tell when the Shadow of Leo Venus in the first house is pronounced because you will feel jealous of other people’s creations & artistic abilities, and expression.
You’ll also feel an inability to express yourself freely and be seen for who you are and how you want to connect with others.
This can come about due to being shamed for your creative expression at a young age and being told you were too much.
Perhaps you were also told throughout your life that you were too affectionate, too trusting, and too loud.
If this is the case, I want you to be aware that this is a projection.
Other people ended up projecting onto you, and you accidentally internalized it.
However, this dynamic doesn’t have to continue. You can return to center and become self-aware.
How Venus in Leo in the First House Finds their Center Again
How you can return to your center (peace and pleasure) is by remembering that you are a creative person, and that is a beautiful gift.
You could freely share this gift with others who appreciate you or simply do it for yourself.
Either way, with you engaging with your craft, you end up building a purifying fire within you that cleanses you from all others’ projections that you internalized.
You return to innocence, joy, and presence. If you are not sure what kind of creative project to start, think about your favorite thing to do as a child, and that will lead you to a sure path of joy and fulfillment.
