T O P I C R E V I E Wdoommlordhave this placement XDenjoy everybodymoon in leoStaticIf you subconsciously seek to confirm your worth by superiority, you may expectothers to come to you, like the king waiting to receive his audience. You may use thepretence of objectivity to ensure that others will admire you on your pedestal. If youunconsciously select associates on the basis of their ability to increase the Leomaterial status, you can experience the discomfort of relating without inner affinity.Thus, in needing others as tools to further your own values and goals, you close thedoor to receiving rewards that are beyond your expectations or defined objectives.Needing to be entertained, you can go on 'automatic' and unconsciously use yourcharm to increase your material position. This is borne of an inner attitude of 'whatcan you do for me?' and costs you your self-confidence in expressing trulyspontaneous feelings. You may hoard resources, begrudgingly sharing them withthose who are close. Concealing assets causes you to lose status in their eyes, and,consequently, in your own. Confidence in others is eroded when you seek to takeadvantage to enhance your material position and feel superior in comparison.DynamicYou can create the self-worth you need as you notice that old methods for achievingadmiration from others do not result in success. The values projected may not bewhat others want or need. You must first relinquish the position of director,producer, and main character in your life drama. This enables you to get in touchwith the audience and find out which of your many talents and resources areappropriate to the situation.When you approach relationships thinking, 'It's not what you can do for me, it's whatI can do for you', you experience an unshakable sense of your own worth. When youopen yourself to the desires and needs of others, you gain insight into the role youcan play. By inspiring others, you not only are entertained, but also gain a sense ofself-worth in the process.Choosing to focus on others' needs frees you to express the flamboyant, generous Leonature in a way that supports the worth of others. In the process, your worth isvalidated. As a by-product of contributing your talents to uplift others, you findenjoyment and happiness. The loyalty and love of your family are earned when yousupport their values and needs in establishing their worth. Stepping out of yourdrama and realizing how much fun you're having in your dramatics lightens yourwhole outlook on life.GeneralYou have a need for recognition, approval, and praise. You take naturally to applause;and insecurity results when you feel ignored or not treated as someone special.This insecurity can result in feeling that you must perform according to otherpeople's standards and to further other people's goals in order to gain applause. Youcan be almost childlike in your need for approval, totally dependent on being withpeople who will flatter you and pamper your ego. Your need for constant reassurancecan tax the energies of those who love you, and rob you of your freedom and selfconfidence.During your life, you are learning to dedicate yourself to more universal causes thatallow you to do your part in furthering the evolution of the race. When you focus onthe larger drama and allow yourself to be a vehicle for an energy that furthers thegoals of humankind, your powerful ego assums a lovely balanced role. Seeingyourself as a channel for helping your brothers and sisters allows you to accept yourchildlike qualities and be more tolerant of your mistakes because you know yourmotive was of the highest.Regarding those you are close to as friends, rather than subjects or your privateaudience, allows you to support their special life force, which will naturally result intheir freely acknowledging you.Clarity about the ideals of humanity that you support allows you to offer approval andvital support to others without expectations of loyalty. This opens the gateway to aflood of unexpected appreciation of your generosity of spirit when you least expect it.(Tracy Marks)Those of us with Leo Moons particularly need to feel loved and appreciated, to betreated specially, to play, and to express ourselves spontaneously and creatively. Weneed warmth and devotion, and are able to give abundantly from our hearts as longas we are also being fed with love. Otherwise, our lunar nature may become distortedand compulsive in its insistence upon attention and / or power. Negatively, we maybe unable to relinquish centre stage, may overdramatize in order to impact others, ormay become dominating or bossy in our attempts to maintain command overourselves and others.A Leo Moon suggests that we had loving parental figures who prized us highly,became enthusiastically involved in our activities and triumphs, and were capable ofencouraging and sharing our playful spirit. However, an afflicted Moon may indicateparents who either overindulged or deprived us. At one extreme are the mothers whospoiled us with too much attention and too many special treats, preparing us to liveour adult lives only as princes or princesses. At the other extreme are the narcissisticparents, the tyrant queens or kings who sought only that we become obedientsubjects, or who overly identified with us, urging us to live their dreams andadamantly discouraging our individuality.As a result of our childhood upbringing, we may have internalized messages whichsupport attention-seeking, childish, demanding and / or dominating behaviorpatterns. We may act as if we deserve to be the centre of everyone's universe and notjust our own. We may, because of past unmet needs, become compulsive in our desireto prove our value and gain acclaim.A Leo Moon has much to give provided it is able to bask in the sunlight of warmthand affection. Those of us who have Leo Moons may need to feed ourselvesemotionally rather than always expect others to provide for us. We need at times togive ourselves our full attention and appreciation, to be our own audience, and toencourage and delight in the spontaneity and zest of our inner child. If we are toexperience emotional satisfaction, we need to keep our hearts open to pain as well asjoy, and to become capable of loving others not only because they love us in turn, butalso because we truly love ourselves.(Sydney Omarr)The Moon in Leo makes the native want to give the impression of nobility. In hisdesiring to present such a picture, his very actions and thoughts often do becomenoble. This native has drive and ambition; he wants to better himself. Security initself does not satisfy him. Ambition is a key word here. Like the Moon in Taurus, heloves luxury. But there is more 'fire' to his make-up - he is dashing, and popular withthe opposite sex, and tends toward extravagant gestures. He is prone to 'emotionalhangovers'.The Moon in Leo tends to sit in an 'ivory tower'. He tells himself that he is merely aninterested spectator. But very often he becomes more involved in situations than theactual participants.The astrologer must know that the native has an inner feeling of strength. He doesn'tcall on it because he feels it is there whenever he needs it. This could create the kindof situation which is hopeless - something like this: the writer who begins to hang outin 'dives'. He tells himself he is there to gather material. But soon he is one of thelocal characters - providing instead of gathering stories. The Moon in Leo requiresdiscipline; otherwise, he slips into the easiest path, never really living up to hispotential. The tendency here is toward 'snobbery'. The rules are fine, he is apt to feel,but they don't necessarily apply to him. He will associate with anyone but keep a partof himself to himself. On the positive side, he holds something in reserve. On thenegative side, he thinkgs he is holding something in reserve. A fine point, but it couldcreate disillusion, dissipation and unhappiness.Generally, the native is honorable, and generous with time and money. He needs tofeel he is special. In dealing with members of the opposite sex, he seeks one whofinds him charming, irresistible. He shows appreciation of and ability in artistic,creative fields, including music, painting, poetry. He loves to explain, display andcriticize the arts. He is never satisfied with burying his 'light' in a bushel.(Haydn Paul)There is a strong sense of individuality within this position, often indicating a moreself-contained emotional nature, which nevertheless is attracted toward theemotional gratification of the spotlight of approval and applause. Attention is anemotional fuel, and you may display childish petulance if this need is denied, perhapsthrough emotional displays whenever your demands for attention are ignored byfamily, friends, or colleagues. Your ego and vanity are easily wounded, especiallythrough sensitivity to criticism; and you become moody and brood in response tonegative comments.Compulsive needs exist for success and public attention, which may have roots withinchildhood and your relationship with parents. You need to be self-assertive, althoughto some you may appear too confident, too self-assured or forceful. This is anexpression of inner strength, and you are often guided by this feeling of integrity,responsibility, and sense of purposeful direction. Leo as a fixed sign implies an abilityto concentrate your will once a direction is determined. You can be single-minded,bending only when absolutely necessary, instead of being intrinsically flexible.You want close, loving, and intimate relationships; you need to love and to be loved.In a loving relationship, there is the opportunity to express and receive admirationand appreciation. Your emotional self-determination, linked with personal magneticcharm, can make you attractive to others, especially to those looking for a strongerpartner, or to others equally independent in nature. Your stubbornness may causefriction and conflict when wills clash, particularly if you try to dominate a partner orfamily member; and at times like this, your emotional immaturity is often revealed.Once hte moment has passed and tempers have cooled down, you can objectively seethe overreaction or emotional button that has been pressed, and resolve that 'nexttime, I won't rise to that bait again'. Time will tell.If the Moon nature has been denied, signs of compulsive activity may occur,especially tendencies of self-adulation, hogging the center stage, ego-inflation, andattempts to dominate any who are unable to resist; the 'superiority complex' is onewhich is often seen in social / employment hierarchies. This is when insecurity hidesbeneath the surface, and self-esteem needs to be derived from positions of status orfrom the attention of others. There can be a susceptibility to flattery and a need forsocial approbation.Your potential is to develop a constructive, optimistic approach to life's experiencesand to fulfill personality needs. You may have to create or discover appropriate waysto satisfy your needs, rather than relying on others. Your nature requires acceptance,so that you can appreciate, value, and explot innate talents and qualities. Payattention to satisfying emotional needs and feelings; succeeding in this will reduceyour compensatory need to play center stage and make you less vulnerable toaudience reaction.(Skye Alexander)Self-confident, cheerful and optimistic, your outlook on life (at least your own life) isgenerally sunny; and not much dampens your spirits for long. You always assume thatthings will work out for the best, and usually they do. You have a knack for attractinginto your life people and circumstances that will benefit you. You are a naturalleader, and others follow you because you project an aura of knowing what you aredoing.For you, love certainly makes the world go 'round; and in relationships, you areromantic, affectionate, generous and enthusiastic. You love the idea of being in love.Being the centre of a lover's attention feeds your sizeable ego, and you like nothingbetter. Flattery will win ou over every time, and you are rather naive when it comesto affairs of the heart. A wily partner could separate you from everything you own,simply by doting on you and keeping you entertained.Self-centred and rather vain, you believe everyone is as fond of you as you are ofyourself. You probably flirt with everyone you meet, but it's because you thrive onconstant attention, not because you are inherently fickle. Once committed to arelationship, you are generally a loyal and devoted partner. You desperately need tobe loved and approved of; and nothing hurts you more than being unappreciated -unless it's being humiliated in public. The one offence you can't forgive is someonestepping on your pride.You have an innate sense of the dramatic, and always do things with a flair. A naturalshowman, you can be quite entertaining and are often the life of the party. Perhapsyou dress in an exotic, flamboyant manner, or in the height of style. Perhaps you area talented actor or entertainer, always ready to perform for an audience. However,you need to be careful of being loud or showy simply to get attention.Your natural abilities probably include some sort of artistic talent, and you are quitecreative. In addition, your self-confidence allows you to keep on believing in yourself,regardless of what others think - a necessity in fields like art or the theatre.It is quite likely that you use your creativity to make your home a showplace. Youmay have a gift for interior design, and are good with color, though your taste isnever subtle and can tend toward garishness. Your home is your castle, and you wantto live like a king / queen. As a result, you are inclined to overextend yourselffinancially to impress others with your house and lifestyle. You enjoy entertaining athome, and are a generous and gracious host / hostess.When you were young, your mother (or nurturing parent) probably showered youwith attention and reinforced your efforts so that you grew up believing you could doanything. If you displayed talent early, she / he may have enrolled you in acting ordance classes, or arranged for you to take art lessons. Though you were a bit spoiled,you were nonetheless a loving and good-natured child and perhaps the familyfavorite. You learned quickly that you could get almost anything you wanted withoutmuch effort. As an adult, you expect things to continue being easy and can be quitelazy.You adore children, and especially playing with them and entertaining them withyour antics and theatrics. A loving, devoted and affectionate parent, you are inclinedto spoil your children. However, they never doubt that you love them, and you aren'tthe type to put a business trip ahead of your son or daughter's Little League game.The one thing you demand, however, is respect; and you won't tolerateinsubordination or disobedience. Consequently, you might earn yourself a reputationin the family as a benevolent dictator.Women with this Moon position are usually affecionate, strong-willed, self-centredand excessively concerned with their appearances. Men sometimes project this sideof themselves onto the women in their lives, and may be attracted to women who aredramatic, creative, vivacious, glamorous, even a bit gaudy.(Marion D. March and Joan McEvers)Self-sufficient and self-reliant, you will leave things alone unless you are personallyconcerned. Once you have decided to act, you are resentful of interference andcriticism. You are emotionally attached to anything that belongs to you or reflects onyour ego personally.Your sense impressions are well-developed, and you are able to make quick, accurateevaluations of other people and their motives. You have a fiery temperament, and youcan quickly cut other people down to size.Self-centred and somewhat pompous, you may lack objectivity and have a blind spotin your emotional perspective. For you to truly enjoy any relationship, your heartmust be involved.You usually lack curiosity; but when you are motivated, you learn quickly andaccurately, although all your learning is colored by your feelings. Leo lends a nobilityto the emotions, but this placement also makes it difficult to back down or tocompromise. You are hard to convince; but when you do open your mind and heart,you learn the quickest of all.You have a need to be admired and applauded. Despite your basic loyalty, if you feelunappreciated you will seek appreciation and satisfaction elsewhere.People with the Moon in Leo are sexually magnetic and charming, but may also beoverbearing and arrogant. In a man's chart, it makes him romantic, fun and sexy, orhe may tend to conceit, arrogance and an overbearing ego. Both men and womenwith this placement are attractive and attracted to the opposite sex. The man willseek a woman with flair, enthusiasm and good taste.The Moon in Leo brings positions of authority and leadership, which you acceptseriously and easily. You are ambitious and status-conscious; you want prominenceand acclaim. Your straightforward honesty is apparent, and your organizing ability isprominent, but take care that it doesn't become bossiness.You love music, the arts, luxury and children; and you usually have a sunny and selfconfident disposition. Your emotions are powerful, your affection is given generously,and you usually favor sophisticated pleasures.You see your mother as a strong personality who dominated you in your youth. Shetried to give you good moral and religious values.The sign of Leo is masculine, positive, fiery and fixed, while the Moon, through itsassociations with the sign of Cancer, is feminine, negative, watery and cardinal. Atfirst sight it doesn't look as if the moon would be very comfortable in Leo, but inmany ways it is.The power of the Sun seems to dominate the Moon, permeating the deepest layers ofthe personality with Leonine characteristics which then bubble their way up to thesurface. If you have this Moon placement you are basically kind, generous andhonorable, with an instinctive need to encourage others. There is a real touch of Leonobility deep down inside you. Being naturally dignified, honest and trustworthy, youwould find it hard to behave in a callous or crafty manner, and you are far too proudto scrounge off others. Your need to appear honest and honourable may not reflectreality; but if you are caught out in a cowardly or underhanded act or if it becomesobvious that you harbour jealous feelings, you can react in an angry and aggressivemanner. You can get on your high horse if your dignity is pricked.The fixity of the sign gives you the determination to see things through and to finisheverything you start. It is possible that you may dig your heels in too much and try tolay the law down to others. You could be stubborn and unbending at times.You sometimes appear to behave in a distant and superior manner; this is your shieldfor those times when you are in unfamiliar situations. When hurt, you retreat intosomething which you see as dignified silence and others see as the sulks; however,under normal circumstances you are cheerful, friendly and open. You occasionallyhave doubts about your own self-worth; also occasional feelings of intensesuperiority. The emotions are always held under control when the Moon is in a fixedsign, and therefore they may break out strongly from time to time. You could becomequite aggressive if pushed, or if you are on the receiving end of aggression fromothers. If hurt enough, you would become jealous, full of hate, and revengeful.Lunar Leos can be surprisingly self-sacrificing towards loved ones, but heaven helpthem if the loved ones don't appreciate the sacrifices. You place the objects of yourlove on a pedestal and feel hurt when you discover that they are only human. Yourintense feelings give you a longing for excitement, drama, romance and passion; witha bit of luck, you will find this within a steady relationship; if not, then you will lookfor romance, passion etc. outside marriage. You may even create tension within arelationship to keep it alive. For the same reason, you must have an exciting career;you can put up with an insecure one but not a boring one. Too much contentmentbores you.Your mind is broad, and you are unlikely to follow any of the more fanatical religiousor political beliefs. You may have a religious and philosophical outlook which isdifferent from that of your parents; but this should not be a big problem in your life.Although not in any way bigoted, you may find it hard to change your mind once it ismade up, and you can have rather entrenched views.The Moon is associated with the home; therefore, yours will be attractive with aninteresting sort of décor. You are very fussy about your own appearance, and mayeven be vain. (Men with this Moon placement are actually worse than women.) Theone thing which is the bane of your life is your hair. You may consider this to be toothick, thin, wiry, curly, or, even if male, too bald! You may be vain about your bodyand even your sexual performance. One lady who is married to a very nice Moon inLeo guy tells me that he doles out sex as if it were a treat! As a lover, you could, likeSun in Leo, be bossy and demanding, but also comfortable, relaxed and kind. It wouldbe most unusual to find an out-and-out pervert with this Moon placement. Beingromantic, you enjoy dining out, giving and receiving presents, and rememberingbirthdays. You are fussy about your choice of partner; nothing less than the best willdo for you. You have a strong sex drive, but couldn't cope for long with a relationshipbased on sex alone. You need romance and passion, and you need above all to beloved. Even so, you would find it difficult to live without the comfort and release ofsex; life without love, in all its applications, would be too cold to contemplate. Youdon't mind taking the lead sexually, and can encourage a partner who is lessexperienced than you. Your senses are strong; therefore, everything about sexappeals to you as long as you can perform with a certain amount of decorum. Theback seat of a car in a rainy car park is just not for you (except maybe a RollsRoyce!).You may feel a need to attach yourself to some source of power. You may work withpowerful and successful people, or with large and powerful animals; alternatively,you might be fascinated by the power of magic and the spiritual world. This wouldenable you to enjoy risk-taking at second hand, which is a lunar trait. Your courage,fire and enthusiasm could lead you to learn from the powerful people around you andput their lessons into action for yourself, which is, of course, a solar trait.You will do anything for those whom you love, but you need your generosity of spiritto be appreciated. Leo being a fixed sign, you resist change, and would find it hard toadmit defeat in any situation; therefore, you would find it difficult to cut your lossesand start again. You can put up with the wrong job for far too long, and also hang onto a rotten relationship long after the time has come to end it. You are possibly a littletoo good at maintaining the status quo, especially in emotional situations. You may beself-centred emotionally, and possibly inclined to hang on to those you love - thisapplies to your children as well. Laura, a gentle and skilled palmist now in her midforties, recently left her paranoid and violent husband after many years of abuse; butstill feels that she is unable to make the final break and divorce him. 'It's too final',she says.Unless there are very different characteristics in your Sun and Ascendant, you aresociable and enjoy being entertained; but, being much shyer than the solar Leo typeof personality, you can only entertain others in a quiet way. Sports and the companyof young people appeal to you. You might become involved in some organization likethe Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, the Territorial Army or the Red Cross. There is not needfor you to be the centre of attraction in the world outside, but you do like to be in thecentre of things within your own home. If you did find yourself in the spotlight, youcould cope with it, but you don't seek it consciously in the way that Sun in Leo would.You like to know where the various members of your family are, and to make surethat they are all right; you have an inner need to organize them and keep them on theright lines.Your inner nature, unless you are feeling hurt, is playful, sunny and friendly, whichmakes you popular in a quiet kind of way. You appreciate beauty, creativity and art,and have an instinctive sense of style. You are proud of your loved ones, and even ofyour friends. You prefer not to be surrounded by dirty, down-at-heel types. You neverforget a hurt, but your strong loyalty means that you remember those who havehelped you too. You need to belong somewhere, and may be attached to oneparticular set of bricks and mortar, or to an area of the country with which you feel aparticular affinity. Needing space, you hate cramped surroundings. You love to getaway into the countryside and to take your holidays in a warm and pleasant place.You need holidays and breaks because you tend to put a lot of effort into your job andinto life itself. Your vitality is never drained for long, as you have inner reserves ofstrength.You make an excellent parent, often treating your children as young adults andalways preserving their dignity. You don't seek to hang on to them when they growup. You are able to teach and encourage them through play, but you may not be toopatient with them at times. You can be relied on to give them a cuddle whenever theyare down-hearted or ill.Both solar and lunar Leo subjects learn more easily after leaving school than before.You may take a quite demanding course when already busy with a career, home andfamily; this may be in order to get yourself a better job or just to fulfil yoruself. Youlack confidence in your abilities; therfore, any achievement that you make will helpyou to go on to further successes. Even if you do not have much formal education,you understand people and learn well from life. You have an inner need to be in anexecutive position; and if your circumstances mitigate against this, you could be selfemployed, the king of your own field, although you might need someone else aroundto help you cope with the details.You make a good employer, with an understanding of the need to preserve the dignityof others.You are career-minded; and with your good concentration and good organizationalskills, you can climb the career ladder in a steady manner. You need to gain areputation in some kind of creative field, and may strive hard to perfect somethingwhich will bring you a quiet kind of renown. Your ability to make the right impressioncould lead you to fields of marketing, personnel work, the display of works of art, orantiques. The biggest problem is that you could have big dreams but may be too lazyto make them come true. You want to come out on top of your field, but are strangelyuncompetitive, being too self-centred to worry about others. Your own high standardswould give you enough to compete against. You are very good at calming peopledown and dealing with touchy situations; therefore, some kind of social work withtroubled people, especially troubled youngsters, might appeal. Your attraction toglamour might interest you in some form of showbusiness. There is a creative side toyou which means that you would take to dancing, singing or artistic work of somekind. Being drawn towards children and young people, you could be a teacher(especially if there is Gemini, Aquarius or Sagittarius on your chart). You mightprefer to be a nursery nurse or probation officer. Your love of the good things in lifecould make you a good restaurateur or hotelier, but you might be best employed outin the front. you would be all right behind the scenes organizing others, but under nocircumstances would you want to be the one to do the cleaning and cooking.You are competent and capable as long as you are allowed to work at your own pace,but you detest being hussled and put under pressure.The chances are that your father was autocratic, authoritarian, or just unable torelate to children. You probably got on much better with your mother. You yourselfmight be too ready to push your own children, but this may reflect back onegeneration, meaning that you were pushed by your parents and that they expectedmore from you than you were able to produce at that time. The background may havebeen traditional, even religious in some way, involving rituals and certain kinds ofbehavour. At the worst end of this spectrum, you may have been afraid of your father,or made to feel that you couldn't live up to some impossible image of perfection. Hemay have been a very successful man himself, or he may have achieved a great dealwhile he was still young. Lunar Leos are far more likely to succeed later in life. Youneed parental love, encouragement and appreciation; and if you get this from at leastone parent plus brothers and sisters, fine - if not, you could become something of anemotional cripple. The last thing you need is a cool, intellectual air sign for a parent.You need to keep your intake of food and drink down, and to take exercise and lead amoderate life, because your heart may be weak. There could be spinal trouble; this isparticularly prone to occur when you are unhappy or worried.(Julia and Derek Parker)The immediate instinct of those with the Moon in Leo is to take over. While there isan active and happy enthusiasm, and a need to express emotions in a positive way, itis all too easy for people with this placing to appear bossy, dogmatic and stubborn.But at best they can be an excellent source of inspiration to others, with the ability toget the most out of them - pack leaders who enjoy the role!Their belief that they can do anything as well as or better than anyone else is a mixedblessing. While they will inevitably find plenty of outlets for all their potential(indicated by the characteristics of the Sun sign), and will achieve their aspirations(indicated by the Midheaven), they can tend to overstep the mark and becomesomewhat overwhelming.If shyness or a lack of self-assurance is shown in other areas of the chart, there willbe a conflict which will result in the subbject covering up the inhibited areas byshowing off, perhaps even feigning extroversion and confidence in a way that can beembarrassing for loved ones. If you are working on the chart of a child with thisplacing, it will be necessary to encourage the parents to steady the youngster'snatural exuberance, which at its best is lovely but can become bombastic.There is a special need to make the right impression, especially when these peopleare young, and as a result a great many of them will learn the hard way. In spite ofthis, there is determination and a sense of immediacy which is much in their favor.They will cope extremely well in any emergency that arises, for the powers ofleadership and organizational ability attributed to the Sun sign Leo are alwayspresent and will be called upon and expressed at just a moment's notice.The emotional forces are strong, and the intuition and imagination powerful. Thesecan be expressed creatively through any art form sympathetic to the Sun sign. Thetendency to show off, at any age, must be countered by other less extrovertindications in the chart. This is a placing that needs a steadying hand, not onlyelsewhere in the chart, but also from those with influence over the subject. Even so,this placing is often found in the charts of big achievers, especially when the Moon isnear the Midheaven or situated in the tenth house.(Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker)The Moon sign Leo indicates an emotionally proud individual with a flair fordramatics who will often seek the spotlight. There is an unconscious need to beadmired and appreciated. These people need romance and affection. They are fond ofchildren, parties, art, sports, and entertainment in all forms. Because they may beself-centred, they can incline to stubbornness. Sometimes they act like prima donnas,out of the need to dramatize their feelings. There is a tendency to dominate others,especially those within the domestic scene. Their susceptibility to flattery sometimesappears as childish self-importance.The tendency to self-dramatization would be unbearable if these people were notsincere in their efforts at self-improvement. Their need to love and be loved is ahealthy emotional drive and makes for a sunny disposition and constructiveexpression in most cases. Persons with this Moon position want their children to bewell-groomed and their homes to be showplaces of beauty and art.(Lyn Birbeck)You have a noble, though potentially vain, soul. You have the need to live in style withOther - but this could mean being greedy for ease and luxury. You have the instinct towin admiration - but without meriting this you'd always be seeking attention. Yourmother is seen or expressed as one who is unconditionally generous, and / or spoilsyou as her child.You naturally respond towards Other by making him / her feel very special; the 'onlyone'. You respond to children and party situations with playfulness and enthusiasm.You respond to Other or others generally in a warm, dignified and loyal fashion.Your inner child reacts with sulks and tantrums when Other does not find you beyondcriticism; with indignation and melodrama when things are not going your way; andby taking it very personally when Other is indifferent for reasons that possibly havenothing to do with you.You are unconsciously drawn towards Others who appear to have a style orwherewithal that is above average; to exciting, dramatic Others - especially when youare the focus of their attention; and to Others who want to go up in the world and soare impressed by your classy style - and you cannot resist such admiration.You can get caught up in relationships which demand more of you as a person on alllevels - emotional, physical, mental and spiritual; in childish, jealousy-inducingscenarios that you must rise above if you are not to be sunk very low; and inrelationships that bring you down to a more real, unglamorous, emotional level.When you are alone, you are like a banished king or queen. What could be wrong? Isno-one good enough? How wronged you feel! At some point, given long enough, youmay get round to asking yourself where you are going wrong. If so, this would be ahighly important point in your emotional development. This would especially apply ifyou had been alone for quite some time, or have never been properly involved at all.If this is the case, it is most probably because you sense, possibly unconsciously, thatyou would have to get a lot more realistic on an emotional level that the romanticidea you have of love and relationship at present. If, however, you have recentlyseparated, it is very likely that there were warning signs of trouble some time ago,but your ego refused to see or acknowledge them. In any event, you probably feelcheated and forsaken. But if you wish to avoid a similar scenario, then you mustreview your part in all this. This will have something to do with your being verygenerous to Other in some way, hence the 'forsaken' feeling. But ask yourself whatyou were after in return, and if it was realistic. If it was nothing, then why thebitterness?(Grant Lewi)The portrait you paint of yourself is heroic, and towers above the world you inhabit.To live up to the level of your inner picture is a lifetime job requiring energy,courage, and considerable sense of the drama of existence. Private satisfactions arenot very important to you; you are less introspective than most. You want to see thetangible evidence of success, and like it best if the rest of the world can see it, too.You are a bit of a show-off, but since you are utterly honest with yourself, you canlaugh at your own vanities, even when they remain important. You want valuablepossessions, well-groomed childrem, good clothes, accomplishments, and evidence ofaccomplishment that others can applaud. Your desires are basically simple, and yourmethods of getting them are direct; you know what you want, and are willing to makesacrifices for them. You won't sacrifice personal integrity, however, or honor, whichare the intangibles that do matter to you. Education, culture, art, and music,however, matter less. You can take 'em or leave 'em alone; and ten to one, if you dotake 'em, it isn't because they really feed your soul, but because you think evidence ofsuch a soul will in some way add to your prestige. Throughout your life, you willstrive to fulfill an image of yourself which is less a portrait than a statue dominatingthe landscape of your life by its size, its beauty, the dramatic quality of its setting andthe colorful beauty of its trappings. And in becoming this statue, you are likely tobecome many other more spiritual things which you don't even desire, and which areadded to you because of the honest workmanship that goes into your self-sculpture.(Robert Hand)You consider yourself important, and want to do things that will make other peopleproud of you. But most of all you must be proud of yourself, and you will avoid anysituation that would make you look bad to yourself.You like to be the centre of attention, and will often act in a way that attractsattention. In a group, you try to be the outstanding person one way or another. Youtake your feelings very seriously, and are inclined to emphasize or exaggerate themwhen talking to others. You also may exaggerate other things, which you should becareful of, because the result may be that people will not take you seriously when youwant them to.Above all, you feel the need to be yourself, and you do not easily act as other peoplewant you to. You can be quite stubborn, which is perfectly well and good, but othersalso have the right to be themselves, and you may not allow them to.You are emotionally very warm; and if you like someone, you let him or her know it.But you need love and affection too; and, above all, reassurance. The better you feelabout yourself, the less you feel the need to show off.You are very fond of playing games, either athletics or indoor games. Often youprefer to play rather than work.Ami AnneGreat article. I get so overwhelmed with charts that I forgot the house of your moon, Sweet One.

moon in leo
StaticIf you subconsciously seek to confirm your worth by superiority, you may expectothers to come to you, like the king waiting to receive his audience. You may use thepretence of objectivity to ensure that others will admire you on your pedestal. If youunconsciously select associates on the basis of their ability to increase the Leomaterial status, you can experience the discomfort of relating without inner affinity.Thus, in needing others as tools to further your own values and goals, you close thedoor to receiving rewards that are beyond your expectations or defined objectives.Needing to be entertained, you can go on 'automatic' and unconsciously use yourcharm to increase your material position. This is borne of an inner attitude of 'whatcan you do for me?' and costs you your self-confidence in expressing trulyspontaneous feelings. You may hoard resources, begrudgingly sharing them withthose who are close. Concealing assets causes you to lose status in their eyes, and,consequently, in your own. Confidence in others is eroded when you seek to takeadvantage to enhance your material position and feel superior in comparison.DynamicYou can create the self-worth you need as you notice that old methods for achievingadmiration from others do not result in success. The values projected may not bewhat others want or need. You must first relinquish the position of director,producer, and main character in your life drama. This enables you to get in touchwith the audience and find out which of your many talents and resources areappropriate to the situation.When you approach relationships thinking, 'It's not what you can do for me, it's whatI can do for you', you experience an unshakable sense of your own worth. When youopen yourself to the desires and needs of others, you gain insight into the role youcan play. By inspiring others, you not only are entertained, but also gain a sense ofself-worth in the process.Choosing to focus on others' needs frees you to express the flamboyant, generous Leonature in a way that supports the worth of others. In the process, your worth isvalidated. As a by-product of contributing your talents to uplift others, you findenjoyment and happiness. The loyalty and love of your family are earned when yousupport their values and needs in establishing their worth. Stepping out of yourdrama and realizing how much fun you're having in your dramatics lightens yourwhole outlook on life.GeneralYou have a need for recognition, approval, and praise. You take naturally to applause;and insecurity results when you feel ignored or not treated as someone special.This insecurity can result in feeling that you must perform according to otherpeople's standards and to further other people's goals in order to gain applause. Youcan be almost childlike in your need for approval, totally dependent on being withpeople who will flatter you and pamper your ego. Your need for constant reassurancecan tax the energies of those who love you, and rob you of your freedom and selfconfidence.During your life, you are learning to dedicate yourself to more universal causes thatallow you to do your part in furthering the evolution of the race. When you focus onthe larger drama and allow yourself to be a vehicle for an energy that furthers thegoals of humankind, your powerful ego assums a lovely balanced role. Seeingyourself as a channel for helping your brothers and sisters allows you to accept yourchildlike qualities and be more tolerant of your mistakes because you know yourmotive was of the highest.Regarding those you are close to as friends, rather than subjects or your privateaudience, allows you to support their special life force, which will naturally result intheir freely acknowledging you.Clarity about the ideals of humanity that you support allows you to offer approval andvital support to others without expectations of loyalty. This opens the gateway to aflood of unexpected appreciation of your generosity of spirit when you least expect it.(Tracy Marks)Those of us with Leo Moons particularly need to feel loved and appreciated, to betreated specially, to play, and to express ourselves spontaneously and creatively. Weneed warmth and devotion, and are able to give abundantly from our hearts as longas we are also being fed with love. Otherwise, our lunar nature may become distortedand compulsive in its insistence upon attention and / or power. Negatively, we maybe unable to relinquish centre stage, may overdramatize in order to impact others, ormay become dominating or bossy in our attempts to maintain command overourselves and others.A Leo Moon suggests that we had loving parental figures who prized us highly,became enthusiastically involved in our activities and triumphs, and were capable ofencouraging and sharing our playful spirit. However, an afflicted Moon may indicateparents who either overindulged or deprived us. At one extreme are the mothers whospoiled us with too much attention and too many special treats, preparing us to liveour adult lives only as princes or princesses. At the other extreme are the narcissisticparents, the tyrant queens or kings who sought only that we become obedientsubjects, or who overly identified with us, urging us to live their dreams andadamantly discouraging our individuality.As a result of our childhood upbringing, we may have internalized messages whichsupport attention-seeking, childish, demanding and / or dominating behaviorpatterns. We may act as if we deserve to be the centre of everyone's universe and notjust our own. We may, because of past unmet needs, become compulsive in our desireto prove our value and gain acclaim.A Leo Moon has much to give provided it is able to bask in the sunlight of warmthand affection. Those of us who have Leo Moons may need to feed ourselvesemotionally rather than always expect others to provide for us. We need at times togive ourselves our full attention and appreciation, to be our own audience, and toencourage and delight in the spontaneity and zest of our inner child. If we are toexperience emotional satisfaction, we need to keep our hearts open to pain as well asjoy, and to become capable of loving others not only because they love us in turn, butalso because we truly love ourselves.(Sydney Omarr)The Moon in Leo makes the native want to give the impression of nobility. In hisdesiring to present such a picture, his very actions and thoughts often do becomenoble. This native has drive and ambition; he wants to better himself. Security initself does not satisfy him. Ambition is a key word here. Like the Moon in Taurus, heloves luxury. But there is more 'fire' to his make-up - he is dashing, and popular withthe opposite sex, and tends toward extravagant gestures. He is prone to 'emotionalhangovers'.The Moon in Leo tends to sit in an 'ivory tower'. He tells himself that he is merely aninterested spectator. But very often he becomes more involved in situations than theactual participants.The astrologer must know that the native has an inner feeling of strength. He doesn'tcall on it because he feels it is there whenever he needs it. This could create the kindof situation which is hopeless - something like this: the writer who begins to hang outin 'dives'. He tells himself he is there to gather material. But soon he is one of thelocal characters - providing instead of gathering stories. The Moon in Leo requiresdiscipline; otherwise, he slips into the easiest path, never really living up to hispotential. The tendency here is toward 'snobbery'. The rules are fine, he is apt to feel,but they don't necessarily apply to him. He will associate with anyone but keep a partof himself to himself. On the positive side, he holds something in reserve. On thenegative side, he thinkgs he is holding something in reserve. A fine point, but it couldcreate disillusion, dissipation and unhappiness.Generally, the native is honorable, and generous with time and money. He needs tofeel he is special. In dealing with members of the opposite sex, he seeks one whofinds him charming, irresistible. He shows appreciation of and ability in artistic,creative fields, including music, painting, poetry. He loves to explain, display andcriticize the arts. He is never satisfied with burying his 'light' in a bushel.(Haydn Paul)There is a strong sense of individuality within this position, often indicating a moreself-contained emotional nature, which nevertheless is attracted toward theemotional gratification of the spotlight of approval and applause. Attention is anemotional fuel, and you may display childish petulance if this need is denied, perhapsthrough emotional displays whenever your demands for attention are ignored byfamily, friends, or colleagues. Your ego and vanity are easily wounded, especiallythrough sensitivity to criticism; and you become moody and brood in response tonegative comments.Compulsive needs exist for success and public attention, which may have roots withinchildhood and your relationship with parents. You need to be self-assertive, althoughto some you may appear too confident, too self-assured or forceful. This is anexpression of inner strength, and you are often guided by this feeling of integrity,responsibility, and sense of purposeful direction. Leo as a fixed sign implies an abilityto concentrate your will once a direction is determined. You can be single-minded,bending only when absolutely necessary, instead of being intrinsically flexible.You want close, loving, and intimate relationships; you need to love and to be loved.In a loving relationship, there is the opportunity to express and receive admirationand appreciation. Your emotional self-determination, linked with personal magneticcharm, can make you attractive to others, especially to those looking for a strongerpartner, or to others equally independent in nature. Your stubbornness may causefriction and conflict when wills clash, particularly if you try to dominate a partner orfamily member; and at times like this, your emotional immaturity is often revealed.Once hte moment has passed and tempers have cooled down, you can objectively seethe overreaction or emotional button that has been pressed, and resolve that 'nexttime, I won't rise to that bait again'. Time will tell.If the Moon nature has been denied, signs of compulsive activity may occur,especially tendencies of self-adulation, hogging the center stage, ego-inflation, andattempts to dominate any who are unable to resist; the 'superiority complex' is onewhich is often seen in social / employment hierarchies. This is when insecurity hidesbeneath the surface, and self-esteem needs to be derived from positions of status orfrom the attention of others. There can be a susceptibility to flattery and a need forsocial approbation.Your potential is to develop a constructive, optimistic approach to life's experiencesand to fulfill personality needs. You may have to create or discover appropriate waysto satisfy your needs, rather than relying on others. Your nature requires acceptance,so that you can appreciate, value, and explot innate talents and qualities. Payattention to satisfying emotional needs and feelings; succeeding in this will reduceyour compensatory need to play center stage and make you less vulnerable toaudience reaction.(Skye Alexander)Self-confident, cheerful and optimistic, your outlook on life (at least your own life) isgenerally sunny; and not much dampens your spirits for long. You always assume thatthings will work out for the best, and usually they do. You have a knack for attractinginto your life people and circumstances that will benefit you. You are a naturalleader, and others follow you because you project an aura of knowing what you aredoing.For you, love certainly makes the world go 'round; and in relationships, you areromantic, affectionate, generous and enthusiastic. You love the idea of being in love.Being the centre of a lover's attention feeds your sizeable ego, and you like nothingbetter. Flattery will win ou over every time, and you are rather naive when it comesto affairs of the heart. A wily partner could separate you from everything you own,simply by doting on you and keeping you entertained.Self-centred and rather vain, you believe everyone is as fond of you as you are ofyourself. You probably flirt with everyone you meet, but it's because you thrive onconstant attention, not because you are inherently fickle. Once committed to arelationship, you are generally a loyal and devoted partner. You desperately need tobe loved and approved of; and nothing hurts you more than being unappreciated -unless it's being humiliated in public. The one offence you can't forgive is someonestepping on your pride.You have an innate sense of the dramatic, and always do things with a flair. A naturalshowman, you can be quite entertaining and are often the life of the party. Perhapsyou dress in an exotic, flamboyant manner, or in the height of style. Perhaps you area talented actor or entertainer, always ready to perform for an audience. However,you need to be careful of being loud or showy simply to get attention.Your natural abilities probably include some sort of artistic talent, and you are quitecreative. In addition, your self-confidence allows you to keep on believing in yourself,regardless of what others think - a necessity in fields like art or the theatre.It is quite likely that you use your creativity to make your home a showplace. Youmay have a gift for interior design, and are good with color, though your taste isnever subtle and can tend toward garishness. Your home is your castle, and you wantto live like a king / queen. As a result, you are inclined to overextend yourselffinancially to impress others with your house and lifestyle. You enjoy entertaining athome, and are a generous and gracious host / hostess.When you were young, your mother (or nurturing parent) probably showered youwith attention and reinforced your efforts so that you grew up believing you could doanything. If you displayed talent early, she / he may have enrolled you in acting ordance classes, or arranged for you to take art lessons. Though you were a bit spoiled,you were nonetheless a loving and good-natured child and perhaps the familyfavorite. You learned quickly that you could get almost anything you wanted withoutmuch effort. As an adult, you expect things to continue being easy and can be quitelazy.You adore children, and especially playing with them and entertaining them withyour antics and theatrics. A loving, devoted and affectionate parent, you are inclinedto spoil your children. However, they never doubt that you love them, and you aren'tthe type to put a business trip ahead of your son or daughter's Little League game.The one thing you demand, however, is respect; and you won't tolerateinsubordination or disobedience. Consequently, you might earn yourself a reputationin the family as a benevolent dictator.Women with this Moon position are usually affecionate, strong-willed, self-centredand excessively concerned with their appearances. Men sometimes project this sideof themselves onto the women in their lives, and may be attracted to women who aredramatic, creative, vivacious, glamorous, even a bit gaudy.(Marion D. March and Joan McEvers)Self-sufficient and self-reliant, you will leave things alone unless you are personallyconcerned. Once you have decided to act, you are resentful of interference andcriticism. You are emotionally attached to anything that belongs to you or reflects onyour ego personally.Your sense impressions are well-developed, and you are able to make quick, accurateevaluations of other people and their motives. You have a fiery temperament, and youcan quickly cut other people down to size.Self-centred and somewhat pompous, you may lack objectivity and have a blind spotin your emotional perspective. For you to truly enjoy any relationship, your heartmust be involved.You usually lack curiosity; but when you are motivated, you learn quickly andaccurately, although all your learning is colored by your feelings. Leo lends a nobilityto the emotions, but this placement also makes it difficult to back down or tocompromise. You are hard to convince; but when you do open your mind and heart,you learn the quickest of all.You have a need to be admired and applauded. Despite your basic loyalty, if you feelunappreciated you will seek appreciation and satisfaction elsewhere.People with the Moon in Leo are sexually magnetic and charming, but may also beoverbearing and arrogant. In a man's chart, it makes him romantic, fun and sexy, orhe may tend to conceit, arrogance and an overbearing ego. Both men and womenwith this placement are attractive and attracted to the opposite sex. The man willseek a woman with flair, enthusiasm and good taste.The Moon in Leo brings positions of authority and leadership, which you acceptseriously and easily. You are ambitious and status-conscious; you want prominenceand acclaim. Your straightforward honesty is apparent, and your organizing ability isprominent, but take care that it doesn't become bossiness.You love music, the arts, luxury and children; and you usually have a sunny and selfconfident disposition. Your emotions are powerful, your affection is given generously,and you usually favor sophisticated pleasures.You see your mother as a strong personality who dominated you in your youth. Shetried to give you good moral and religious values.The sign of Leo is masculine, positive, fiery and fixed, while the Moon, through itsassociations with the sign of Cancer, is feminine, negative, watery and cardinal. Atfirst sight it doesn't look as if the moon would be very comfortable in Leo, but inmany ways it is.The power of the Sun seems to dominate the Moon, permeating the deepest layers ofthe personality with Leonine characteristics which then bubble their way up to thesurface. If you have this Moon placement you are basically kind, generous andhonorable, with an instinctive need to encourage others. There is a real touch of Leonobility deep down inside you. Being naturally dignified, honest and trustworthy, youwould find it hard to behave in a callous or crafty manner, and you are far too proudto scrounge off others. Your need to appear honest and honourable may not reflectreality; but if you are caught out in a cowardly or underhanded act or if it becomesobvious that you harbour jealous feelings, you can react in an angry and aggressivemanner. You can get on your high horse if your dignity is pricked.The fixity of the sign gives you the determination to see things through and to finisheverything you start. It is possible that you may dig your heels in too much and try tolay the law down to others. You could be stubborn and unbending at times.You sometimes appear to behave in a distant and superior manner; this is your shieldfor those times when you are in unfamiliar situations. When hurt, you retreat intosomething which you see as dignified silence and others see as the sulks; however,under normal circumstances you are cheerful, friendly and open. You occasionallyhave doubts about your own self-worth; also occasional feelings of intensesuperiority. The emotions are always held under control when the Moon is in a fixedsign, and therefore they may break out strongly from time to time. You could becomequite aggressive if pushed, or if you are on the receiving end of aggression fromothers. If hurt enough, you would become jealous, full of hate, and revengeful.Lunar Leos can be surprisingly self-sacrificing towards loved ones, but heaven helpthem if the loved ones don't appreciate the sacrifices. You place the objects of yourlove on a pedestal and feel hurt when you discover that they are only human. Yourintense feelings give you a longing for excitement, drama, romance and passion; witha bit of luck, you will find this within a steady relationship; if not, then you will lookfor romance, passion etc. outside marriage. You may even create tension within arelationship to keep it alive. For the same reason, you must have an exciting career;you can put up with an insecure one but not a boring one. Too much contentmentbores you.Your mind is broad, and you are unlikely to follow any of the more fanatical religiousor political beliefs. You may have a religious and philosophical outlook which isdifferent from that of your parents; but this should not be a big problem in your life.Although not in any way bigoted, you may find it hard to change your mind once it ismade up, and you can have rather entrenched views.The Moon is associated with the home; therefore, yours will be attractive with aninteresting sort of décor. You are very fussy about your own appearance, and mayeven be vain. (Men with this Moon placement are actually worse than women.) Theone thing which is the bane of your life is your hair. You may consider this to be toothick, thin, wiry, curly, or, even if male, too bald! You may be vain about your bodyand even your sexual performance. One lady who is married to a very nice Moon inLeo guy tells me that he doles out sex as if it were a treat! As a lover, you could, likeSun in Leo, be bossy and demanding, but also comfortable, relaxed and kind. It wouldbe most unusual to find an out-and-out pervert with this Moon placement. Beingromantic, you enjoy dining out, giving and receiving presents, and rememberingbirthdays. You are fussy about your choice of partner; nothing less than the best willdo for you. You have a strong sex drive, but couldn't cope for long with a relationshipbased on sex alone. You need romance and passion, and you need above all to beloved. Even so, you would find it difficult to live without the comfort and release ofsex; life without love, in all its applications, would be too cold to contemplate. Youdon't mind taking the lead sexually, and can encourage a partner who is lessexperienced than you. Your senses are strong; therefore, everything about sexappeals to you as long as you can perform with a certain amount of decorum. Theback seat of a car in a rainy car park is just not for you (except maybe a RollsRoyce!).You may feel a need to attach yourself to some source of power. You may work withpowerful and successful people, or with large and powerful animals; alternatively,you might be fascinated by the power of magic and the spiritual world. This wouldenable you to enjoy risk-taking at second hand, which is a lunar trait. Your courage,fire and enthusiasm could lead you to learn from the powerful people around you andput their lessons into action for yourself, which is, of course, a solar trait.You will do anything for those whom you love, but you need your generosity of spiritto be appreciated. Leo being a fixed sign, you resist change, and would find it hard toadmit defeat in any situation; therefore, you would find it difficult to cut your lossesand start again. You can put up with the wrong job for far too long, and also hang onto a rotten relationship long after the time has come to end it. You are possibly a littletoo good at maintaining the status quo, especially in emotional situations. You may beself-centred emotionally, and possibly inclined to hang on to those you love - thisapplies to your children as well. Laura, a gentle and skilled palmist now in her midforties, recently left her paranoid and violent husband after many years of abuse; butstill feels that she is unable to make the final break and divorce him. 'It's too final',she says.Unless there are very different characteristics in your Sun and Ascendant, you aresociable and enjoy being entertained; but, being much shyer than the solar Leo typeof personality, you can only entertain others in a quiet way. Sports and the companyof young people appeal to you. You might become involved in some organization likethe Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, the Territorial Army or the Red Cross. There is not needfor you to be the centre of attraction in the world outside, but you do like to be in thecentre of things within your own home. If you did find yourself in the spotlight, youcould cope with it, but you don't seek it consciously in the way that Sun in Leo would.You like to know where the various members of your family are, and to make surethat they are all right; you have an inner need to organize them and keep them on theright lines.Your inner nature, unless you are feeling hurt, is playful, sunny and friendly, whichmakes you popular in a quiet kind of way. You appreciate beauty, creativity and art,and have an instinctive sense of style. You are proud of your loved ones, and even ofyour friends. You prefer not to be surrounded by dirty, down-at-heel types. You neverforget a hurt, but your strong loyalty means that you remember those who havehelped you too. You need to belong somewhere, and may be attached to oneparticular set of bricks and mortar, or to an area of the country with which you feel aparticular affinity. Needing space, you hate cramped surroundings. You love to getaway into the countryside and to take your holidays in a warm and pleasant place.You need holidays and breaks because you tend to put a lot of effort into your job andinto life itself. Your vitality is never drained for long, as you have inner reserves ofstrength.You make an excellent parent, often treating your children as young adults andalways preserving their dignity. You don't seek to hang on to them when they growup. You are able to teach and encourage them through play, but you may not be toopatient with them at times. You can be relied on to give them a cuddle whenever theyare down-hearted or ill.Both solar and lunar Leo subjects learn more easily after leaving school than before.You may take a quite demanding course when already busy with a career, home andfamily; this may be in order to get yourself a better job or just to fulfil yoruself. Youlack confidence in your abilities; therfore, any achievement that you make will helpyou to go on to further successes. Even if you do not have much formal education,you understand people and learn well from life. You have an inner need to be in anexecutive position; and if your circumstances mitigate against this, you could be selfemployed, the king of your own field, although you might need someone else aroundto help you cope with the details.You make a good employer, with an understanding of the need to preserve the dignityof others.You are career-minded; and with your good concentration and good organizationalskills, you can climb the career ladder in a steady manner. You need to gain areputation in some kind of creative field, and may strive hard to perfect somethingwhich will bring you a quiet kind of renown. Your ability to make the right impressioncould lead you to fields of marketing, personnel work, the display of works of art, orantiques. The biggest problem is that you could have big dreams but may be too lazyto make them come true. You want to come out on top of your field, but are strangelyuncompetitive, being too self-centred to worry about others. Your own high standardswould give you enough to compete against. You are very good at calming peopledown and dealing with touchy situations; therefore, some kind of social work withtroubled people, especially troubled youngsters, might appeal. Your attraction toglamour might interest you in some form of showbusiness. There is a creative side toyou which means that you would take to dancing, singing or artistic work of somekind. Being drawn towards children and young people, you could be a teacher(especially if there is Gemini, Aquarius or Sagittarius on your chart). You mightprefer to be a nursery nurse or probation officer. Your love of the good things in lifecould make you a good restaurateur or hotelier, but you might be best employed outin the front. you would be all right behind the scenes organizing others, but under nocircumstances would you want to be the one to do the cleaning and cooking.You are competent and capable as long as you are allowed to work at your own pace,but you detest being hussled and put under pressure.The chances are that your father was autocratic, authoritarian, or just unable torelate to children. You probably got on much better with your mother. You yourselfmight be too ready to push your own children, but this may reflect back onegeneration, meaning that you were pushed by your parents and that they expectedmore from you than you were able to produce at that time. The background may havebeen traditional, even religious in some way, involving rituals and certain kinds ofbehavour. At the worst end of this spectrum, you may have been afraid of your father,or made to feel that you couldn't live up to some impossible image of perfection. Hemay have been a very successful man himself, or he may have achieved a great dealwhile he was still young. Lunar Leos are far more likely to succeed later in life. Youneed parental love, encouragement and appreciation; and if you get this from at leastone parent plus brothers and sisters, fine - if not, you could become something of anemotional cripple. The last thing you need is a cool, intellectual air sign for a parent.You need to keep your intake of food and drink down, and to take exercise and lead amoderate life, because your heart may be weak. There could be spinal trouble; this isparticularly prone to occur when you are unhappy or worried.(Julia and Derek Parker)The immediate instinct of those with the Moon in Leo is to take over. While there isan active and happy enthusiasm, and a need to express emotions in a positive way, itis all too easy for people with this placing to appear bossy, dogmatic and stubborn.But at best they can be an excellent source of inspiration to others, with the ability toget the most out of them - pack leaders who enjoy the role!Their belief that they can do anything as well as or better than anyone else is a mixedblessing. While they will inevitably find plenty of outlets for all their potential(indicated by the characteristics of the Sun sign), and will achieve their aspirations(indicated by the Midheaven), they can tend to overstep the mark and becomesomewhat overwhelming.If shyness or a lack of self-assurance is shown in other areas of the chart, there willbe a conflict which will result in the subbject covering up the inhibited areas byshowing off, perhaps even feigning extroversion and confidence in a way that can beembarrassing for loved ones. If you are working on the chart of a child with thisplacing, it will be necessary to encourage the parents to steady the youngster'snatural exuberance, which at its best is lovely but can become bombastic.There is a special need to make the right impression, especially when these peopleare young, and as a result a great many of them will learn the hard way. In spite ofthis, there is determination and a sense of immediacy which is much in their favor.They will cope extremely well in any emergency that arises, for the powers ofleadership and organizational ability attributed to the Sun sign Leo are alwayspresent and will be called upon and expressed at just a moment's notice.The emotional forces are strong, and the intuition and imagination powerful. Thesecan be expressed creatively through any art form sympathetic to the Sun sign. Thetendency to show off, at any age, must be countered by other less extrovertindications in the chart. This is a placing that needs a steadying hand, not onlyelsewhere in the chart, but also from those with influence over the subject. Even so,this placing is often found in the charts of big achievers, especially when the Moon isnear the Midheaven or situated in the tenth house.(Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker)The Moon sign Leo indicates an emotionally proud individual with a flair fordramatics who will often seek the spotlight. There is an unconscious need to beadmired and appreciated. These people need romance and affection. They are fond ofchildren, parties, art, sports, and entertainment in all forms. Because they may beself-centred, they can incline to stubbornness. Sometimes they act like prima donnas,out of the need to dramatize their feelings. There is a tendency to dominate others,especially those within the domestic scene. Their susceptibility to flattery sometimesappears as childish self-importance.The tendency to self-dramatization would be unbearable if these people were notsincere in their efforts at self-improvement. Their need to love and be loved is ahealthy emotional drive and makes for a sunny disposition and constructiveexpression in most cases. Persons with this Moon position want their children to bewell-groomed and their homes to be showplaces of beauty and art.(Lyn Birbeck)You have a noble, though potentially vain, soul. You have the need to live in style withOther - but this could mean being greedy for ease and luxury. You have the instinct towin admiration - but without meriting this you'd always be seeking attention. Yourmother is seen or expressed as one who is unconditionally generous, and / or spoilsyou as her child.You naturally respond towards Other by making him / her feel very special; the 'onlyone'. You respond to children and party situations with playfulness and enthusiasm.You respond to Other or others generally in a warm, dignified and loyal fashion.Your inner child reacts with sulks and tantrums when Other does not find you beyondcriticism; with indignation and melodrama when things are not going your way; andby taking it very personally when Other is indifferent for reasons that possibly havenothing to do with you.You are unconsciously drawn towards Others who appear to have a style orwherewithal that is above average; to exciting, dramatic Others - especially when youare the focus of their attention; and to Others who want to go up in the world and soare impressed by your classy style - and you cannot resist such admiration.You can get caught up in relationships which demand more of you as a person on alllevels - emotional, physical, mental and spiritual; in childish, jealousy-inducingscenarios that you must rise above if you are not to be sunk very low; and inrelationships that bring you down to a more real, unglamorous, emotional level.When you are alone, you are like a banished king or queen. What could be wrong? Isno-one good enough? How wronged you feel! At some point, given long enough, youmay get round to asking yourself where you are going wrong. If so, this would be ahighly important point in your emotional development. This would especially apply ifyou had been alone for quite some time, or have never been properly involved at all.If this is the case, it is most probably because you sense, possibly unconsciously, thatyou would have to get a lot more realistic on an emotional level that the romanticidea you have of love and relationship at present. If, however, you have recentlyseparated, it is very likely that there were warning signs of trouble some time ago,but your ego refused to see or acknowledge them. In any event, you probably feelcheated and forsaken. But if you wish to avoid a similar scenario, then you mustreview your part in all this. This will have something to do with your being verygenerous to Other in some way, hence the 'forsaken' feeling. But ask yourself whatyou were after in return, and if it was realistic. If it was nothing, then why thebitterness?(Grant Lewi)The portrait you paint of yourself is heroic, and towers above the world you inhabit.To live up to the level of your inner picture is a lifetime job requiring energy,courage, and considerable sense of the drama of existence. Private satisfactions arenot very important to you; you are less introspective than most. You want to see thetangible evidence of success, and like it best if the rest of the world can see it, too.You are a bit of a show-off, but since you are utterly honest with yourself, you canlaugh at your own vanities, even when they remain important. You want valuablepossessions, well-groomed childrem, good clothes, accomplishments, and evidence ofaccomplishment that others can applaud. Your desires are basically simple, and yourmethods of getting them are direct; you know what you want, and are willing to makesacrifices for them. You won't sacrifice personal integrity, however, or honor, whichare the intangibles that do matter to you. Education, culture, art, and music,however, matter less. You can take 'em or leave 'em alone; and ten to one, if you dotake 'em, it isn't because they really feed your soul, but because you think evidence ofsuch a soul will in some way add to your prestige. Throughout your life, you willstrive to fulfill an image of yourself which is less a portrait than a statue dominatingthe landscape of your life by its size, its beauty, the dramatic quality of its setting andthe colorful beauty of its trappings. And in becoming this statue, you are likely tobecome many other more spiritual things which you don't even desire, and which areadded to you because of the honest workmanship that goes into your self-sculpture.(Robert Hand)You consider yourself important, and want to do things that will make other peopleproud of you. But most of all you must be proud of yourself, and you will avoid anysituation that would make you look bad to yourself.You like to be the centre of attention, and will often act in a way that attractsattention. In a group, you try to be the outstanding person one way or another. Youtake your feelings very seriously, and are inclined to emphasize or exaggerate themwhen talking to others. You also may exaggerate other things, which you should becareful of, because the result may be that people will not take you seriously when youwant them to.Above all, you feel the need to be yourself, and you do not easily act as other peoplewant you to. You can be quite stubborn, which is perfectly well and good, but othersalso have the right to be themselves, and you may not allow them to.You are emotionally very warm; and if you like someone, you let him or her know it.But you need love and affection too; and, above all, reassurance. The better you feelabout yourself, the less you feel the need to show off.You are very fond of playing games, either athletics or indoor games. Often youprefer to play rather than work.
