When the Moon is in Leo, it is the natural domicile of the Sun and the key word is pride. People born with the Moon in Leo are almost fanatical about their freedom. They can be assertive and take advantage of opportunities. There is also the capacity for self-sacrifice. Their mentality is robust, strong, and decisive. A natural leader, people exude energy and drive. They are generous, encouraging, optimistic with a sense of style and are brilliant at creating a one act play to put everyone on their toes. You love excitement and action, and can be fabulously romantic, but you expect the works in return.

They may sacrifice everything in the cause of righteousness and justice, evolved types portraying great power of will and enormous determination. Leo strengthens the mentality and the positive forces of the mind. It is said that Leo and Aquarius are two of the best positions for the Moon, Taurus and Cancer next. Usually conservative and discriminating, they possess a deep and consistent love nature, and once their love is aroused, they will respond with unstinted measure. These natives have an innate ability to make others dependent on them. They cannot be convinced against their will, nor be swayed against their emotions. The Moon in Leo also strengthens the influence of the Sun especially in Aries and Sagittarius; also when Cancer is rising and the Moon falls in 1st or 2nd house. It cannot be dominated even by their loved ones. Lunar Leo is not the rough-and-ready sort that an Aries, Sagittarius, Capricorn, or Aquarius lunar can be. For a woman this positioning may be a little less desirable, for being strong-minded and determined, she may choose a weak male whom she can dominate at will.
