The Moon in Leo

Leo is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. With the Moon there, astrologers describe the emotional weather as warm, generous and a little theatrical. Feelings want an audience, or at least a witness.

Moon in Leo days

It's a natural time to make something, dress up, laugh loudly or celebrate someone, yourself included. A Moon in Leo day is often read as good for appreciation in both directions: giving it freely and letting yourself receive it.

Worth watching

The shadow side is pride. When recognition doesn't come it can sting more than usual, and it's tempting to perform a feeling instead of having it. Notice the difference between wanting to be seen and wanting to be understood.

As your Moon sign

People born with the Moon in Leo are often described as needing warmth, loyalty and a little admiration to feel secure.

Things to notice

  • Notice what you'd make if nobody were grading it.
  • Notice who deserves specific, generous praise.
  • Notice whether you can take a compliment without brushing it off.

How a Moon sign works

The Moon moves through all twelve signs in about 27 days, so it spends around two and a half days in each. In astrology the Moon stands for moods, comfort and habit, and the sign it's passing through is read as the tone of those few days for everyone, whatever their sun sign. Your own Moon sign, the one it was in when you were born, is said to color what helps you feel at home.
