Alan Leo (William Frederick Allan)
1899
"VENUS IN LEO. ♀ in ♌. (House of the Sun.) Kind-hearted; the affections and sympathies are easily moved, while the love is ardent and constant, and very set on its object. Marriage is likely to be a love match, and the attraction "love at first sight." The native is popular and is fond of society, company, friends, show, gaiety, pleasures and amusements of all sorts; it is difficult for him to live alone, or a retired life; he must mix with the world and enjoy the company of others. He will attract the attention of his superiors or those in higher ranks of life, and benefit through them, socially and pecuniarily. The position may exist with considerable talent or genius for something signified by Venus—poetry, painting, music, the drama, etc. The native gains money, either by speculation, or some occupation connected with the young. Marriage and the birth and prosperity of children are indicated"
