Natal Moon in Leo
The second of the fire signs, Leo, is one of the warmest and most consistent, confident and optimistic signs in all the zodiac. With the Moon essentially symbolising the emotional life, your Moon in Leo will make you someone who others will instantly connect to, due to your inner sunniness and positive attitude.
Moon in Leo people often go through big challenges in life, simply because they are the most emotionally equipped to deal with difficulties, and emerge with their hearts intact – sometimes even stronger. Being a Leo Moon means you love with all your heart, and it takes a great deal for you to let go of that. It is only if someone has betrayed your loyalties and attentions over and over again, do you realise that you need to let go, and once you do, you’ll never look back. Because you are fixed in your emotional nature, you hold onto a feeling for a long, long time, hence why you love so powerfully for so long.
Leo is also the sign of the Lion/Lioness, which makes you fiercely protective of your “pack”. Your family always comes first, along with your chosen life partner – but most of all, your children will be the ones that you lavish your devotion on, and defend with your last breath. You have a powerful need to provide for those you care about, which translates into huge generosity and habit of giving very easily. You’ll not think twice about spoiling your loved ones and making sure that they have the very best of the best. Of course, you won’t stint on yourself either, and you adore pampering yourself in ways that make you feel looked after and groomed. Both men and women with this Moon sign often have a gorgeous mane of hair that you take very good care of, and a glamorous, expensive wardrobe to boost. Looking good is an emotional need for you, and a matter of pride – you know how to do it well!
Many Leo Moon people can be performers, actors and dancers, loving to express yourself creatively through the arts. You could very much enjoy being on a stage, especially when young, and may revel when you’re in the spotlight. Many Leo Moon people become managers, social event coordinators or project heads – Leo is a sign that loves to lead, and you have a natural royalty and authority about you. However, you’ll have to be mindful of becoming bossy or dominating, as you may – unintentionally – not always be aware of the needs of others or even struggle to distinguished their needs from your own. It will be important for you to learn that you won’t always be able to call the shots for someone else, as much as you may just want to help.
Your Leo Moon sign can also make you someone that needs a great deal of love and attention in return from your family, friends and partners. As much as you spoil and are generous towards others, you need the same treatment back, and may get rather put out when you feel dismissed or ignored. Although you may hide it under a show of confidence and pride, you may be deeply hurt inside that someone would forget you. You may lash out in a temper or become extremely demanding as there is no “small” emotion with you – you have a tendency to become extremely dramatic over seemingly little things. Your loved ones will need to be sure to give you plenty of loving attention, which makes you purr like nothing else, and expands your already huge heart to give more of yourself. After all, being emotionally dramatic also makes you feel more of the good feelings, like love and happiness for example.
Domestically, you’ll like to have a fine looking home filled with things that are grand, luxurious and probably quite expensive. Your home needs to reflect who you are, and may have elegant pieces of artwork, photograph of loved ones and yourself and plenty of mirrors to admire yourself! A walk-in closet is a dream for a female Leo Moon, or a great big TV for a man is ideal.
It’s important for a Leo Moon to find nurturing through creativity and play – when you are too busy working, caring and doing the day to day, you may forget to access that inner child and let your spirit loose. This is one of the very few things that can make you feel emotionally low in the long term, so making sure you have an outlet is absolutely key. Many Leo Moons also love being active – being a fire sign assures that you will have plenty of physical hobbies Whether it’s yoga, dance, Pilates, running or hitting the gym, you’ll want to keep yourself in tip top shape.
A Leo Moon is an outgoing Moon, which means that you have a strong circle of loved ones around you at any give time. One of your closest friends may or may not be your own mother. Although you are very strong willed emotionally, you will be loyal to her until she proves you wrong, and even then, you’ll still be rather protective. Your relationship may get easier the longer you have been out of her house, creating your own space, ruling your own home. Your stubbornness and occasionally hot temper may have caused some difficulties when young, but usually dissipate as you have your own children and devote yourself wholly to rearing them with pride and skill.
Your Moon in Leo can be a wonderful blessing to yourself, and to everyone around you. It’s easy to love and be loved with this Moon, and despite any setbacks, you’ll always bounce back with confidence and grace. Your creativity is a gift to be nurtured and your pride in yourself an inspiration to all who meet you. A Leo Moon is meant for leadership and can go very far in life, once you learn to always validate and believe in yourself.
