Leo Sun, Leo Moon

☉ Your Sun in Leo

Something in you needs a stage, and refusing it only dims the room. You become yourself by making - a performance, a party, a child, a grand gesture - and then by being witnessed at it. Pride is your birthright and your work both; the trick is learning it's warmest when it's generous. There's a mane-tossing, sun-warmed confidence to you that draws people in, and a real ache when the light turns elsewhere. You give like royalty and love to be thanked like one. Your becoming is a bonfire built in company: the point was never the flame alone but the faces around it.

☽ Your Moon in Leo

What you need, under everything, is to be seen, not flattered but genuinely seen, and to feel that your warmth lands somewhere it's wanted. A Leo Moon runs on appreciation the way a fire runs on air; withhold it and something in you dims. You love generously, theatrically, with your whole chest, and you're wounded most by indifference, far more than by anger. Comfort comes through being adored a little and getting to adore back. Pride guards a tender core here, so you'd rather perform fine than admit you're hurt. But give you an audience of one who truly looks, and you glow like a lamp left on for someone coming home.
