Venus in Leo, Mars in Cancer
Your Venus is in a Fire sign and your Mars is in a Water sign.
Venus in Fire, Mars in Water (Romantic Fire, Watery Desires): You’re a little hard to figure out. On the one hand, you can be quite blunt when it comes to self-expression in love. On the other, you can be sensitive and impressionable. In bed, you require a warm, sentimental, and sensuous partner or else you feel a little insecure, yet your romantic manner is spontaneous and direct. Confusing? Absolutely! But you are also very intriguing—a beguiling mix of independence and neediness.
Your ideal partner recognizes that love and attraction keep you feeling alive and vital, so a relationship that has lost its spark will cause you to lose yours. Your romantic nature is moody, volatile, and dramatic at times! You may be flirtatious, yet you also maintain a certain level of caution and reserve. One day, you give of yourself fully, and the next day you are independent and seemingly not needy.
You are a study in contradictions on a romantic level—you are both vulnerable and outspoken, for example. While you are sensitive, you can also “say it like it is” and upset a sensitive partner. You are uninterested in superficial relationships. You require a certain amount of depth, yet you are not always willing to open up.
Although you are very romantic, you are also prone to fighting your emotions in an attempt to keep love at bay. This never completely works, however! Your passions are strong and sometimes extreme.
Your lover is bound to find you a real challenge, simply because they don’t know what to expect. What your partner CAN be sure of, however, is that you are passionate and never boring!
Venus and Mars in side-by-side signs:
The things that please you romantically and the things that please you sexually are quite different. What makes you feel loved and desired does not necessarily satisfy you on the level of desire and instinct, and vice versa. One partner could have a hard time attempting to fill your needs. As a result, you could be quite a handful; or, you may find ways to separate your romantic and sexual needs and thus satisfy them individually.
