Guess I'm mostly just venting, but I am curious what others have experienced with their significant other's Venus(or Mars, as appropriate) sign. Do they fit the description? He's definitely a Leo Venus, straight up!

Now my Ascendant is in Leo, but it's also squared by Jupiter- I just have no interest in being gussied up every day! My Ascendant is expressed more as being warm and sunny (earthy, laid back, California girl here), not shiny and sparkly. He also whines to no end when my hair's up, and asks if I'd put it down for him. I've gotten kind of used to this, but it used to **** me off. Oh- and anytime I happen to be wearing a push-up bra, he'll unwittingly say something like "Wow, you look extra good today- have you been taking your vitamins or something?"

And in case I colored my guy in too bad a light, he is really sweet and generous and loyal. Also Leo traits!

I also have a Leo Asc, and am married to a Leo Sun/Venus guy.

Strangely, my husband has always nagged me about the opposite. He's always liked it better when I don't wear much makeup, if any.

He's also from California, lol.

For a long time, I wouldn't leave the house without makeup/fashion, and he would always say that he liked it better when I didn't have makeup on.

Now I hardly wear makeup or go too far out of my way for fashion, and he's much happier.

He does have other placements that would indicate a dislike for anything that's not fairly natural and earthy.

He claims I am the most attractive and beautiful woman he's ever seen. That should be a common this with a man's venus conjunct your ascendent in synastry. There must be more going on with you two. Pluto tries to change things and is intense. What's pluto doing between you two? I have a feeling his pluto is in your first house of appearance.

So his nagging about my looks is strangely more sweet and whiny, not straight up demanding or Plutonian (Cancer sun). It did used to offend me and drive me nuts, but as a Leo rising, I do kind of like the attention. My ex didn't give a crap about how I looked and it bothered me a lot more (though at times that was nice- like when I'm feeling totally lazy, which is often). Astrology aside, my Leo Venus guy is from the East Coast, which I think has a lot to do with his taste for what I would consider gaudy bouffantednes. He's also super complicated- you should see his chart- nary an area untouched!

So Violets, maybe it's just a California thing! hee hee

Mergoatsun- his Pluto is in my 2nd, which is a whole other can of worms. But strange you should mention Venus in 12th- my guy's Venus is also in my 12th. Maybe I'm repressing my bling?? His Venus isn't conjunct my Asc though, just in the same house- perhaps part of the problem?

Oh and my guy is definitely into big personality- most Californians drive him nuts because we're so laid back and non-confrontational. Any friends he's made here are totally nutso- a category I must fall into now that I put it like that :/

Some of this is so funny, ahahaha.

Even my Leo Asc/Aries Venus can appreciate the difference between East Coast and West Coast styles, lol.

As someone who has primarily lived in a major Pacific Northwest city for the majority of my adult life, I'm also horrified by a the "gaudy bouffantedness" that you speak of.

And my husband was not pleased with what is known as a certain "icy aloofness" in the Pacific Northwest, compared to California (let alone the fact that people generally don't wear flip-flops all year long there, haha).

The geographical distinctions are funny to me now, although they also used to irritate me.

I think I've just relaxed a lot about style, fashion, etc. over the years.
Maybe because my Sun has progressed into Aries, and my Asc has progressed into Virgo (but we seem to share a lot of the same placements, so I find that interesting).

But yes, I think the bling gets toned down the further West you go.

Or it at least morphs into something more relaxed.

My ex has an exact Moon/Venus conjunction in Leo as well as being a Leo Sun.

I have suffered from very harsh self-esteem issues/body dysmorphia my whole life. Soon after we got together, I began struggling with societies concepts of femininity hugely, and I essentially stopped wearing all make-up, stopped wearing bras, gave up on buying nice clothes, began cutting my hair shorter and shorter each time (until one of my close friends I hadn't seen in a while informed me I looked like a Beatle), and began doing more "manly" activities like chopping wood and long boarding.

My current boyfriend is a Taurus Venus. I read somewhere that Taurus Venus men love soft skin. He always comments on how soft my skin is. I'm wondering if this is because of his Venus

So interesting the ones of you who say that your Leo Venus men were opposite! I wonder how their Venuses are aspected that could have made the difference. Venus is HUGE in my guy’s chart. I often tease him that he’s the world’s largest most ruggedly handsome walking vagina (hope that’s not crass- it *is* the scientific term).

Deepsea- you sound like a badass! Maybe your guy’s Leo Venus liked the drama of all that??

Polka- Interesting! I guess Taurus is all about being tactile, so makes sense.

So any guys out there who have Leo Venus who want to chime in, or who’d like to tell us about their Venus in general? I promise we’ll be nice
