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.

In plain words

The Moon stands for your feelings and needs. In Leo, that works in a Leo way: warm, proud and wanting to be seen. You do things with heart and want them noticed.
