Moon in Leo:     Ruler: Sun

     The Leo Moon has a reigning need to be dramatically ego important. The performance of the identity is believed to have been ignored. It has a subconscious need to "shine". It wants to be the center of attraction. Their is also a subconscious (hidden) desire to be someone in authority. They are very ambitious and their drive for security is very strong too. This is one of the most advantageous position in a birth horoscope for the natal moon. It is a very stable moon.

     The Moon in Leo indicates a noble nature. These people consciously choose the good, the generous and the honorable in their relationship to man. They have an instinctive urge to rule over others just as the person with the Sun in Leo. They revel in responsibilities and are indefatigable workers and usually very competent. They have an air of self-assurance which wins them votes and popularity and they  know how to entertain and charm others.

     Moon in Leo produces tendency to extroversion-symbolically like a "full moon". There is an increased awareness of the external world. In Leo, the Moon reveals herself completely. Many lunar Leonians can light up dark places with the magic of their glamorous presence.

     Moon in Leo people have a keen and enthusiastic interest in life. This Moon gives a free-hearted nature with a love for pleasure, music, art, and sports. These people enjoy children, romance, gaiety, parties, games and celebrations and do their best to see that everyone has a good time. 
     
      Sight is the most developed sense. The first appeal must be made to their heart rather than their head.. What they believe in is tied or linked with their affections. They are very independent and love their freedom. Often they are so egotistical that they do not take other people's feelings and reactions into consideration and they are impervious to outside influences when they should be taking them into account.

     Mothers of these Leo Moon people may have tried to decide everything for them, but would have considered that the best was none too good for their children. They would have been very interested in their mental and moral training even though they would not have been very interested in their physical needs or in taking care of them physically.

     The personal appearance of these people is outstanding. They are usually very good looking and dress with great care and taste. Grooming means a lot to them, and this might be one of the reasons why they always "get their women".

     This is almost the only moon position that has a purely romantic, high-minded and spotless conception of love. Their is no inclination toward any form of sexual perversity or irregularities. The passions are primitive but straight.

     With the Moon in Leo, self-sacrifice is part of the nature. These people give much of themselves that they make complete dependents of those that they love. There is so much heart and passion behind everything that they do, that the objects of their devotion must be fine indeed t live up to the heights upon which they are placed. Dangers of this position are jealousy, vengeance, and self-sacrifice. These people are so jealous that they will go to any  lengths to protect their affections and possessions from trespassers. They are equally terrible in revenge. There is nothing subtle about their attack. Their responses to both of these passions (jealousy and revenge) are intense, primitive and direct.

     Women with this Moon are apt to be domineering and high-minded. She often chooses a weaker man. The possibilities are that her mate will be smothered with love and care, but he may be henpecked and bossed. However, in the business world, they do quite well and are very competent.

     A man with this Moon usually is very lucky in his choice of a sweetheart or wife. He is clear-sighted and able to judge character. An inferior woman would have no appeal to this type of man as he is too discriminating, and his standards are too high to allow him to choose a wife carelessly. Having made his selection, his devotion is intense and faithful throughout his life. They usually attract a positive and dramatic type of woman.

     The weakness of this position is extravagance particularly in the realm of the emotions. Feelings are easily stimulated and some form of creative self-expression is needed to let off steam. They must learn to govern their emotions as they can get extreme.

     Moon in Leo give a desire for recognition regardless of what has been done to merit the admiration sought. There is a weakness for gambling and speculation. The negative types could become intolerable egotist while your "higher" ones could lead a life of inspired achievement.

     Physically, this moon give great strength and vitality. The heart, however, cannot stand the amount of strain it is subjected to. The disposition is to overwork. They need a good deal of rest and sleep and a simpler living habits than they by nature select. They are inclined to eat too much and their choices of food are too elaborate for their constitution. They are also inclined to drink too much. With an afflicted moon, there are tendencies to heartburn, palpitation, angina pectoris or any cardiac illnesses. Illnesses that attack this lunation can be avoided by temperate health habits.
