Moon in Leo

The Moon in Leo needs to be appreciated. Feelings are warm, generous and slightly theatrical; the Leo Moon loves openly and expects the love to be noticed. Comfort comes from creating, from play, from being at the centre of a circle of people it cares about. Pride can turn a small slight into a wound. The work is to give warmth without keeping score, and to let the applause be optional.
