How to deal with Venus in Leo? Pet them nicely, make them purr, and PRAISE them goddamnit. Especially if they're Virgos. They already know or over-imagine all their faults already and don't need you poking them with constructive criticism or advice. Tell them what you love about them, share amazing food with them, wear red or something shimmery or similiarly eye-catching and distinctive, and laugh heartily and good naturedly and tell them how cute they are when they try to boss you around. :)

Really? Hm. I tend to attract just the opposite, and a crap load of Venus in Aquarius people. Venus in Leo? Someone said compliments...I suppose. I know one, and she's really hard on herself...she's like a triple Leo with Aquarius moon. I try to get her to stop that behavior by complimenting her, but it doesn't really work...I'm pretty sure she can see through it. Does your new partner have that aspect?

Oh I know...the Saturn activity is mildly scary. It's gonna run over my Venus (which it's already conjunct), my Mercury, and my Sun...slightly unnerving. I think I need the energy though...I've been slacking so much lately. I'm hoping it'll make me work my butt off to get what I want, rather than sitting back and hoping it'll happen (which is what I've been doing lately). All of the Saturn activity is happening in my 7th, though (where my Sun/Mercury/Venus are) so it'll be interesting to see how that plays itself out...where is it happening in your chart for you?
